Scott the F is implicit Baxter<p>I used to think that Stupid Vs Evil would end the Republican party - rich smart people tricking idiots with wedge issues into voting GOP against their own interests.<br>But as someone recently posted, porque non los dos?<br>It seems like stupid won and is dragging capital around with a nose ring, but somehow the say-anything-for-tax-cuts people are hanging in there.<br><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/StupidVsEvil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StupidVsEvil</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/GOP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GOP</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/RandomThoughts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RandomThoughts</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a></p>

RationizedInsanity🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦🇨🇦🇬🇱🇵🇸<p>I have a horrible idea, so you shouldn't listen to it, some <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/democrat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>democrat</span></a> with too much money -</p><p>We should make shock ads, like the messed up driving ones that gave me PTSD as a child against <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/maga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>maga</span></a> like:</p><p>"SOLIDERS, if you support <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trump</span></a> this will be YOUR FUTURE," Then show a bunch of completely messed up, not glorified at all cinematics of soldiers being horrifically mangled in war, not glorified at all.</p><p>Or a concentration camp with political dissident Americans.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/humor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>humor</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>politics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/randomthoughts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>randomthoughts</span></a></p>
Resistanzki<p>Das Problem was Viele mit dem Fediverse zu haben scheinen, sind nicht die ALT-Texte. </p><p>Man kann hier nur nicht einfach halbwahren Bullshit posten, ohne ASAP eine kritische Richtigstellung verpasst zu bekommen oder der Post wird zumindest in Frage gestellt. Das „Live fact checking“ funktioniert hier ziemlich gut. Nicht immer, aber oft. </p><p>Mag sein, dass das manchmal etwas ruppig geschieht, scheint aber für Einige ein Problem zu sein. Also deren - nicht unseres. <a href="https://glasgow.social/tags/randomthoughts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>randomthoughts</span></a></p>
Book<p>I printed out bunches of digital art today at the self-service photomat thing in the pharmacy. It's far, far cheaper than getting them printed at an art place. </p><p>I sent the files via Bluetooth and edited lightly to get the best wall-art versions I could.</p><p>"What size would you like each image? 4x6, 6x8, 8x10,..."</p><p>These sizes seemed smol to me so I asked for help. The person there explained these were in inches. This is the first time since coming to the UK where metric wasn't only the sole option, but there were no mentions of metric at all.</p><p>I had to do math to get my 'photos' printed the way I wanted them. </p><p>I don't know what to do with this information so now you have it. </p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/RandomThoughts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RandomThoughts</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/MastoArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MastoArt</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/DigitalArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalArt</span></a></p>

RationizedInsanity🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦🇨🇦🇬🇱🇵🇸<p>I started wearing a beanie in all my videos, and completely eliminated one of the only insults I was regularly getting by <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/maga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>maga</span></a> sheep, who usually just called me bald and told me to go get Rogaine or something.</p><p>They use the generic ones, calling me a beta, or calling me gay.

RationizedInsanity🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦🇨🇦🇬🇱🇵🇸<p>Salvation Army is good for the soul.</p><p>A place where they have endless amounts of clothing my size, because I am tall and skinny unlike most Americans so they pile up, because nobody buys them.</p><p>A place where pants don't cost 60-100 dollars for absolutely NO REASON.</p><p>I bought a pair of really nice skinny jeans today, and they cost 15 dollars, and actually cost 5 dollars, because someone left a 10 in the pocket.</p><p>I got tacos with the ten.</p><p>Good days!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/humor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>humor</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/thrifting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>thrifting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/luck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>luck</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/randomthoughts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>randomthoughts</span></a></p>

Carlos Rodrigues 🪣<p>This "Studio Ghibli" craze is a good example of how generative AI destroys (economic and cultural) value.</p><p>In a few weeks, when people get bored/sick of the memes, what would have become of the art style that those folks in Japan spent decades perfecting? And what does that mean for any future work they'll produce?</p><p>We've already seen this with several illustration styles, which have become synonymous with no-value AI slop even when drawn by a human hand.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/randomthoughts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>randomthoughts</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ai</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>enshittification</span></a></p>
Fi<p>More random ramblings before I disappear into my bubble for the day. </p><p>I have loads of shitty things going on in my life just now, especially health wise, you all know that, I'm not exactly quiet about it 😉 The state of the world right now is terrifying, looking at the news its hard not to just give up and think what is the damn point. A relentless avalanche of fear and misery. </p><p>But. </p><p>I am still finding lots of good things. So here is a list, sort of. </p><p>1. Lots of bees and butterflies in the garden. </p><p>2. The trees are starting to bud again, everything is coming back to life after a long grey winter. </p><p>3. I have a bench to sit on and enjoy the brighter days (yes, I had to mention that again). </p><p>4. I got a flyer through the door yesterday for a garden centre, which allows me to get a free pack of bedding plants. </p><p>5. Despite being a short, fat, broken potato, I can still do the splits even if its a really bad idea - actually, maybe that one shouldn't be on the list of good things 😂</p><p>6. I have a roof over my head, food in the kitchen, a huge pile of books and lots of craft stuff to keep me busy. </p><p>7. I am lucky enough to have some wonderful friends, especially on here, just in case I haven't mentioned it, you lovely folks absolutely rock and get me through the shite times. </p><p>8. I have a theatre trip next week, while I have some apprehension about it, I am looking forward to being back in Glasgow for the day. </p><p>9. I still find the strength to giggle and be silly with the child each day, that right there is a damn good reason to keep going. </p><p>10. Its race week. </p><p>So many of the things listed are mundane, little things but they still give me a spark of joy. Moments of joy don't need to be huge things, they can just be those little things that make you pause and smile for a second. More than ever, I think we all need to find those moments.</p><p>Thank you, as ever, for reading my random thoughts, you may continue with your day 😊</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/RandomThoughts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RandomThoughts</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/GoodThings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GoodThings</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Joy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Joy</span></a></p>
Book<p>You know when you're having a midnight snack and a chilli flake gets stuck in the back of your mouth, and a small cough send it up your schnozz, and it becomes a whole ordeal?</p><p>Yeah, me too.
