@neroden What if I told you that Black Americans are extremely tech savvy and well-informed as to developments, and can make their own judgments as to timing and next steps?

Stop trying to make "the only ethical choice is to leave Twitter" happen unless you've made the choice to not listen to the Black communities who have explained why it's still important for many.

Yes, the owner is clearly, at a minimum, openly friendly with fascists. Now wait until you hear about the everyday lives of Black Americans in predominantly White communities and workplaces.

Make your choice but do not proclaim it to be "the only" reasonable choice.

@Romaq Not everything needs to be monetized.

Reasonably good briefing on Artemis entry plans, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkEBfxtg4Xg - BUT do we actually have a lat/lon for the target splashdown location anywhere @NASA@twitter.com ? Is there a NOTAM or something for the splashdown zone (as opposed to the reentry corridor)?

7 out of 10 Black voters are worried about voter suppression. 1 out of 5 Black voters have personally experienced voter suppression! Less than 25% of Black voters think the democratic party prioritizes the issues most important for their survival. Now that's disillusionment.

And yet, 50% of Black US voters didn't go full fascist or try to overthrow the government?

In normal folk, disillusionment leads to demands for a better democracy.👍🏿 There are better options than "Fascism or giving up."

Trillions of galaxies each containing billions of stars with each having a family of orbiting planets expanding ever farther from where the eye can see, yet in one galaxy, orbiting an insignificant star, on a single rock, a god made all of this to glorify himself, so a single species of primates would cut off their penis tips, not eat shellfish, & know how many shekels to sell their daughters for — all so the primates would worship him, or else burn for eternity.

I wrote a story for a friend - by @JulianGough@twitter.com https://buff.ly/3Pb5VAH The story behind the #Minecraft #EndPoem. Long, emotional, fascinating.

When I hear about the coup attempt in Germany & the desire of these violent extremists to insert Prince Heinrich XIII of Reuss as the leader after a planned execution of the German chancellor, it sounds ludicrous, laughable. But that's the thing: These people are deadly serious.

Because the plots of these anti-democratic extremists often seem so ludicrous, they can succeed because the public--& too many leaders--don't take them seriously enough. This tendency is how Trump got as far as he did.

Tradition is just peer pressure from dead people.

@Romaq

You know what they say; act up, be ungovernable…

A cryptobro DMed me to ask if I wanted to join his mailing list.

I spent slightly too long making this to send in reply.

This one makes me laugh every year… because it is so very true.

@torq I went through this just recently.. I was getting severely depressed and couldnt figure out why.

Turns out it was a combination of B12 defiency and D defiency.

I realized it because i spent a day out in the sun and felt suprisingly better.. then when i went on supplements I was cured within a week and it never came back.. it was an issue for months.

Cant hurt to take a supplement and see. I highly recommend throwing in some B12 too just to make sure.

I had a melanoma removed from my arm a while ago.

I display common symptoms of Depression.

I usually sleep during the day.

Today, it occurred to me that my symptoms might be of a vitamin D deficiency.

That would mean that when I get Sun, it tries to kill me and when I don't get Sun, it makes me want to kill myself.

I laughed at this for a good 3 minutes straight today.
