@catselbow I don’t want to be negative despite the fact that it comes naturally to me. But using the apt analogy you used with statistical mechanics - you also have the #BigBang. Left to its own devices nature is cold and indifferent.
@billbarol the #republicans have had years of experience successfully peddling incompetent idiots. I don’t think this last attempt gave them or Lindsey Graham any pause.

There's no systemic racism but weirdly every time we train an AI on public data sets it becomes very racist.

If you see this toot (yeah this one right here), can you boost it for me? It will help my new server federate with the wider Mastodon network. 🚀 🙏
Thanks to anyone who can do this. It is really appreciated! This server is small but will be hosting several #peace #SocialJustice and #Humanistic groups, so it is for a good cause.

Wow. Apple finally decided to stop arguing with the FBI and enable full encryption of iCloud backups. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/12/07/icloud-apple-encryption/

Just got laid off from BuzzFeed and I’m truly heartbroken. I have so much passion for writing and to get this news right before Christmas is truly devastating. If anyone is looking for a writer—I’m available for hire. 🙁 #tuesday
@futurebird the first thing that crossed my mind when I read that was older versions of #Microsoft #Office and its #odd “shortcuts”
@popcornreel makes perfect sense. Thank you!

My 87 year old parents just called me extremely distressed. They told me to remain calm and proceeded to tell me that my son called crying saying he was in jail. He said he'd hit a pregnant woman with his car and needed bail money. An attorney then called with details saying he would need $7,500.00 to be released. It was a SCAM. I'd just talked to my son. They would have paid except for the fact that I have their bank cards. Please be careful out there.
@assortedfiles @donmelton butt ghosts ard real! Ask @mathowie he’ll tell ya!
@donmelton for what it’s worth it’s worth - I have been meaning to thank you for:
1. Being my first follower (made me feel quite warm and fuzzy that *Don Melton* was following moi) but then I realized that I wasn’t special 😊
2. Introducing me to interesting people that I would have not known about on my own.
So while it can be chatty at times. The net benefits exceed it all. 👍🏼
@msignorile @donmelton I think they don’t realize that the “second amendment” is part of that same #Constitution whoopsies
@Fenix @donmelton Is my memory deceiving me or is it not the first time we’re hearing these type of rumblings from #republicans about the #constitution ? I recall during the Bush years the Chaney referring to it as a quaint document.
@ivory Thank you!
