My wife is looking forward to deleting her Instagram account once she can connect with the same folks from her Mastodon account. Being able to remain in touch with over 100M people who still use Meta products out of the comfort of an ad-free, privacy-friendly platform like Mastodon is a game changer.
‘Young earthism’, Speaker #MAGAMike doesn’t just tout a pro-FF stance, he claims that the earth is only 6,000 years old. Johnson lies, he’s anti-science, but knows it took millions of years for crude oil to be formed. On Christian Nationalism, Carville believes that this movement, Mike supports, is more dangerous than al-Qaida. “What Johnson represents is a level of breathtaking hypocrisy, his anti-homosexuality & young earthism are hypocrisy on steroids.” https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/dec/16/james-carville-mike-johnson-christian-nationalism
Don't even try to "#debate" them and their #reactionary#shitposting|s, but consequently outcast and boycott them from everything to the maximum extent legally possible!
Prognose: Es wird nie klappen mit der Digitalen Souveränität in Deutschland. Diese erlangt man nämlich nicht dadurch, dass man proprietäre Software einsetzt und sich von Dienstleistern wie Microsoft abhängig macht. 👇🙄

Nachträglich fast fünf Millionen Euro für den Bahn-Vorstand. Wofür fragt man sich. Haltet euch fest: "Leistungsbezogene Zahlungen für erreichte Ziele." Finanziert aus Steuergeldern. Man könnte es für Satire halten, ist es aber leider nicht. Das ist an Frechheit kaum zu überbieten. 👇
"Pseudo-profound language is a stylistic means in many different contexts, like advertising, politics, economics, or even science. Contemporary visual art is notoriously known for its variant: artspeak...."
why the #rba is living in an ivory tower of theoretical ideas which have nothing to do with reality but do harm real people in their cacophony of incompetence 🤬 #profit#billionaires#bullshit
"Aspects of university education prepare young people to expect little more from life, training them to submit to bureaucratic processes, while writing reams of text that few will ever read. In the kind of education that produces a Boris Johnson, verbal fluency and entertaining arguments may be rewarded more highly than close attention to the truth. As Graeber says, we train people for bullshit jobs by training them to generate bullshit."
This is very good, thank you for sharing. I loved both Harry Frankfurt’s and Graeber’s book and it seems to me that #Bullshit is THE lens through which to understand #AI (and a lot else). Also: so good to see something that is rooted in research conducted in Africa, and how much that adds to understanding not just #Africa itself but our world as a whole. I am convinced of this too! 😊
Oh look! It's yet another #bullshit#Trump#lawsuit that's going absolutely nowhere. This dude has the worst legal track record in the world. This is just another platform for him to attack his perceived enemies, and rally his base around. In the end, they'll either drop the lawsuit to avoid another humiliating loss, or they'll lose the #verdict. Trump and #Elon should just get together and poke each other in the eye instead of engaging in these absurd legal actions.
#DirkStettner bezifferte die Kosten für die 5 km lange Pilotstrecke mit etwa 80 Mill. €. Die Mittel dafür würden im von CDU und SPD geplanten Klima-Sondervermögen eingestellt."
Well, I suppose we've reached the end game of disinformation and political extremism.
We've Overton-ed ourselves into a situation where (much of) the professional media, and most on social media, can't even acknowledge the reality of what's happening in front of them.
