Elon Musk just amplified a seriously unhinged thread by pro-Putin wacko Dmitry Medvedev (arguably a war criminal), predicting a fourth Reich in Europe, a civil war in the US, and Musk being elected president in 2023.

You cannot believe how utterly deranged this thread is. It's a jaw-dropper.

If you think rogue companies like that geoengineering one shouldn't just be allowed to profit from releasing junk into the atmosphere with implications for everything from international relations to crop productivity let me tell you about fossil fuel corporations.

As new federated systems go mainstream, we need to ensure we're supporting the humans and organizations behind them. I'm not just talking about Mastodon, Pixelfed, Peertube, and BookWyrm

This update from The #Matrix Foundation is concerning:

We are on notice. The success of the tech we rely on isn't guaranteed just by merit of our use. We need to invest in these projects and communities.

I wonder what Americans have planned for January 6 this year.

White House spokesman Abdullah Hasan states.

"Governor Abbott abandoned children on the side of the road in below freezing temperatures on Christmas Eve without coordinating with any Federal or local authorities. This was a cruel, dangerous, and shameful stunt."

GOP: “We’re not White Christian Nationalists!”

You: Are you white?
GOP: Yes

You: Are you Christian?
GOP: Yes

You: Do you support ‘America First’ nationalism?
GOP: Yes

GOP: “But we’re not White Christian Nationalists!”

Light needs about 8 min 20 sec to reach us from the Sun which is 147 million km away.

Let's say this distance corresponds to one sheet of toilet paper. Then the distance from Sun to Neptune is about 30 sheets. Voyager 2, the farthest travelling human artefact, is about 100 sheets (1/4 of a 400 sheet roll) away.

How far away is the clostest star, Proxima Centauri? About 670 toilet paper rolls. And the center of our own Milky Way? 40.5 billion toilet paper rolls.

"The experience with crypto for many people of color has proven, in short, to be a continuation of an exploitative pattern of predatory inclusion. Meanwhile, many individuals of color remain excluded from the financial system. And even as their need for wealth-building opportunities persists, crypto hasn’t come close to delivering on its promise of access and opportunity." – Tonantzin Carmona

"Trump didn't abandon the attempt to use the Justice Department to overturn the election because he realized it was improper. He stopped because he decided it had no chance of succeeding." https://www.thebulwark.com/the-january-6th-report-takeaway-trump-incited-the-riot/

In response to someone whining about "kids today" on another site, I dug out this quote again:

"Our Earth is degenerate in these later days; there are signs that the world is speedily coming to an end; bribery and corruption are common; children no longer obey their parents; every man wants to write a book and the end of the world is evidently approaching.”

It's from an Assyrian clay tablet. circa 2800 B.C.E.

Humans don't change, only technology does.

@morgfair Greg Abbot should be getting charged with Human Trafficking! THAT is the problem. We're not calling for consequences just condemning actions. As a society we need to be DEMANDING consequences for the legal authorities to act on. Instead we just condemn and that's not enough anymore. There MUST be consequences for human trafficking and the death of people through policies (or lack of) like the GOP is pushing.

Dear MAGA,

The elections aren't rigged. The courts aren't rigged.

Your leaders and 'influencers' are lying to you. Over and over again.

Yet, you insist on giving them your hard-earned money as you attack the people trying to tell you the truth.

You are being played.

@msignorile you might recall Clarence Thomas refusing to recuse from cases in which he and the wifey are directly involved? for decades, btw, tracing back to Bush v Gore

pretend like it doesn’t exist and everyone will forget
