like the NYTimes audio commentator just pointed out: we can no longer pretend that Trump is an aberration, a deviation from the American political norm. Trump has demonstrated that he *represents* the current American political norm.

my country is in deep trouble. my fellow citizens apparently want leadership based on chaos & division.
four generations of my family have taken that same oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; [to] bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and [to] obey the orders of the President of the United States”. however, none of us has ever had to face orders from a President who *is* an enemy of our Constitution. 💦

— You choose Trump.
— I never supported Trump
— You are active on Twitter/X, which is a way to support his platform.
— I wanted to convince people there!
— With skewed algorithms? Seriously? Who are you kidding?
— I couldn’t leave, all my community was there.
— That’s what I said: not decreasing your followers count was more important than protecting democracy. You made that choice.

Thank you Mastodon and the Fediverse for being an example of communicating without billionaires and US venture capitalists calling the shots. We're going to need more of this.

I think it's going to be more important than ever that #Mastodon and the #fediverse are not centrally operated out of the US unlike almost every other social media platform out there.

It baffles me that 67 million Americans can vote for a convicted felon and rapist. In hindsight it's amusing anyone thought there was some kind of blackmail tape someone had on that man. I figure about the only thing that can defeat him is his McDonalds diet at this point.

I feel very smug. You know how backups you have not tested are useless? Well I bought a new SSD and before I install it in it's final location I installed it in my laptop to see if I could restore it from backup.
I can and I've learnt some things about restoring ubuntu systems.
- You better have a USB disk to boot from. If your only computer is toast you can't download one so make sure you already have one.

‘Libbing out’ is the latest irony-fueled coping mechanism
"“Libbing out" is an ironic embrace of mainstream Democratic politics, often by disillusioned young progressives. It is the process of abandoning all cynicism and wholeheartedly accepting the elitist, corporate-owned, deeply out of touch Democratic party, even if only for a moment."
Today, we are all Rachel Maddow. https://www.usermag.co/p/permission-to-lib-out

“Since 1998, election polls in presidential, House, Senate and governor’s races have diverged from the final vote tally by an average of six percentage points… 2022 midterm elections, that average error was 4.8 points… if the polls are underestimating Ms. Harris by 4.8 points in each of the seven swing states, she would win every one of them… If those same polls underestimate Mr. Trump by the same margin, he would win all the battleground states...”
