Horrendous. An all-white supermajority in Mississippi's legislature just voted to create a special police force and judicial system for white people in Jackson, MS, bringing Jim Crow back around full circle. Apparently, Mississippi's white #Republicans don't want to be arrested, investigated or judged by black people and want to be unaccountable to the voting of the local citizenry.

This is Trump's America.

Ok but real talk if you’re back on mastadon tonight because #twitter is basically a few pieces of wire held together with electrical tape… maybe stay a while!

I’ve been spending a bit more time here lately, and as a woman who has seen some SHIT on the old bird site, things here have been a lot more pleasant. And a lot less violent and scary.

So far!

Don’t make me eat my words!

Prior to 1982, stock buybacks were considered stock manipulation. It was Reagan's SEC that opened the floodgates to their abuse.

Stock buybacks don’t create more jobs. They don't increase wages. They don’t grow the economy.

They do one thing: Make corporate execs richer.

I don't know why I'm so intimidated to post here. I've been logging in periodically and quietly reading but I feel awkward posting

Not to brag, but I was spewing out hilariously incorrect information before huge tech companies decided to create AI chatbots and ruin the internet.

Ironically enough, just 3 days ago Adam Hageman of Turning Point USA was arrested for their involvement in a child porn sweep on the Telegram app along with more than a dozen others

Once again, the far-right nut jobs in the GOP prove beyond doubt that they don't deserve, nor are they qualified in any way, to lead our country. My disgust for the childish behavior on the Republican side of the aisle and Marjorie Taylor Greene's antics in particular reached new heights tonight. The current GOP is a cancer on America. Thank God we elected Joe. #SOTU #MTG #MTGMustGo #PresidentBiden

“Our cheap text generator doesn’t have good content filters, so it’s transphobic” isn’t a “malfunction”, it’s operating as designed.

This concept that ML should ingest all the crap in the world, and then somehow fix it afterwards, is neither safe nor possible.

The way I put it on my radio segment earlier this evening, was that a year ago there were five crypto ads on the big game, and the people pushing crypto were called geniuses. This year, there are no crypto ads at all on the big game. What does that tell you?
