Goodbye Twitter: Techdirt Will Soon End Our Automated Posting | Techdirt

@natharari Actually, I shouldn’t let the alt-left off the hook either. Seen from a cosy distance, in sunny Southern California, Jean-Luc Mélenchon is every bit as much of an opportunist as Donald Trump, and almost as good at lying.

I don’t want to ruffle anyone’s feathers here on Mastodon, but that’s how it seems to me, as a moderate centrist who considers himself socially and fiscally “responsible”.

@natharari It’s a new reality in today’s world, and French alt-right political movements are trying to take advantage of it as well, not to mention those self-immolating #Brekshit fanatics.

"#America is a #Christian #nation!"
Let's see what our #FoundingFathers had to say:

"Christianity neither is, nor ever was a part of the common law." -Thomas Jefferson

“The government of the #UnitedStates of #America is not founded on a Christian #religion in any sense.” -John Adams

“The purpose of the #SeparationOfChurchAndState is to keep forever from these shores the ceaseless strife that has soaked the soil of Europe with blood for centuries." -James Madison

Good morning, the good social network <3

Very sad news from Unsung Stories

https://mailchi.mp/2895ef938a22/the-end-or-how-to-stick-the-landing-indie-press-style

Huge, huge discounts on all their books.

I highly recommend GIGANTIC by Ashley Stokes, GREENSMITH by Aliya Whiteley, DARK RIVER by Rym Kechacha, and both the Malcolm Devlin short story collections

Small presses need our help and support more than ever. I will miss Unsung Stories and always treasure their books

(And ebooks, too)

Who could have imagined that Tucker Carlson, a white supremacist in public, was also a white supermacist in private? https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/02/business/media/tucker-carlson-text-message-white-men.html

The spate of media hype about RFK Jr. is not a harmless diversion. The far-right is leveraging it in order to accomplish two goals:

1) Radicalize people to QAnon and similar conspiracy cults.
2) Degrade the value of empirical reality in politics.

Painting Experiment!

I've been recently trying to experiment with a new style that combines both watercolor and tempera color, and this was the very first attempt.

The goal was to have a more "painterly" style that is not as reliant on lineart as my current one, and I think I've been quite successful!

Follow-up question: What kind of zone (AKA screensaver) programs would you like to see in #Emacs? The existing options:

- Built-in stuff (most of which scramble the existing buffer text or otherwise mess with it)
- Two Matrix™ ones
- Rainbow colors
- A steam locomotive (clone of the `sl` command)
- A nyancat animation written by yours truly

Most screensaver ideas seem to be about graphics rather than text, but graphics are of course still possible. One thing I've considered is game cut scenes, much like the "attract mode" of arcade machines (or maybe just add a whole game and relax the screen saver rules a bit).

While Trump may be more at risk of heart attack or stroke this is due to his health, weight and known factors that lead to that. So dying as a result of health won't really solve wider issues.

While it may avoid trial by treason, surely this will send a message to younger, healthier supporters that you can do what you want without judicial consequence.

By putting Trump on trial for treason, you send a clear message to others NOT to follow what he has done, so even a 25-35 year old president or politician will know that they can be hauled before a judge and put on trial.

It also sends a message tha regardless of your health you can also expect the same.

Justice must be SEEN to be served.
