I used to run links.dartboard.social, but decided it was too much work for a single user instance.

I microblog at @knova@lostcreek.social.

  • Oof, you are 100% describing the fight I got into with my mother in law earlier this year. She is one of those “unintentional racists” (I’m sure she tells herself that to feel better), but when I tried to educate her on why what she said wasn’t cool she got massively defensive.



  • I literally see voters saying the Democrats were too left leaning, jfc.

    I think its important to ask the people saying that to name specific examples of HOW they were too left leaning. People just want to hurt someone now because they are hurt - it doesn’t matter if they are punching left or right, if they perceive something as landing, it makes them feel better.

    I am seeing Liberals online blaming minorities for not showing up when the reality is, across the board Dem voters didn’t show up.


  • I don’t think blaming voters is a good idea. There were signals that people would be more likely to vote for Harris if she, for example, agreed to stop sending arms to Israel (more than the voters she’d lose by doing that). The campaign ignored that… if they tell you what they want and you ignore it that’s kinda on you. Trying to rehab the Republican party (“Country over Party”) instead of going out there and hammering home her policy, how she would make things better for voters… there were lots of mistakes made.


  • And if you look back before fission, modern physics has a pretty well documented history. You can generally start at Maxwell, move forward to the guys who were trying to rectify the predicted speed of light vs observed speed of light, quantum physics, etc. I spent half a year getting real deep into it but you could probably teach the gist of pre-1945 nuclear physics in an afternoon

    I’ve been saying this since last year to my family members on the other side of the political spectrum (some MAGA, some moderate), and I feel like I’ve been saying it til I get blue in the face, but it definitely feels like the MAGA wing of the Republican Party wants to go back to this era of German history ASAP.







  • I know very little about the operating structure of Google, but I wonder how this would work functionally. Doesn’t most of their revenue come from ads? So like you couldn’t have google search’s ad business help to prop up the lines of business that don’t make money (Youtube, chrome development)

    I’m not anti-breakup but I just wonder if this would imperil some of their lines of business. Like would Youtube shove even more ads down your throat post-breakup?
