Last Notes npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc #SilentSunday npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc It's frustrating that the UK is trying to follow in the USA's political footsteps… npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc Many of those gravely asserting that the $200 million cost of rescuing one pilot was worth it because "every human life is worth saving” are the same as those who will routinely shout down calls for universal healthcare, improved public transportation, better food access, and environmental protections. Investments that would dramatically reduce mortality from a range of leading causes of death in the U.S. npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc Senate Democrats should not attend Trump’s State of the Union, and should instead place a photo of an Epstein survivor on each of their chairs. npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc It's been one of those days npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc I'm happy that "finally" the future many of us hoped for is arriving. npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc “A New Report Reveals the Real Reason Democrats Lost in 2024 npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc #SilentSunday npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc Senate passes "National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk" npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc Gosh, I was literally about to post this about Nepal npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc Sincere question (interested in your perspective): do you see any expectation of privacy at a gathering such as Kirk’s anyway? npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc #MAGA at the moment: npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc @npub1xw7…r9m5 is probably the best person to comment on this, but I'm not sure it's just that people "couldn't be bothered”. There was an epidemic of #ToxicIdealism spread perhaps primarily by the “G-n-c-d- Joe” brigade leading a non-trivial number to not vote as some sort of masochistic protest. npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc Who says #AI isn't useful for anything? npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc Oh, absolutely, I completely agree with her. npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc It's really difficult to discern delusion from gaslighting. npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc “Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.” npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc At what point does this legally become tyranny? npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc After the economic disaster of #Brexit, welcome news for the people of the UK who can now look forward to full and gainful employment teaching #Americans how to speak #English. npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc “All billionaires must submit a list of five things they did for society in the last week or their wealth shall be confiscated” npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc Land Shark will be a foster for a few days next week npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc Utter bollocks. npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc https://9to5mac.com/2025/01/09/tim-cook-says-los-angeles-wildfires-are-heartbreaking-apple-is-donating/ npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc Oh, gosh, I'm really sorry — that's wretched. npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc Absolutely. I'm quite sure that one of the main reasons many object to virtual meetings is that virtual tends to level the playing field — "some” can't dominate in one way or another as they might in person. npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc And for the sake of catharsis, a personal observation: npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc It may depend on how you define "well-structured”. 😊 npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc “Texas school district bans Bibles from its libraries, citing Republican-backed law” npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc "In 2021, Apple announced an on-device scanning system to identify and report users who stored known child sexual abuse material on their iCloud Photos accounts. … npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc If it's reasonable to view is as akin to universal basic income, there certainly have been many “experiments" npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc https://mastodon.social/@mmalc/113539023892234088 npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc Shhhh. npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc Indeed; this was some of the real election interference. npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc First, we clearly can't even count on each other to #WearAMask. npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc Someone should petition to have the bible moved to the fiction category. npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc Splendid. npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc #SilentSunday npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc “People are sicker, and while deaths from acute Covid infections are certainly down, the waves of sepsis, cardiovascular diseases and emergencies, cancer, and deaths from these and other long-term complications has become a predictable pattern in the wake of Covid surges. And yet, both society and a large majority of the medical industry like to uncouple these events or outright deny their association in spite of irrefutable evidence.” npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc Hopefully we’ll see swift application of the time-honoured legal maxim, ludi inepta ludi, praemia inepta vincite npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc “remote workers are capable of meeting their responsibilities while also doing healthy things and taking care of themselves” npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc @npub1z4k…g27u npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc “BREAKING: Email address linked to Tim Walz found on hardcore plumbing advice forum” npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc @npub1z4k…g27u npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc Thank you. npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc Major parties being corrupt though is an orthogonal issue; the question is how readily could another party gain ascendency. In the current US system it's well-nigh impossible. With other electoral systems the possibility is at least greater. The Australian system has a number of advantages over the US to make the government more representative of the people's preferences. npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc United Kingdom: “Hold my beer” npub1mvjkfru947tqk2hhdqk8r37swfx08t8ds9u9dmgzvw7hwz0vz5wsnu0tuw mmalc No, it's not "absolutely totally wrong”.
