They should rebrand their browser as "Microsoft Hedge," because this feature set could really use some pruning.

Three-year-old: Why do you watch me wash my hands?
Me: Because sometimes you don’t wash them enough, and then the towel smells like Doritos.
Three-year-old: But I like when the towel smells like Doritos.

A psychologist once told me that there's actually a term for people who perceive the world and behave the way Elon Musk does.
They're called "assholes."

I thought the way you copied and pasted that joke you saw on someone else’s account was so funny.

My own personal version of “all lives matter”:
When someone asks “What, do you WANT cops to get hurt?” to reply, “I don’t want anyone who’s not a Nazi to get hurt.”

Please refer to “man in the middle attack” with the more inclusive term, “person in the middle attack.” Women and nonbinary people are also capable of doing crimes.

Having a certain post format you often use or theme or formula you riff on isn’t uncreative or lazy—it can be a source of great creativity and moreover it is branding, in the best possible sense.
Example: I had a busy day yesterday, so this morning I’m catching up on my timeline by my usual method of rapidly scrolling and lightly skimming. But one thing that always makes me slow down and take notice is anything shaped like one of @Aphelion@mastodon.sdf.org’s poems.
@adhdeanasl@beige.party’s “Weekend Beige” shot/chaser posts on Fridays are another great example.
What are other examples you’ve noticed? Do you have one of your own?

Capitalism isn't freedom. It isn't trade. It isn't competition. It isn't the rule of law. It isn't markets. It isn't the absence of a centrally-planned economy. It sure as fuck isn't democracy.
Capitalism is capital being in charge. It is the organization of society around the interests of capital, which are further consolidation and the generation of profits.
Anything positive you associate with capitalism is an accident of history.
