New in PN: ABC is too cowed to state the obvious about Stephen Miller
"Miller and Trump are hateful bigots. Independent journalists can still say that. Journalists at ABC can’t, because the president gets a veto over their coverage. That’s not democracy and it’s not a free press. It’s fascism." https://www.publicnotice.co/p/abc-terry-moran-stephen-miller
Helping the U.S. gets you banned, being white gets you a welcome mat. Got it.
Your periodic reminder to VERIFY BEFORE BOOSTING. Don't incite extra fear by boosting misinformation. Things are shit enough without that.
And play the music... :)

Back from vacation, did I miss anything? No, no I did not. Dammit.
@bethmaru Deal! ;)
@bethmaru 20 years? No... It can't be... lies! LIES & SEDITION!
"Question the word “peace.” The term used in the media is “peace negotiations.” The United States and Russia are not at war. Russia is at war with Ukraine, but Ukraine is not invited to these talks." ~ Timothy Snyder
I've said it before, I'll say it again... The S1 soundtrack to Final Space is *epic*.

Interesting. In english, ‘enshittification’ gives a mixture of violence and sophistication, violence because of the vulgar root and sophistication because of the Latin affixes. But the mixture is humorous, so it's sort of a faux sophistication.
@arstechnica Just watched the Berm Peaks vid about this bike on my lunch break today :)
Why it makes perfect sense for this bike to have two gears and two chains
Bike design seems like a solved problem, but there's a lot to learn from Buffalo.

Earlier today, Anglican Priest Calvin Robinson ended a speech at a pro life summit in DC by giving the exact same Nazi salute that Elon Musk did.
The crowd laughed & cheered.
The Anglican Church revoked his license.
This is how you handle Nazis. You condemn them. You don’t pander to them.
Considering how many organizations excused Musk’s salute as an “awkward gesture”, I’m incredibly grateful to see the church taking a strong stand against hate

MAGA voters you can learn from your mistakes or you can perish. That’s not a threat, that’s my suggestion for how to help.
There is only one thing to do when someone you love comes out officially as bisexual. Immediately drop everything to watch The Mummy (1999) together.
Polite Canadian corporate employee with an email footer "My work hours may not be your work hours. Please don't feel obligated to reply outside of your work hours."
Most US corporate workers: "I emailed you 5 minutes ago. Why haven't you replied? Sunday? Fuck your Sunday."
@contrapunctus @sezduck It's less the leaving FB, it's the more leaving it for Bluesky and not Mastodon. Especially as one of the reasons people are suggesting it is that Canadian news isn't blocked on it (yet).
Fascists are going to need technology to succeed.
And we know more about that than they do.
Put dipsticks in your code.
