Last Notes npub1lg7m2elftujl79pmttfghl0d5gllagqq6fln3uzjlfu9wxtk3n5qp85m7w BlueDot🇺🇦 I'm looking for a #COVID cautious #orthopedic surgery practice. And by cautious, I mean I won't catch COVID from a waiting room full of unmasked people, or from unmasked doctors and nurses. Location doesn't matter. Anywhere in the contiguous USA will do. Kindly boost for reach. #CovidIsNotOver npub1lg7m2elftujl79pmttfghl0d5gllagqq6fln3uzjlfu9wxtk3n5qp85m7w BlueDot🇺🇦 Sometimes she is just not a team player. #Caturday https://cdn.masto.host/lefttuskcom/media_attachments/files/113/056/808/041/771/088/original/b593cd6efbdbe22f.jpg npub1lg7m2elftujl79pmttfghl0d5gllagqq6fln3uzjlfu9wxtk3n5qp85m7w BlueDot🇺🇦 The New York Times felt like they needed to quote a Biden voter who was switching to Trump. So they quoted the famous criminal who put a human finger in her chili. Seems like a good time to start ignoring the Times. #NYT https://boingboing.net/2024/07/26/the-new-york-times-pro-trump-democrat-voter-turns-out-to-the-famed-fraudster-who-put-a-severed-finger-in-her-chili.html npub1lg7m2elftujl79pmttfghl0d5gllagqq6fln3uzjlfu9wxtk3n5qp85m7w BlueDot🇺🇦 Trump seems to think it's important that he was shot---not injured when he was shot AT, but shot. If there were anything to confirm that in his medical records, he would have released them to the public. Hell, it would be on a t-shirt by now. But he hasn't released any such record. We can only conclude that he wasn't struck by the bullet, and that this is just one more self-aggrandizing Trump lie. npub1lg7m2elftujl79pmttfghl0d5gllagqq6fln3uzjlfu9wxtk3n5qp85m7w BlueDot🇺🇦 It was 20 years ago today that an alley cat dropped a litter of kittens in my sister-in-law's basement. This knucklehead is one of them. #Caturday #CatsOfMastodon #Cats https://cdn.masto.host/lefttuskcom/media_attachments/files/112/622/517/243/298/913/original/a7ed06a6fdec8c1d.jpeg https://cdn.masto.host/lefttuskcom/media_attachments/files/112/622/520/187/395/952/original/5b6fef1fefdd1598.jpeg npub1lg7m2elftujl79pmttfghl0d5gllagqq6fln3uzjlfu9wxtk3n5qp85m7w BlueDot🇺🇦 I have yet to see any Democrat saying that the trial of #Hunter Biden was rigged, that he shouldn't have been prosecuted because his father is POTUS, or that what he did wasn't actually a crime. I have yet to see any Democrat saying that the judge had some kind of conflict of interest, or that the judge can't be impartial because of where he was born. npub1lg7m2elftujl79pmttfghl0d5gllagqq6fln3uzjlfu9wxtk3n5qp85m7w BlueDot🇺🇦 All of the people saying the 2024 #election is rigged, before it happens, are telling us they won't accept the election results if they lose. The most basic rule in #democracy is majority rule, that is, we accept as valid the election of the leader who got the most votes. The people who think that's conditional or negotiable, are just against democracy. They won't say so. But we must. npub1lg7m2elftujl79pmttfghl0d5gllagqq6fln3uzjlfu9wxtk3n5qp85m7w BlueDot🇺🇦 @npub1jdw…awld This is huge, considering the fact that transplant programs are typically the biggest money maker in a hospital system. npub1lg7m2elftujl79pmttfghl0d5gllagqq6fln3uzjlfu9wxtk3n5qp85m7w BlueDot🇺🇦 @npub16xr…qzyf There are also vinyl gloves. npub1lg7m2elftujl79pmttfghl0d5gllagqq6fln3uzjlfu9wxtk3n5qp85m7w BlueDot🇺🇦 @npub147c…27uk Thanks for this! Most admins block the entire bae.st instance. I found out about it on hashtag FediBlock. npub1lg7m2elftujl79pmttfghl0d5gllagqq6fln3uzjlfu9wxtk3n5qp85m7w BlueDot🇺🇦 @npub1jdw…awld It seems wrong that the drug company gets to decide whether to continue selling a drug that's not effective. The FDA should be empowered to pull the drug off the market unilaterally. npub1lg7m2elftujl79pmttfghl0d5gllagqq6fln3uzjlfu9wxtk3n5qp85m7w BlueDot🇺🇦 @npub1gmx…atcq @npub1sxa…vlxh @npub19v5…gr2x I have objected when Republican pols diagnose people from a distance for political gain, whether it's Terry Schiavo or Joe Biden. So just on general principles, I don't think people should be diagnosing Trump from a distance. Maybe he's demented, maybe he's self medicating, maybe he's just an asshole who doesn't think your name is important. But specifically about Trump, let's not offer him an mental-defect defense for free. npub1lg7m2elftujl79pmttfghl0d5gllagqq6fln3uzjlfu9wxtk3n5qp85m7w BlueDot🇺🇦 As others have said before me: An innocent person wants a speedy trial to clear their name. #Trump wants to delay his trials as long as possible. Because he wants the eventual outcome to be decided by #propaganda in the media, rather than by facts in a court of law. npub1lg7m2elftujl79pmttfghl0d5gllagqq6fln3uzjlfu9wxtk3n5qp85m7w BlueDot🇺🇦 @npub1gwr…t50g The #racism from qoto.org was already a sufficient reason to suspend it. This link has a screenshot of the admin explicitly saying he won't ban users for racism. https://social.pixie.town/@joepie91/109433103633543373 The Gish Gallop we're seeing now just underlines what a good decision that was. #FediBlock npub1lg7m2elftujl79pmttfghl0d5gllagqq6fln3uzjlfu9wxtk3n5qp85m7w BlueDot🇺🇦 @npub16xr…qzyf And I heard about them yesterday, only because there were questions about them on Jeopardy! npub1lg7m2elftujl79pmttfghl0d5gllagqq6fln3uzjlfu9wxtk3n5qp85m7w BlueDot🇺🇦 @npub1g53…v0hh Doesn't work for me in the web interface. Is this something that's implemented in one of the apps? or a new version of Mastodon? npub1lg7m2elftujl79pmttfghl0d5gllagqq6fln3uzjlfu9wxtk3n5qp85m7w BlueDot🇺🇦 @npub1uwt…p8lz Cannot boost this enough. The #Republican Party is composed of #fascists, and people willing to put #fascists in power. The important difference between those two groups is...there is no important difference. npub1lg7m2elftujl79pmttfghl0d5gllagqq6fln3uzjlfu9wxtk3n5qp85m7w BlueDot🇺🇦 @npub1kfq…wrn0 I'm jealous; your cat knows how to kill a mouse. npub1lg7m2elftujl79pmttfghl0d5gllagqq6fln3uzjlfu9wxtk3n5qp85m7w BlueDot🇺🇦 @npub1edc…0q44 I don't think #NoLabels is entitled to the benefit of the doubt. Until proven otherwise, it should be presumed to be an elaborate dirty trick to benefit the #Republican Party. The obvious intent is to peel off enough Democratic votes to hand a key battleground states to Trump. It wouldn't take many: Biden's margin of victory was 44,000 votes in three states. https://left-tusk.com/@BlueDot/110249253626801632 We have to stop calling them "centrists" and call them fascist collaborators. npub1lg7m2elftujl79pmttfghl0d5gllagqq6fln3uzjlfu9wxtk3n5qp85m7w BlueDot🇺🇦 @npub1jup…77gr In other news, #fascist #collaborators are trying to rehabilitate their reputations, and the media are helping them do it. npub1lg7m2elftujl79pmttfghl0d5gllagqq6fln3uzjlfu9wxtk3n5qp85m7w BlueDot🇺🇦 @npub189n…satx I'm pretty sure this means "We had a meeting of the Board of Directors about how we can continue to make money for our shareholders after a fascist takeover, and we've decided to be collaborators. Also, fuck you all." npub1lg7m2elftujl79pmttfghl0d5gllagqq6fln3uzjlfu9wxtk3n5qp85m7w BlueDot🇺🇦 @npub1q47…h4cg Betamax would probably disagree. npub1lg7m2elftujl79pmttfghl0d5gllagqq6fln3uzjlfu9wxtk3n5qp85m7w BlueDot🇺🇦 #[0] #[1] #[2] Last time they seceded, they also started a war to take over the whole country. #[3] #[4] npub1lg7m2elftujl79pmttfghl0d5gllagqq6fln3uzjlfu9wxtk3n5qp85m7w BlueDot🇺🇦 #[0] Please elaborate on why Congress does not have the authority to reassign judges from the Supreme Court to lower courts (as a term limit scheme). Surely Congress has the power to enact statutes regulating courts, such as the financial disclosure law that Clarence Thomas has recently run afoul of, so where's the line? https://law-and-politics.online/@Teri_Kanefield/110180410788340930 npub1lg7m2elftujl79pmttfghl0d5gllagqq6fln3uzjlfu9wxtk3n5qp85m7w BlueDot🇺🇦 Of course #[0] is going to present himself as a martyr now that he's a criminal defendant. He's always presented himself as a victim, because one of the basic pillars of #[1] is that white men are under attack at all times. Prosecutors haven't made a bluder by allowing Trump to play the martyr. He was going to do it anyway. He was already doing it, and he always will. #[2] #[3] https://cdn.masto.host/lefttuskcom/media_attachments/files/110/147/184/912/254/609/original/ec6036dcfed17321.png npub1lg7m2elftujl79pmttfghl0d5gllagqq6fln3uzjlfu9wxtk3n5qp85m7w BlueDot🇺🇦 Call your representatives to oppose the RESTRICT Act. While it's described as a ban on #[0], the bill actually gives the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security authority to execute blanket bans on software and hardware. And using a #[1] to circumvent the ban could bring a fine of $1 million or 20 years in prison. https://www.msn.com/en-US/news/scienceandtechnology/new-restrict-act-could-mean--years-in-prison-for-using-a-vpn-to-access-banned-apps/ar-AA19exSd #[2] npub1lg7m2elftujl79pmttfghl0d5gllagqq6fln3uzjlfu9wxtk3n5qp85m7w BlueDot🇺🇦 This book is an evidence-based look at right wing authoritarian followers, the people who will march behind the next Mussolini (or already are doing so). It's packed full of sociological research about how right wing authoritarian followers think differently. (Spoiler: it's not stupidity.) And the book is free to read on the web. https://theauthoritarians.org/
