@carolleisa@mastodon.social No, that's a completely imaginary category of person. Graham was an unreconstructed Southern planter, plain and simple.

@dheepsinque@susanklopfertruth.com Or the city could just send someone round to take down the cameras, and if Flock doesn't like it too bad. They only had permission to put those in public spaces while the contract was active. Now it's over, if they aren't taking the cameras down they got no complaint coming if the city does.

@apLundell@timeloop.cafe @Taweret@timeloop.cafe There was a sci-fi book published early this century, set around now, which has a character saying to another "Have you ever heard of that old show "Dr. Who"? My parents were big fans".

@mttaggart@infosec.exchange The SNAFU Principle in full flower.

@_thegeoff@mastodon.social English contains more loan words than originals, but saucisse has never been one of them.

@_thegeoff@mastodon.social Saucisse is indeed related, being French for sausage, but it's not an English word and never has been, no matter what Johnson said

@ChrisMayLA6@mastodon.me.uk they're serving the purpose they were created for, that's working. Anyone who believed they were ever meant for anything else is frankly too gullible to live in tbe world today

I'm so sick of slop zombies infesting every hobby

@geekysteven@beige.party Also Americans arw actively misinformed about what political and economic terminology mean, which has led to most Americans being incapable of anything resembling a coherent political philosophy.

@Strandjunker@mstdn.social Why do you care more about war criminals than their victims?

@beecycling@wandering.shop Partially, yeah. Also the actual arrest was a complete clown show and the defense keeps saying this or that piece of evidence isn't valid (correctly, even if one assumes thay any evidence touched by police is valid and that they regularly tell the truth), so that slows things down too. Also (I can't prove this part), the Powers that Be know they can't possibly convict in anything that can pass for a fair trial, and are afraid of the outcomes of him getting off and him getting blatantly railroaded.

#dogsofmastodon A picture of our pupper and his late rat pal:

@hewer_of_code@mstdn.ca The US has absolutely no loyalty to anyone, ever.

Just reminding folks that some of us have been pointing out all along where this was going, and how much of it was already there in 2015, and in 2000, etc. and a lotta folks said we were stupid commies who didn't understand AmeriFreedom and none of that would ever happen. Anyone who was one of those folks would do well to pay more attention in future.

@connynasch@mastodon.social @blogdiva@mastodon.social No, leftists have been crushed by the US government since always, this isn't new. "Land of the free" is propaganda and always has been

@McSquank@zirk.us I've never actually played on the standard map.

@McSquank@zirk.us @Taweret@timeloop.cafe You don't start a new save when an update drops? I gotta check out the new farm map.

@emilymbender@dair-community.social Except that it's also not useful. Everything it's supposedly useful for it actually turns out to be terrible at.

@QasimRashid@mastodon.social These guys have a lot of nerve complaining about trans kids using chosen names too

@huntingdon@mstdn.social @GrimmReality@beige.party and for decent people, white supremacists are in the second category.

@crazyeddie@mastodon.social @GrimmReality@beige.party Why are you waking Lindsey Graham, is the question. When your dear old grandad goes on to his final reward, you don't mention how much he liked a tipple. When a mass-murdering fascist dies, you say "Good, now he won't destroy any more lives".

“Whether we turn to the declarations of the past, or to the professions of the present, the conduct of the nation seems equally hideous and revolting. America is false to the past, false to the present, and solemnly binds herself to be false to the future.” -Frederick Douglass

@jf_718@mas.to @blogdiva@mastodon.social The thing is "center-left" isn't really a meaningful position. Leftists are opposed to capitalism. People who want capitalism maintained aren't anywhere on the left, regardless of their feelings about bigotry or infrastructure. Progressives want rainbow capitalism with infrastructure, but they're still on the side of capitalism, which is to say the side of fascism.
