The thing about Mastodon for influencers is... you don't even have to leave Twitter. Just post to both.

If enough people get into that habit, it makes the transition much easier for everyone.

It blows my mind that places like the transit systems that were on Twitter haven't migrated over to their own Mastodon server. They're not that hard to set up, and there's so little risk when you just don't accept public signups on your domain.

So you don't know your history.

Now I know your social security number. You fool!

999,999,999

I just use the android "find my phone" thing. It'll ring at max volume even if it's on silent.

I think he should have started jailing congressmen until they agreed to make a law overturning the immunity decision.

But that can "make things worse" in the same way these pardons did. And they were extremely aware of that.

There's no winning in this scenario. The people voted against the rule of law. It's easy to sit on the sidelines and criticize, but what are they supposed to do about it? Perform a coup against the will of the people? It's doing the same damn thing we were just trying to stop.

I think if the US isn't involved at all, there's still genocide in that region, one way or another. Maybe it takes longer.

I'd still rather we didn't directly support it. I think it's partly because we have too much AIPAC in our politics. I just don't think we're the cause.

It looked reasonable on the surface, largely because of the "factual" claims he made. But as soon as you start peeking into the publicly available numbers, it falls apart. He said 11% bullet ballots in NC. It was around 2.2%. That's the one I verified myself.

In North Carolina, which saw 11% of votes for Trump cast as bullet votes.

NC had 5.67m presidential votes. NC had 5.54m gubernatorial votes. A difference of 128k. 128k/5.67m = 2.257%

I checked a couple other NC races as well. It doesn't get close. Not to mention places like NYC went more red too. Do we think they cheated in NYC too? Did they cheat literally everywhere?

Of course the bullet ballot guy makes the claim that the swing states and the surrounding states are different, but they really weren't. His numbers are just lies.

If anything, this is a distraction from something else.

AOC's district went more heavily towards Trump. It was everywhere, not just saying states or key districts.

That was complete bullshit. The numbers didn't check out. The "only swing state" thing wasn't true and it was pretty easy to verify.

No. They're aware that if the Republican spend billions and the Democrats spend millions that they'll never win a big election again.

It's not a problem that can be solved by the Democrats just giving up money.

The law isn't being enforced. TikTok can just put it back up tomorrow and imply it was Trump that did it.

Would really like more rail. It's the only reason I'm a bit nimby about apartments, too many cars on the road.

I'll take a look. And yeah, the intention was the opposite, to poke pinholes into those crazy, reality-denying philosophies.

everyone feel as though they are on the right side of the distribution and thus superior.

Yes, I certainly am.

Until it comes to fixing something with my hands. Run a new cable through the wall? How the hell do I do that? You can just... make a new wall? Help, my car no go.

There are generally nonverbal cues, yes. If you're unsure, then asking is better.

Yeah, I was about to say they're sure gonna be disappointed when they find out the details of the "stopping gender reassignment surgeries on children" details.

Yeah, make sure it's .gov. Don't go through a middle man that does the same thing while charging a fee.
