You know, I guess I'm a bit angry that we've gone with "Mastodon is too complex for non-techy people to understand" because I'm about as non-techy as a millennial can get away with being and it only took me about as much effort as Twitter did

Ron DeSantis told his followers to “grab” Dr. Fauci and “chuck him across the Potomac.” Dr. Fauci is 81 years old. He was forced to hire his own security guards. It would be nice if the DOJ would hold DeSantis accountable for making explicit threats against a federal official.

Hear me out.
What if we JUST ALL BLOCK HIM this time?
No ragetweeting about him. No jokes about him. Just ignore his dumb ass. Radio silence. No amplification whatsoever.
Just let him fester with his cult, vote against him when the time comes, and leave him to rot.

This indicates that users are about to start to see a LOT MORE gross stuff on here.

Let's be clear. Eli Lilly should apologize for increasing the price of insulin by over 1,200% since 1996 to $275 while it costs less than $10 to manufacture. The inventors of insulin sold their patents in 1923 for $1 to save lives, not to make Eli Lilly's CEO obscenely rich.

Republican operative Nick Fuentes reacts to GOP failures in the midterm elections: “We need a dictatorship. We need to take control of the government and force the people to believe what we believe.” (from @RightWingWatch)

Thank goodness for Gen Z.
To my fellow Gen X-ers, WTF IS FUCKING WRONG WITH YOU?!? You’ve *personally* lived through Reagan, both Bushes, the Contract on America, the Tea Party, and Trump, and you STILL vote for the fucking Empire over the Rebellion? I hate all of you R voters.
One thing I know already.
If not for voters under 30 ... tonight WOULD have been a Red Wave.

May you never know the fear of having your human rights challenged every time there is an election, and may you never know the pain of watching loved ones vote against your right to exist fully, equally, and authentically. 🏳️🌈

The best kinds of #TheExpanse fan discussions – welcoming, passionate, sincere, silly* – have been growing on #Mastodon lately. It feels hopeful and vibrant to be part of this!
If you’d like to try it out in a well-run, fun instance with friends already waiting for you, DM me.

Before the next election, you might want to find a better way to poll anyone under the age of 30 since they would rather pick up a pinless grenade than a call from an unknown number.

This thread is now my standard for in-person conferences.
A week out from @bigbadcon. Here's our COVID report so far:
- 1 person tested positive on Saturday 10/29 (caught on the flight to the con). Quarantined immediately. Used contact tracing to alert attendees.
- 0 cases reported since then.
(1/7)

please don't fall for tumblr's revisionist history. they banned the tags of queer identities before because they were "pornographic", they deleted posts and banned users overnight due to the nsfw ban, including posts that weren't even porn. then recently they ran an ad campaign+

Everytime I hit a paywall on some respected journalism site and then simply don't read the article rather than subscrining, I think about how Fox, Breitbart, The Daily Mail, et al. never ever ever paywall their content. I think about this constantly.

To those being summarily (and, in many cases, illegally) fired from Twitter today, thank you for all the hard work you did creating and improving this site. My heart goes out to you. I encourage you to join forces and check local laws.
