@dmitry @ricardoharvin If they only use one tactic to undermine the whole election, then people can point to it and say "see, if they hadn't done *that* then the election would have gone differently".

If they try ten different things, where no individual one on its own is sufficient to change the outcome, but any six would be - then any time discussion focuses on one tactic, they can deflect by saying "oh come now, any effect from that was too small to change the outcome anyway, get over it".

@colorblindcowboy @skinnylatte @albnelson totally - as visual impairment is not something to mock someone over and also a good reason someone shouldn't be driving, so dementia is not something to mock someone over and also a good reason someone shouldn't be governing a country.

I mean, Trump shouldn't have been governing a country all along but that's because he's a terrible person.

@chrismerkel @TechConnectify Worth finding time to watch the second half.

@TechConnectify The first 3/4 or whatever was mostly stuff I kind of knew - not the specific figures and examples you give - exactly how much more energy would be available just from converting fields growing corn for ethanol fuel into solar fields, for example.

And then the second part. Fantastic. Blistering. Thank you and from Canada I wish you and all Americans of good conscience success and safety.

@mcc Some people cook just to have something to eat, others cook with enough focus and interest to make it a hobby.

I guess maybe I can imagine someone so into sleeping it's a hobby. Like, they have multiple beds and sets of pajamas for different kinds of sleep, and a sleep notebook to keep track of their sleeps, and maybe subscriptions to journals on sleep research.

OK now I've made this type of person up I kind of want to meet one and listen to them infodump about sleep.

@PizzaDemon @futurebird if he's punched a hole in the drywall at some point he's probably named Kyle. Otherwise probably not.

@FediTips
Your account will only be bridged to Bluesky if you *follow* the bridgy account.

If you have followed it in order to have your account bridged and have now changed your mind, you need to block it. If you have never followed it, blocking it is unnecessary.

@JMarkOckerbloom @Ulmo @heidilifeldman that does seem like the endgame of the nonsensical fear mongering about non-citizens voting plus "mail-in ballot fraud" plus ICE targeting community gathering places - make non-white people afraid to show up at the polls and unable to vote without showing up at the polls.
