My reason for moving: When Trump got in, I said to Mr. Laffy, "He'll now have the courts. We can't overcome a lot of that." This is what I was referring to:
#BREAKING: #SCOTUS upholds #SouthCarolina's congressional map, reversing a lower court decision that struck down the map for racial gerrymandering.
@GottaLaff It would be good see Dems gain a large majority in the House and Senate so they can impeach justices like Alito or amend the Constitution to create term limits subject to recall for misconduct. If and when that will happen, I have no idea. If Trump is elected again I suspect never.
@kkffoo@actuallyautistic@callunavulgaris well that was a productive ‘minute’. The ease with which this has slotted into my worldview and provided a lot of clarity about things that had previously been confusing is a bit unsettling.
@joshourisman@callunavulgaris@kkffoo@actuallyautistic .
yeah. Evolution isn't catching on, they don't worry about tomorrow or something.

There was a word I learned in #TheDawnofEverything , "actuarial," an adjective that refers to the sort of knowledge of what sort of a society or a world you create with your actions and your policies, and they described the culture shock for the Turtle Islanders when the Euros arrived without it. 😬
@TCatInReality@GottaLaff Democrats need to realize that it’s not on the voters. If Biden can’t convince people to come out vote for him over a 3rd party candidate that loss will be on him alone.
@SailorDisco@TCatInReality No, not on him alone. There's all kinds of things working against him that are out of his control. It is NOT his fault and his alone.
I swear I planned to only drop off books to the #LittleFreeLibrary, but I decided if I brought this one home with me, that would free up space for one more book to go into the library :) @bookstodon
Hey everyone! My good friend is up for Supermom of the year! Please read about her and vote! She's been through hell, she really needs this. Please? 💞💞💞🥹🥹🥹 #BlackMastodon
@sneezecat@horror I tried listening to one of theirs once but I couldn't get into it. Might have just been the mood I was in, I'll have to try one again at some point.
@stina_marie@horror I don't recommend getting into #MBMBaM from episode 1. The boys still had a lot of growing up to do and their earliest stuff leaned into 2010s "edgy" humor. On the other hand, it's been really cool to see how they've matured and become better allies while remaining funny. If the absurdity of MBMBaM isn't for you, I think #Sawbones with Sydnee and Justin is an excellent, funny, and educational show.
Boek 51 van 2024: “De boekwinkel aan het eind van de wereld” door Ruth Shaw. Levensverhaal van een Nieuw-Zeelandse vrouw die na veel omzwervingen op haar oude dag 3 mini-boekwinkeltjes is begonnen. #boeken#lezen@boeken
The Trumpers are now going for the jugular in attacking the great 1965 precedent on which nearly all federal rights of privacy and personal autonomy depend, Griswold v. Connecticut, 381 U.S. 479, upholding the right to use #contraceptives when having sexual relations.
Technically they're not eating the jelly. These very small fish are actually filter feeders, getting their nutrients from plankton that lives in the jelly. Next time you eat jelly, look really closely and you might just be able to see them.
