@stux we (east coast) will be the last to go, but there’s supposed to be a 30 degree F drop in temperatures starting around noon . Not good.

@Hey_Beth @tchambers @mmasnick As I noted the other day, I think this is Mastodon’s golden hour. Everything is working well (thanks @stux !) and interactions here extremely positive.I don’t think it can ever sink as far as Twitter (federation for the win) but I think the earliest migrants are the people who most wanted something good, and they are making it happen.

@tchambers @mastodonusercount @mastodonmigration We’re outpacing serendipity. I’ve been watching, hoping #Mastodon would get their on the first day of spring, but the bonehead’s shenanigans will likely get us there early.

@stux it's not really that common, though outside of the cities, they likely get access to a car. Much like a parent will give an old phone to a child for a first phone, it's not outrageous for a family to hand down a car if there's a relatively new driver who could really use it, not a birthday thing though.Rich people give their kids cars.

@stux the threat to move is what you see up front, the back room deals for nephew jobs and “contributions” is very much why it works.

@alex sure, they went 8 months without a chief risk officer (who cashed in on her way out), but let’s blame someone who has been there for, like, 20 minutes

@alex not really. It’s not like the fed didn’t tell you what they were going to do, even chumps outside of banking (like me) knew what was coming. They just screwed the pooch because they’re incompetent at best, & quite possibly crooks.

@grammargirl I follow it, but when I’m editing someone else, I’ll let them know, but I won’t insist. I understand and endorse the logic of it but I also understand that people are comfortable and not confused by the other way.

@jquillin I’m certainly not the target for your instance (I dress like a mud puddle)but that doesn’t mean I think fashion isn’t important and if you haven’t found them already, I think your community would enjoy April Callahan & Cassidy Zachary’s podcast “Dressed” the history of fashion A recent episode:https://overcast.fm/+L_a5ez4ww

@stux there are specific uses, artwork, reading in bed, etc.,. The pencil is really good.

@mekkaokereke That Pew headline really does capture the essence of institutional racism. It is the most respected institution in the field of social research in the country. It knows full well that the data supports the conclusion that systemic and structural racism pervades American society, but it couldn't stop itself from condemning people who understand that obvious truth as buying into conspiracy theories.

@mekkaokereke Pew seems to be trying to step back from this incendiary "study" or the language in it, or something. I can't really figure out what they're doing, but at least part of it is trying to redefine "conspiracy theory" when it has to do with race. How about this Pew:Admit you screwed up. Admit that these observations aren't "conspiracy theories", but data-supported conclusions by people with direct experience with these activities and institutions.

@mekkaokereke Here's an example of the bait and switch tactics from the survey:Anyone with eyes can see that black people are disproportionately jailed. Whether they all agree that it's specifically to make money for prisons or not I can't say, there's certainly evidence for lots of other reasons, like denying them their right to vote or even just "to keep them down" (the general supposition of the study).It's the second part that tries to make the obvious conclusion seem "crazy".

@Nonilex Trump's law-breaking is so clear that even the New York Times is able to see it. Right now, not one elected Republican has stood up for the rule of law.He would be impeached tomorrow if they fulfilled their Constitutional duty. That they don't makes them accomplices in his crime spree.
