I honestly don't understand why people waited so I don't use mastodon but I did cancel my Twitter account literally the first week he bought it. It wasn't hard to see this coming and I just don't get the delay.

Yes perfect, thank you for this. I literally majored in Linguistics but didn't even think of this because school was so long ago. The ability to code switch where someone could use the professional language while governing but colloquialisms and everyday language while giving public statements would be nice, to be better understood. We all understand basic informal American English but not everyone has a great education.

Yes, amen, thank you. Abortion beat Harris by 20 points in my state! Clearly there are a lot of Trump voters who are with us on some things and we need to find to common ground to build a bridge and connect us so we can fix this. That common ground is pretty freaking obvious since 99% of us have one thing in common. But Nancy Pelosi has already said no so you need to fall in line and do what she tells you.

If you're uneducated and someone is speaking more formally it can be, depending on the topic and the word choice.

He tax an was tweaked with a more pro corporation lean on the advice of her brother I law Tony West and probably others but all the articles on that are behind paywalls and I don't really care enough about convincing you to look for a way to bypass them.

As for Trump's abortion ban and things like that, I remember her saying it because she said it. https://www.instagram.com/kamalaharris/reel/DBz9j1zquQx/

She stoped supporting single payer, she backed off worker rights, she backed off on taxing corporations, and a huge part of the platform was against Trump's abortion ban and against Trump's authoritarism.

They have got to stop talking down to voters, gaslighting voters, and they need to give people something to vote FOR instead of against. I find Kamala to be a good speaker and easy to understand but people saying she's using word salad...at first I didn't get what that was all about, especially when Trump makes absolutely no sense whatsoever but I think I might get it now. She's talking to well educated people but a huge swath of this country is not well educated, uses social media extensively, and maybe it actually does sound like word salad to them when democrats start using words that normal people never use and probably don't understand. If you never went to college and only graduated high school because standards have been reduced, maybe she kind of sounds like an alien sometimes. They need an economic message that speaks to people who have been getting crushed more and more since the 80s and they need to say it in terms we can all understand. And when voters tell them "this is how I feel" for the love of God they need to stop saying "no you don't".

A Nine-Bun-Bun spokesbun asked that all bunnies please remain calm and thump if you feel that you are in danger. Hoomans are asked to provide extra treats and pets during this scary time.

You awesome people were so responsive to the picture of Tommy that I posted yesterday so I was hoping some of you might be able to chime in with your IBS experiences because he has it and none of my cats have before. I got Tommy a few months ago. He had been surrendered after having crystals and was eating prescription food for that. He had diarrhea however and tested negative for parasites. It sounded like the vet only even bothered testing for parasites because he had been in a shelter, I guess it isn't normally seen in this area with normal housecats. Anyways there was some intermittent improvement with an antibiotic so the vet changed him to a food that is safe for crystals but designed for ibs. He was fine within 2 days of starting this food but the last 2 days I could hear his tummy gurgling and now he has diarrhea again. He hasn't eaten anything off diet except for hay, which I think he got into because his tummy already wasn't feeling well. FWIW I'm calling the vet when they open to leave a message and get his Dr's thoughts, but wanted to also see if anyone else has had this experience. Is it common with cats who need prescription food for digestive issues to improve then relapse? Will this probably be something he just goes through every once in a while? I do know that my sister's cats eat a different food (same brand but different prescription formula) for diarrhea and she finds some every once in a while and then they seem fine again.

I would argue that firing them seems like a pretty strong political statement.

I'm thinking at least the landlord is probably pretty cool.

Ahhh but I don't have enough cancer yet :( On a serious note, sometimes people shit talk California but they have a massive economy and when they do things like this it has a huge positive benefit for the entire country. Most companies will just reformulate instead of having California specific products so everyone benefits.

A crowd full of Republicans started to boo.

Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley went so far as to venture, “Climate change is real.”

Is this article from The Onion? Or am I like on candid camera or something? They believe in climate change now and are against it?

So let me get this straight, the lawyer Trump gave him turned out to only be looking out for Trump? And he turned state's witness when he got a real lawyer and figured out how effed he was? Wow, what a crazy world.

However, Clover wants every hooman to know the signs of overheating so you can render aid to a hot bunny ASAP. Clover says she was shaking really hard and her ears were super hot during the incident. The hooman put an ice pack on her and turned on the AC. In a pinch, Clover says the hooman also could have sprayed her ears with a little water and then blown a fan over them.

There's a new one suddenly popping up in my feed but obviously the reports are being "resolved" by the mods of that community. They suggested to me that I block their community but I will not because that is how you get a cesspit of an instance. How do we report disinformation communities straight to the admins?

Edit: the admins did remove the community in question so I'm going to take that as the official stance on disinformation communities and also assume that any type of community (right wing, left wing, or other) that are intentionally spreading disinformation will be removed. That makes me feel much better about the situation since this type of thing is pretty much guaranteed to pop up again.

The statement, written by Ben Fullahay and signed by his life partner Wally, was short and to the point. "Listen, we know everybun already supports nanners but we just want everybun to know we support them too, capish?"
