I just got a random text message from someone in LA asking me out for Italian. I answered "New phone, who dis?" What I hoped was it was the person who had randomly texted me years ago, and we struck up a friendship that lasted a couple of years, until my phone crashed and I lost her number. *sigh*

Wikipedia is now on Mastodon, at @wikipedia!

They've taken an interesting approach here, as it is an account run by the community, where everyone can contribute (explanation here: meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/@Wikip). At the same time, it is verified on the official homepage of wikipedia.org, as you can see in the screenshot.

Personally, I think this suits the spirit of the fediverse that the Wikipedia account is not a PR department, but community members building something together!

I'm getting really sick of people lying about guns. I just watched a pair of news commentators discuss how Americans are armed with "pea shooters and hunting rifles."

Plot twist, these are progressive commentators, arguing against the 2nd. They are lying because they want to stress how stupid any would be to resist the government. And how their pea shooters are ineffective. Yesterday these same guys said those pea shooters are weapons of war appropriate only on a battlefield, the most destructive weapons in history.

The reality is that neither extreme is true. But the argument is always extremes. I'm just revolted by it.

Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus

@thatguyoverthere @freemo @lmrocha @pj well the ancient Greeks summarized the logical fallacies. And probably about 90% of the media's content would fall into one of these categories.

Or, as I like to put it, guess what Big Pharma was working on this weekend? They seem to want to have some input about the potential for their blockbuster drugs to be un-approved by some guy named Matt.

Something, something, Republicans support business, something else.
