...yeah the way the game works is we all get in the pool and then whoever is "it" closes their eyes and then they shout "lorem!" and then everybody else shouts "ipsum!" and the person who is "it" tries to catch the other players, and you keep doing that over and over again until someone accidentally leaves the placeholder text in at press time

This is the fundamental misunderstanding. A lot of critics look at him and think, "I don't like him. But he's the president!"

But he isn't a president in any meaningful sense. He can't execute the office or defend the Constitution because he doesn't understand either of them.

Just want to share a quick useful tip I learned from a police officer today.

If you work in a setting where you've to shake a lot of strangers hands, like I do.

You'll sometimes find that some people (cough, men), is out to crush every bone in your hand.

What you can do to avoid having your fingers broken, is to put your index finger on their wrist. This way, they can't put as much force into the handshake.

I had no clue about this, and all this time I've suffered 😫

Billionaires too often seem to kneejerk think "I'm a really smart guy" when really their default should be "I'm operating in a system rigged for accumulating disparities & I'm surrounded by sycophants."

Calling all #Fediverse admins of instances in the #EU. The #CopyrightDirective is coming, we need to show the MEPs how massively the EU Internets will be affected.

We are preparing a list of all EU-based #Pleroma, #Mastodon, #GNUSocial, #Peertube, #Funkwhale, and any other instances.

Please *contact me*. All I need is the domain name, which EU Member State it's located in, and the rough topic of the instance. Approximate user count welcome, but not necessary.

Please help. This is important.

Survey finds white men leaders assume the biggest issue in racial and ethnic diversity is having a pipeline of candidates, but employees of color claim the biggest problems are bias, sponsorship, promotion, and advancement. (No surprises here...)

I also want the teams responsible for designing, building, and operating Spirit & Opportunity to live long enough to see this.

I want to live long enough to see us find Spirit and Opportunity again and build museums around each of them.
