In my head Rachel Brosnahan is related to Pierce Brosnan and nothing you can say will persuade me otherwise
Also what is a Brosnan and why must we pierce it? 😎
Critically I also hadn't ever seen the last 10 minutes of the film. Which is lovely.
@TheBreadmonkey The Supergirl cameo is one of my favorite things in the movie. (Haven’t seen her film yet, but I plan to).

in the last 5ish years i've seen a pivot from "Terrorism is the reason we need people with automatic rifles at airports and cameras everywhere spying on you" to "Terrorism is a word that means doing anything for political reasons other than voting. in a democracy, you vote. politics is voting. everything else, like protesting or direct action or even publishing the wrong thing, is Terrorism. you must only vote, that is all that is allowed"
@GeePawHill @RebelGeek99 I have a little diagram depicting the nuances between "my exact side/position" and "my mortal enemy, who works to ensure the death of the planet and everyone on it"

@wilbr @RebelGeek99 Would a "mortal enemy" mean someone you would kill or whose death you'd advocate for?

Texas has suspended over 1.2 million voter registrations. Many valid voters in Texas have found their voter registrations were somehow canceled when they checked. Check your registration here and fix it immediately - Texas doesn't always honor provisional ballots cast on election day.

Journalists: If you parroted off the "AI might become so powerfully super-intelligent that it could kill humanity" myth
And you didn't indicate with equal or greater prominence that this is almost certainly nothing more than an intentional falsehood on the part of AI makers to redirect the discussion of AI's harms directly into the realm of sci-fi
You failed as a journalist
You didn't do your job
You wrote a sci-fi, not journalism

Xylitol is the sweetener.
"A common sweetener used in products such as chewing gum, toothpaste, jam, yoghurts and ice-cream has been linked to an increased risk of strokes, heart attacks and death."

@GeePawHill @RebelGeek99 mmm, I'm gonna disagree there. I've been meditating in a zen center for a few years now and even that Zen teacher would probably remind me that pouring love and empathy into someone who would turn around and vote for my home to be destroyed may be a little misguided.
Radical compassion, yes, but the stated examples are the kind of thing often presented as "minor differences" which are in fact just more-politically-correct death and destruction. That's not "agree with."

🏛️ Government websites can change or disappear overnight, taking public records with them. 🕳️ That’s why libraries have collaborated on the End of Term Web Archive since 2004, preserving U.S. government websites at every presidential transition.
📚 The latest crawl captured petabytes of material, including 2 million videos.
The End of Term Web Archive is Democracy’s Library in action.
@internetarchive where are the copies being hosted? Outside the US jurisdiction?
@RebelGeek99 @wilbr If you try the radical choice I mentioned, you might find that it's much less important to know that.

@ntnsndr you hear what you're saying, right? (Said with affection)
@Matt_Noyes I wish that the business had the values embedded in its structure, as cooperatives attempt to do. But the history of capitalism (e.g., Turner, From Counterculture to Cyberculture) is full of co-opted communes. I would like to see cooperatives that are less fragile and less co-optable.

It's Friday! Woohoo!
I'm going to be honest, the thought that "the Friday Dancers could honour the memory of Dolly Parton & Tim Curry in one sparkly extravaganza" might not have lived up to its potential, but please believe me when I say the intention was a good one.
Here's to being kind, generous, finding out who you are, and doing it on purpose.
With apologies for not having managed to move on to the pelvic thrust that really drive you insane - time was running short & the file was getting big.
As ever, have a good weekend if you possibly can 
Everyone deserves to be free. But some people deserve to be freed last.
