@RichDecibels @cube_flipper Ham radio is one of the most flexible and collapsible technologies, although it doesn't scale greatly beyond the natural power of close personal relationships. It can be an effective connective tissue between live and async comms.

“I just checked—it turns out that Art. II, Sec. 1 of the Constitution of the United States does *not* say ‘The executive Power shall be vested in a bunch of sociopaths who think they can do whatever the f*ck they want and make sh*t up as they go along.’” — George Conway

@JustJamieJoyce @GavinNewsom @JustJamieJoyce since you've brought Davos up, can you please comment upon Trump's speech there? It could help me adjust my relationship to your work.

@RichDecibels I guess that's why we have molecules

I don't usually do this sort of thing but @RichDecibels I encourage you to read this, unless your resurgent interest in scalability has subsidized

@RichDecibels hang in there, although not necessarily on this platform. I mostly left last year except for making some very pointed political statements. i do realize that with your following, the pros could seem to outweigh the cons.

@Donot57673516 @rbnmckenna86 I certainly agree we need laws & limits to immigration as long as we live under the tyranny of these nation-state governments. I appreciate your thoughtful approach here; good luck managing the social media triggers.

[Greg Cassel @gregsc1.bsky.social @gregsc1]

@Donot57673516 @rbnmckenna86 I don't assume the worst re: your bannings but the idea of depriving people "who are here fairly" was subtly ludicrous unless you meant indigenous people. That said, I used this toxic platform accidentally today & will wrap things up as quickly as feasible.

[Greg Cassel @gregsc1.bsky.social @gregsc1]

@Donot57673516 @rbnmckenna86 I don't know you well & I don't intend to, but you might be a good example of the fact that healthy communities need cultural policies & limits. Not that rules should be imposed by publicly traded corporations like X; such centralization is one of our worst problems.

[Greg Cassel @gregsc1.bsky.social @gregsc1]

@rbnmckenna86 My reply was focused on the psychological not political associations. tbh probably wouldn't have replied at all except I forgot that I was on X not Bluesky. I'm nearly anarchist & don't think 20th century achievements were ever sustainable, but don't desire to discuss that here.

[Greg Cassel @gregsc1.bsky.social @gregsc1]

@bernardtjoy I understand that you consider them to be intrinsic or natural human traits. I disagree but that's okay. To me, the practical issue is how people agree or disagree upon what their rights are. If you've written about that, a link could help me to understand your point.

[Greg Cassel @gregsc1.bsky.social @gregsc1]

@bernardtjoy Well okay but ideas and concepts are also made-up.

[Chris Hayes @chrislhayes]

This is the most straightforward attack on free speech from state actors I've ever seen in my life and it's not even close.

[Anna M. Gomez @AGomezFCC]

An inexcusable act of political violence by one disturbed individual must never be exploited as justification for broader censorship and control.

This Administration is increasingly using the weight of government power to suppress lawful expression. 🧵

@wtfis2bdone @jonathanbfine In contrast, I have no patience for academically elite bullshit, especially when coupled with unprovoked ad hominem attacks. I will indeed go away sooner or later, but only because this is a dumb toxic platform and I waste little time arguing with strangers anywhere.
