USian liberals, real talk: If Biden were selling arms to a group that had so far killed over 35,000 Americans, including over 15,000 kids, you wouldn’t be telling folks to vote for him. You’d be in the streets demanding he be removed from power. The reason you’re not? Because it’s Brown people on the other side of the world being slaughtered and you, quite frankly, couldn’t give a shit.

Given the outpouring of empathy and care as well as the condemnation of violence from European politicians, can someone please inform them that over 35,000 Prime Minister Robert Ficos have been murdered in Gaza by Israel, including over 15,000 baby Prime Minister Robert Ficos.

If your democratic process leaves you no option but to vote for genocide, your democratic process has already failed.

On 's keynote, it is said that Google Search has been getting an increase in user satisfaction, and I feel like there must be something weird going on,because all I read everywhere on news, blogs and social media is that people are feeling that Google Search is getting worse and worse (which I also feel). Are they in a bubble? Am I in a bubble? What's going on?

@marado @per_sonne I believe it’s called public relations.

Look. I know I'm cynical, but I'm just not comfortable using my credit card to pledge money to a private company that will then coerce my child to run laps around a gym while calling it a "Fun Run" in order to increase the amount of money said company 'gives' back to my child's school.

But I'm trying to keep an open mind.

Anyone out here ever heard of a company called "My Booster" or maybe "Boosterthon" (it's unclear)?

@whvholst What, no? Didn’t you read what I wrote? This is the good guy who kills Palestinian kids en masse, not the bad guy who will kill even more Palestinian kids en masse. (It’s very important to support just the right amount of genocide lest people think you heartless.)

  • #Israel is carrying out #genocide in #Gaza.

  • Context! You must go back… all the way to October 7.

  • Sure, let’s go back: let’s go back 76 years to May 15, 1948, to the #Nakba; the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people where 750,000 people were “expelled from their homes or made to flee, at first by Zionist paramilitaries through various violent means, and after the establishment of the State of Israel, by the Israel Defense Forces.” (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakba)

  • No, no, not like that.

off trail, just say loudly and clearly "Elon Musk

nowhere to call you poor, then you can follow

The antidote to AI destroying the web is to strengthen human connection and to make those connections a fundamental part of the open web. Quickly.

Raw Milk Sales Skyrocket as Idiots Believe Drinking Bird Flu Will Give Them 'Immunity'

Pasteurization kills H5N1, but raw milk has "high concentrations" of the virus. Please don't drink raw milk.

Here’s a niche gotcha with the clipboard API’s navigator.clipboard.writeText() method that’s unique to Safari:

If you access a function from a module within your gesture handler (e.g., click handler), you will get a permission error.

The (sadly hacky and not as robust) workaround is to set a global variable from your module instead.

Full gist:

Near Ouarzazate, me and @cobic have just met Czech cyclist Mirek and Slovenian cyclist Katya, who travel all around the world on their bicycles and live on the road and work as artists. I have introduced them to Mastodon and they are now @Cyclingnomads on our instance...

So if you want Cycling Nomads in Fediverse instead of just on Facebook, don't hesitate and follow @Cyclingnomads !

Money is like shit. If we spread it around, it functions as fertilizer, enabling incredible ideas to sprout and grow. If instead we just pile it up into mountains, it stinks and all the great stuff that could sprout and flourish is starved of nutrients.

Universal basic income is the good shit.

Repeat after me: a university is not a corporation, and should not be run like one. The former exists for the pursuit of knowledge, while the latter for the pursuit of profits. These are mutually incompatible.
