#MustangMonday - Things are about to get intense on the west desert, as this gray stallion paws the dirt on the top of a hill. It was only minutes before another stallion took his challenge and rushed the hill.

I remember when Aaron Swartz was criminally prosecuted for downloading too many academic journal articles, but, sure, it's totally cool to scrape everyone's personal photographs as part of a commercial effort to market discriminatory surveillance tech to police departments.

Leslie Stahl’s interview isn’t a one-off atrocity. It’s just one symptom of the media turning a blind eye to fascism.
In just the last two weeks alone, the mainstream media have refused to recognize the threat posed by the Republican party and its de facto leader, Donald Trump.
First, they based an entire week of reporting and analysis on Donald’s social media post that falsely claimed he was going to be arrested on March 21.
Then, 60 Minutes made the confounding decision to give a platform to insurrectionist and fascist Marjorie Taylor Greene.
The Republican Party has fallen in line behind Donald and, now that indictments against him have been announced, they will stop at nothing to undermine the American people’s faith in the rule of law. Donald’s attacks on social media against NY DA Alvin Bragg have already resulted in an avalanche of death threats.
But just as they did in 2016, the media keep giving Donald millions of dollars worth of air time.
It’s time for the media to take sides—democracy or fascism.
It shouldn’t be that fucking hard.
🎯Via Elie Mystal:
Democracy Now: [Plays clip of Greene on 60Minutes]
Amy Goodman: That was Leslie Stahl questioning [MTG]
Me: That was not questioning, that was Leslie Stahl laundering Majorie Taylor Greene.
I see we're well into the "journalists who launder fascists making excuses for journalists who launder fascists" fractal rabbit hole.
It's all so predictable
“Help,” cries the journalist, “I’m being held captive by Elon Musk!”
He calls out from the unlocked cage, door wide open, to which he holds the key in his own hands.
“Quickly,” he begs now, “I can’t bear the thought that someone might think I’m paying for this.”
He gestures to the searing blue legacy checkmark, a brand affixed not to his skin, but the cage.
Concerned passerby leave treats at the door, in the hopes he might free himself. But alas, he shall surely starve.
Are you new here? Giving this place another try? Welcome!
I've been here for a few months and the best advice I've gotten so far is: Follow a lot of people. Like a lot. Like way more than you would have on the other site.
If you're worried about losing track of certain people/issues in the flood of your Home feed, use lists (and the advanced view on the web interface): https://mastodon.social/@design_law/109358875682926700
It’s a convention on Masto that referencing Twitter is bad form, but many of us — rightly or wrongly— spent a decade or more of our online lives on that blighted platform. We may not use it anymore, but it’s still fun to read news of the Old Country. And to indulge in a bit of schadenfreude along the way.

Hey #gamedev! Why don't we make a thread for everyone new/coming over from Twitter to recommend who to follow and why!
Be thorough in your descriptions of "why" so that the folks who read this thread can make up their minds with good info. 👍
Please boost/recommend this for more visibility!
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.
