#introduction I couldn't stay away from @stux so I'm back here on mstdn.social.
You know me- I like #retrogaming and #retrocomputing even more than making new fedi accounts. Modern #gaming? Sure it's ok, but the old stuff is where it's at.
I watch a minimum of one #horror movie a week. Saturdays are my horror movie and popcorn day.
Birds are precious and are to be protected at all costs. They're the barometer for our planet.
Importantly, it touches not just on the value of the presence of #information from from election campaigns, it reflects on the (negative) value of the absence of information.
"[T]he US government is...trying to break up #Google, the largest #tech#company in the history of the world, and there has been virtually no press about it.
" #Biden's comms team isn't bragging about the administration's accomplishments, because the senior partners in this coalition oppose those accomplishments. They don't want to win an #election based on the promise to prosecute an anti-corporate revolution, because they are counter-revolutionaries."
This seems like an act of revenge on the part of #KristiNoem because some of the tribes in South Dakota have banned her from their lands. Personally, I think the faculty members have a good case for violation of #FreeSpeech...
"The policy is billed by the board as a simple branding and communications policy. It came only months after Republican Gov. Kristi Noem sent a letter to the regents that railed against '#liberal ideologies' on college campuses and called for the board to ban #DragShows on campus and 'remove all references to preferred pronouns in school materials,' among other things."

"A new South Dakota policy to stop the use of gender pronouns by public university faculty and staff in official correspondence is also keeping #NativeAmerican employees from listing their tribal affiliations in a state with a long and violent history of conflict with tribes.
"Two University of South Dakota faculty members, Megan Red Shirt-Shaw and her husband, John Little, have long included their gender pronouns and tribal affiliations in their work email signature blocks. But both received written warnings from the university in March that doing so violated a policy adopted in December by the South Dakota Board of Regents.
"'I was told that I had 5 days to remove my tribal affiliation and pronouns,' Little said in an email to The Associated Press. 'I believe the exact wording was that I had ‘5 days to correct the behavior.’ If my tribal affiliation and pronouns were not removed after the 5 days, then administrators would meet and make a decision whether I would be suspended (with or without pay) and/or immediately terminated.'"
