these three raised fists are for

  • Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson
  • Stacey Abrams
  • Vice President Kamala Harris

Holy crap this is endgame. The head of the judicial body is too concerned about the feelings of the body?

So, just logically. I have a personal commitment and value to something. And somebody gets mad at me about it. My values and commitment should be able to withstand that? Yes? As soon as someone has a different opinion it's like "I can't bear to hear a different opinion (clutches pearls) and I can't stand to have my opinion critiqued"

For you and me and the lady in the checkout line (and I say that as a lady who is often in checkout lines), that's great. But this is the head of the judicial body of one of the most powerful nations - most powerful democracies - on earth. These are opinions that shape the lives of 300 million people at least. And he's gonna be there for another quarter of a century.

Like how many steps is Roberts from a kind of de facto chilling effect, and I'm not trying to be funny

Thank God for the generations who hear a public figure try to corral or control a situation and then begin to act in doing the exact opposite. Definitely need to remind the conservative justices that there are people out here

End rant (for now)

Agreed. I was thinking about reposting it in my little magazine and thought that was overkill. But now I'm re-thinking it ...

"could have been on it" ... but without confirming exactly who made the invitation. Interesting. He's about to be asked publicly why he declined.

This whole thing is just so sad. How dare he take a vessel that had not been verified safe at those depths.

the safari iOS experience is not great

I have an inner critic that I'm trying to understand. It's a part of me protecting me from risk/vulnerability. My plan/hope is to appreciate that the critic is trying to protect me and also not have the last word. It's hard. I've been in therapy forever, but that's OK.

I believe editing words is its own special kind of hell, lol. Having to come back and look at some thing you wrote is ... I'm trying to find a way to make that not be a drag and I haven't found it yet.

dig it, works great

Going a little bit different direction than some of the other responses, I feel like hash-tagging (wait that's called something else now...?) content is important in helping people to find you in searching. And I'm thinking of search as a particularly important function as platforms like this are growing.

I see posts that are heavily (15 or more) tagged.... that may not even qualify as "heavily" out here in the fediverse, just something new to me.

Been thinking about this a little bit and how I can personally lean into it versus my own insecurities. So this is a way for me to exercise self-promotion.

It’s so hilarious/fortunate/sad that that was the name of the file. We will never find the others now.

They could save a ton of time and money by going straight to the criminal trial before all of the assets disappear

So they will do exactly the opposite of what would save time and money

cough Meta cough

... so I could host an instance with a magazine that is essentially a digest of federated instances, and I can add/remove based on whatever aligns with my principles?

I don't think I have that right, sorry but if you could explain it a little differently, I'm still trying to understand how the fediverse is.

I think I'd say some thing kind of like no two are the same in a way. And by that I mean that each one has a little bit different technique. So that a bad experience with one might be because the vape itself is a piece of crap, or because of a technique issue.

All of that said, it is definitely worth the patience, worth it to your health, to vape instead of smoke though. So be willing to try a couple of different techniques when it comes to packing, or when it comes to how you inhale, to get the most out of the experience

In here, I should stand on my creativity, not on my consumption.

This is so great. I need this reframe.

hoping this isn’t leading to a sewer opening or sketchy van uh….sure…?

If you are on mobile, there may not be? That dialogue at the bottom of the page I think it's supposed to be in a sidebar

In one of the settings there are a lot of menus / side bars that you can turn on that are off by default, it took some digging for me this morning to put all of that together

The mobile browser experience especially on iOS is not great but I know an app is coming

Oh, is that where it supposed to be? Spent a very frustrated first 30 minutes trying to figure out how to reply to any OP.

I would def like to see more themes, but at least for iOS in Safari and chrome there are 2 light, 2 dark, and 1 sepia themes which is awesome

I can't remember exactly what page it was on, maybe settings at the bottom?

RadioShack

Oh wow, that took me back. Had to google when they closed.

Also here's a great post about a search engine that searches across kbin, mastodon and lemmy

https://kbin.social/m/fediverse/t/52753/I-created-a-site-that-helps-people-search-the-fediverse

Also it's tricky

If people are mostly mastodon-based, you want to follow them as people

But on kbin content you probably are better off following the magazines / articles that people create, rather than the people who create them? thoughts?

yo that's niiiice

Kamala Harris!!

Interested kbin peeps - @fact_check_this

fwiw the desktop experience is tons better. under settings, make sure you turn infinite scroll off, so you can finally see where you are. happy hunting.

that would be great

surely someone will @ him on twitter (if he's there?)

I dig it here so far

Here in kbin you have to know the whole long address

The @ of the person do you want to follow

The full @ of the mastodon server
