I haven't decided what to do with this account. I got an account already for techie stuff on mastodon(1)

Bsky seems to be smart people who aren't *necessarily* techies, so maybe I'll just do my fav topics in a jumble

- philosophy
- astronomy, sci-fi
- economics
...

The important thing for Dems now is to build messaging they need to show up every. single. time at elections. Not just rally when things are shit. It doesn’t have to turn to shit in the first place if we keep showing up!

Forget about supporting the PSF, too abstract.

Pip installs from PyPI. It would be bad if `pip install` stopped working. Support the org that runs PyPI.

Surprise, it's the PSF! Your company depends on #Python. You want it to keep working and keep being good.

And little minor elections in red states flipped blue too. And swing states that could have been blue. Republicans generally can't read, so we aren't worried about them reading anything into anything.

When your constituency is mostly uneducated people who didn't finish high school, "Neomarxist" is how you want to brand your enemies, so that rural MAGA people will think back to their days in college and know how to hate. Wait... that doesn't sound right.

To protest #WashingtonPost
firing all the good journalists & replacing them with MAGA hacks, I've cancelled my sub. Seems like one of the few papers covering US politics without filtering it through kleptocrat ideological lenses is the Guardian, but I'm open to suggestions about a good alt to #WaPo

A whole country is currently thinking in Greek. I guess we can do more, but we'll need to learn to type all over again.

Conservatives! Please binge on saturated fat, butter and meat. Your ideological masters command it!

This is the best way to control the population of conservatives. They're going to be stroking out faster than a swimmer can stroke.

NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work.

Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.

She was later released with NO CHARGE.

A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”.
