I dip my toe into the world of social networking here on Mastodon from time to time, mostly to read and favorite other people's posts, but occaisionally I'll add my drivel to the stream.

I think it's time to remove all men from politics ... government, the judiciary, corporate board rooms, management, religious leadership, education ... hmmm, what else am I forgetting here?
At this point, I think throwing out the metaphorical first born male babies with the bathwater on this one would be pretty a-okay. Let them be pilots, or engineers, or painters, or anything other than rulers/leaders. #USPol #Men
Just a reminder to myself that in my youth I actually did punch a nazi in the face for being a racist shit-bag nazi, and that in my geezerhood today I'd happily do it again.
I'm happy to be doing anything other than #VFX at this point. I'm still chained to a desk though, cutting this little project. #Editing. 😆
BTW, I highly recommend VFX artists edit as often as they can. You'll get a much better idea of where all the notes came from, why they came, and how to make stronger creative decisions to not get those notes in the first place. The real job is not to make the visual effect the "coolest" thing ever. It's to help tell a story.

CEOs like Larry Ellison and his neppo-loser son are mad that #Covid19 had even the one meager, thin silver-lining: it proved many people could work remotely. And these control-freak losers want to claw that back whenever and wherever possible.
Roger Waters deserves an apology, many actually.

@danyork I love it. Metaglass wearers are just the new glassholes. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Glasshole
Wealth is a celestial object. The bigger and more dense it gets, the more gravity it posesses to pull in even more wealth. In economic terms, this gravity is called "Interest." At levels of obscene wealth, the gravitational pull becomes so great the wealth becomes a black hole that never releases its wealth back into the economy. That is the ONLY reason we need to tax the wealthy. We tax them because they hoard money and (unlike the poor) don't buy shit.

I worked on Star Trek, and right-wingers are not very smart. 😂

@virtualbri 100%!!!
The Chavez revelation also reminded me of Pablo Picasso, whose current art held by collectors should all be devalued by more than 90%. (It won't of course. Those collectors are all in the Epstein class.)

@SteveBellovin@infosec.exchange It's a story that is nearly always brushed under the rug. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/the-soviet-union-helped-save-the-world-from-hitler-a7020926.html @elorti5@mastodon.social

@virtualbri I have to say, the general handling on a societal level of this ugly revelation has been pretty okay. I just keep thinking about the other end of the spectrum where some people work to preserve statues of their murderous, vile heroes. Frankly, all the Founding fathers should get his kind of swift treatment. (Don't worry. I'm not holding my breath.)

@historyofpunkrock@sfba.social I refuse to believe he is 76-years-old. I just saw him playing with the Devo at the Palace in Hollywood a couple of years ago! (Though a couple of years ago might actually be 38 years ago, and now I think I might actually be old myself! 😬)

@eldritch48@mastodon.social Amen to that! I just had to edit the post for the full quote to have it hit harder. I call everything these fuckers do: "Weaponized hypocrisy."

@Catvalente If they really insist on anthromorphizing their fancy auto-complete, I'd absolutely get behind making "hallucinate" take a dirt nap and start calling the errors "psychotic breaks". At least that gives it a danger vibe. But yeah, 100% agree!

@mrbadger42@mastodon.world Exactly! As I am fond of saying: women didn't get the right to vote by voting.

@mattgriffin I have to admit that I had to look up "Gadsby's first special." And now I'll have to see it!
And since we are here, can I just add that anytime I hear people joke about Schrödinger's cat, I have to point out Schrödinger was a pedophile!
