To be fair, I don't know of a right wing effort to legally force sports entertainers to stand or legally force them to lose their means of income, is there one?
Google changing slogan to "Be Evil" :
Google built a prototype of a censored search engine for China that links users’ searches to their personal phone numbers... Google compiled a censorship blacklist that included terms such as “human rights,” “student protest,” and “Nobel Prize” in Mandarin.

Software developers don't have a monopoly on good ideas, but their skill set makes them a uniquely deep source of innovation, productivity and new economic connections.

Thanks for posting this.

I am new here. I love the sound of my children’s laughter. I love the way my dogs lean on my legs. My wife can say something really funny right from deep sleep. I practice neurocritical care. I read great books, crap books—any books, all the time. My music library looks as if someone blind raided a record store. I studied immunology, speak romance languages terribly, and torture my family with dad jokes.
@freemo Hey Freemo,
Do you think there is any way to add translation to the web-based Mastodon client we go through @ qoto.org? Sort of like what they got going on in Mastalab?
We've gotten more people in the instance discussing things in languages other than English, and I'd love to be able to translate on the fly as a quality of life improvement, as opposed to C&P to google translate.

Agreed.

The article you linked to said the report was that the door was open, not locked, not sure if the apartment was next door, down 20 apartments, on the wrong elevator floor.... It's easy to judge before we know the details. But it sounds like this will go through the courts as it should, tried by a jury as it should, etc. The process so far looks like it's working, no?

@Surasanji What does LEO stand for? I don't know all the details, but it sounds like a person accidentally went into the wrong apartment instead of her own, thought an intruder was there, confronted and wrongly attacked the person and I would expect...
that person to be tried and found guilty of manslaughter or murder or whatever this legally is.
Even America can't stop people from making mistakes and prevent committing crimes. But in many places I think the person would go free simply because her day job is with the police, I don't expect that to be the case in America.
Maybe I'm missing part of the story. I don't think it's a unique attribute of the USA for someone to entered the wrong apartment by mistake and have a confrontation.
What I'm missing is why this is a reason to be anti US.

I'm interested in being just not civil, but excellent in interacting with others of different viewpoints in an online world where we can so viciously defend our echo chambers and be so dismissive of other perspectives.
