Trump and his fellow Republicans have been telling us for years that nothing is true and everything is a conspiracy and now they expect us to believe a statement and a photo in the age of AI… http...

I'm about to start running 10,000 miles away from this entire topic

There is ostensibly a "proof-of-life" photo with McConnell and his wife and a very recent news paper with a dateable sports photo

In no order:

1) I can find no evidence that Elaine Chow has returned from China, but there are numerous "“The Senator’s health did not warrant an immediate return to the US,” a spokesperson for Chao told multiple outlets" statements

2) the news paper is oddly placed: it's upside down relative to how McConnell would have it to read, but right-side up for how the photo viewer needs to see it and make sense of it

3) after all McConnell was said to have been through initially, he looks god-damn good in the photo of "today"

Finally the initial AP statement could have been ghost-written by me and still be no "proof-of-life"

Dateable POL video only, or don't waste my time with it any more

I came to Mastodon's Toad Social on 1 December 2002 after deleting my Twitter account the day Elon Musk took over there. Since that time unti today, I remember receiving notices of perhaps two posts ...

I'm now on my fourth instance since November 2, 2022

I'm betting some #ImportantMastodonInfluencer complained to your instance's moderators and called in a few IOUs

I've found #Mastodon #Moderation to be opaque, ill-defined, highly subjective, and utterly without any second-chance recourse

To look at your instance, it's very small (201 monthly active users) and apparently entirely the property of one individual who I shall leave unnamed

And see: "Thoughtful participation and discussion welcome."

All of which means nothing, depending on who calls the shots

Good luck with it...

I got shut down from #bluesky. I’m not sure if it was because I was building a nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpqcugydnuktk7t7sh6x9hag64uuyhdyjt3hvthvy4dt9lkkkys7xmq7505gk feed ...

I wouldn't assume too much about #Bluesky this morning

Been an outage on-and-off for at least 12 hours

"Some systems down

We are investigating an incident with service in one of our reginos

"Do you find that you see any of those things, without clear content warnings, on the fediverse?"

Yes

@nprofile1q... dot Social is a cesspool (my pejorative) of full contact gay sex

And fuck (no pun) your CW

Why do I want to waste my finite screen space on content I never have any intention of viewing?

Put it on one specific instance, which I will immediately Mute, Block, and Domain Block

Consent is key?

Keep it in your bedroom

Or wherever you perform

"It made me ponder why people do not share sex-related content, when sex is clearly part of life for many (but not all) people."

OK

"...when sex is clearly part of life for many (but not all) people."

Sex is a part of life for many, but not *everywhere*

Do I want to see a full-contact, erect male penis engaged in full contact homosexual sex on #Mastodon?

No

No I do not

Do I want to see the entirety of the female genitalia, open and exposed, on Mastodon?

No

No I do not

If I want either I'll go to #PornHub, which I won't

Executive summary: your sexuality and your sex life is *not* a spectator sport anywhere you want to be on display

Deal with it

And I meant every word I wrote

You might want to fine-tune your social antennae and direct it at yourself occasionally

As to "any other response" how about no response?

Rise above, ya know?
