Thank you, ordered 200!

America will become what happens with private equity. Use up all resources, scrape every bit of profit, leave it all vacant…of people. Then sell it. Unless we stop the madness. But the fascists took 50 years to get where they are. How soon can we stop the spiral and then reverse it?

Putin won.

Really good point.

Now this is a use for AI I can get behind: “There is a bigger dream here. Picture a world where you can walk around New York City and everything you need is falling out of windows onto you. At a moments notice, at the drop of a hat. That's a world I want to live in.” dropofahat.zone

Why Meta is looking to the fediverse as the future for social mediatcrn.ch Meta’s move into the open social web, also known as the fediverse, is puzzling. Does the Facebook owner see open protocols as the future? Will it embrace the fediverse only to shut it down, shifting people back to its proprietary platforms and decimating…

So good.

This was the guy on Twitter’s T&S team who got fired for liking a tweet calling the new owner a dipshit.

I love Claire’s question.

I did not expect to see a creek on my walk in San Jose today.

What happens when people still know to love unite against the haters.

It has now been unsuspended
