@fraying I have to run a training tomorrow afternoon, God help me. It's gonna take every fiber of my being to keep it from turning into this

@fraying I started writing other stuff here but I'm tired too.

@fraying Imma vote so hard you’ll be able to see it from space.

@fraying I think I’ve gotta start raising goats.

@fraying OMG! I can imagine!!!

“Embarrassingly enough, I like this country. But everything good about it has been the product of centuries of people who had no reason to hope for better but chose to believe that better things were possible, clawing their way uphill — protesting, marching, voting, and, yes, doing the work of journalism — to build this fragile thing called democracy.”https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/10/26/washington-post-endorses-kamala-harris-satire/

When in doubt, the candidate that praises Hitler is the fascist. The one who wants to make sure everyone has healthcare is not.If you can't see the difference in this election, if you really think they're both the same, you're the victim of Russian propaganda, or an idiot, or both.Either way, keep it to yourself. I block fascists. Because they're too far away to punch.

Four years ago, when the choice was between an old white man and a fascist, WaPo found the courage to endorse the not-fascist. But now that the choice is between a Black woman and a fascist, they're "returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates." Interesting, huh?https://www.npr.org/2024/10/25/nx-s1-5165353/washington-post-presidential-endorsement-trump-harris

Voting is not about perfection, it’s about direction. Harris is pointing forward, Trump is pointing backward (to the 1930s, specifically). Vote for the direction you wanna move in.

We’ve finished the harvest, but our Croptober celebration continues! This week we’re making our secret recipe for a great night’s sleep, Sweet Sleep with Chamomile, available for 25% off, the lowest price ever.https://milkbarn.farm/products/sweet-sleep

I have realized that I am now a one issue voter and that issue is preventing a fascist takeover of the United States.

This is some petty, petty shit. Automattic CEO is redirecting emails from Blind to his employees so they can't register with the site (where they might speak ill of their employer).Petty, petty shit.https://www.404media.co/automattic-buyout-offer-wordpress-matt-mullenweg/

Trump. Would. Be. Worse. That’s it. That’s all that matters for the next three weeks.Trump would be worse for Americans. Trump would be worse for Palestinians. Trump would be worse for the world. We’re at the doorstep of fascism in this country, right now, in the next three weeks. We will get Harris in the White House and then we will work to push her to the left because we will still have a democracy where we can.

@cy Unfortunately, that only covers a bit of what Discord offers.I use Discord mostly for a weekly gaming session with some old uni mates, and also we occasionally use it for watching films together - using the voice chat. None of us like Discord a lot, we're all aware that it's a matter of time before it enshittifies intolerably, but we haven't been able to find anything that supports voice chat well and *isn't* a maintenance nightmare. (We're all tired old guys who work too much.)

Sticker Mule continues to be the absolute worst. Do not use them. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/10/nyregion/sticker-mule-trump-sign.html?unlocked_article_code=1.RE4.9buJ.iAa6Q9wDcN_1&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&tgrp=cnt

@fraying for real… won't someone tax the hell out of this shitgibbon?! Clearly, he has too much money, and not enough brains.

For a company that has spent years talking about how important the "Open Web" is, this is some petty bullshit.Two little business bros couldn't work their shit out like adults and now it's everybody's problem.Pathetic.https://tldr.nettime.org/@tante/113277490070161595

Absolutely love to see this. Pre-roll ads on porn sites telling viewers in swing states that Trump and Vance want to make porn illegal. (Yes, it’s in Project 2025!)https://mashable.com/article/adult-creators-launch-hands-off-my-campaign-against-project-2025
