The billionaire Sackler Family and Purdue Pharma will pay $6B & serve 0 prison for knowingly selling horrendous amounts of OxyContin while claiming it was non-addictive—resulting in 564K+ American deaths by Opioid overdose.😓 And that doesn’t even begin to contemplate the global harm and deaths the Sackler family caused.

And for all that suffering and atrocity—not one person will go to prison. Not one.

@ukuku The Lt Gov wants a special session of the lege in order to ban Drag Queen Story Hour, so clearly there's no greater threat to democracy or stability than gay people in colorful costumes reading storybooks in libraries.

"Today, a heavily armed Atlanta Police Department SWAT team raided a house in Atlanta and arrested three of its residents. Their crime? Organizing legal support and bail funds for protesters and activists who have faced indiscriminate arrest and overreaching charges in the struggle to stop the construction of a vast police training facility — dubbed Cop City — atop a forest in Atlanta.

The arrests are an unprecedented attack on bail funds and legal support organizations, a long-standing facet of social justice movements, according to Lauren Regan, executive director of the Civil Liberties Defense Center.

“This is the first bail fund to be attacked in this way,” Regan, whose organization has worked to ensure legal support for people resisting Cop City, told me. “And there is absolutely not a scintilla of fact or evidence that anything illegal has ever transpired with regard to Atlanta fundraising for bail support.”

A lot of Bible stories could double as #FloridaMan headlines.

Florida Man threatened to cut baby in half to stop 2 women from bickering.

Florida Man says 2 daughters got him drunk and forced him to impregnate them.

Florida Man says underage “wife” was impregnated by “God”.

@atomicpoet made this one over a decade ago. Seems on-topic.

This was back when Earth was young. Before GNU Social became StatusNet, in times of MediaGoblin, when Mastodons did not yet roam the planet.

Speaking of #SolarPunk, some Polish "internet celebrity art critic" type did a truly galaxy-brained "takedown" of that genre and… let's just say that I stopped reading after:

> The first obvious problem with Solarpunk is what are the characters supposed to do at night?

@Hogata @rysiek @didleth@mastodon.social @miklo @didleth@szmer.info Chcę tylko przypomnieć, że przed erą korpracji było powszechne używanie w Internecie pseudonimów. To w dużej mierze korpo, które chciały zbierać jak najwięcej danych, wprowadziły pod pozorem "bezpieczeństwa" czy innych tzw "real name policy".

If I buy a John Deere tractor, why do I need to dial a dealer first to let them "dial in" to my tractor second? Why can't I just dial in to my tractor myself? Remote access should be optional, local access by yourself and any third party. Which comes as a precondition for the #RightToRepair
