Discussion
Recall the arguments against instance blocklists: the dogmatic free speech argument, the open federation argument, the grudgelist argument, and the admin responsibility argument. As far as Ro and Oliphant are concerned, the dogmatic free speech argument is just about repressive tolerance: it is code for white supremacist and transmisic entitlement....
Man, what an economy. $500 million won't even buy you a Republican Congress anymore.

Yes, thank you Wikipedia for the most 1997 image of all time
@cwebber The chrome chain is also very much from this era :)
Really worried now that the Democrats won #Ohio is going to be made a state
@chris especially since permanent DST was a capital and elected-official project (grassroots and scientists tended to favour permanent standard time)
@bookandswordblog yup!
Muy contento con que la RAE haya abandonado las definiciones absurdas de la palabra “vida" y haya optado por una definición con base científica clara y basada en la propiedad homeostática y heredable de la vida.
Ahora a ver si nos arreglan la definición de "dinosaurio", que aunque arreglada desde la versión anterior, sigue asumiendo que es un "reptil extinto propio del mesozoico", y bueno…
Blender artists/devs/etc. in Vienna (and surroundings), heads up:
Next saturday (November 14th) at 13:30 there will be a Blender meetup at Angewandte! This is happening as part of the PIXELvienna¹ conference.
Note that they're still working out the details and exact locations/rooms in the schedule² so probably best to check back in a few days for that, but, mark the date. :)
ps.: I did run blender meetups in vienna for a loong while, but this one's not my doing – shout-out to Leonard and Marvin from Angewandte for making it happen!
Elon Musk should spend more money to win elections.

But this isn't over yet. We must all continue punching NAZIs. And as they fall to the ground, let's not miss the opportunity to step on their necks.
@lisamelton Still pinching myself, it's wild how much color the world has acquired between last night and now.
Yes she's the first woman to be governor in Georgia and the first Black woman to be governor of any state, but she also has a name that allows headlines like this to be written.
Step 1: the people have to overwhelmingly reject fascism 🌊
Step 2: we disempower the elites/oligarchy/techbros who use their wealth to corrupt everything and enrich themselves
@chad been guilty of this plenty of times in the past. Then again, I lived in TN, where the numbers say it didn’t. Then again again, Tennessee is close to Mississippi, so I know for a fact that the same conditions were present there for years, so this too can change.

The data does not lie.
Black women turned out at 94% Democratic. Black men at 77%. Every non-white voting bloc leaned Democratic by double digits. White men voted Republican at 61%. White women at 59%.

Black women specifically.
