@bok Dang. That's hard stuff to deal with, day in and day out. Wishing you strength.

My fedi-sense tells me those were sarcasterisks.

@CountBinface

BIN THE ELECTION!

@oberstenzian @newsguyusa

Or, you know, ignore all those stupid woke safety fake-news ✌️experts✌️ and take all of Team Trump on a much-deserved vacation to overfly Iran.

...you know, to see all the winning we did. It'll be perfectly safe. They surrendered, right? 🧐

@AutisticInnovator Bureaucracy is often quite neurodivergence-unfriendly, ask me how I know :-/

@eclectech
Bin the establishment.
Bin for the win.

A new philanthropic initiative called Intercept has launched with $500 million to develop preventative products (a shot, a nasal spray or pill) in combination with air-cleaning technologies to combat colds, flu, RSV, coronaviruses and other respiratory viruses. The goal is to push at least two products through Phase 2 trials, while building real-world evidence for filtration, UVC and other clean-air tools in schools, offices and public transport. https://blog.interceptfund.com/p/ending-respiratory-infections

@bridget I loathe printers, ive done cannon, hp, epson, and my last printers was a Brother B/W laser printer. They all commune with the prince of darkness. Have hopes with this new open source go.

@Prometheus @bridget

I wanna know where one would get the ink for this...

If it can use alcohol-based ink (that doesn't run if it gets wet), then I am definitely interested in this. (Otherwise, I'm only probably interested.)

Librarians removing AI from phones and teaching people they have a choice. Not political. Just information literacy, same as fighting book bans. The real work was always about helping people think critically.
