This graffiti of Putin with a noose-tie has remained untouched in Novosibirsk, Siberia, Russia (south-central, city location:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=55.033333&mlon=82.916667&zoom=12#map=3/54.93/89.91) since September, reports SOTA.

Introducing you to Takoma Park, MD elementary school librarian Charles Sutherland, who took it upon himself to spray-paint GROOMER on two public libraries during Pride week - likely because the libraries held Pride events.

What did police find when they searched the home of Sutherland - a single man with no children, nieces, or nephews?
-diapers
-children's dolls
-a child-sized, life-like doll, in Sutherland's bed
-child porn on his laptop

Sutherland is number 113 on our list of bigots, fascists, and far-right extremists who are also child sex predators:

Wow. Wordpress just announced they have to drop support for Twitter in their Jetpack post sharing plug-in as they haven’t been able to reach agreement with Twitter for access. They are committing to adding to support Mastodon!
The majority of the Web’s individually run websites run Wordpress! It’s ON!!

For years Davenport, Iowa has refused to build a flood wall, saying it would ruin the view of the Mississippi river. The river is quite visible today 😂

Today in 1945, 78 years ago: World War II: Führerbunker: Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun commit suicide after being married for less than 40 hours. Soviet soldiers raise the Victory Banner over the Reichstag building.

RT @JimVandeHei: Why people rock: numerous @axios readers bought this man's art after reading his heroic story...that's pretty damn cool...you can, too... https://t.co/QSMJi5nXP3

Sharing this to @fediversenews, too...good to get the word abt this organizing:

"Can we make the fediverse the welcoming-est place in social media?

We’re a soft-launching new welcoming committee. All you have to do is reply to introduction posts to say hello and offer help.
We hope you’ll follow @welcoming & mention to the group how many people you welcomed....

You can point people to https://SpreadMastodon.org, https://discover.fedified.com, or any other resources you like!"

Count Dracula was 412 when he moved to England in search of new blood.
Sauron was 54,000 years old when he forged the One Ring.
Cthulhu had seen galaxies flare into life and fade into darkness before he put madness in the minds of men.
See, it’s never too late to follow your dreams!

I’m really interested — will you be swearing allegiance to the King? There is no judgement here, but would love your vote in my poll and maybe reply with why or why not?

Great guy, awful chef.

Because I fear some people may not notice, the vast majority of my replies to posts and many of my own are meant to be read as satirical, humorous, or nonsensical. I will try to note when I say something serious. (Exceptions are politics, climate change, and animal care. I rarely kid about those topics. I used to kid about politics but then the Republicans made satire redundant.)

Does the Fediverse have a very NIMBY-like feel for newcomers of color? Absolutely. I noted that early.

Are some of Fedi conventions a bit...stuffy? You betcha.

Are there some problematic as hell users/instances on here? YEP.

This is why instance admins/mods are so important for newcomers.

I think the Fediverse can be a good place for community-building. But apathetic admins/mods and janky as hell instances that are the Fediverse equivalent of Rovers from Firefly, raiding users and poisoning every interaction, don't exactly make the experience easy for us.

Too bad there isn't a Fediverse Green Book, if you know what I mean.

Capitalism and Communism are very different tools for economic control but they do share one thing in common.
