That's part of the problem. I performed burlesque and drag for a decade; we relied on FB and IG to promote shows.

Normally, everything was great. But sometimes event promotion would get flagged as inappropriate, and all of the event details get shadow-banned. Nobody shows up except for friends.

Local (done well) helps communities, small business and effective mutual aid.

We've been talking about local store inventory, ad-hoc delivery, reuse instead of waste, and community emergency response.

Pray-o-Mat by Roger Zelazny from Lord of Light Pray-o-Mat by Roger Zelazny: A device that would offer prayers in exchange for a few coins properly deposited. (Text quote, book citation included.)

I'm sure I've seen at least one Pray-O-Matic in dystopian SF, but I can't remember which....

Zelazny, of course: www.technovelgy.com/ct/content.a...

Sounds like fun, but is it really 2am Sunday morning?

There used to be a weekly session: luma.com/atproto-sea?...

There is a `us-sea` channel in the ATProto : Social Events where we coordinated: discord.com/channels/134...

We've also organized stuff with @internetstudio.bsky.social.

Biggest challenge is organizing a physical location.

"Congress must immediately act" is passive voice.

What are YOU doing?

Where are articles of impeachment? What have you talked to Jeffries about? What is Dem leadership planning? How can WE help?

Without a plan of action, this is just wasted bits and carbon dioxide: Empty rage, signifying nothing.

Being that you put actual in quotes, I suspect you don't really care. But on the off-chance I'm wrong:

- sycophancy
- hallucinations
- the people empowered by all above

Imagine how many people would be alive if Congress had done it’s job after Jan 6.

Imagine how many lives Congress would save if it acted today.

Imagine the countless live lost until Congress does take action.

There are the stupid capitalists, who just jump on the loudest hype they see. And there are the smart capitalists who are born rich and set up all the rug-pulls, insider trading, blackmail, fraud and pyramid schemes.

That ship has sailed, and sunk.

When Congress did nothing substantial after Jan 6, they empowered maniacs who currently run the country.

We just turned out a record protest.

What are you and the Dems doing?

Mostly, it's an American thing.

When I lived in Europe in the 80s, most of the TV shows were American with subtitles.

Except the TV stations in France. They translated everything. Hulk and the A-Team helped me learn French.

And how real-time code was implemented.

I remember hand-coding Z80 NO-OPs so timing on a microwave array management system was perfect.

Willful ignorance is hypocrisy, not atypical.

Holding on to false beliefs in the face of strong evidence to the contrary? That seems very typical to me.

I'm not mad, just disappointed. In him, and his platform to spout nonsense. I expect him to know better.

Not while claiming to be well-educated and self-aware.

Not consistent. Not logical. Not rational. Not based in facts or reality.

So I ask you: What are his invalid presumptions, and how might they be affecting peoples' opinion of him?

- Yes, they've thought of that, and the hypocrisy is another form of trolling: There are no equal rights, only the rights they grant and will quickly remove if you do not bow and scrape before Emperor Donny.

Indiana pi bill - Wikipedia

I have now flaws. No weakness. Not a blemish.

I am as pure and thoughtless of a level plane of bleached white sand.

My intellect is vast and unmarred by complexity or nuance.

Science is not, and has never been, political.

I stand with Indiana: pi = 3.
