If my kids have to do gun shooting drills & practice where to hide in case a shooter comes into their school with an assault rifle to shoot them, your white kids can handle learning about what your ancestors & their ancestors did to black people in our country til 60 years ago.

Twisted, hollowed-out, anti-vaxx ghouls terrorize parents whose children have died from unrelated causes. #politics #medicine https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/03/covid-vaccine-misinformation-social-media-harassment/673537/

I think I'll give this place a miss. #lostintranslation

My book C# Game Programming Cookbook for Unity (2nd Ed) is available from all good (and bad) bookstores. It's mega expensive though, so I won't be surprised if you pirate it. If you do pirate it, maybe buy one of my games as a gesture so that I can at least make something for writing it? I get a fraction of the money if you buy it in a bookshop anyway, so it's not like I'm missing out massively anyhoo. Oh, and *sales mode* it's quite a good book actually. https://www.amazon.ca/Game-Programming-Cookbook-Unity-3D/dp/0367321645/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= #Unity #GameDev

If you're against Dolly Parton, I'm gonna suggest you're on the wrong side of history.

Syphilis in the US reached historic lows in 2000, and has increased every year since. A whole generation of physicians is now unfamiliar with the classic manifestations of #syphilis; in 2006, I saw several cases of secondary syphilis that had been misdiagnosed by other docs. The consequences of this ignorance are sometimes dire.

100% true !

I’m feeling fucked up after the shooting in my hometown, #Nashville. I’m even more distressed reading the shooter was possibly a trans person. I don’t want to see what horrible things people will pin on them now when the real issue is gun violence. 💔

@TonyStark Nine. Those children were nine years old.

I'm fucking tired of reading about six-year-olds, nine-year-olds, ten-year-olds dying from gun violence. Tired of imagining kids the ages of my nieces and nephews. I'm sure parents are even more tired of it.

It's funny that some people still say "Mastodon is the new Google+" and predict that this "too" will die eventually. They are just forgetting that Google+ was hosted by Google and killed by Google. Mastodon is hosted by no one in particular so it really can't be killed unless all the thousands of servers are killed.

No one is saying that "Internet will die eventually". The same pricinples apply for Mastodon, because to permantently be wiped out would mean an extinction level event. Ironically enough, mammoths died of extinction but Mastodon will prosper. #Mastodon #SocialMedia

It’s so reassuring to know how much state governments care about protecting children from all the drag queens their potential school shooter has to pass on the way to the gun store. The federal government just wants to make sure the shooter can’t watch TikTok. I feel safe, how about you?

A good percentage of my friends are Nazis. That percentage is zero; that’s a good percentage of Nazi friends to have.
