Last night’s primaries were an emphatic reminder of the enthusiasm for @realdonaldtrump's agenda that is sweeping the nation. President Trump added to his undefeated 73-0 record of candidate endorsements in congressional primary and special elections this cycle. twitter.com/SteveGuest/status/ #Trump #Congress #Election

Me: This is not the hill I want to die on.

Also me: After 2 years of being shamed, publicly smeared, forced out of my home and my city, and socially outcast, a famous person with huge influence finally came out to my side! I really think this has potential to change things.

Well, we're having a conversation, right? And this is how I think things through. I've got my conclusions, but I don't think we'll understand each other unless we think things through.

So CNN is pushing this, why would they do that? The way it's structured, they have the people writing the stories, they republish AP stuff, and then they've got editors, the editors decide which stories run and they revise the stories or ask for revisions.

> there's so many ads on the website

Oh, man, it's a mess.
"The writings of young trans men reveal a group of notably sensitive and clever people. The more of their accounts of gender dysphoria I’ve read, with their insightful descriptions of anxiety, dissociation, eating disorders, self-harm and self-hatred, the more I’ve wondered whether, if I’d been born 30 years later, I too might have tried to transition. The allure of escaping womanhood would have been huge. I struggled with severe OCD as a teenager. If I’d found community and sympathy online that I couldn’t find in my immediate environment, I believe I could have been persuaded to turn myself into the son my father had openly said he’d have preferred."

Is there a way to make muted thread not appear in notifications?

So I went and made a fresh installation of #PopOS 20.04 and it's so much faster already! My previous installation was an #upgrade from 19.10 to 20.04 - is that it, then? Either way, really enjoying it now. #win

@Lainyboy @nerdman @realcaseyrollins @xair Before we do that, we have to ask why you think the US is a monolith. There are a thousand groups of people, all pushing some story. Who is pushing which propaganda, and why?
I hate Twitter's feature of disallowing comments. If you don't want people to discuss something, don't post it.
@Lainyboy @nerdman @realcaseyrollins @xair Yes. In California, you need the parents' permission to get married if you are under 18, and if you are under 16, you need a judge to approve it as well, and I think there are other hoops to jump through. I'm not up on child marriage laws, I don't see too many people marrying children.

I have a love /hate relationship with technology... That phrasing may be too strong. I think that with every technology, it's a trade off. With watches we progressed, but lost things as was mentioned earlier. Everything is like that, isn't it? I'm tapping this out on my smart phone, with which I'm never alone, always tethered, rarely have solitude.

I'm a software developer, I have no microwave. I have a robot vacuum and a reel mower for my yard. I try to be aware and make conscious efforts to think about what the trade off is with technology and make a choice.
