I'm not.

A significant percentage of likely Democratic voters in several states voted "undecided" in the primaries with the public, stated purpose of making it clear to Biden/Harris that they wanted changes with regard to US policy on Israel's genocide.

Biden/Harris ignored them.

Of course they didn't get those votes. It's one thing to double-down on bombing kids. It's another to double-down on bombing kids and also tell voters to go fuck themselves.

It's not half.

It's 99%. Well, 98% after ten million voters realized neither party was doing anything for them and opted not to skip a day's pay last election day.

You can get away with anything when 99% of the voters don't actually care about the quality of the people we elect, and that's the US.

When you're right, you're right.

Agreed. It's silly.

I like Mastodon. It's like social media from 2010, chronological, only seeing what you want, great curation tools, and no ads or stupid algorithm. Moderation is also way better on Mastodon, though it can vary by instance.

I haven't used BlueSky, but I imagine it feels pretty familiar, which is what a lot of people want, and that's cool too.

They can both be good things.

Also an excellent way to end conversation about a controversial topic when needed.

Deleted mine two years ago.

Kinda surprised it took everyone this long, TBH.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

I can only assume BlueSky feels more familiar.

Mastodon requires a bit of effort, lacking an algorithm to drive content toward users, so you have to do a bit more yourself.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world -3 points 3 days ago

Sounds about right.

Even after 2016, the Dems haven't figured out what a bad idea it is to double down on their way of thinking, even in service to self-interest.

There aren't any ads on Mastodon. :)

 

INDEPENDENCE, Mo. (KCTV) - An Independence woman, who doctors told would be partially blind for the rest of her life, is regaining her vision due to a relatively new implant approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

 

CLEVELAND -- The Browns' back-and-forth battle with Cleveland over a planned move into a new suburban stadium has gone to court.

The NFL team said Thursday it has filed a lawsuit in federal court asking for clarification of the "Modell Law," which the city has threatened to use to keep the Browns from leaving after their lease at lakefront Huntington Bank Field expires in 2028.

The team has played its games in downtown Cleveland since the 1940s, and in its current 65,000-seat stadium, which is leased to the team by the city, since 1999.

The section of state law known as the "Modell Law" says any professional sports owner that uses a tax-supported facility for home games and gets funding from the state or a political subdivision can't leave unless it gets permission to play elsewhere or gives six months' notice.

 

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - A sight previously thought to be science fiction is very real at a southeast Kansas City shopping center. Instead of a police officer, a security robot has been patrolling sidewalks and shoppers are taking notice.

Since Marshall the robot has been on the job, shoppers say the experiences have completely changed when they come to these stores. The robot can spend 23 hours a day monitoring the parking lot from all angles which gives people a new sense of protection and ease they don’t always have when out.

Marshall took over security at Brywood Centre in April. Before that, Karen White noticed a lot of trouble outside the shopping center.

“Sometimes it’d be concerning for your car like someone could take it or something,” White said.

Knowing now that Marshall is always watching, the risk of crime does not worry her or others as much.

“It made it very better, like you can’t be in the parking lot without seeing the robot,” White continued. “So, I think it scared them off.”

 

Every show with a suicide now has a disclaimer with a suicide hotline at the beginning. Is there any evidence that these warnings make a positive difference?

 

You have a better chance of snapping a photo of Bigfoot than you have of a voter fraud incident in your jurisdiction, but it infuriates me that the myth of widespread voter fraud persists.

 

The article states that these horrendous, disgusting infractions of health regulations have been documented out for at least the previous year, but given their severity, I'd imagine it's always been this way at Boar's Head production facilities.

I'm going to cook my deli meats from now on, no matter where they come from.

 

In a groundbreaking experiment, Japanese researchers transferred regenerative genes to fruit flies, leading to improved intestinal health and enhanced stem cell activity. This discovery opens new possibilities for anti-aging strategies in higher organisms, including humans, through targeted gene therapy.

 

FLINT—Eight days after entering the world, Khi’Meir Taylor made another debut — this time in what could be a national spotlight.

Wednesday was the first day of a $55 million experiment to test whether cash payments can protect children from the toxic stress of poverty.
