@leolaporte.me @lisalaporte.bsky.social @mikahsargent.com My twit.social Mastodon account was suspended with no explanation after I was targeted for a pro #LGBTQ post. Sent an appeal & 2 emails- no reply. As a longtime TWiT fan I'm devastated. Years of connections-gone. I deserve at least a response
Hello Leo & team My twit.social Mastodon account (sezduck@twit.social) was suspended yesterday & I'm not sure why. No reason was given, & I hadn't violated any of the server rules. I've been a TWiT fan & listener since the Cottage days. I was a Club TWiT member for a while (had to cancel due to financial constraints). Not sure if this has anything to do with the suspension: About a week ago, I posted a pro-LGBTQ meme on twit.social & was subsequently targeted by users from other servers. It seemed to be an orchestrated hate-speech campaign that started when one user linked to my post with a "call to action" for other users. I received dozens of replies from these users telling me to kill myself & calling me slurs. I don't know if this is related to my suspension, but I'm the victim not the perpetrator. I did not engage with any of these hate-speech trolls. I reported the first few & blocked the servers for all of them. As a long-time TWiT fan & supporter, I'm devastated. Can you please re-enable my account asap? I don't want to lose all the connections I made over the years. I'm disheartened by the suspension of my twit.social account without explanation - and the lack of response to appeals - in a situation that amounts to punishing a person for supporting the LGBTQ community... As I said, my account was likely suspended after I was targeted by hate-speech trolls for my pro-LGBTQ post. I was targeted by an orchestrated hate-speech campaign - then my account was suspended without explanation or response. That doesn't align with what I understood to be the values of Leo & TWiT. I don't have the option of migrating my account to a new server. Mastodon allows me to download an archive, but migration is not available for suspended accounts. I've lost 5+ years of connections. I've been a loyal fan & supporter of TWiT for a decade and a half. I discovered TWiT back in 2010 and listened to The Tech Guy until Leo retired from radio. I regularly listened to / watched iPad/iOS Today, the TWiT roundtable, TWiG, and MacBreak Weekly. I frequently supported TWiT sponsors. I've bought TWiT merch. I had a Club TWiT subscription simply because I wanted to see the network survive through difficult times. I would really appreciate if you could do me the courtesy of providing a response.

From #StarTrek The Original Series, specifically from the episode titled “Spock’s Brain.” It shows the character Kara exclaiming, “Brain and brain! What is brain?” in a moment of confusion and intensity.

This GIF is from The Simpsons, specifically the episode “Treehouse of Horror V” in the “The Shinning” segment. It shows Homer, frozen in a block of ice, with a crazed expression as he thinks, “Urge to kill… rising,” referencing his descent into madness after being isolated and snowed in. This scene is a parody of The Shining and has become a memorable and frequently quoted moment from the series.

I agree. To hoard more money that they (and their children) could ever spend in multiple lifetimes - while others go homeless, hungry, without medical care, etc. is disgusting.
Mastodon posts by Marc A. Godin @quietmarc@kolektiva.social 12/5/24 Someone just said of billionaires "there are good and bad people in all groups" and this is brain-rot. To be a billionaire you have to exploit lots and lots and LOTS of people by stealing their labour, land, tools, and time. It's literally impossible to be a billionaire without exploitation. Just...stop treating rich people like a marginalized demographic. Just stop. You're doing it all wrong.

Everything on the internet is being generated by bots.
Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation sitting at a console aboard the USS Enterprise-D. Data is in his Starfleet uniform, working on the ship's computer system. The console in front of him looks similar to a laptop PC. Bender from Futurama furiously typing on a keyboard. He appears to be working on a computer with a focused and intense expression.

Icy Dead People
Geordi La Forge, a character from Star Trek: The Next Generation, stands in a futuristic room where people appear to have been frozen to death. The room has a cold, eerie blue hue. Geordi, wearing a red and black Starfleet uniform and VISOR, surveys the scene. The frozen individuals are in various poses, captured in the midst of everyday activities before succumbing to the cold.

My nearly empty cup of coffee in a Star Trek themed mug. The handle is in the shape of a Starfleet delta. And the mug itself is the “gold” color of a TOS-era command uniform.

Mental health is sooo important. If you need a day, take a day. Find something to relax you. Bubble bath, nature, writing, painting, etc. Just do it. Adam Danyal tinybuddha.com

Or Armus

#Armus2028 - “Hey, at least it’s a step in the right direction.”
Armus, the evil tar-like sentient entity from Star Trek: The Next Generation, stands ominously in a barren, rocky landscape. Seen in the episode ‘Skin of Evil.’”

Was checking out App Store reviews for Blue Sky and came across this one. This reviewer seems to have a problem with liberals targeting hate groups.

Hey, liberals, why can’t you just leave those poor hate groups alone!?
Review title: too much hate every post is political and its always very liberal, there are far too many posts targeting specific groups of hate.

Came across this on LinkedIn 🤦🏻‍♂️

Thanks to America’s wealth gap, toxic unchecked capitalism, & worker exploitation, this “guide for Americans with $1,000,000” has a very small target audience

Also, I’m sure this is what those that are unemployed & looking for their next job on LinkedIn want to see

#StarTrek #AI #meme
This meme contrasts an AI-generated attempt at a Geordi LaForge meme template, with improvised and exaggerated headgear, against the original, iconic look of Geordi from Star Trek: The Next Generation. The top image shows a creatively exaggerated version of Geordi's visor, made with random objects like cutlery and a banana, while the bottom image depicts the traditional visor that fans recognize. The caption humorously suggests that despite advances in AI, sometimes the original is still the best.
