You know how a comedian can get instant applause from an audience by saying "anyone here smoke weed?"
Defending the honor of rss feeds is Mastodon's version of that.

@dcoderlt@ohai.social I'm pretty sure the nuclear plant in that thumbnail is an sprite from Sim City circa 1995.
AI smoothed it out a bit but that's what it is using.
Dad report:
Earlier this week, he asked me if he should respond to a DCCC mailer saying they had a 10-to-1 match for small donations. I told him he shouldn't, but if he actually likes any candidates, I can get him their donation info.
This morning, I told him the DCCC took $2.5 million from Palantir. He immediately understood what I was talking about before.

@artemis@dice.camp Practice, and mapping future targets.

@artemis I have this fear, too. And that fascism works best when it's fighting against something, which is part of the flailing of Trump 47---he picks a fight with Minneapolis, it doesn't go great, he picks a fight with Iran, it doesn't go great.
Once the Democrats actually have some power Trump can push against, they'd better make sure he doesn't set the terms as (once again) a belligerent truth-teller against the elites.

@artemis I think their plan is about as logical as a child smashing a toy that's stopped working. They have no idea how Iran actually works (or nation states in general) so it's just smash and cry until a parent shows up.
I also think Vance's main goal is trying to build credibility for himself as president.
It is conspicuous that Rubio isn't in the mix... He gets a lot more credit than he deserves for being the adult in the room, but maybe he's smart enough to keep his head down on this one.

@Athenalindia@pagan.plus First time seeing Jesus Camp? How did that land, 20 years further down the side into christofascism?

@Athenalindia@pagan.plus Gotcha. What brought you back to seeing it?
(I saw it float by in the letterboxdfriday and did a little Alec Guineas beard stroke. "Jesus Camp? Now that is a name I have not heard in a long time. A long time.")
