Nerdy guy with opinions, mostly that people should care about each other. Dad of two awesome young humans, sysadmin for the money, overly-distracted anime fan, baseball and hockey enjoyer. Pronouns in bio, deal with it. He/him.

This is never going to reach the right people, but I am sincerely appalled by the folks who can't or won't understand the difference between not wanting to boost a TERF podcast and not believing the women who spoke up about NG.

I live literally a mile from the burn area for the (current) most-destructive wildfire in Colorado. Two-and-a-half years later, you wouldn't know anything happened from how much stuff they were lighting off last night.

Yes and no. You've got at least one bona fide troll and their stans coming after you—incidentally the same one whose bashing of ace/demi folks somehow snowballed into the the mess that outed Kairi and shut down Aegis.

I'd take it as a personal favor from the gods if it happened in the next ten days. The RNC is in the same convention center where I work an anime con every year, and I've already made jokes about needing a ton of salt to purify the place after.

It's still possible to get useful information out of it, but it's certainly more work now than it's been in probably 25 years.

If you could bottle toddler giggles, they'd be heavily regulated and highly sought after.

The majority of video tutorials would be better as written instructions with some photos/screenshots, but we're all suffering from the choices of an industry that prioritized its own profit over a usable internet.

To be clear, it was an attempt at a snark, but I sincerely appreciate the correction on your part anyway.

They did. It was a one-letter change in the headline.

If anything, that makes the statement more true rather than less.

Looks that way. Stuff like that gets squashed pretty quickly around here if it's reported. (I had two Aaron Rupar impersonators follow me today, both of them less than 10 minutes old when they did, and both suspended within 10 minutes of my report.)

I am absolutely fucking done with people whining about exercises of power to stop the immediate bleeding being inadequate because they aren't The Ideal Longterm Solution. Holding out for The Ideal Longterm Solution while the fascists use the existing levers as a crowbar is what fucking got us here.

And there's a segment of the left that is all too willing to feed those doubts and then cry about "punching left" when called out.

Fake account just followed me, impersonating @atrupar.bsky.social. Reported and blocked, of course, but I thought some visibility might help.

If you're trying to place yourself in the latter category, I'm afraid it only serves to call out that both seem content to treat this as a no-stakes horse race, or to accept a single poll as evidence that this strategy will totes work.

The bot suggests fighting constitutional Calvinball with more constitutional Calvinball.

An appointed VP has to be confirmed by both chambers of Congress. Do you think one would even get a vote in the House?

It's not "punching left" to call people like this out as the useful dupes that they are.

Next you should call Merriam-Webster and demand they restore "gullible" to its rightful place in the dictionary.

It makes perfect sense to me. Pretty much no one in multi-family rentals has access to home charging.

if anyone needs at least a basic anti-transphobe modlist, my old one is still available. i am not adding to it anymore, but if someone wants to use this as a starting point for an active modlist or transphobia specific labeler they are welcome to:
