I love how in each of the Barbie and Oppenheimer movies there is the same exact scene where the two walk past each other on the street without realizing it.

While, yes, someone probably could arrest a few child predators (defined as someone who actually abuses someone, extortion counted here) by spying on everyone (and they have), the numbers are usually fairly small compared to the inflated statistics.

Something on the order of dozens. Maybe, over a hundred, in around a year. And that's like two billion people on a platform.

That's the number the advocates of authoritarianism come up with.

How many murders are there in a city? Do we search all the houses for corpses?

Florida under Ron DeSantis now claims slaves benefited from slavery.

Germany and occupied Europe under Adolf Hitler claimed that Jews benefited from concentration camps.

@kissane me and the girls shitposting on mastodon...

for real, fun piece. always soothing to see the drama summarized in context

It's nice to have a pup who obligingly poses when you ask her to.

Neither a plushy rabbit's fuzzy tail or a crazed sunflower, this is actually a Marlborough Rock Daisy (pachystegia insignis) flower that's dropped its petals.

Not sure whether or not this works for #BloomScrolling

So I've been knocked down to one class for the fall semester.

I seriously need a real job.

I would appreciate any help that would actually get me there! #fedijobs #fedihelp #FediHire In other words, please don't waste everyone's time writing "have you applied to x" because a) I probably have, and b) that's just another way to say "fill out yet another form on the Internet that HR's algorithms will yeet into the sun unread." (Do the youth still say "yeet"?)

I am a generalist: political scientist with research and data generation and analysis skills, a published author with editorial and product management skills, a teacher with communication and management skills, a decent artist with design skills, a nonprofit leader with strategic planning skills - and so on - my website is in my bio. I know the basics of python and HTML. Cats love me. (Dogs do too, but that's not as impressive.)

Following the example of the German government and the European Commission, the government of the Netherlands is now running their own Mastodon server! No middlemen between them and their constituents! Welcome @minbzk!
