My fucking father in law is gonna eat this shit up. We’re going out to his family gathering next weekend and my son has a really cute rainbow and pink outfit he’s been dying to show off. For context, this extended family has an ex-in law who came out as trans and whom they violently hate, so my kiddo won’t be exposed to them too much as he grow up. Alas, the old G-pa in law doesn’t have much longer so we gotta go hang out with peeps.

This shit is fucking BROKEN.

Its because they signed up for Twitter

Tbf, I’m an anarchist/antifascist (aka non-Trump voter), and I definitely have strong opinions on manhood. They just happen to be the opposite of what the MAGA nuts would believe.

Fuck yes!

Ive heard a handful of Christian leaders say things like, “I know its all gonna end in flames eventually, so I’m happy driving my massive SUV thank you very much”.

Assuming you’ll get captured before having to pay the consequences for climate breakdown, while knowing fully that your actions are causing the destruction of the world, should result in legally having all of your property confiscated and given to a refugee family.

Does this include Crimea or just territory seized since 2022?

I actually disagree - the glasses were kind of his thing…

I mean, tbf, he’s pretty racist himself

I literally just bought one yesterday for $100 😄

You can buy a cargo ebike for about $2500 (RadWagon 4).

I’m actually shocked and not shocked at the same time…

Perhaps the Democratic Party should understand that this is what happens when you campaign on social justice and then govern like a Republican from the early 2000s, and then adjust accordingly. For many on the left, the prospect of having a Republican president in 2024 may be less frightening than letting the center-right Democrats get bullied around by the GOP and Fox News for another 4 years while actively targeting/destroying actual progressive movements. I’m not necessarily saying I’m on that side of the fence myself, but the Dems have spent the last few years deeply undercutting a lot of the progressive base that got Biden across the finish line and into the White House.

Remember when Windows 10 was “the last operating system”?

This is the point at which the left-wing in France needs to step the fuck up and convince the centrists that the best way to beat the Nazis is not to vote for Diet Nazi.

Not to be an asshole but I feel like he’s been crystal clear the entire time about his anti-LGBTQ crusade.

It doesn’t do algorithmic recommendations like GoodReads or Storygraph. Its much more of a feed-based system of finding books via observing what others are reading. It takes some work to curate a following list that fits your tastes, but if you go to your favorite books and actually follow the people who feel similar to you, then over time you will start to get some wild recommendations by seeing the stuff they are picking up or marking as “to read”. I much prefer it to algorithmic recommendations because it adds a human level of complexity - for instance, an algo isnt going to recommend a book that was published 40 years ago that has almost 0 online data about itself, but a person I really respect could say its one of their all-time favorites and now I have a new book that I literally never would have heard about anywhere else except for that one person.

To be honest, I freaking love bookwyrm so much. One of my favorite ways to burn time online is to find books that come across my feed that are missing info like cover art, description, etc. and to fill it all in. I’ve spent hours doing this and it feels so cool, like I’m actually part of maintaining the system.

Also, Ive found that the people on Bookwyrm tend to like books that I really love that are also potentially kind of niche, so Ive found a lot of really great book recommendations that I never would have found from Goodreads or an algorithm.

I’m curious what/if any info can be retrieved from Matrix servers?

I really hope that we’ll be able to maintain a strong resistance and fortification against Meta taking over the fediverse.
