Bad headline: "Fediverse 'purists' reject Meta's Threads"
Good headline: "Meta's Threads fails at federation — unable to moderate abuse and hate speech"
My dad the judge taught me that it's not enough for justice to be done; it needs to be seen to be done. The world needs to see that problem is Meta.
(I recognise that we risk weeks of rising abusive behaviour before the defederation happens, and I respect the opposing arguments from people who want to prevent that.)
Putin wants a US president who is ‘more constructive,’ Kremlin says
What he really said was he wants a US President who brings his own kneepads to meetings with him.
Cistercian Numbers; are an extremely interesting and basically forgotten number system developed 8 Centuries Ago. It is much more compact than Arabic and Roman systems, you can basically write any integer from 1 to 9999 with one character.

Fun fact:
The word "holiday" can be traced back to its Old English roots where it was spelled "hælig day", or "holy day" and it meant any of a number of observed Judeo-Christian holy days such as Holy Innocent's Day, Easter, Lent, and yes – Christmas.
So if you are a Christian and you're mad at someone for saying "Happy Holidays" because you somehow think that phrase removes mention of the Judeo-Christian celebration of Christmas, you are mad for literally the dumbest of all possible reasons.
You need some good news? I need some good news.
Season 3 of Good Omens is confirmed.
I'm disappointed. I have been abandoned for months. I didn't even get my Pointless hug as the man is not in the right position and I wasn't fed for aeons as the tall one was too busy doing tall one things to care for me properly. Someone needs to do something. My life is so difficult. No one understands my pain.
I couldn't even shout at the preferred human on her return as the tall one did not let me outside.

Go ahead. Be angry at the Cheneys for their politics.
But recognize what Liz Cheney is doing and why she is doing it.
She is willing to endorse her ideological rival -- and anger her own base and colleagues--to keep Trump out of power because she recognizes that he is uniquely dangerous.
In her book, she is calling out the Republicans who continue to kiss Trump's ring as moral cowards.
I don't like her politics, but I respect what she is doing and why.

Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
