I know I only retweeted this yesterday - but a recent conversation made me think of it again... I think this may become my new pin.
To remind me not to do it - but also to remind others.
She nails it: It's not left/right - it's top/bottom. The top 10% control everything and see the bottom 90% as "resources" to consume. They control your income and your jobs... and the government.
And we keep electing them into power.

Soooo... like many others, after the election, I suddenly discovered that most of the people I regularly follow or interact with had vanished...
And reappeared on that "other" Azurian platform. :)
I'm there as thewerewolf @ bsky . social
PS: It really is nicer there.
Hey.. all you pro-Palestinian supporters who felt you couldn't vote for Harris and so voted for Trump.
Told ya so.

*sigh* I wish @Microsoft would stop trying to be Apple.
It's like watching your grandfather trying to twerk.

The most frustrating thing about Trump winning is that all the people on my side will now spend the next four years complaining how stupid everyone who voted for Trump is... while never admitting that it was our side who failed at selling our view to them.
Well... at least one small bit of good news...
The BC NDP held onto a slim majority. Now, hopefully they'll learn from this and tackle the actual problems people are worries about.

If all you have is belief, then everything becomes possible. And you have no way to tell reality from fiction because fiction also becomes "real".
Except it isn't.
I have to admit it... @DCOfficial 's Absolute Universe thing works. The new characters are 'sort of' the old ones, but different without disrespecting the originals. And we still have the originals (more or less) at the same time.

I'm embarrassed toi admit I just got the joke as to why Asmodeus from @VivziePop 's Helluva Boss looks like a bird...
He's the deadly sin of lust, right?
And he looks like a rooster... which in French is "coq".
So... :)
BTW, anyone worried that Trump might get a constitutional amendment through that repeals the 'two term' limit needs to know that would take 2/3s of the House AND the Senate AND 3/4s of all states ratifying.
And 20 states went blue, so no way they'll get 3/4 of the states.
All my VRChat friends are asking if I'd marry them so they can move to Canada.
I have to point out that polygamy is illegal up here and my apartment just isn't big enough...
For what it's worth, if we survive the next four years, Trump cannot run for prez again, and at some level, I think the US might need the good slap in the face that four years of him might give.
I also hate being proven correct.
I really, really, really hate it.
So.. to be clear... the reason Musk's Giveaway isn't illegal (ie: isn't a lottery) is because it's rigged and the prizes are going to preplanned recipients not chosen by random chance.
I'm not quite sure how this makes it better...
And this is exactly why I don't like the current trends in genAI.
People had a hard enough time telling reality from fiction (see: antivaxxers and alt-right/left types), genAI makes it far, far worse.

UI/UX design tip (looking at you @ff3dprinters).
If you make a button in light grey, it looks disabled.
I like subtle colouring, but there is such a thing as TOO subtle (and there are standards for this...).
Y'know... the best way to fix homelessness?
Give people a home until they can get back on their feet and pull their lives back together.
Mental health support for those who need it would also help a lot.
