Mastodon is so much more fun and interesting. I just can't seem to find a reason to come here. Don't ask me why the difference exists. It just does.

Still trying to figure out why I should be here. Was never on Xitter, followed a favorite author to Mastodon and found it quite enjoyable, reminiscent of the old web, easy to find and build relationships/community. (continued in comments.)

I guess we can impeach the entire Republican House now for refusing to pass border enforcement legislation.

Gotta love the anti-Tesla ad.

I see a bunch of studies out there saying that comprehension and retention are better with audiobooks. Nonsense. This is only because the vast majority of Americans learn to read too late and never read fast enough to benefit from or enjoy it. So they have someone else do it for them.

Trump: Lowers the intelligence bar for political discourse. Entire Republican party: Limbo!

Absolutely nothing is more important for the next ten months than keeping Donald Trump out of the Whitehouse. Nothing. Not Biden's age, not Palestine, not Ukraine, not the border, not income inequality. We can argue about all of that after we send Trump packing for good.

The media spend too much time creating news and not enough reporting it.

Pundits: Trump organized an insurrection and the Constitution says that's disqualifying, but really, it seems undemocratic to not let people figure that one out for themselves. Literally the same pundits: Biden is old and should step down rather than make people vote for him.

Just noticed an embarassing typo in my earlier post. I guess we can't make corrections?

Went to Pratt, 1908-82, found a focus in abstract painting, followed that focus for 38 years while working in every possible restaurant job and most construction jobs. Switched identity for that of photographer, freelanced for McGraw-Hill Education for a few years. Continued in comments

After listening to all the arguments, I'm pretty sure it will be unanimous to overturn the Colorado Court with multiple diverse opinions. Also pretty sure the justices will pass on hearing the immunity case.

About 58,000 Ford workers are getting profit-sharing checks of up to $10,400. Profit-sharing is one of the huge benefits negotiated by the @UAW. Temporary workers will also qualify for profit-sharing for the 1st time. That's the union difference. www.freep.com/story/money/...

A song by ELO comes to mind.
