Do you think bleeping swear words on tv is good or bad?

@randahl It's mainly a sign that the scriptwriters (or ad-libbing actors) need to expand their vocabulary. The same goes for music... Saint Bob's "Positively 4th Street" is twice as vicious as Lily Allen's "Fuck You" without anything in it needing bleeped.

@randahl that said, it's a depressing sign of the state of the English-speaking world that "fuck" is considered obscene but "kill" isn't.

The question we have to ask ourselves is not whether we condemn Hamas, but whether we condemn a settler colonial regime that makes armed struggle necessary for survival.

Today the Israelis bombed a school in Gaza, causing 32 fatalities. Another 32 murdered by Bibi the Butcher. If George Washington had done anything of that nature, I'd hold him in the same extreme contempt that I do Netanyahu.

@ElleGray That sign is crying out for help in the only way it can...

Was just recommending :mastodon: to a journalist friend, who was concerned about the Orwellian state of social media and the rise of silencing opinions that don't suit the hasbara, only to receive this sad notification from Mastodon dot NZ. 🤔 No doubt this post will eventually be taken down too.

@randahl @jeremy_pm I'm staying here. This place seems to have become the default landing place for Kiwis escaping Xitter* to dip their toes into and to either stay here and find somewhere more narrowly focussed. This isn't a massive operation - I understand it's a server in someone's garage or shared working space and everyone's a volunteer. My guess is: someone just fucked up and something needs to get un-fucked-up.

pronounced: X as in Xi Jinping, itter as in Twitter.

🌈❀🛼 70s ⍟🎙🌈

Candy came from out on the Island
In the back room she was everybody's darling
But she never lost her head
Even when she was giving head

She says, "Hey, babe
Take a walk on the wild side"

🍷 Lou Reed - Walk on the Wild Side + Rusty Nail🍸

Post often • share • make some friends

Video with still of Lou Reed album cover. Name a more diverse decade than the 70s

@flexghost @cbrines @maisiesummers Geography is what it is. This is our revenge for getting charged twice as much as anyone else for buying things on line. Suck it up, buttercup.

@jeffowski Guy's obviously not bright enough to figure out that it's not a good idea to deploy chemical weapons against children while showing to the cameras a very identifiable forearm tattoo.
