The words 'fascist' and 'fascism' get used a LOT around here. My working definition of fascism is the marriage of capitalism and government - corporatism. On masto it means anything from 'homophobe' to 'someone I don't like'.
Bit difficult to organize against an ill-defined enemy.
"Come comrades! Let us fight this vague, handwavy thing!! Who's with me?!?"
"Well, err..." "I'm getting my hair done." "Maybe tomorrow" "I may meet you there." "I'm bored."

'Don't they care?': Europeans astonished as U.S. hits 5 million cases
"We Italians always saw America as a model," said Massimo Franco, a columnist with daily Corriere della Sera. "But with this virus we've discovered a country that is very fragile, with bad infrastructure and a public health system that is nonexistent."
Well, that's the power of hollywood isn't it? Land of the free that imprisons more of its own people than any other country.

I saw someone in a Gucci mask today. I don’t know if it’s genuine or ironic but if the former what a statement about how we want to portray ourselves. It’s a health precaution, not a fashion statement.

Happy National Day Singapore!
Compare and contrast the statesman-like, sensibly cautious and yet inspiring speech of PM Lee against the lunatic ravings of bolsonaro, bojo and trumpy or the toff insincerity of trudeau's schoolboy performances. Gives one hope in humankind.

The #Covid19Cymru figures have certainly been doing odd things lately. Two days ago, 7 deaths were recorded. Yesterday, 1, then today, 0.
The number of new cases today is 26; this figure is on the rise again, having been in the teens for a while.
It's strange, for sure.
7-day average deaths: 2.0 (that's the equal lowest for a week)
Total: 1579

There are tens of thousands of small, ecclesiastical communities based on some or all of the christian bible. Various translations. Various interpretations. It's basically cafeteria style.
I have no idea what flavour trumpy believes in, but it has a very strange god.
In trumpy's religion his god can be hurt, yes hurt, by joe biden!
OK, that's just really weird, even for trumpy.
So trumpy begs the people to vote him back in, so he can protect god??
What the actual...??

Rising temperatures will cause more deaths than all infectious diseases

Rising temperatures are set to cause particular devastation in poorer, hotter parts of the world that will struggle to adapt to unbearable conditions that will kill increasing numbers of people, the research has found.
The #economic loss from the climate crisis, as well as the cost of #adaptation, will be felt around the world, including in wealthy countries.

It's slightly disappointing to see 2 deaths today in the official #Covid19Cymru figures, though as Wednesdays (along with Tuesdays) normally see higher totals, it is not a surprise, given the figures of the past week; cf 5 last Wednesday. So we are on a downward trend again.
On the bright side, the number of new cases is down to 14.

7-day average: 2.0
Total: 1568

"A Dutch public broadcaster got rid of targeted digital ads—and its revenues went up" 

"the main Dutch public broadcaster… found that ads served to users who opted out of cookies were bringing in as much or more money as ads served to users who opted in."

"The results were so strong that as of January 2020, NPO simply got rid of advertising cookies altogether…"
