Will Stancil (@whstancil.bsky.social):
The reason I will never respect the left is that so many of its members are so profoundly dishonest
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Will, you wrote two independent clauses which happen to also be complete sentences. The second is related to the first by reference solely by your choice to abut it; The first is still an independent, free-standing sentence. Circumscribing a tiny subset of unacceptable attacks doesn't negate …
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
… that the first clause / sentence / rhetorical position
OPENS THE DOOR
When Marc Antony exclaims, "Cry Havoc! And Let Slip the Dogs of War!"
he has still ordered an attack, no matter what the attackers cry

Please, I beg of you, touch grass. Language is a fluid thing. Two sentences spoken or written together (separated only by tech limitations or gestalt impressionism) are contextually related, no matter how much grammatical semantics you bring you it.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
I didn't deny they've been contextually related - I even pointed out that he had related them, by abutting them.
You seem here to say I'm denying they've been related.
So you seem to have read into my words a meaning I didn't put there.
Along with "Touch Grass". Do you Thou me, as well?

Precision screwdriver kit seems like it's a one and done sort of event. All the rest I can see loving to get again and again, but who needs that many tiny screwdrivers besides Santa's elves?

Something or someone ran off with my T3 T4 T5 & T6 Torx bits so those have to be replaced

Big ups to @signal.org @meredithmeredith.bsky.social for allowing usernames instead of phone numbers last year (signal.org/blog/phone-n...).
Washington basically runs on Signal right now and that one change has made reporting and whistleblowing way more private and secure.

great meme 😂 please consider using alt text!
alt: A version of the monkey puppet side-eye meme with monkey wearing a nazi SS cap and news headline at the top reading "DOGE Staffer Resigns Over Racist Posts: Employee has links to a deleted social-media account that advocated for racism and eugenics"
🪴 Plantpunkx🪴 (@plantpunkx.bsky.social):
Have you considered that alt-text is dangerous for people protesting atm bc of ai deepseek? Every image with an alt text is an easy catch.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
We passed that bridge about two decades ago, with the advent of Google Image Search
🪴 Plantpunkx🪴 (@plantpunkx.bsky.social):
Jupp but folkx don't get it unfortunately.

Maybe a case to be made that Trump has broken the law by appointing Musk as "the chief executive"

United States of America Inc. is a Texas corporation registered in October 2024 by Elon Musk. It is linked to Group America LLC, another company registered by Musk at the same time.

The fissure is just there now, let's not drag out the inevitable. Sometimes intra-community discourse can't be mended, and that's okay, but frick just be faster with that block button please.
"Cautiously Optimistic" Garak Tailor (@comfortingmoo.online):
A whole lot of people have been blocking me that dont make sense to me? Im guessing something happened and someone I liked a skeet from once out of context is involved or something. I swear I only see 10% of the entire skyline.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Knowing the context isn't any better. It didn't have to happen.

I think that in the future we are going to have to make it absolutely & fundamentally clear to our elected representatives that if they aren't willing to get arrested in the due course of their duties by an illegally overreaching executive, on camera, they're not the right person for the job

While this comparison is actually too generous to Facebook (see my reply for why), even as presented here is appalling how clearly our legal system applies a double standard to corporations and billionaires vs. progressive activists fighting for justice.
Aditya Mukerjee 🦦 🏳️🌈 (@chimeracoder.bsky.social):
Aaron Swartz is often incorrectly remembered for "illegally downloading JSTOR papers", but all he did was use a university network that was INTENTIONALLY freely accessible. Furthermore, he did not distribute the papers, nor is there evidence that he ever intended to.

"Copyright law no longer makes sense. As an average person (not a printer), I shouldn't be restricted from noncommercially redistributing someone else's work."
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
That statement was authored in 2008 when Swartz was 12 or 13, but also, was never retracted, and remained up after his death.
The statement goes directly to intent of acts.

Oh I did the math badly, it would be when he was 22

This kind of metalinguistic reference interests me
"Explicit" means both "not implicit" and "sexual"
The language on screen is explicit, but not sexual
The language in the songs that follow in audio are explicitly sexual
the visual language in the video is implicitly sexual, but not explicitly
