They're damned near interchangeable! I say this as a Minnesotan who has had many online interactions with Canadians (mostly via Discord.) Something missed by the outsider, is many times it's neither code for murder nor actual niceness. It's just plain old protocol. We just do things that way. 1/2

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

It sure sounds like most fed agencies and employees aren’t eager to answer Elon’s bullshit, but if you got the email and do send a response (that isn’t personally identifying) that you’d like to share, I’m all ears, Signal is davelevitan.26

Okay, GOP, help me out here... I thought you guys loved the Jan 6 rioters. So, when make this comparison of your constituents to Jan rioters, as if that was a bad thing, does that mean you really DIDN'T like the Jan 6th rioters? And if that's true, why didn't you punish Trump for pardoning them???

This is literally an abuse of power and severe corruption. I hope Musk goes into a dark hole for the rest of his years once this admin is out of office.

After a brief break from drawing (finger issues) I made this practice map today. I took some cues from @devenrue.com 's style of mountains. I've tried before, with disastrous results. I think I'm doing much better at it vs the past. I still have things to shore up tho. #TTRPG #Cartography #Art 1/2

Bunch people accused me of misinformation saying they’re targeting the disease not the people with the disease. I’d like to ask: you think autism and ADHD and neurodivergence is a disease? And why exactly (and how exactly) do you think it’s ok to reduce the number of people with these conditions?

Okay, so just thinking aloud here... What if all they did was classified stuff? (There are people where that's the bulk of their job...) Are they just supposed to list each day with "Did my classified work that you didn't want me to email about."??? Oh, and what about people that were on vacation?

In so far as sentiment is concerned? None. In so far as exact letters used to spell the same racist sentiment? A few letters, not enough to matter though.

If you think the way the most powerful men treat their partners and families isn’t important, you’ve already fallen for their manipulation. The violence at home is part and parcel of their abuse of power

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

I wouldn’t think “moved to root out diversity initiatives” is a useful phrase for journalism at all, but using it as a euphemism for a purge of high ranking black officers is downright Orwellian.

This will cause a collapse of many of the remaining non-oligarchy owned farms. The way their collapses have played out in the past is a megacorp buys the land from the owners, leases it back then, sets unrealistic production demands. 1/2

So, the organization employing the new GI doc sent me a survey. They asked about patient safety. So, I scolded them for not having people masked by default. The nurse did mask up when seeing me masked, and I appreciate the initiative. I also mentioned that. But it shouldn't be a reactive behavior. 🧵
