No more "I support the rights of women - who may be people - to choose choicely for herselves, because the right of a woman, to choose a choice, maybe without actually doing so, at least sometimes. Without exception, except if not? PERIOD.
Vote for me in November." messaging.
We have one side saying "Abortion is child sacrifice and Democrats worship Moloch." and the other side that tugs on its collar and goes, "Boy, there sure are a lot of positions and views but the most important thing is to #ChooseChoice and protect a woman's right to #VoteBlue."
To be clear: I will be voting in November and I will continue to vote for the major party candidate that is least a party to this, in every race, fit the rest of my lifetime as a voter, be that my entire life or until The Freedom From Voting Act is tweeted by Emperor Trump III.
But my point here is that I have been doing it, I am doing it, and it is clearly insufficient, even if it is necessary.
It is time... past time... for our leaders to step up and lead.

You can avoid this problem by not participating in right-wing homophobia. Can't remember where you were when you saw The Video if you haven't seen The Video.
I have nothing to say about what Madison Cawthorn's various supposed actions do or do not imply about his sexual orientation because that's completely beside the point, beside any point that matters.
I won't shed a tear if he knocked out of his race for whatever reason...
...but I can't celebrate a political victory for weaponized homophobia and I can't trust anyone else who does celebrate it, much less overtly participates in it.
Exciting web3 news from the crypto world: to address what critics say are the fundamental flaws of blockchain technology, we have put the blockchain itself on the blockchain, creating a new public ledger of infinite power that we call the tesseract-ouroboros or hyperchain.
Transactions that post to a traditional blockchain can take a variable amount of time to settle, depending on things such as the size of the block, the protocol used, transaction volumes, etc.
With a hyperchain, each transaction is settled both instantaneously and infinitely.
That is to say, your coins or other assets are immediately placed in your wallet, ready to be used, but the transaction itself will continue to be processed through the recursive hyperlinks of the tesseract-ouroboros until the end of time.
Thread. And before anyone says "But you could do most of those things in the thread with other legal documents."... the people who wrote marriage bans, wrote them to exclude that possibility. It was about enshrining the not sanctity of marriage but the profanity of queerness.
Under a state's Defense Of Marriage Act, hospitals could be required to ignore a patient's visitation requests and power of attorney. A will or the adoption of one partner's biological child by the surviving partner could be challenged and overturned by a homophobic birth family.
And in many cases, the people who wrote the laws to exclude what they called any semblance of marriage would be among those loudly insisting that the gays were not denied any legal protections because you can do so much with forms and contracts.
A major unresolved security issue in most web3 platforms is that if you just run a lossy compression algorithm on a reverse packet sniff at the same time as a lossless one (only backwards), it reconstructs the private hash of the public key and the public hash of the private key.
If you run both of these values through a basic c-dif rem/ves/dir, then export result through syswin, winamp, and windex (in that order), you gain complete access not just to the wallet being targeted but to every wallet it has ever communicated with. Which is obviously huge.
There is a patch available that will plug this vulnerability, but no one wants to acknowledge the problem, much less fix it, as the patched system will not not be backwards compatible with any assets minted prior to its introduction, which would destroy the crypto resale market.
Today in "two different things can be true at once":
1. Yeah, we've gotta vote in November. And for Democrats. More good things become more possible if we do; more bad things happen worse and faster if we don't.
2. The Democrats need a better message than "vote!"
My brain has a "defensive cringing posture" reflex whenever I tweet something, where my anxiety and ADHD tell me all of the replies I'm going to get that I don't want to. And of course, each of the numbered points in the preceding tweet set off a five alarm Defcon 1 klaxon thing.
But I tell you, between the "What do you mean we gotta vote Democrat they don't own my vote they gotta earn it I have been voting I vote every time and then I get blamed and told to vote more" response and the "What do you mean better message, voting is the most important"...
