Just a day ago, the #BrokenTimes declared "the very notion of identity politics is in retreat." Oh, how wrong. As usual, German media are covering America's fight against fascism and bigotry better than our press does. The conservative FAZ called the election "a triumph of diversity."

@jeffjarvis the New York Times is no longer relevant as a mouthpiece of the fascist regime. It has failed it’s one job. #MSMIsDead Jim, it’s dead.
hell fucking yeah (mostly)!
@cwebber One nice thing about being an American living abroad is that you can choose which political events you use the first-person plural for.
"I feel so bad for all of YOU down there. YOU really messed up this time."

"WE did it! Hooray for all of US."
WTF, Politico. "Whole theory of power." He has no theories. He's just an authoritarian, would-be tin-pot dictator spray-painted gold: a fascist.
"Authoritarian con man" is a theory, and it's has worked surprisingly well. Just because it's trivial and morally repugnant doesn't mean we can dismiss it as ineffective.
The teachers used to watch us very closely in the showers after PE to make sure we were getting clean enough. I asked my teenage son the other week if this had ever happened in the schools he's been to and he was absolutely horrified

@crazybutable excellent choice. Do you want me to ship it today or would you like to see if there's anything else that grabs your eye?
@moira It’s weird (and sad) to see this one race sticking out like a sore thumb in this morning’s results. So much good news to wake up to (thank god), and…this.
@djwudi Yeah, that "but fuck them queer kids" boot to the teeth is, uh... I want to say a brisk reality check, but it's more of a... hmm.., molten lead.

Goodreads removed RSS and some people are asking for alternatives on Reddit; maybe worth pointing to BookWyrm and NeoDB?
Goodreads removed RSS and some people are asking for... #fediverse #goodreads #bookwyrm #neodb #rssfeeds
Both fediverse softwares that support user reviews for books, both have RSS support natively (no Piefed/Misskey bridge needed), and some comments also seem discontent with Amazon's mismanagement overall.
When can we start impeachment?
Like today, maybe late afternoon?
If it is not with removal from office, I want nothing.

Of course, the artist name for that track contradicts the assertion in the title. Unless.. that's the paradox..?!
🤔
@keefmarshall @bazkie I wish we knew who the mysterious figure behind that artist name is. They may know something we don't.

Oh, and while I have you: PicoMicroMac is back in stock!
You sure?
They seemed to be okay with it since Reagan, but okay…
To be honest, it seems like it was on a slope to Hell since after World War II and I wonder what spooked them…
@thenewoil nothing says "i'm interested in this conversation" like looking at your watch, after all
