@drvolts he’s got a great beat, and you can dance to him!!
@jackiantonovich Great! Public health, emergency management received an explosion of CDC funding following 9/11 and the smallpox scare. Over time, funding was slowly choked off and by the time COVID-19 happened response infrastructure had collapsed. From a historical perspective, you could spend a lot of time comparing and contrasting the federal funding (and leadership or lack thereof) of public health emergency management and the corresponding outcomes for H1N1 and COVID-19.
@GaryRLundberg @tofugolem @RadicalWoman111 @antonioserrata@masto.ai This is exactly how you deal with little fascist punks. I love this!

Political strategist @RachelBitecofer over on #birdsite — haven’t seen her on Mastodon yet — believes the #MAGA #GOP should be mercilessly mocked for all their fascist-wannabe BS agitprop. Combining the mocking with stating truth. Sort of sounds like the direct opposite of GOP’s lies and incitement to division. Hakeem Jeffries just might be very adept at this.
@theremina On the bright side… kitty, cat pictures! Lots and lots of kitty cat pictures!
@steventdennis Newspeak.
It's the train wreck you are forced to watch. The is war crime adjacent. If we can't put these egomaniacs in prison, can we at least tax them the fuck out of existence?

This guy is a monster. Needs to be taxed out of existence.

Ouch! I give!
Maria Ressa is a feisty gem. She has a lot to say and is unflinching about social media.

@Dahlialith Isn’t the Alito drivel kinda workplace harassment? That is some creepy stuff.
I've been thinking a lot about Twitter and failure lately. And the absurdist Gladiator spectacle that we're all watching. I decided to turn it into a blog post: https://zephoria.medium.com/what-if-failure-is-the-plan-2f219ea1cd62

…this bold move will be followed up with cookies, milk, and a brief nap. Once sleepytime is over, they’ll have a joint meeting with house and senate republicans to compete in a spelling contest reviewing all of the big words they learned that day. The smart money is on Ted Cruz, but if Herschel Walker wins in Georgia, all bets are off. After that? Recess! Yaaaaay! We can get to the easy stuff after lunch! Yaaay!
