@GW@newsie.social I wonder what effect this will have on hurricane season.

At a time when there are those who seek to ban books and bury history, I'll be clear:

Darkness and denialism can hide much, but they erase nothing. We should learn everything: the good, bad, and truth of who we are.

That’s what great nations do, and we are a great nation.

@GatekeepKen I don’t hate her. I just believe she should have retired 10 years ago. @msnbc

There's no shortage of stupidity.

But it's not useful to think of #fascists as stupid. We underestimate them at our peril.

Here's a link to a (free!) book on right wing authoritarian followers that really helped me understand my neighbors (and why they're so dangerous).

"It’s so hot in Arizona, doctors are treating a spike of patients who were burned by falling on the ground"

"Every single one of the 45 beds in the burn center is full, he said, and one-third of patients are people who fell and burned themselves on the ground. There are also burn patients in the ICU, and about half of those patients are people burned after falls."

@stefano That’s why few of the “big names” and journalists from Twitter arsed to come to Mastodon. @rolle @MisterArix

@rolle Just saw people coming to Mastodon with thousands of followers from other social platforms. They sign up, make a couple of posts like 'Hey, I'm here now!' and hours later, they're surprised they don't instantly have thousands of followers again. Then they say 'no, it doesn't work' and go back to their old social media. Engagement doesn't happen overnight, especially when there are no algorithms guiding others' choices. #Mastodon #SocialMediaEngagement #Algorithms #OnlineCommunity

@c0debabe Practice by feel. I used to do it on myself all the time when nobody else would show me. @epicdemiologist

It's certainly not news for anyone who lives in a state of reality that Rudy Giuliani is a liar. It is news that he is admitting it, but he and his MAGA monster clan have to be held accountable.

@KayJanes English may be the only language without an official 2nd person plural subject pronoun. We should formally adopt “y’all.” @mobydick

Don’t they have anything more important to do? Why is this is an issue the Senate has to involve itself with?

@mobydick This discussion is when I’m very glad to live in a place where “y’all” is accepted and widely used. @KayJanes
