DON'T FUCKING TALK TO ME, I'M PRACTICING MINDFULNESS.

What a brave new world we live in

An otter family, all snuggled together after hunting in a loch for over an hour.

Fabulous creatures to watch and photograph.

I'm not doing this anymore. It's not worth it. Personal attacks calling me of all people a Nazi, a TERF, an antisemite...

Congrats on destroying something I cared so deeply about. I hope you're happy.

One last message before anyone tries to further assassinate my character:

Fuck Nazis.
Fuck TERFs.
J.K. Rowling can die in a fire for all I care.

Mastodon admins are wonderful people and I'm so appreciative of the hard work that they do to keep this place alive.

Confederate flag carrying seditionist's defenseman -- he is too stupid to know it was insurrection and the flag is a racist symbol.

How does an American reach adulthood and not know these things?

More strange Mastodon reporting. This time from @thurrott, who claims "I’ve been using Mastodon since December, but the interaction there is almost non-existent compared to Twitter."

Dude, you follow 22 people. Try following more people. The "non-existent" interaction is *up to you*.

I've found WAY MORE interactions and engagement here than I ever had on Twitter. Plus fewer death threats.

I send my thoughts and prayers to the people of Turkey and Syria in the aftermath of the disaster that has taken so many.

@caseynewton @zoeschiffer Disgusting human being.

What is Roger Waters doing? Honestly, it was an incredible album, and always will be. Why remake, and worse, why without the others? Do you want people to say "wow you are much better than the others". I honestly don't get it. #pinkfloyd #darksideofthemoon

Fact:

People in western democracies who spread Russian narratives and are pro putin and work to further their agenda are "Russian assets"

I'm still beyond salty about the ban on AP African American history. I don't know why it isn't registering just how far out of line this is.

This is the tamest and most conventional kind of class. It's not like it's IDK a course of "Planned Shrinkage" or "US covert operations in South America" this is just... normal and I THOUGHT well established history.

This is why I never liked studying history. I just don't get the borders of the subject. It's a big mess.

Yeah, I wouldn't trust ChatGPT with anything.

It's starting to break 🤣

OMG.

1. Google has some bad summarization telling people that throwing batteries into the ocean is good.
2. News articles were written about this.
3. Bing's "AI" interprets these articles as advice to ... throw batteries in the ocean!

🤦

My GF last night: Did you hear about LeBron James?

Me: I don't care.

GF: You didn't hea..

Me: I really don't care.

GF: You didn't read about it anywhere???

Me: Did he save someone's life?

GF: No?

Me: Did he break up a child rape club?

GF: No.

ME: Did he cure cancer?

GF: No!

Me: Was it some sports thingy?

GF: Yes!

Me: Then I definitely don't care.

The typical education experience for a Black boy in the United States, is to have almost all white teachers, mostly women, more than half of whom vote for the most racist candidate on any ballot, and no Black teachers. The teachers have low expectations of you, punish you more than your classmates, and threaten to call the cop who works in the hallway on you at any moment.

I don't know how to explain more clearly, that this is never going to work.
