Moving contexts (aka topics/threads) between audiences (aka categories/communities) should be something that can be communicated outward.

NodeBB is experimenting with using the Move activity to communicate this to other instances.

When a context is moved from one audience to another, the object and all of its descendants go with it. This is communicated with a Move activity with the resolvable context as object, and with origin and target referring to the outgoing and incoming audience, respectively.

An example Move:

{
  @context: <... snipped>,
  id: "https://activitypub.space/topic/123#activity/move/1761362910015",
  type: "Move",
  actor: "https://activitypub.space/uid/1",
  to: ["https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public"],
  cc: [
    "https://activitypub.space/category/1/followers",
    "https://activitypub.space/category/2/followers",
  ],
  object: "https://activitypub.space/topic/1",
  origin: "https://activitypub.space/category/1",
  target: "https://activitypub.space/category/2",
}

Would adding a new property like contextRoot pointing to the root-level object be useful for implementors?

If target is null, theoretically this could signify the removal of a context from its audience. null values are apparently a no-no in AP so Remove activity is recommended instead.

Sometimes, you just gotta lounge at a pizzeria ... alone ... for an hour ... work-life balance, amirite?

A New Jersey officer has been charged with misconduct after prosecutors say he didn’t quickly respond to and properly investigate reports of a shooting that turned out to be a double murder, instead stopping at an ATM and pizzeria.

Franklin township police sergeant Kevin Bollaro was the on-duty officer on the evening of 1 August when police received 911 calls reporting gunshots and screaming in Pittstown, about 60 miles (96 kilometers) from Manhattan in central New Jersey, according to Hunterdon county prosecutor Renée Robeson’s office.

Rather than responding immediately, prosecutors say, GPS data and surveillance video show Bollaro drove nearly 2 miles in the opposite direction of the caller’s location to a bank ATM.

Dispatchers relayed other calls from concerned neighbors as Bollaro proceeded towards their locations without activating his police vehicle’s emergency lights and sirens, they said.

When he arrived at the location of the first caller, the officer told the dispatcher he didn’t hear anything and that he would continue to the locations of the other callers. But Robeson’s office said GPS data shows he never visited those locations before he asked the dispatcher to clear him from the scene.

Must suck not to know how GPS works. For his sake, I hope that was an amazing pizza.

There are some truly alarming quotes in here, but first:

The Pentagon said on Friday that it was deploying the United States’s most advanced aircraft carrier to the Caribbean, a major escalation in the Trump administration’s war against drug cartels that provides the resources to start conducting strikes against targets on the ground.

The move will bring the USS Gerald Ford, with dozens of stealth fighter jets and surveillance aircraft, in addition to other warships that accompany the carrier, to the coast of Venezuela as it nears the end of its current deployment in the Mediterranean.

Sending the carrier strike group to the Caribbean is the clearest sign to date that the administration intends to dramatically expand the scope of its lethal military campaign from hitting small boats alleged to be carrying drugs bound for the US to targets on land.

The supercarrier has dozens of F-18 Super Hornet jets that increase the offensive firepower and ability for the US to hit air-defense systems in Venezuela. That would clear the way for US special operations or drones to destroy land-based targets, current and former officials said.

OK, so no fucking clue why we're doing this ~~(oil)~~, but they've cooked up a good story, right?

Donald Trump also confirmed to reporters at the White House on Thursday that the next stage of his military campaign was to hit targets on the ground. “The land is going to be next,” Trump said. “The land drugs are much more dangerous for them. It’s going to be much more dangerous. You’ll be seeing that soon.”

Fucking land drugs. So dangerous compared to drugs on a boat. Think land sharks, but worse.

Asked whether he would declare war against the cartels, Trump suggested he would continue with individual strikes. “I think we’re just going to kill people that are bringing drugs into our country, OK?” he said. “We’re going to kill them, you know they’re going to be, like, dead.”

And this concludes my first-grade book report.

The expanded naval presence “will bolster US capacity to detect, monitor, and disrupt illicit actors and activities that compromise the safety and prosperity of the United States homeland and our security in the western hemisphere”, a Pentagon spokesperson, Sean Parnell, said in a statement.

We may have gotten a more Orwellian word salad this week, but I haven't seen it. I know most Americans read below the sixth-grade level, but, like, toddlers could pick apart some of this "logic."

Oh, look at that ... it's TACO Thursday, like it's an emergency naked bike ride.

Donald Trump canceled plans for a deployment of federal troops to San Francisco that had sparked widespread condemnation from California leaders and sent protesters flooding into the streets.

The Bay Area region had been on edge after reports emerged on Wednesday that the Trump administration was poised to send more than 100 Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and other federal agents to the US Coast Guard base in Alameda, a city in the East Bay, as part of a large-scale immigration-enforcement plan. By early Thursday morning, hundreds of protesters had gathered outside the Coast Guard base, holding signs with slogans such as “No ICE or Troops in the Bay!”.

But just hours later, the president said he would not move forward with a “surge” of federal forces in the area after speaking with the mayor, Daniel Lurie, and Silicon Valley leaders including Marc Benioff, the Salesforce CEO who recently apologized for saying Trump should send national guard troops, and Jensen Huang, the chief executive of Nvidia.

Lurie said he spoke with the president on Wednesday night, and that Trump told him he would call off the deployment.
