Idea: Reboot Home Improvement as a show about Jill Taylor trying to reconcile her stodgy Trumper husband Tim and their adult, married, antifa son Randy.

I have further expanded the https://www.maga-collaborators.net website.
It now tracks #colleges and #universities in addition to #law firms and other #corporations that are #collaborating, #capitulating, or #resisting the #Trump #regime.
Please share this link to help spread the word! I'll be adding to and upgrading this website regularly moving forward.
And please send tips to help fill in the gaps in the data to the email address listed on the website.

@nprofile…pye9 Requiring a physical key to access digital goods? Who the hell thought that was a good idea?!?

@nprofile…cl5w Right. AI is the factory-made frozen lasagna in the plastic tray. It's fine sometimes, but when you really want a proper lasagna, you go to an Italian restaurant or you make it yourself.

@nprofile…hpxz Ah, then you and I have very different responses to rain. For me, it's rejuvenating even when it's whipping and cold.
But especially the idea of a gentle warm front blowing in and raining after a long dusty day working in the hot sun is exactly the same feeling I associate with showering after getting grimy in other ways.

@nprofile…hpxz Evolutionary response to life-giving rain, perhaps?

@nprofile…hpxz Most of what you're describing happened before half the electorate graduated from high school, so I kind of doubt it was a major factor.
But, yeah, I think a lot of the reason why he was considered a moderate was because he had mostly extremely mainline liberal views but "moderated" them with a few extreme right-wing views.

@nprofile…hpxz As long as we have a pro-dictatorship party and an anti-dictatorship party, the choice for every American should be clear. You don't have to marry the Democrats for life, but describing them as "radical" in this moment for primarily opposing the very authoritarianism you recognize to be a threat seems to be extremely counter-productive.

@nprofile…hpxz You are literally the only person I know who thinks Biden wasn't a moderate. But also, he wasn't the party's latest nominee, nor does he seem to have any part in the party's current anti-authoritarian platform. He just pardoned his family and noped his way outta the whole situation.
So, judging the Democratic Party in 2025 based on Biden's policies in the '70s and a tiny minority of rioters 5 years ago hardly seems prudent.
You're conflating the majority with vocal minorities.

@nprofile…hpxz Yeah, I don't agree with that assessment. The Dem party certainly has some radical elements, but describing their core party platform or the majority of their members as radical does not seem to be supported by reality.
The Republican platform is currently "let's dismantle the government and constitution in the name of efficiency for our god-king" and the Democrat platform is an incredibly meek "no, please stop, maybe, sir?".

@nprofile…hpxz You should read the above thread again.
I never once mentioned radical or extremist policies in the initial posts (I only mentioned it later in direct rebuttals to your claims). You completely read that into my argument all on your own.

> its about not being an extreme polarized radical person, but rather a moderate person who considers the nuance of a situation
It's not about either of those things. It's about consistency and integrity and actually following the principles you claimed to champion when you ran for the office you now hold.

@nprofile…hpxz If that conclusion were true, it would be a lot easier for NPA candidates to achieve federal office.
When someone signs their candidacy form with a party next to their name, they're signing on to the party's platform, and voters should be able to expect them to adhere to that.
Now, I'm not decrying legitimate breaks for matters of one's conscience.
What I'm pissed off about is shitty politicians in swing districts betraying their own to avoid offending the moderates on the other side.

@nprofile…hpxz Sure, of course, some voters expect that. But it's pretty fair to assume that the vast majority of people who vote for Democrats want them to vote with Democrats to enact Democrat policies, and likewise for Republican voters.
And especially when the majority is in the right, voting against it is a defiance of the mandate of the people that put them in office.

2025-03-17 20:15:59 UTC

I will never understand why some Democrat elected politicians think that Democrat voters elected them to vote against the Democrats.
"The GOP are winning elections across the country by actually opposing their opponents?
Let's do the exact opposite of that winning strategy for no apparent reason!"

Just experienced my first real-life engine failure in #GeneralAviation!
Luckily, as pilots always say: "checklists save lives", which is why we were able to detect and identify the issue *before* take off.
During run-up, when I tested the first magneto, the RPMs immediately dropped 200 and then kept falling until the engine started choking. I turned it back on before it died completely. We tried again to reproduce the result and then called ground control for a return to the ramp.

Wouldn't an incredibly simple way to automate anti-abuse be to automatically suspend any account that gets blocked by more than half the users it reaches out to?
This would lighten the load for moderators and empower users. And the requirement for the suspicious account to make first contact for the block to count prevents the rule from being easily abused.

@npub1aq2…4nfw Why post about it, but choose to conceal her name?

What is the connection between native #Spanish speakers and having a motor-mouth? I've noticed that lots of folks who started out speaking Spanish speak very very quickly, often leaving no gap between words and blurring them together, no matter which language they're currently speaking.
Is it a cultural thing (most Spanish speakers I know come from Central American hispanic families), or is it something to do with the mother tongue itself?
