I was talking to my daughter last night, and she "forgot" the name Mastodon. She asked me if I had heard something on "fossil Twitter," thus killing me twice.

Remember that Lyft, Uber, and DoorDash drivers are hosting labor actions today. If you can avoid using their services, please do so, and see if they are holding protests near you.

Don't cross picket lines, don't support scabs, and don't impede a work stoppage or slowdown.

"Let's get something straight. Growing old doesn't make people conservative. In fact the more marginalized identity statuses a person has, the LESS conservative they grow over time.
The reason we equate "old" with "conservative" is that marginalization kills people off younger.

Some of the most radical people you know are old.

It's just a lot of others died before they could get there, so there's a diminishing proportion. (2/_)

David Attenborough [whispering]:

“As the predators close in on their helpless prey, we can only watch in silent horror, for it is not man’s role to interfere in the hierarchy of nature.”

💚 Nuestros pensamientos están con Chile, que lucha contra unos incendios devastadores. La crisis subraya la urgencia de una acción climática global. Unámonos para proteger a las comunidades vulnerables y construir un futuro sostenible para todos.

Our thoughts go out to Chile as it battles devastating fires. The crisis underscores the urgency of global climate action. Let's unite to address climate change, protect vulnerable communities, and build a sustainable future for all.🌱🌏

It's just amazing how companies went from fake caring to just telling all of us to get over it.

54% of the people in this nation of geniuses, doing their own research, read below a sixth-grade level.

Google is too big to fail, and yet they seem to be failing at basic things they used to do well (like search) while removing useful features (like cache) and adding a bunch of crap nobody needs or wants.

Want to know if a given domain name shows up anywhere in search? Well screw you, we're not going to tell you that anymore, but here's 1,400 completely useless and irrelevant results that could possibly have some info (but don't). When the search engine could have done what it's done for years, and admit that it doesn't know WTF you're talking about and say "no results found." Now it just makes shit up if it doesn't know the answer.

Hey cool! My search result shows the term I was looking for is present on 7 website. Shoot! None of them are online anymore. How about showing us your cached version of the site, you know the one that was used to create this search result? Oh wait, no, you can't see that anymore. Why? Here's Danny Sullivan's dismissive and mystifying explanation: "“It was meant for helping people access pages when way back, you often couldn’t depend on a page loading,” Sullivan wrote on X. “These days, things have greatly improved. So, it was decided to retire it.”

Want software? Great, Google will serve a malicious ad on top that looks a lot like an organic search result but which is paid for by scammers and installs malware.
