😨20y Pentagon analyst & Proud Boy admired Hitler & Putin, said he “would love to see [Putin] just really be the leader that the world needs right now,” but that might not happen because “he has a lot of Jews around him who advise him”

He planned to kidnap ✡️Soros & liberals.

Based on the latest reporting from @caseynewton #ActivityPub seems like it's about to become tech's next new, new thing. Overall this level of awareness is great for the Fediverse.

A ton of genuine innovation is on the way. But there will also be the inevitable wave of con artists and copy cats.

Fortunately this time users have choice and they will decide the winners and losers.

Imagine if the ethics teams were among the last to be laid off instead of among the first.

Stop thinking of Twitter, TikTok, IG, (et al) as social media sites.

They are **Content Refineries.**

Like processed food manufacturers they take user content & extract the most addicting/engaging content. Brains eat it up but in an unhealthy “devour the whole bag of chips” way.

They make hyper-processed social media junk food.

Mastodon is more like a potluck. We're all bringing dishes. It's a mess. Kids are running all over. But we are, at least, real people sharing real things.

"your dog can't actually love you back" I intentionally adopted a chihuahua. I am not looking for love, I am looking for a 7lb bag of pressurized spite that will maintain eye contact with me as she takes a dump on my new rug

Properly jaw-dropping moment this evening: an e-mail from my US publisher saying that "since it's a science book", they'll publish Blue Machine WITH METRIC UNITS. So I don't have to convert everything to foot pounds per square elephant. In YEARS of writing for the US, this is the first time I have ever had a hint that there is a world outside feet and inches. Progress! #Books #Metric #Science

I keep Auschwitz in my feed, because I need to keep being reminded of what happens when you start dividing people into better and worse.

Nope, not gonna happen.

The #UN probe into war abuses in #Ethiopia issued an open call for submissions of info, documentation and evidence related to potential war crimes that took place throughout the war.

The disconnect is real. The open call is in English, a language that few speak in Ethiopia. I understand that there are many constraints, including Ethiopia denying access for investigators. But still, translating the call to languages spoken by war impacted populations is the bare minimum.
