I can't even feel mad about them shooting at the air force jets because what else is supposed to happen.

Which I respect. npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb in DC, Trump ordered 6,000 people to march for his birthday. In #chicago, today 20,000 of us marched, for free, to tell him to fuck off. Glad we had the larger parade. npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb If you are in #Chicago and hate #ICE, there are two rallies tomorrow that you can go to (both downtown, in the loop). npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb Launching my #monsterdon thread for #ForbiddenPlanet! A movie that is reputed to be Very Good and a Classic and also the Antecedent to a lot of other scifi movies that came later. I think I watched it before, not sure if it left much of an impression on me, so excited to rewatch it and see if it does? npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb @nprofile…mpuw I haven't seen Dark Matter, but I had to just do the thing you mentioned and my guess is that it's set in "2257", around the same time Babylon 5 became operational. npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb I like the idea @nprofile…args suggested for a mastodon feed that shows you the last post from all of your mutuals, because I think I miss a lot of posts by people who just post at different times of day from me. npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb @nprofile…ms9m Slapping minimum 10% tariffs on everything and higher tariffs determined by... sigh... the trade deficit... a completely different number... is not a logical way to build up war industry or chipmaking. If that was the goal, he could tariff those particular industries instead. npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb I'm having trouble not giggling at how dumb these tariffs are. it's not like... a tariff to protect some new vital industry, like what industrializing countries do. it's just like... slapping random fees on random countries based on nonsense math. npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb how to mastodon, a guide by me: npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb this article by @nprofile…ptpv explains how #substack is a far-right project, backed by authoritarian tech billionaires in an attempt to dominate the media space and why you shouldn't use it for your blog. npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb @nprofile…args @nprofile…5weq There's an anime (Thermae Romae Nova) where an ancient Roman guy who designs bath houses gets sporadically teleported to and from a public bath in modern Japan. He's confused (shouting at people in Latin), but one of the other bath customers is really nice to him and hangs out with him, and he discovers commonalities between the Japanese baths and his own, and when he goes back to Rome he applies features from the future bath houses to his next designs. So same vibe. npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb @nprofile…dsla cue for Hercule Poirot to politely but irritably explain that he is Belgian, not French. npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb what if we did a trade war because we were stupid npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb @nprofile…t5r6 Are you imagining underground bed sheet tunnels, protected from the elements, or above ground blanket bed sheet tunnels, at risk of rain damage but easier to ventilate? npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb @nprofile…args One option would be to find an exposed rock wall and carve yourself some petroglyphs that, when translated, just describe all the different ant colonies on the island the things they do. npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb @nprofile…ppst a relevant #stolenMeme : npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb I started watching #StarTrekProdigy because I was sad Paramount tried to bury it and I think I've figured out the crew dynamic of the bumbling teenager space ship. npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb @npub1200…aqy2 sigh... ill find you a giant robot npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb protip: if you're about to be eaten by a werewolf, eat as much chocolate as quickly as you can, so if the werewolf eats you, it will die. npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb warning: grapes of wrath may transform into raisins of simmering resentment npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb @npub1sac…apc0 no youtube you are giving bad advice again please stop youtube npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb Mastodon Protip: npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb I'm making up a fantasy world that is always cloudy but still earth-like, sort of like how Venus was imagined by planetary romance writers before science revealed it to be a carbon dioxide powered oven. npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb @npub1gfd…7gg6 I don't really get why chrome is winning since it's not really all that exciting. npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb Imagine that you found a photo gallery on the internet where each photograph is from a different reality. npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb @npub1k04…mwld Thank you tiny kitten for this doomscrolling reprieve. I leave this large rat as an offering. npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb @npub1mdk…aptk oh I didn't realize that. Snark aside, I can see where they're coming from... it just seems a very longterm goal at best. npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb @npub1mdk…aptk with that added context, I'm gonna assume that "seize the means of twittery" was an intermediate step toward bringing peace and justice to Israel/Palestine, somehow. npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb @npub1mdk…aptk but like even if that's right how would we even take control of it? npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb @npub14cq…k7mw hooray! we shall dance the dance of jubilation upon its corpse and hope that the now vacant offices get turned into more flats or something. npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb @npub102v…jtrj the vibes do indeed seem to be off; I'm not sure if there's anyway to flee to though. npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb @npub1zdp…vqv8 @npub138x…pcnq I offer this meme in support of this proposal: npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb @npub15x4…3p3l "inherently hierachical?" the man saying this runs corporations!!! npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb @npub1mdk…aptk I think the main drug he was high on is "money" npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb @npub15l7…aang It looks kind of like the Argos from Spelljammer, which is a blob monster that is covered with eyes and mouths... only this one has been molded into a tree. npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb @npub1200…aqy2 because google has decreed that you must subsidize self driving cars in exchange for internet npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb @npub1200…aqy2 Uh... I guess I could answer "Right" because it keeps physically spinning so that the sun keeps rising in the east. npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb @npub1evl…yenf I hate paying for streaming services that still insist on scraping my browser so that even more companies can send me targeted ads. npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb @npub1mdk…aptk four days of work at four hours each npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb @npub1mdk…aptk Probably they started at "one day off, at most" and so two seemed like a huge improvement. npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb @npub1nn8…8sed *elevator pitch voice* so imagine like pornhub... but for emotional validation! npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb @npub1zdp…vqv8 how far did the capybaras get? npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb @npub1zdp…vqv8 I actually got a reply from the Renegade Cut guy to my rambling message; he said he tried Mastodon in the past and didn't like it and isn't interested in trying it again. npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb @npub1zdp…vqv8 I just sent the renegade cut guy a weird rambling message on the tubes telling him that an ant scientist likes his videos and wants him to join mastodon, and rambling like a weirdo is the best I can do at promoting anything. npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb @npub1drf…e8x3 @npub1zdp…vqv8 I dunno; I love the doggos, but I'm not sure if I want to hear them talk for hours about the different types of rabbit poop smells. I would like to hear a human city described from a pigeon's point of view though. npub1t7gxhk75xmercntvdppt0qq42df3szxwf2l4de74n962d93u734sdxerqa Floaty Birb I found some more gofundmes for #trans people and relatives of trans people trying to escape US states with #transphobic laws. Some of these started as funds for hormones and top surgery that morphed into emergency evacuation funds.
