It's a hundred times easier to fix a mechanical button than to fix a broken touchscreen or integrated circuit - and I'm understating.

To be fair, ADL isn't wrong at all in this Tweet. Broken-clock moment.

Meanwhile I'm doing some research into folding proteins (getting blood transfusions from British people to get CJD)

If Brian Thompson didn't deserve to die even though he caused thousands of families to suffer, then the people celebrating his death right now don't deserve to suffer either just because they're understandably angry.

'Opossum'. A lot of people mistakenly think the 'O' is silent. The misconception probably exists because there's an unrelated species in Australia called a Possum.

I'm a far-leftist who voted for Harris.

I fully sympathize with people who voted for Stein, but I wish she would have taken a firmer stance against Putin. Putin is unequivocally a war criminal, but Stein tried to dodge the question when she was asked about him directly.

I have to agree. I wonder where she started - did she always intend to grift, or did she "grow" into that position?

Also, while I chose to vote for Harris, I don't think it's productive to shame people who chose to either vote third party or abstain (not saying you did).

Nothing against Mastodon ethically, but it was complicated to use.

I honestly think a lot of people use blocking excessively. I usually don't block someone unless I'm being threatened or actively harassed. I've never blocked someone over a minor disagreement if they were acting in good faith.
