Watch: Trump Fumbles Big-Time Trying to Attack Kamala Harris

At his first rally since President Joe Biden endorsed Harris for the candidacy, Trump attempted to give his “radical” new opponent his full attention—but he couldn’t seem to muster the specifics necessary to actually attack her policies.

At one point, he appeared to mix her up with another Indian female politician.

“And you know, they’re talking about, he was talking about, she was talking about re—lifting the retirement age,” Trump said. Only, that policy is not part of Harris’s platform. It was a part of Haley’s, though.

A judge has rejected an effort by GOP lawmakers to use the term “unborn human being” to refer to a fetus in a pamphlet for Arizona voters. The guide will be used by voters weighing a ballot measure that would expand abortion access in the state.

anyway, i think expecting mastodon to have any safety features worth a shit when they can't even implement account blocking safely is probably a tall order

mcc 4 months ago • mastodon (AP)

it is very interesting to me that when i hear people talk about the benefits of bluesky they often hone in on "the blocking features are really good" and i'm thinking "at a protocol level blocks on bluesky don't work but somehow this isn't filtering down into the user experience"

Ariadne Conill 🐰:therian: 4 months ago • mastodon (AP)

i am not comparing to bluesky.

mastodon's implementation of blocks literally violates the activitypub spec, because it federates *the block*, rather than the *side effects* of the block.

which is the worst possible thing you can do when you are providing an anti-harassment tool, because *the block* becomes a signal to the harasser that their account is burned and they need to switch to a new account to continue the harassment.

the right thing to do is to federate the side effects (e.g. unfollow) and then send inbound messages to /dev/null.

but the mastodon developers live in a fantasy world where they believe remote servers can be trusted to enforce things that the server owner doesn't want.

To assign seats or not to assign seats… #Southwest is axing its open seating policy. This quote from the article is weird though; open seating is like Lord of the Flies? Do we demand assigned seating on a bus? And if you don’t think getting on a domestic flight is like getting on an air bus,well…Airbus. #aviation #boeing #airbus #travel

iPhone touch screen failing??

I have this weird thing where some parts of the screen suddenly stop working. I can't scroll or tap on it. Or sometimes it stuck "down", and when I tap elsewhere it acts like it's a multitouch.

Initially I thought it was a cleaning issue, but if I tap the power button off and on, everything is fine until the next time.

It's not the same region, but usually the bottom half (which obviously gets more use).

Searching for info is hard...all broken screen reports.

Has anyone heard of anything similar?

Trump ally who denies 2020 election results threatens law enforcement
 Patrick Byrne, former CEO of Overstock, said officials would face ‘a piano wire and a blowtorch’ if a case against a former Colorado elections official continues.

Patrick Byrne,
who has funded efforts to undermine the results of the 2020 election,
said in an online forum Thursday that
law enforcement would face “a piano wire and a blowtorch”
if they did not drop a case against an ally.
 Byrne, a former CEO of online retailer Overstock,
used the phrase half a dozen times Thursday as he participated in a nearly three-hour-long event on X Spaces.

His remarks came amid heightened worries about political violence,
and he acknowledged during the event that his references to strangling or blowtorching officials were threatening and could be considered felonies.

On Friday, he downplayed his comments, saying he had been speaking metaphorically and is committed to peace.
