@thisismissem @esm @mcc The whole Democratic organization mostly talks over on Bluesky now... and a lot of the discourse circles around holding rapists accountable, treated trans people like full humans in the US, and acting towards Israel in a manner commensurate with their actions.

@thisismissem @esm @mcc It would not surprise me if one of three specific state actors were behind this little experiment.

@QasimRashid@mastodon.social "We fucked up. Therefore the problem is all people being equal" is an argument that only appeals to white supremacy.

@Andres@mastodon.hardcoredevs.com @pikesley@mastodon.me.uk I tend to agree. The question was engineered to get the response. If it weren't, you wouldn't have "very best tennis" and "win a point". You'd have "do you think you could beat Serena Williams in a tennis match?"
Also, looking at the data table, it's worse than that. A large fraction voted "don't know", which means they think maybe there's a chance.

@ouinne@wandering.shop @lydiamiller@mas.to I can pronounce it fine, no idea what it does.

@DavidNielsen@mastodon.social @Miriamm@mastodon.social @lisamelton@mastodon.social Every time I see violence in Israel, I wonder what Bibi's trying to distract us from this time.

@Andres@mastodon.hardcoredevs.com @pikesley@mastodon.me.uk I wonder how much of this is mathematical bait and switch. The question is: "Do you think if you were playing your very best tennis, you could win a point off Serena Williams?"
Winning a point in a game of tennis means losing the game game-15 to Serena, that is, getting a single point before Serena gets 4. While I seriously doubt even 10% of US men could do this, it's a far lower bar than beating her at a game.

@MercG@mindly.social @ct_bergstrom@fediscience.org The real question is which is the cheaper calories - Zuck's steak or billionaire meat?

@QasimRashid I love this and I feel sad that Bill hung up his pencil so long ago. We're so old now, man.

@nf3xn Lord. I mean, I heard the interview, but I didn't know that he bribed her to make it go away.
Damn.

@nf3xn I mean, how can you not love a guy literally named "Peter Hungary" when he is destroying all the assholes literally on Day 1?
@JessTheUnstill So say we all.

@epixoip@infosec.exchange @bitwarden@fosstodon.org @1password@1password.social The only advice I would add to scream to the world is use a slow algorithm like bcrypt or scrypt to increase the burden for those cracking passwords offline.

@rbreich@masto.ai Actually Robert, the GOPs or their allies sue anyone who puts forward those kind of programs under the so-called "major questions doctrine", which will go up to the Supreme Court, who will then block it.

@GottaLaff@mastodon.social @MugsysRapSheet@mastodon.social Lest us not forget that about half his supporters are effectively in a cult, and are subject to authoritarian control of their behaviour, thought, information, and emotions.

My son wants to call PETA now.
