Holy shit. The convicted murderer who Greg Abbott (R) said he is moving to pardon for shooting a Black Lives Matter protestor just had his private texts released— they show him calling Black people “monkeys,” “animals,” and saying he wants to hunt them. houstonchronicle.com/politics/

@notpike Not a good place for that pocket lighter to be. (Some welders have to learn this the hard way.)

@sonyasteele Yeah, I sensed that from the moment it started -- the "uppity black" rants I used to hear openly in the 50s and 60s. Well, it's still there in Tennessee apparently, just not openly discussed anymore.

The U.S. must root extremists out of the military. Through congressional testimony and other ways, we've given suggestions to the government. There's no time to waste in implementing those suggestions. globalextremism.org/post/leake

@AlliFlowers @1finekitty That's what I was going to say. Lol.

Ms. Huckabilly is apparently ignorant when it comes to computers, the Internet, and how things work. In contrast to the minors she hopes to control, who grew up on the Internet and can easily work around anything she comes up with and escape detection. She's a fool and it shows.

Clarence Thomas not only accepted free vacations and had undisclosed financial dealings with a GOP donor, he also supported the Citizens United ruling and insisted that SCOTUS should, “invalidate mandatory disclosure and reporting requirements.”

His actions drip with corruption.

On CNN this evening, Trump's AG Bill Barr suggested that "keywords" should be scanned on social media to detect stolen intelligence materials, presumably including private groups, since the group where the current materials apparently originated was a private Discord group.

This would be a massive invasion of privacy, and also vastly ineffective for a range of fairly obvious reasons.

I was on a podcast where kids asked two people questions to decide who was the fake and who was the real expert.

The host said that early on, the kids chose the fake every time because the actors answered every question confidently and the experts would hedge or even sometimes say, "I don't know."

They eventually told the fakes to be less confident so the kids would pick the expert sometimes.

It just occurred to me this is now real life with #chatGPT (but nobody is telling it to back off).

@GottaLaff Has Mr. Schwarz not read the books written about Fox and the times they've been sued for presenting false information? They have no ethics. Their own lawyers claim in court that Fox provides entertainment and parody. The name of the show happens to be Fox News. They don't provide news. And the case is invariably thrown out.

I need your help…

NPR is leaving Twitter but they are planning to focus on Instagram

We need to tell them to join the Fediverse

Many of their journalists’ accounts, as well as their main account, haven’t been active on mastodon. Tell them how much we need them here. (In fact, they should have their own instance)

Use the link, tell NPR we are waiting for them here and spread the word far and wide:

@1finekitty This would be a major improvement if the criteria are well designed. Today, they are not. The criteria used today for taking guns away amount to "mental illness". But this accomplishes nothing because virtually all people deemed mentally ill wouldn't hurt a fly anyway.

Different criteria are needed, whether applied only to the gun question or to new definitions for mental illness.

A person who shoots up a school is clearly mentally ill. Yet they might not meet the official criteria for mental illness. There's something wrong with that, that needs to be addressed.

Airline ticketing fees. Concert fees. Bank overdraft fees. Fees for everything.

Corporations call them “convenience fees” or “service fees.” Probably because they “conveniently” “serve” to pad their bottom lines, costing Americans at least $29 billion/yr.

It’s all a huge scam.

@AchesAndPains @Alchemist_Final @StillIRise1963 Yes, well, growing the flock was an important goal of Middle Eastern religions and Christianity. The easiest way to grow the flock isn't by proselytizing, it's by the exponential growth of families that result in kids that are already indoctrinated.
