A lot of people are reluctantly supporting Biden but don't have any specific reasons to like him. There is a constant wail of how Dems barely hold the line while Reps actively destroy things. I think this narrative was correct for Clinton & Obama but is totally wrong for Biden. People don't see how different this government has been. Here is a thread of some of the things Biden's govt has done.

If someone sold a shirt that said

MASTODON
Just say no to enshittification

I'd probably buy one.

Just met someone IRL who said he'd been following me on BlueSky.

I am not on BlueSky.

(He later allowed that he used to be on Mastodon, so that might have been it.)

They say video games have no practical uses but I just stayed completely dry walking past a bunch of rotating sprinklers by watching the patterns >_>

Dr. Ruth “defended abortion rights, suggested older people have sex after a good night’s sleep and was an outspoken advocate of condom use. She believed in monogamy.

In the 1980s, she stood up for gay men at the height of the AIDS epidemic and spoke out loudly for the LGBTQ community.”

@inherentlee I actually had a transgender duck once! I had 4 ducks and a drake, the drake died, an within a couple of weeks, one of the ducks molted, grew drake feathers, and started quacking like a drake. And all the ducks immediately treated him like a drake! Ducks are cool like that.

The chicken makes a compelling argument...

Look, people:

If you think Biden should drop out, I do not think that you personally are an “op.”

If you think Biden should stay in, I do not think that you’re foolish or dooming us all.

I think this candidate selection is •always• fraught, a huge gamble, and our desperate need for certainty, for the future to be OK, is sending our feelings straight to 11 out of 10.

However we hash this moment out, we need to come out the other side shoulder to shoulder.

If Biden doesn't run in November, the Heritage Foundation and their allies will stage another Brooks Brothers Riot to keep the replacement Democrat candidate off the ballot in every state they can reach. They'll shop for Federalist Society judges and tie them up using procedural delays until after the election. The result will be a victory for Trump by default. If any cases *do* get to the supreme court, Clarence Thomas et al will rule in their own self-interest.

This is how you get a coup.

Is there anybody out there with the ability and willingness to make a Unity animation for Science (and safety education)? We're trying to get a character to do what you see at 2:00 here:

I couldn't find anything appropriate on Mixamo.

Where can Democrats find the most votes?

I realized that with Twitter declining, my timelines are somewhat devoid of infosec news (e.g., discussing latest CVEs of note).

Do I have #InfoSec peers who can recommend some follows?
