    RE: https://newsie.social/@servelan/117060815746723974 Any equipment put on Greenland&#39;s soil by that company should be seized by locals. Any person entering the country from that company should be arrested. Greenland should not put up with this &quot;we can do whatever we want&quot; shit from the orange stain and his disgusting allies.

    Whatever happened to Neil Gaiman? Here&#39;s one view, and it&#39;s terrifying if it is true (warning, substack (I know, I know) and lots of parts, not just one article): https://technopathology.substack.com/p/neil-gaiman-is-innocent-introduction

    RE: https://mstdn.social/@DemocracyMattersALot/117016758070476378 I am strongly in support of having the same number of Supreme Court justices as we have district courts - with an additional seat if there is an even number. I&#39;m also now in favor of having term limits on justices.

    So, Riot Games figured out that people can work remotely and it makes the business better? Why can&#39;t other companies figure it out? https://www.seattletimes.com/business/how-one-la-company-ditched-rigid-office-mandates-and-got-workers-back/

    Okay... so, if they were claiming they didn&#39;t need a warrant because he hadn&#39;t entered the US yet, then why would a &quot;rarely-used statute&quot; apply to him giving a duress password that wipes his phone? He wasn&#39;t in the US, so US laws don&#39;t apply, right? That&#39;s what they already argued. The whole thing is bull. https://www.theverge.com/policy/971097/us-charging-american-citizen-wiping-phone-duress-password

    RE: https://mastodon.social/@fesshole/116982704136486455 I wish I could get feedback on my writing without paying somebody for it... but I&#39;m used to disappointment. When I worked in the English department at college, I read one of the professor&#39;s fiction books, and wrote a little note about how much I enjoyed it and put it in her mailbox. She came to the office while I was working to thank me. Authors CRAVE feedback. Even just acknowledgment. I&#39;ve taken to leaving comments on AO3...

    Alright, question for the men out there... what&amp;#39;s a really good safety razor for keeping my man clean-shaven and smooooooooooth (on his face, he said I should mention that)? I want to get him a nice high quality one with replaceable blades. Please boost to folks who might have good answers. I want to get something great for him. (His most recent electric razor just gave up the ghost, and he&amp;#39;s been using cheap disposable blades - and getting a better shave)

    This. Without somebody telling me, I really wouldn&amp;#39;t have known. Sorry to any of my friends on mastodon.social... that&amp;#39;s just the nature of the fediverse. The rest of us can carry on while your server gets fixed. The only reason it&amp;#39;s &amp;quot;news&amp;quot; is because it&amp;#39;s such a large server.

    So... the administration is trying to punish women who take their husband&amp;#39;s names when they get married. So the &amp;quot;SAVE&amp;quot; act is an effort to discourage women from taking their husband&amp;#39;s name... at least, that&amp;#39;s they way you need to frame this when talking to conservatives. https://azmirror.com/2026/04/09/repub/how-trumps-save-america-act-could-make-it-harder-for-married-women-to-vote/

    The thing I like about doomscrolling on Mastodon is that I get the news I feel I need to get - but in between there are photos of cats, moss, and beautiful old trees, discussion of repairing and reupholstering old chairs, lockpicking discussions, out of context comic book panels, various pieces of artwork, really horrible dad jokes, and sometimes just surreal stuff that makes me smile. So, yeah, you all are keeping me sane. Keep it up.

    #Introduction I&amp;#39;m a writer living in south central Washington state. I have some minor writing credits and was a reporter for a time. I have considered myself a writer since I was a small child. I&amp;#39;m a fangirl with lots of loves. I am not an &amp;quot;us versus them&amp;quot; type of fan. My fandom is inclusive, not exclusive. I have lupus, and am still learning how to manage it. My hubby is a major Wizard of Oz fan. We met due to our shared love of Doctor Who.

    Well, a civilization died tonight. It was ours. Congress didn&amp;#39;t step up and stop him. No one in power invoked the 25th Amendment to remove him. We failed, utterly, as a civilization.

    Artemis is behind the moon. This is the point in the Doctor Who episode when the Doctor shows up, saves them from some disaster, and then vanishes - all in less than 45 minutes.

    RE: https://mastodon.world/@BrianJopek/116359840417242741 Absolutely appropriate. Swearing on the Constitution - an oath to uphold the Constitution - should be the standard. Anyone who thinks that is a bad thing should have nothing to do with governing other people.

    The thing I love most about listening to the coverage of the Moon trip https://www.youtube.com/live/m3kR2KK8TEs is the sheer excitement of the scientists and the absolute professionalism mixed with joy of everyone involved. We constantly see the worst of humanity in the news. This coverage is the best of humanity on display.

    Just an unfinished thought I&amp;#39;m trying to work through... Read something about divorce and the way conservative men hate no-fault divorce. But without it, abused women live awful lives - or their horrible husbands end up dying mysteriously. I then wondered if the rate of horrible men dying has gone dramatically down since no-fault divorce became a thing. So, did women being able to get away from abusers mean more abusers survive to abuse others? Maybe I&amp;#39;ll leave this thought un...

    The interesting thing about ICE agents being deployed to airports is that the Epstein Files still haven&amp;#39;t been fully released as required by law. And too many of the perverts mentioned in the Epstein Files are still being allowed to participate in society, instead of sitting in prison where they belong.

    Schumer is selling out the American people once again. Giving ICE any money at all is wrong. Even evil. No more funding for the DHS. Abolish ICE and prosecute all the thugs involved in it. Remove all fascists from all government positions and prosecute all who participated in criminal activity. Help all victims of ICE, and compensate everyone they hurt. We need leadership that doesn&#39;t coddle pedophiles and fascists. Schumer needs to go.
