The dude who was like "print out the twitter code and I'll READ it" is going to be in charge of efficiency

I was there.

Don’t stop.

Thank you Mastodon and the Fediverse for being an example of communicating without billionaires and US venture capitalists calling the shots. We're going to need more of this.

Someone said “good morning” to me at the bus stop and before thinking about it I said “no it’s not. It is objectively *not* a good morning.”

I regretted this instantly all the bus stop regulars already think I’m a strange little nerd. Now they will think (know?) I’m a weirdly politically obsessed strange little nerd.

But instead of the look 👀 of disapproval, hilariously everyone agreed.

“Bad morning!”
“BAD morning!”

It’s not just four more years of Donald Trump. It’s four more years to Infinity of Melania, Jared, Ivanka, Eric, Jr Lara, Tucker, Elon, and on and on. And this time all boasting of having a mandate that may unfortunately be true. The worst Twilight Zone episode, ever.

Anyone blaming Harris and Democrats right now can fuck off.

Your family and neighbors are voting for Nazis, that's the problem.

Those who DO learn from history are doomed to watch others repeat it anyway.

I have to complete my self evaluation today and I really just want to write, "This year I did work and you compensated me for it, as per our agreement."

If only we could convert conservative hypocrisy into usable energy. It certainly sustainable enough.

Partner took these on her walk to work this morning, and since she doesn’t post, it falls to me to show you all how pretty our new little urban neighbourhood can be in the fall. #Halifax #Sunrise #HalifaxWaterfront

Many years ago i encountered an article about the ecological benefits of “Not Raking Leaves In Fall” and I follow it happily now. All the trees are currently dropping dead leaves and where the wind puts them, I leave them. Every year, in the spring, I marvel at the discovery that overwinter, they get used, eaten, and rot into the ground. There is simply nothing to rake in the spring. I sort of want to kick earlier me for busting ass with raking. It’s pointless. #today #yard #leaves #raking

Swing state paper publishes blistering takedown of a key component of Trump's agenda

...would bring about economic ruin and hardship for millions of Americans...

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, one of the largest papers for the battleground state of Georgia...

Trump’s planned 10%, 20% or 60% tariffs — he proposes...will raise food and drug costs. Indeed, economists have found that Trump’s tariff plans will cost families between $2,600 and $4,000 per year."

(If Joe Biden did this the NYT would devote a special edition of the paper to calling his cognition into question)
