User “rebellions” and strikes by mods and top users happening at Twitter, StackExchange and Reddit all at the same time. Over different issues but all against centralized siloed platform issues. Good time to be developing for and building out the #Fediverse.

Chasing dreams, facing chaos

When your cat sits at the table and eats her treats off of a plate!

Yes, this is Bess, our 13 year old female cat. She's been a lazy cat most of her life due to once weighing in at 23 1/2 pounds. She's slimmed down due to her age, but she still loves to do lazy things like this. She was sleeping on the ottoman when treat time came around, so she decided to just lean over and eat her treat off of the plate while sitting on the ottoman at the table.

They cut off someone’s ability to see the doctor, and they won’t even release vaccination records for their kids if they have unpaid medical bills.

"Kuleba criticizes international media for entertaining Russian propaganda about Kakhovka dam explosion

Foreign Affairs Minister Dmytro Kuleba called out international media on June 6 for entertaining Russian narratives about the Kakhovka dam explosion, saying it "puts facts and propaganda on equal footing."

"Infuriating to see some media report 'Kyiv and Moscow accusing each other' of ruining the Kakhovka dam. It puts facts and propaganda on equal footing. Ukraine is facing a huge humanitarian and environmental crisis. Ignoring this fact means playing Russia’s 'not all obvious' game," Kuleba wrote."

Day 468.

The invaders blew up the dam of #Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant in #Ukraine.

600-800 tons of turbine oil have leaked in #Dnipro river.

An ecocide we face together.

I am at #EUGreenWeek with 🇺🇦 Minister @RuslanStrilets & @OlegBondEcology discussing next actions.

I am grateful to each of our warriors, to all our defenders who gave us the news we expect. Bakhmut direction – well done, warriors!

We see how hysterically Russia perceives every step we take there, every position we take. The enemy knows that Ukraine will win. They see it. They feel it thanks to your strikes, soldiers, and in particular in Donetsk region. Thank you for that!

"Basically, Twitter’s own lawyers are admitting in a court filing that the guy who owns their company is spewing utter nonsense about what the Twitter Files revealed. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything quite like this."

As usual, @mmasnick is doing the reporting that Big Journalism can't be bothered to do in a timely way. In this case, he explains what a legal document says.

This might be an unpopular opinion here but it cuts close to me living the way I do and seeing how helpless so many people are when they don't have electricity or energy for even a short time.
The vast majority of humans don't need their lives run by machines that are programmed by a tiny number of humans that know how to do it. I don't think A.I. will kill us (at least not on it's own) but I don't believe that in general, A.I. is good for human development, knowledge, education and skills. What else will we lose when we depend on machines? Look at how many skills humans have lost even now with the tech we have: memory and memorization; reading maps and following directions; handwriting, both printing and cursive; using books for research; patience and stillness; all the personal everyday life skills... the list goes on and on. I shudder to think how dumbed down humanity will get if we allow machines to do everything that the tech world can think up.
And not only that, how do we know the intention and ethics, or proficiency of the programmers? Some are scared to death of a vaccine but will put all of their trust in some stranger that doesn't even need to prove their education to program something that can be life or death for them.

I sure don't like running into spider webs by accident but I do find them beautiful especially when covered in morning dew.
