Lover of music, design and other things I'm no good at. Readercon and Typecon were my ideas. Some think I take a decent photo or video now and then.

I know that it’s commonplace nowadays to accuse the other side in a political argument of being Nazis, but it’s hard to argue with that characterization here.

Comments made by Trump in the past few weeks echo statements from Adolf Hitler nearly verbatim.

This has to be intentional. It should be on every front page:

Hitler: I will get rid of the “communist” “vermin”

Trump: I will get rid of the “communist” “vermin”

—

Hitler: I will take care of the “enemy within”

Trump: I will take care of the “threat from within”

—

Hitler: Jews and migrants are poisoning Aryan blood

Trump: Migrants are “poisoning the blood of our country”

—

Hitler: “One People, One Realm, One Leader”

Trump: “One People, One Family, One Glorious Nation”

@TYandThatGuy Dark. I'm still on the fence about 1899, since it was cancelled and we'll never get to see the story through. Still, that didn't stop me from watching Archive 81.

I'm a retired musician/teacher but, back in the day, I had another life coding mainframe training systems. So, I GOT RID OF THE DOG that is plucking our nerves.

R-Click on pic of dog, Click on Inspect, R-Click on the highlighted code and then select "Hide Element."

WOOF!

@chrissteinplays I see this constantly, people comparing the worst of contemporary music to the best of their own personal Golden Age (usually the age when they started listening seriously). And forgetting that the best can be hard to find, and they've forgotten how to look.

This could be interesting. Full disclosure - there's an 80K plus waitlist, and this is a referral link that might help me get in sooner if you join that waiting list. It *sounds* like the kind of place Twitter was aiming to be long ago.

NYC was my first stop after leaving home, and I went 5 times to this. After a month I ran out of money and spent my last $10 on a ticket to Boston.

Hobbs has held the lead over Lake since election night.

The race was called after the latest batch of vote gave her an insurmountable lead — 50.4% to Lake's 49.6% — with 98% of votes counted.

In theory, we knew repeated COVID reinfections were bad, but a study out today in @Nature of 5.8 million people shows that each reinfection significantly increases the risks of complications, like diabetes and kidney problems, hospitalizations and death.

@kidcongopowers When I moved here in 2018, one of the attractions was that my vote would make more of a difference here than in safely-blue MA. I hope that's still true after today, and that we deny the election-deniers and remain a democracy!
