#mastowatch is a pretty sweet little app that provides all sorts of info on various fediverse instances/servers. One of the more interesting pieces of data it collects is the list of blocked servers for a particular instance. Cool to see the perp lists haha

While reading “The Ministry for the Future” by Kim Stanley Robinson, I find myself wondering if this book should be required reading at #COP28

The story is fiction, of course. But it’s also highly informed & quite believable (so far). And it’s set in the not too distant future. #books #ClimateChange

I am not a sports fan. Anyway, one day I was at a social gathering and a guy was really distressed because his team kept losing.

I said, "Why not just like a different team?" (I thought this was logical)

There was an uproar among sports fans.

Anyway, it's so much better to be rooting for the prosecution. They win so much more.

Did you know federal prosecutors have better than a 95% conviction rate?

Bought Streets of Rage 1 & 2 when they came out way back in the 90s, and while the music in both was excellent to my 13 year old ears, I had no idea how complex it actually was. If you have the time, check out this deconstruction of the best songs of SOR2 by a professional musician. He's blown away.

"The Yale University historian Greg Grandin, author of the biography Kissinger’s Shadow, estimates that Kissinger’s actions from 1969 through 1976, a period of eight brief years when Kissinger made Richard Nixon’s and then Gerald Ford’s foreign policy as national security adviser and secretary of state, meant the end of between three and four million people."

Dammit dammit dammit. We should have been rioting for his incarceration the last 5 decades.

This won't work.⤵️ It will not fool anyone.

"GOP strategists urge congressional candidates to campaign against a national abortion ban"

"Disturbed by tough election losses on Tuesday, Republicans say the party needs to make clear to voters, in speeches and TV ads, that it doesn't favor banning all abortions."

Their idea: Say the GOP is for "reasonable limits on late-term abortions" as opposed to Dems' "taxpayer-funded abortion without limits.”🙄

The Washington Post's Jennifer Rubin just said (on Threads) that last night's results show that 90% of political reporting is garbage.

That's because 90% of "coverage" is speculation and opinion. An email from the NYT "The Tilt" assured me that it was a good night for Democrats but that doesn't mean anything for 2024.

Rubbish.

Elections tell us how voters feel. Polls do not and pundits do not.

Finally putting my x230 to rest, the last sudo poweroff. Hardware is failing beyond the point that makes continuing to repair it worthwhile.

On this laptop I deployed nearly 60 servers (most for at risk groups), 12 tech art projects (solo & collab, some toured worldwide), & gave many lectures & workshops.

If there was ever a loyal and electric steed, it was this x230. It ran #Debian & was good.

I bought it in 2015, for EUR145 on the German eBay, 2nd hand.
