Today's Low Quality Ad is for this Become Ungovernable Patch. Throughout history, nations have tried to conquer Antarctica countless times. Each time, they failed. The penguins made sure of that.

You couldn't stop rambling and interrupting in one meeting, so we were late for the meeting *you* set up. Genius.

20 members of Congress are finally speaking out for Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee who’s now spent more than a year in an ICE camp.

He was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when they detained him.

He’s been denied his prosthetics, placed in solitary & his health is declining.

Please make noise for Rodney. He’s suffered for so long.

It’s time to get him out.

AR Moxon, nailing it again…
“This is the discourse about what is commonly called the male loneliness epidemic, which is a problem, usually one that is presented as something for the rest of us to solve on behalf of lonely men. If we don't solve it, we're usually warned, we will be at fault for whatever these men do next, in retaliation for not having their problem solved.
There's apparently nothing the lonely men themselves can do, I've noticed. They've apparently tried everything already. It's up to us.”

Mastodon hive mind, assemble!

Best free AI detection for text. Please reply and/or boost. Thank you!

Edit: background: someone gave me some writing that supposed to be their thoughts to begin a collaboration and my spidey sense says it's at least partially AI. One tool puts it at over 90% AI, another in the 20s. I know that it's just not right whatever the source, but I want some idea of how confident I can be. I understand that AI detection is this decade's version of spam detection.

I have been looking for a hobby to keep me from doomscrolling. This was half done and in an op shop so I modified and finished it. #embroidery #crossstitch

Cross stitch in an embroidery frame on a lace tablecloth. Main design is a pink rose but down the side I have added “This too shall pass but WTF”

I am not the first person to point out that a “Luddite” isn’t someone who hates tech — they hated the EXPLOITATION OF PEOPLE by capital through the use of tech. Too many of my peers are on the wrong side of that and a lot of us are watching and making notes and will remember.

🎵🎶
Redacting himself from the pedo files
Shitting his diaper, you smell him for miles
Bowel-shaking earthquakes of reason and fact
Abuse him, confuse him, but fail to connect
He's bullying trans kids with a petulant sulk
Rich from a guy who buys foundation in bulk
Cause he's lying, and whining, incredibly dense
And trying to hang his ex-VP Mike Pence
The stocks have gone down and the prices gone up
And Bondi's in charge of the huge cover-up
But he's lying and crying, and slurring his words
And reeking of meth and four-day-old turds

He's rigging the SYSTEM
He's drowning in MEMES
He's on the phone (on the phone)
On the phone planning world war THREE
Because he's lying and whining
And bombing the boats
He's drifting and grifting
And stealing all our votes
He's rigging the SYSTEM

No medal, no trophy, no nobel peace prize
He's never done a day of hard work in his life
Just sulking and slouching through day after day
All because he didn't get his little tiny dick way
Cause his mind is still struggling with cause and effects
And he sharted a hole in the Resolute Desk
And he's lying and whining and slurring his words
And he's reeking of meth and four-day-old turds

He's rigging the SYSTEM
He's always on SPEED
He's on the phone (on the phone)
On the phone planning world war THREE
Because he's lying and whining
And bombing the boats
He's drifting and grifting
And stealing all our votes
He's whining and crying
And bombing the boats
And he's drifting and grifting
And stealing all our votes
He's rigging the SYSTEM

I laughed out loud at this response.

Bedford Borough Council original post: 
Wishing Bedford Borough a Happy Lent, the period of 40 days
when many Christians may choose to give up certain luxuries
and make space to reflect, pray, and read the Bible to prepare
for the celebrations of Easter.

Reply: 
Funny you put Ramadan and eid up first. Its a
Christian country first and foremost.


Response from the original poster: 
Ramadan began on February 17. That is why
we put our Ramadan message on social media
yesterday.

Lent began today, which is why our Lent
message went on social media one day later.

The date of Lent is determined by the church
calendar, rooted in the decisions of the Council
of Nicaea (325 AD).

The official start of Ramadan traditionally
depends on the sighting of the new crescent
moon.

Bedford Borough Council holds no authority
over the Council of Nicaea and was not
responsible for the creation of the moon
4.53 billion years ago.

@kevinrns @gwync I've seen Trump convicted on 34 felony counts, and before that, indicted for keeping classified documents in his bedroom, and before that impeached... twice.

Arresting assholes is the easy part. Let me know when Pedo Andy is sentenced and in jail.

Maybe he'll rat out the other pedos?

@gwync

Good point. And South Korea just sentenced its former President to life for trying a coup, Brazil just did too.

I think that's what we all need to talk about today, Andrew, Belasaro, Yoon Suk Yeol and Trump.

Go to jail time for the Epstein Class.
