This publicity will probably bring in more money for the internet archive than what was cut.

Still a dick move by musk, but I'm glad it's not an existential threat to the project.

Bukele will crack by the 18th hour of filibustering.

His lawyers can try to split hairs about "facilitate" vs. "effectuate" but saying he will never come back to the US after being ordered to try to get him back to the US seems like the most obvious violation possible of a 9 - 0 supreme court decision. If republicans were honest, trump could be removed from office by Saturday morning. What would there be to even investigate?

I don't mean it as a gotcha. Clearly too many people don't care about the rights and dignity of other people unless it affects them. I wish they did, but the current political climate makes it clear that they don't.

So I think this is worth bringing up to people about any social justice issue. Racism and nativism are used to control white workers. Patriarchy hurts men. Transphobia hurts cisgender people.

However, it is crucial to communicate to people that these ideologies are fundamentally bad and need to be abolished or else people can walk away thinking "We need to implement transphobia the 'right' way so it stops hurting cis people."

It bares repeating, transphobia hurts cisgender people and transgender people.

I hope the republicans have better aim this time.

No, but I know some ex JWs.

This is some JW disfellowshiping level behavior.

But sure Elon, you're not the one in a cult, it's everyone outside of your group that's crazy.

Sub 200 TSLA is possible!

Hell, I believe sub 100 TSLA may be possible. That'd be when his empire really starts to crack.

I'm so glad that I was taught how to diagram sentences in middle school because when I see something like this I immediately strip it down to it's most basic structure. "I am a threat to humans."

Notice how he specifies that he technically never "physically" hurt anyone.

But damaging his product and brand is "violence."

 
 

I was trying to explain federated websites to a friend and she asked if there is a federated dating app. She recently went through a break up and the apps are dreadful as I'm sure many of you know.

It'd be hard to launch a dating system on the fediverse because it the type of service that relies heavily on network effects. People want to be on the dating app with the most people. However, I think there is an opportunity because the mainstream apps are so notoriously awful, monetized, and enshitified.

It could be a community within an existing network or it could be its own website. I don't know, I'm just putting the idea out there.
