  Fucker killed a teenager and almost killed another by driving while using Instagram, chatting with an AI girlfriend (I'm guessing that's what "Her A.I." is) and... playing online chess. He faces a max of 3 years in jail and a $5k fine. Lifetime driving ban isn't authorized under the law. I'm no fan of incarceration, but compared to people who commit non-deadly crimes without cars... https://www.wmar2news.com/news/region/harford-county/phone-records-show-driver-used-app...

  @QasimRashid@mastodon.social If this doesn't prove to women that complying with patriarchy (in this case, by marrying and taking husbands' names) to avoid conflict and be granted limited privileges is a really bad plan, I don't know what will.

  @W6KME Since you responded to a comment rather than the post with the link to the article, I think it was fair to assume that you were responding to the comment rather than critiquing the article itself. It came off as dismissive. Maybe take a moment to consider how your post might land within a thread rather than doubling down when you cause offense by telling other people how to read your posts without an understanding of the social context within which they read them?

  Oh good, once again the mansplainer mansplained that actually he wasn't mansplaining, made more accusations that I was the ignorant one, and blocked me before I could reply. Male socialization does not make people easy to communicate with. Congrats to all the cis men who have done the difficult work of learning to communicate with humility, respect, and effort to actually listen and understand.

  And now he's talking about his motivation to keep staging supposed assassination attempts to make himself feel "impactful". What a pathetic excuse for a human. He doesn't even try to hide his evil.

  Good, let Elon and the dogebros clean out the cruise ship instead of working class people. https://www.jezebel.com/hantavirus-infections-pandemic-spreading-research-canceled-trump-administration-nih-treatment-transmission

  So much talk about the price of gasoline, so little talk about breaking the US's uniquely severe addiction to it.

  Janet Mills wanted to retire, not become a senator. Chuck Schumer thought she should run anyway because old + centrist = "electable". Loyal, obedient Democrats of the small donor upper-middle class donated millions to the DSCC & other establishment organizations to fund her campaign. She flushed it all down the toilet on purpose. I guess at least maybe it was a gender-neutral toilet? https://www.commondreams.org/news/mills-veto-data-center-moratorium

  @Korhaka @RockBottom Keep your old bikes in good working order, they'll probably start requiring tracking devices on new ones soon.

  It should not even need to be said that calling to "86" a politician most likely means impeaching or recalling them or voting them out. When a restaurant "86"es the grilled salmon, they don't go out and kill a bunch of salmon, they just remove it from the menu. One might even "86" the salmon because you've gone vegan and decided to stop killing animals to serve them to your customers.

  Happy May Day/mini-general strike everyone. I hope tomorrow helps a lot of us start some better/less consumptive habits that make it harder for oligarchs to oligarch in the long run. I'm going to get off the internet now - even mastodon.

  Almost everyone on the island agrees on what the speed limit should be, but a provincial traffic engineer in a sprawl hell office park says no, they have to let a bunch of tourists come to the island on the new car ferry and wreck their cars or hurt people or animals before the world's least imaginative profession can even consider lowering it. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/big-tancook-island-residents-urge-speed-limit-reduction-before-new-car-ferry-service-starts-9.7148169

  What is with the explosion in conflating the noun woman with the adjective female? If you consider yourself just a reporter/a male reporter in those uncommon situations where your gender is relevant, why are you calling your colleagues the otherizing term "women reporters"? Perhaps you learned that using female as a noun is a red flag of misogyny and you don't know the difference between nouns and adjectives despite having a journalism degree? https://www.independent.co...

  @smitten@key.portend.place @artemis I don't recall anyone calling in bomb threats to overwhelmingly white or conservative universities, or calling diverse schools like NYU and specifically threatening their white students (as someone did yesterday but about Black students), after any of the highly publicized police murders of Black people. I don't even recall email and social media campaigns demanding employers fire everyone who said they weren't sorry George Floyd was de...
