Biden's too non compos mentis to be that racist. He'll stammer through calling someone a jive turkey coon and his spokesmilf will say he meant Martin Luther King and that'll be that.
We learned with #GamerGate, we learned with @lelandyee aka “Mister Gun Control no actually a gun runner”, the people screaming the loudest are the ones with the most to hide.

“#ComfortWomen?” Korea is a transnational sex trafficking hub for Asia.

@MissLane It was also because of Gamergate I first saw Mike Cernovich's posts. He wasn't as obvious a conman to me then as he is now, same with Milo whom I thought was a really entertaining guy.

Anyway, aside some of the douches within #Gamergate, the worst behavior and real harassment I saw was coming from the anti-GG side. It was then I got my first real taste of what SJWs are and how they operate.

@Eiregoat @josh well, they swatted MTG so they lost any chance they had that the GOP would ride to their rescue

It’s interesting that the biggest communication challenge facing Mastodon communities is explaining that it’s basically a protocol and a network of independent, interconnected servers, which is what the Web, e-mail, even DNS and most of the fundamental services we use on the internet are, and always were.
It just illustrates just how much ‘Big Tech’ proprietary social media platforms swallowed up and walled off, if it’s now difficult to explain what the internet actually is!

In fact the whole #fediverse seems to be doing well, despite the influx continuing at 100,000 people a day. Servers go brrr.

Article on Musk's cultural miscalculations 

Great article.

"Musk thinks he bought a tech company, but he’s actually bought a community of users, and that's where its value lies..."

So says Prof Paul Bernal - Professor of Information Technology Law at the University of East Anglia School of Law.

You have to train your mind to be stronger than your emotions or else you will lose yourself every time.

Fine, Java MIGHT be a good example of what a programming language should be like. But Java applications are good examples of what applications SHOULDN'T be like. #quotes #programming

Which #BookQuote (or #Quotes) in the #Discworld series make you laugh out loud whenever you read or hear it?! Let's start adding some #TerryPratchett style humor to everyone's feeds!

“You can't give her that!' she screamed. 'It's not safe!'
IT'S A SWORD, said the Hogfather. THEY'RE NOT MEANT TO BE SAFE.
'She's a child!' shouted Crumley.
IT'S EDUCATIONAL.
'What if she cuts herself?'
THAT WILL BE AN IMPORTANT LESSON.”

― Terry Pratchett, Hogfather

#Mental health practitioners and #meditation #gurus have long credited intentional #breathing with the ability to induce inner calm, but #scientists do not fully understand how the #brain is involved in the process.

I don't know exactly what a prayer is.

I do know how to pay attention,
how to fall down

into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass,

how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields,

which is what I have been doing all day.

Tell me, what else should I have done?

Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?

Tell me, what is it you plan to do

with your one wild and precious life?

—Mary Oliver
