    ¨Chateau Picard, 2041 Silver, Jake.&amp;quot; The Bear shambled in, a sad look about them. Jake´s face said, ¨I was wondering what you were going to pick.¨ His voice said ¨´sec, lemme go dig it out...&amp;quot; He returned in a minute or so, polishing several dusty bottles. ¨Your money´s no good tonight, Mixter Bear. Anyone want some, it´s on the house,&amp;quot; he said, pitching his voice to just cut the murmur of voices. Several wandered to the bar for a glass; the Bear waited at T...

    RE: https://mastodon.social/@VeroniqueB99/117373065488683881 #uspol #cornell7 #fuck_patriarchy This is the Way. Or, at least, half of it. Those who would take power over us without our consent? Should have No Peace. Those who are victim to such ... individuals? Should Know Peace.

    FRI-day, FRI-day, get your Bandcamp Friday... I invite you to go find something hoopy and froodish and give an indie artist ALL THE LOOT (i.e. Bandcamp takes none)... This is what I&#39;m getting, YMMV. (Yes, it is, at least in part, a protest against AI...) #BandcampFriday #MusicByHumans #fuck_ai #music

    Fifty-seven years ago tonight. 400,000 people worked for a decade to put two sets of bootprints somewhere other than here... and the world was never the same. &#39;You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the Moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles ou...

    #uspol #hope This is a bit wild, and also hope-full. This is what happens when somebody who isn&amp;#39;t, but makes noises like, an NPR reporter, sits down to breakfast with a bunch of Republicans and starts asking gentle questions. tl;dr there&amp;#39;s a fair bit of bluster and so on from the people still wearing Hats, but there are more people in the group who are for decency and caring for one another than you&amp;#39;d think. https://patricemersault.substack.com/p/part-2-a-funny-thi...

    Okay, first things first. If you DO NOT HAVE AN AMERICAN PASSPORT, DO NOT GO TO AMERICA. Don&#39;t pass go, don&#39;t collect USD 200. Just DON&#39;T. Period, paragraph, ship the trilogy. You&#39;re on Mastodon. That makes you, in their eyes, some kind of leftist scum, AND, you&#39;re not Murkin, so, yeah, cuff&#39;em, stuff&#39;em, and throw&#39;em in a concentration camp until somebody raises an alarm and causes a diplomatic incident and MAYBE you get to go home. (Anybody with enough...

    @annathepiper@mastodon.murkworks.net Kobo just pissed me off.... I &quot;bought&quot; an ebook on their European site... I did not get a download. I got a link to their captive reader portal. BOOOOOO... I don&#39;t know if the US site still allows downloading an ePUB/MOBI/whatsis... I just went straight to the publisher (Baen) and bought it there, doing a chargeback on Kobo... one _un-DRM&#39;ed_ ePUB, please and thank you... right now eBooks.com and Smashwords are my two go-to sites, mostly...

    #Fuck_AI #climate #deGoogle #fascism I&amp;#39;m well aware of the fact that getting rid of Google in your life is ..... non-trivial. However, comma, switching browsers is probably the closest to trivial you can get, and it&amp;#39;s a huge win. Like, 4GB huge, among many other things. It&amp;#39;s time to ditch Chrome if you haven&amp;#39;t already. https://www.thatprivacyguy.com/blog/chrome-silent-nano-install/
