Quick Australian guide for Americans: Liberals are the conservatives on the right and are blue - red is Labor who are on the left. Greens are still green except this dark green is NP which is conservative. (and One Nation is a bunch of religious zealots and nationalist assholes) That's why this blue map is not a good thing. Imagine blue is our red, red is blue.

Kind of wish I'd cheated and put this as last song because everyone needs to love Matthew Sweet way more than they do.

How has it never occurred to me until just now that _they left the droids the empire is looking for standing around by themselves outside surrounded by Stormtroopers_!!!

Before anyone gets overly excited, it's "console-style" games... not actual console games. Metal is to Mac/iOS as DirectX is to Windows: OS-exclusive. Love live Vulkan. https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2019/601

Re-watching Battlestar Galactica and it's still just so amazing how good it is. But I do hope that someone was and still is to this day embarrassed at using Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down as an episode title.

I just saw an Entertainment Tonight promo/bumper featuring clips of what is apparently its normal content. Every single second of it made me want to vomit. "Look at these vacuous yet somehow famous people! Look how gay this one is! Look how trashy this one is. Look! Look!"

Heya, twitter migrants. I can't stress enough how getting your profile done first is important if you want people you follow to follow you back. Especially if they may have known you on Twitter with a different handle.Even better, post an introduction so that people you don't know can say 'Hey, that sounds like someone I'd like to follow'. The rest, you'll pick it up as you go along. But do pay attention CW (content warning) and sensitive images. You're gonna be just fine. 🙂

Also, don't sweat the whole server thing too much right now. Just find and follow some people and enjoy the people who inhabit your Home and Notifications just like you did before.Also, lists are NOT frowned on here like they are on Twitter. Make a List of your close friends. Go nuts.

Also also, if you are on one of the larger instances (aka server) and it's slow, don't worry, things will normalize over time. The maintainers just need time to add resources for all the new people that weren't here 9 days ago. :)

Fellow white people on Mastodon. Go, search, find people of color, read their bios, follow them. We need to hear them, and they need to know they're being heard. And we all need to be connected. #bipoc #Blackmastodon #black #latinx #indigenous

So Russia is retreating from Kerson and they can't replace aircraft faster than they're losing them. The end may be in sight. But Vlad is going to be very butthurt about this for a long time and will undoubtedly act out against... everyone as a result. But sanctions will continue to hurt and he can't stop most of those now just by retreat. He's burned that figurative bridge already [obvious Crimean bridge joke here)]

I mean, the kid isn't wrong. The British monarchy is all cute creaky old folks, but it's also a the seat of a former empire built on the backs of [largely non-white people] people whose lands and wealth they invaded and absconded with. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-york-north-yorkshire-63569908

Self-shaming. This is the squalor of my living room right now.
