As Gavin Newsom got more and more national press and seemed like he was setting up a future presidential run, I honestly thought he would make an effort to suck less but oh well

@rebeccawatson apologies if you've seen this before but it's some interesting background on how hindu nationalists are running the israeli playbook on equating criticism of the state with religious bigotry

Honestly, I wish and other open-world RPGs didn't have a main quest. It's never the best part of the game -- in fact, it's frequently the WORST part of the game. Just leave it out and let me bomb around the world doing side quests and building things and making friends and enemies.

That'd be 10x better than any "fetch the macguffins, save the universe" nonsense that every main quest tend to end up as.

Just saw a really irritating anti-remote work chart crime from making the rounds on twitter, from an article claiming that "The most worrying finding in the latest survey -- especially in a workplace that is increasingly hybrid and remote -- is that employees who can do their work remotely have an eroding connection to the mission or purpose of the organization."

As a very woke radical leftist I'm beyond tired of hearing people like ... Joe Biden and federal prosecutors(???) called "radical leftists."

They did not. They are not. They did not earn that title! That is mine! We are NOT the same OK?

Anyway, on the bright side, when real radical leftists start showing up what are the republicans gonna call us? "Super duper extra spicy double plus hot crossed buns radical left?" You spent your biggest move! You've got nowhere more shocking to go!

I was a wild child, and I couldn't imagine a future where I wasn't a child who climbed rocks and slept in caves. At school, a sentence, a word, or a comma was enough to shoot me to some remote place, a landscape to explore, full of life and details. I rarely finished reading their books, and then there would be a test I couldn't complete. They never asked me about those second places, about all the places I escaped to. 20 years have passed, and I'm still there.

@harriorrihar your work reminds me of hergé and especially moebius and in the best possible way - i love the detail and the flatness (for lack of a better word) and all that glorious color. have you put out any books or prints?

Distillers' House on Waterloo Street in Glasgow.

Build in 1898 in a mix of Renaissance, Tudor and Baronial styles, it features three statues by Richard Ferris. These are characters from Sir Walter Scott's narrative poem 'The Lady of the Lake'. Over the entrance are Roderick Dhu (left) and his rival James Fitz-James (right), while over the oriel window on the first floor of the tower is the poem's heroine Ellen Douglas.

does anyone actually know the answer to this? or do people just assume they do (meaning lots of them get it wrong)?

The “lib” in “libtard” — is it short for “liberal” or “libertarian”?

They literally mean the opposite of each other, so I can never decide who’s gettin’ slagged when I see this term. (Because a feature of a lot of online writing is that the writers presume others share their perspective, so they could plausibly mean a certain thing… or its exact opposite.)

Anyway, it’s stupid.

Born 122 years ago this week, Louis Armstrong's charisma & warmth captivated audiences globally. But, by the 1950s and 1960s, many Black Americans perceived him as outdated, out of touch with civil rights, and hesitant to voice his opinions—labeling him an "Uncle Tom." This deeply wounded Armstrong. But he was a far more complex & nuanced man than they knew.

I keep seeing stupid memes about how Michelangelo was 23 when he sculpted the Pieta what's your excuse.

Well fuck that.

Tommy Stinson was 14 when he played this gig. What was Michelangelo's excuse?

Looking down Gardner Street in the west end of Glasgow.

This is one of the steepest streets in the city. With a gradient of 8.03%, it's steep enough to ski down when it snows (I know because I've done it!). However, it's no where near being the steepest street in Scotland, which, at a whopping 19.4%, is Middle Brae in Tobermory on the Isle of Mull.

Ok. Nobody likes line drawings of old churches. ;) Here’s a little landscape painting of clouds above the NB Trail, which is the railbed of the old Canadian National Railway line from Sackville to Cape Tormentine, New Brunswick, leading to the ferry to Prince Edward Island, Canada.

After 8 months working on Mastodon, in particular on infrastructure for mastodon.social and mastodon.online, I have been able to articulate my vision for the future of Trust & Safery for Mastodon : https://renchap.com/blog/post/evolving_mastodon_trust_and_safety/

We need better tools to go along the growth of the Fediverse, and they need to enable multiple instances to work together on those topics and keep our loved network safe for everyone!

@mike @schmubba @antifawarlord @renchap @tchambers

nearly any social media affordance can we weaponized for good or ill. they're extremely useful for efficiently blocking fascists, racists, misogynists, transphobes, etc. the fact that a fascist can create a blocklist for progressives doesn't bother me - they have been out-organizing the left for years - it's about time we used some of those techniques.

crumbleneedy,
@crumbleneedy@aus.social avatar

@mike @schmubba @antifawarlord @renchap @tchambers my experience with blocklists on twitter is that someone makes one and shares it, and it's up to the individual as to whether they use it (and modify it) or not. not sure about other use cases.

In 100,000 years an alien ship enters our solar system. The earth has no remarkable intelligent life, but it's a beautiful biodiverse planet recovering from some bad extinctions. The aliens don't notice the traces left by humanity right away, this is just a survey trip and not much monumental remains.

But, they do pick up a signal, coming not from Earth, but from Mars. "How strange?" they think. Mars is obviously the inferior planet for life. Earth is incredible. But they go to investigate. 1/
