Is “Starter” referring to who was the initial projected winner at…the beginning of whatever period US elections start? Which to an outsider just looks like “always”?

Tech billionaire votes for his personal financial interests. More news that you already knew about at 11.

So, I would like to know how to use mastodon better. I’ve just been having trouble finding content that I care about. Is it just that the discover feature isn’t great? Or is there a better app for Android I can use that would make things feel more intuitive?

Suggestions for best LED bulbs that are not a waste of money because they were designed to break would be enormously appreciated.

Stephen Graham Jones’ The Only Good Indians was wonderful, and Augusta Bazterrica’s Tender is the Flesh was dystopian nightmare fuel. Both absolutely excellent books.

Wait, you can’t give people food or water if they’re standing in the line? Why the hell not?
And hours in line?? What? Why!

Some days I think “I wonder what life would be if I was a real scientist instead”, and then I see stuff like this and I go back to almost exploding or electrocuting myself in the backyard or garage.
- Comment on The way my daughter's middle school health class classifies drugs is insane. 6 months ago:
Oh, HPPD is definitely a thing, but extraordinarily rare.
I may have misspoke about the brown acid - this was a legit warning resulting from “home-brew chemists” attempting to make their own LSD and failing to create it properly. Most of the supplies back then were direct from Sandoz (Novartis) and basically were being given away to the scientific community for novel testing. Fun stuff.
I’m talking about the hyperbole of “acid flashbacks” which was a narrative introduced to discourage and demonize LSD usage by the political and intellectual opponents of the Nixon administration. “Rots your brain permanently” and all that other garbage.
Turns out regular LSD usage by the “hippie” community and by many people involved in high-level education (particularly college and university professors) was making people feel more connected and empathetic towards one another, and that just didn’t do for the Republicans who needed everyone to fear “the other”.
What they also did with marijuana and heroin, and subsequently with crack cocaine, was truly abhorrent.

Most of the information in the hallucinogenic section is incorrect.
- Comment on How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals 6 months ago:
Hating people never leads to logical outcomes. I’d rather accept that they’ve been somewhat brainwashed and battle against it, than hate my neighbour.
- Comment on In a Violent Nature (2024, dir Chris Nash) 6 months ago:
Yeah, I’d say it was better with an audience for sure. It’d be fine at home, but there’s a handful or two of scenes in the film where the audience reaction just makes it sooo much better

Just watched this at the Calgary Underground Film Festival and it’s a ton of fun. Absolutely phenomenal kill scenes and a cool POV from the killer through most of the movie.
I’m not saying it’s a really great movie, but I am saying it’s got a lot of really great parts and it’s definitely worth watching if you like horror.

For a really good riff on this same idea, I like “How to Lie With Statistics” by Darrell Huff, and it’s all illustrated!
Great, easy to understand breakdown of how statistics can be manipulated.

Imagine still having this dumb of a take in 2024.
When does it become socially acceptable to openly mock conservatives to their face? Can we start treating the children in the room as they selfish, self-centered, filth-spewing morons they’ve proven to be, or are we still going to insist on being polite?

I love my cat and I hate scooping litter, but definitely not a grand worth of either…
