That Guy

So it turns out that compared to centralized distribution of digital information on the web, printed material in libraries provided a kind of distributed defense against the casual whims of an authoritarian government aiming to rewrite history.

Someone was calling them “skeets” which is interesting. I think a majority decided on a name for these not-tweets, but I don’t recall what it was.

But if a Republican WOULD do it, they probably shouldn’t do it, either, or they risk being terrible human beings.

That makes things difficult.

Hi, I’m God.

It’s January 6th Eve, so don’t forget to leave out crackers and crystal meth for Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Hey, this was your idea!

What about the AI that follows you to the cabin to recommend your next book download or newest show, based on your download history?

Ok … I’m with you …

Can you please skip to the part where we monetize this for our own benefit, at the detriment to the poor idiots who cannot afford to send us money?

@godpod.bsky.social … they are talkin’ shit over here …

Dangit. I enjoyed that movie and thought it was decent (only watched it once, so apparently not decent enough to repeat it). Now I’m rethinking ALL my life choices, thanks to this thread.

Every book is harmful, in the right hands and against the right enemy. That is why they are so powerful.

MAGA only wants to ban books that are harmful to MAGA.

I think this is a grammar issue. Biden commuted sentences “before Trump takes office,” not regarding crimes committed “before Trump took office.”

It describes when the commuting took place in regards to Trump’s 2nd term, not when the crimes were committed in regards to Trump’s 1st term.

I think.

Hahaha.

That would be great coming from my 13 year old.

He, however, would never tell an “inappropriate” joke like that, haha.

I’m literally on the edge of my seat, waiting for the punch line.

Toffefe?

As an open minded and, unfortunately, gullible person, I can attest this is true.

I ordered a Lamy studio, but apparently it broke in shipping, so when I re-ordered it a Lamy 2000 showed up. I’m certainly loving it!

I like the Safari; I just wish it were heavier.

This was really interesting. Thank you!

You too!

I’m sorry.

I do love it and agree with it.

I’m just incredibly sarcastic in the mornings, especially before coffee.

I live in one of the most (top 5) progressive counties in my state, and Trump won by almost 13 points.

I have to hear MAGA shit every day, on television, in the papers, on the radio, and in person. Why would I want to hear more of it here? I do want an echo chamber!

Aaah, a visual representation of Ebola.

We don’t make posters like that anymore … but maybe we should?

Hmmmmmmmmm

So we are flappers?

It is the ‘20s, after all …

I’m starting to understand what it must have been like when Caligula made his horse a senator.

Goddamnit.

Haha

I knew I shouldn’t.

But I did anyway.

Then I knew why I shouldn’t.
