When I say I love Cheesecake Factory, I mean this cat who was found malnourished and wandering through a Bay Area mall parking lot. Cheesecake Factory has since been rescued and nursed back to health. He's now healthy, vaxxed, & sweet, but still needs a loving home www.petfinder.com/cat/cheeseca...

It’s wild that we have a society like this. Like we’re just not doing anything about it. We’re just kind of watching it collapse.

Anyway Toronto please *violent hacking coughs* Toronto please vote today, I really wanted to do GOTV canvassing but *30-second string of doubled-over coughs* anyway this election is super important, Chou is significantly threatened and her opponent looks worse than just going back to John Tory

Chow. The mayor's name is spelled Chow, not Chou as above. I apologize, I am really out of it today, did I mention *violent hacking coughs* did I mention I'm sick

Do you wish I had included the qualifying language "in Colorado under some circumstances" in that last post, thus making it less histrionic and alarmist? Convince Aaron to increase the post limit by 37 characters and you can get your wish!!!

Over and over I keep seeing politicos describe trans girls as "men", or advocate restrictions on trans healthcare; and trans people get upset; and rankfile Democrats look at us upset and go wow, I just don't understand why these online transes are getting so upset about sports

Mallory Moore@sexabolition.blog

Sports got chosen because they're a really good way of keeping people fantasising about trans bodies, being a communal space for embodied being.

Your brains are short circuiting when you hear the word "sports". A sentence or a paragraph says the word "sports" and you don't read anything in the paragraph before or after that. Well probably not you, you're reading this which means I haven't blocked you yet. But other people

Presumably, the far right predicted or focus-tested that this effect would occur, which is why "transgender" "childrens'" "sports" is the wedge of the wedge of the wedge for the government forcing medical detransition (yes that's happening, read Erin in the Morning's feed instead of the QRTed posts)

For those wondering why this account was suspended: Apperantly the picture the other day of a deer "smoking" a bong was flagged for an "animal safety" violation The funny thing is, it was a taxedermied deer, so its not possible for any animal to be in "danger", and tbh, it was pretty obvious #deer

It's not enough for me to have the most successful live-service game in the world, I also need to save money by not paying my workers. It's not enough to have a technology that lets me not pay my workers, people have to keep liking me after I start using it. I'm the 837th richest person in the world

Like idk, if a very rich person would spend, I don't know, $N on some sort of object that would make them happy, and people liking them online makes them happy, maybe they could "spend" $N via the-business-they-are-a-controlling-shareholder-of paying $N more to do business in a non-hateful manner?

The internet can be pretty gullible about tech products, but congrats to everyone who called exactly what this was going to be used for from the first moment they saw it.

The point of John Cage's 4'33" was not that the music is silence but that the experienced sound of the piece will naturally be filled in by random sounds in the natural environment, pages turning on the piano, people shifting in their seats; the first public performance of 4'33" was held in a forest

What I listened to today: "Nagra SN demo with Modern Sounds Pluto v3", troy mckaskle A musician records every meticulous step of making a short 40-second retro-synth motif, running a modern aleatoric unit into a 1970s vintage portable tape unit to saturate the waves www.youtube.com/watch?v=OX6a...

Mike Layton is on the ballot and can get back on the council, if you're in that area and that's a thing that sounds good to you. Today we *hacking wheezing coughs* we have the opportunity to be *uncontrollable coughing* Brasil and *coughing* Brasil and not *clearly having trouble breathing* B… C…

Also uh **stopping and trying to breathe, clearly having trouble** i think you. i think you want to get that. that COVID vaccine. I think it was supposed to be Nov 1 but they moved it up. It's *hacking coughs* the strain's really bad this year. *violent coughing fit* Oh my god it's been four *weeks*

toronto.citynews.caOntario opens free flu, COVID-19 vaccinations to all residentsOntario's Ministry of Health says receiving both the flu shot and COVID-19 vaccine during the same appointment is safe and recommended.

Boosting as a point of interest and without personally endorsing contained views In this story, Erin identifies 32 Democrats running this cycle who've taken anti-trans positions and singles out 4 whose positions are *so* toxic she herself would abstain on that ballot line rather than vote for them.

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people. I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate. I make my case here.

There was this time Cleveland did a balloon release event and the tv news portentously declared "the Mistake on the Lake no more!" and then when the wind turned unexpectedly, the balloonfall became a disaster and the airport shut down and there were fatalities. Anyway this event has now been outdone

A trans person publicly doing something and the world didn’t explode?

I want all trans people to know that Erika Hilton is a black transwoman and the most-voted congresswoman in the history of Brazil, with 1.5 millions votes. She campaigned for Lula over the last three weeks. WE TRANS PEOPLE CAN EXIST IN POLITICS. It’s not a dream. It’s already a reality in Brazil!

I just want to name that people overcame this. Even against a stacked deck, the good fight is worth it. Win or lose, it's worth it. And sometimes the good guys win.

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

What's really, really funny right now is the creeping realization we dodged a bullet by Epic selling off Bandcamp to strip-mining VCs instead of it being owned by Epic right now

Okay I have NO idea who the "target audience" for this is, but I've finished another entry in my project to learn 25 new programming languages and "livetweet" the experience of writing a program in each of them. This time I did Idris, the language famous for being "Haskell, but harder". It went bad

mastodon.socialmcc (@mcc@mastodon.social)#BabelOfCode 2024 Week 11, Puzzle 17 Language: Idris PREV WEEK: https://mastodon.social/@mcc/114582208242623432 RULES: https://mastodon.social/@mcc/113676228091546556 PUZZLE TEXT: https://adventofcod...

The main problem I hit was— partially because of the freeform design of Idris, where types are just another sort of value and can be passed to functions and such— the error messages were universally useless. Whenever something wouldn't compile, all I knew was "something is wrong".
