  I started ringing this bell as Cheney & Dubya barfed Fascist language & the culture industry leapt into chorus. I was handed eyerolls & told that I call everything I don’t like Fascist (not true! I don’t like stupid and ugly things for different reasons!). Over the decades, I’ve gotten a LOT of mumbled apologies. It took TEN YEARS of this santorum before anyone with a voice started saying maybe it’s ok to use words to mean what they mean. I’m right next time, too. https://www.th...

  RE: https://mstdn.social/@Npars01/116975593254752742 For perspective, the school where I used to teach was struggling on its $2M budget. Teachers could have been paid properly and repairs could have been made on 3.

  Indian dad chaperoning his daughter at the Tortoise concert started cynical and grouchy and wound up kind of amazed leaning in and cheering for all the hypercomplexity. Eyes closed, smiling and rocking with the 6/4 time.

  I have a new addition to my Best Shows memories. As we were leaving Superbooth, a said to Septic Snake “I wonder if Mædon is playing somewhere tonight.” So I went to her site, and sure enough! A tram ride would allow us to rest our feet anyway. Then I looked up and saw a poster right in front of us for the show. This is the kind of scene I was born for. #eurorack #superbooth #modularsynth #synth

  I want to take this moment to remind everyone that Fascists are losers. They win sometimes because they just like to hurt people, or because they cheat, or because they seized an opportunity, but remember: They make themselves enemies of the universe. They believe that sulking rage and violence will beat the universe into a form their liking. But truth is a vast, interlinked web of everything that has ever happened. And Fascists are violent romanticists who cannot discern truth.

  It's not rogue. It's just doing what it does. The rogue here is the person who decided to stake everything on a technology that has a known failure mode of "total and complete fuckup and no relationship to the truth." https://mstdn.social/@_L1vY_/116478501589241729

  Well done, Virginia. Democrats, if you use this power to take down the corruption class, Democrats included, then we might start believing in you.

  @Fragglemuppet I imagine it’s because, as soon as Academy is done, there’s no more planned Trek. Pretty much time to cancel Paramount.

  @octothorpe Yeah, still sent the guy a free computer though. Framework thinks the problem is PR management, not that they’re resourcing a dedicated racist and misogynist who calls Framework’s users “insane woke” for having said that DHH/Omarchy said what he said.

  I’m looking for fellow #hampshirecollege alums, in particular because we have a constitutional difficulty developing or trusting in institutions that are supposed to help us stay together. Please pass this around so we can find each other!

  Do a bad job for the Fascists.
