@therobburgessshow The media are to blame, for encouraging people to think that politicians have to have larger than life personalities, instead of solid policies to benefit their people.
Those clowns don't have a people. They've forgotten they're supposed to be there to serve, not to rule.

My patience has been tried and tried again. Don't forget I've lived through dial-up connections.

I agree, this would also be good to have a cite post too, so the data collected could be for example.

Post content
person who posted + instance
date

so we can the cite mastodon posts in papers or articles

Not that I write either, but it would be really good to be able to cite stuff anyway. Especially as we are seeing more and more science people on here. lets make it science friendly.

Dammit Mastodon we need a quote-post function SO badly. Didn’t realise how important it is, but as a way to add context it’s unbeatable.

Waiting for someone to make an artisanal search engine that only indexes manually verified websites written by humans. Farm-to-table organic search results, handmade with 100% certified human creativity, like your grandparents told you about.

The latest episode of the Abandoned America podcast dropped today, and it's a wild one. In it I talk about the brief life and protracted death of the Six Flags New Orleans theme park with Jake Williams, director of the recent documentary about it, "Closed For Storm". If you want to know how a whole 220-acre theme park could be left in ruins for nearly a decade, here's your episode!

I woke up today without death threats for the first time in two weeks! The world is a safer place when Andy Ngo can't tweet.

I wonder how much talent we are losing by discriminating against and or dismissing groups of people based on race. People of all background should to be given equal chance to undertake and PUBLISH their research, should be about the actual research not the people behind it.

I’m very clear that the ONLY way to the supremacy, coercion, discrimination, and exploitation FREE future I seek is through an honest reckoning with current systems, institutions, and policies DESIGNED to privilege the few at the expense of the many…that the ONLY way out, is through 💛✊🏾

That is pretty awsome, could this be attributed to the size of Jupiter? Jupiter is large enough to trap any objects in to it's orbit, and capture new moons around it?

Joe Biden showed last night that he is more than capable of taking on the extremist GOP and even getting them to support bedrock earned entitlements like Social Security. What a masterful stroke that was! I'm proud to stand with him.

This seems to be a thing to do over here - hashtag stuff you’re interested in and pin the toot to your profile…

LOL, From what I am reading on here the state of the USA is 100 x worse. We are not banning books for example. Our police don't beat black people to death either.
