"I have not committed any crimes. I have not been funded by ActBlue, or by George Soros – that name is simply a tired antisemitic dog whistle. I’m not inspired by Luigi Mangione nor have I ever said that I am. I am not encouraging any vandalism. Nobody is getting paid to come to these protests. I am not the leader of Tesla Takedown. In fact, no one is."
I bought a bunch of nice storage boxes and have had the BEST time tidying stuff into them.
Unfortunately I made the mistake of tidying some of my partner's stuff while they were in the bathroom, so one box got anxiously unpacked and repacked with a bunch of stuff left out because "it needs to sit here!"
As I am also #neurodivergent, I of course apologised and helped.
@alan Were they throwing out things of yours?? 😬 I don't do that, at least. I just hate looking at clutter, my mind is noisy enough without adding visual noise.
Yep. All the time. "No immediate use for this, out it goes" was the philosophy. I'd take it out, put it back where it belonged, and sometimes this process would repeat a few times, until they figured it out. I would have protested more loudly, but the lack overall of clutter actually made for a better space to live in, so it was a relatively small price to pay.
new linux users it's important to note that we fucking hate dbus but there's not really an adequate replacement so we bitch and moan while still using dbus. this is perfectly normal don't worry about it
I used Linux for well over ten years before dbus existed, but the length of time between dbus installing itself on my Ubuntu and dbus breaking was very short indeed

You know what, I think I can speak for all of us over on the Critters 2 side of the house in congratulating the Yeti Party on a well-run campaign. We all wanted it, but in the end it was clear this time around y'all just wanted it more, and we of the Critters Party look forward to a collegial, bipartisan, and productive #monsterdon session. #concession
@djwfyi especially considering that even if the EU does have aggressive tariff policies (honestly have no idea) I’m pretty sure they don’t get implemented BY ONE GUY
Three Hollywood movies were released in 1995 with internet themes: the Keanu Reeves cyberpunk film Johnny Mnemonic (with an accompanying website), The Net with Sandra Bullock, and Hackers.
This week I submitted the index for “Sacred Wonderland: The History of Religion in Yellowstone”—my final task before publication. I began work on the book more than 20 years ago, and at times I wasn’t sure it would get finished. But now, it’s done. I still hardly believe it. The book will be published in July by University of Nebraska Press – more information at: sacredwonderland.us/sacred-won… #SacredWonderland #Yellowstone #NationalParks #history #ReligiousHistory #ReligiousStudies #WritingCommunity
MEDFORD, OR—Despite evidence that the planets are aligned in his favor, local pagan Jeff Birch, 27, said Monday that he would "rather have a peaceful weekend at home" than attend his family’s Vernal Equinox celebration on March 21.
Maybe don't give the responsibility of handling trans rights laws to men that give off the impression that they'd pretend to be women to pick up lesbians.
Hey Pete Hegseth, you may not 'do climate change crap,' but climate change does America -- fueling conflicts, worsening resource wars, and proving that tough-guy posturing won’t stop the next crisis.
Hi God, I haven't asked for anything since the 1971 World Series (Game #7), but today I'm asking.
To combat misinformation like is used against the science of Climate Change, we need sources of good information, free from monied interests.
So how about a shout out to Wikipedia if you think it deserves it. I think it does, and I just upped my monthly donation. It may not be perfect, but also maybe if they had the funds, they could more easily address some of their issues.
Perhaps the least surprising things to show up at Vancoufur this year: The Connections Museum having a stall and one of the artists bringing an Amiga to do commissions on. #vancoufur2025

I honestly wonder whether Apple genuinely expected the Personal Context features of Apple Intelligence to be ready by now, or if the WWDC clips and ads it ran were just an optimistic smokescreen.
It's funny, but when I think of factory farms, I don't think of the people -- I use the term loosely -- who run them as "farmers". I just think of CEOs like the ones who've ruined my little world (biotech). To me, "farmer" conjures up the kids I went to school with and their parents, who actually dug in the dirt to grow food. Factory farms make me think of some slick bastard in a suit who's never had dirt under his carefully manicured nails.
@sennoma you're right, and there are good farmers who don't do this stuff. but I think most food in the UK comes from factory farms, which most people think are just farms run by farmers...
oh christ, I've been wondering why Im in just an utterly black mood today.
Terry Pratchett died 10 years ago today.
That day I walked to the store, bought a plastic bottle of vodka, and drank most of it while crying at a public park.
a few days later I got "How do they rise up" tattoo'd on my inner bicep.
Generally considered a femme place to get a tattoo but I liked it anyways. #ThereWereNoSigns
Its hard to put into words what that man and his Works meant to me. What they still mean to me.
He taught me "Dont get scared, get angry"
That "there is no justice. There is just us."
That revolutions rarely help the people who need help, they usually just swap one ruling body for another.
That your gender expression is whatever the fuck you want it to be and letting generations of dead people decide otherwise for you is not just stupid but a fate worse than death.
That sin begins when you treat people as things. Especially yourself.

Tesla Takedown is a completely decentralized movement with hundreds of protests taking place around the globe, drawing many thousands of people out of their homes and on to the public sidewalks to stand up for programs that support poor people, older people, veterans, the sick. Out of care and concern for others – a foreign concept to those currently in power – people are offering what they can to help. I’ve offered to schlep supplies, and helped someone find a bullhorn. The environmentally focused Seattle organization I’m a part of, Troublemakers, hosts a map where other people and groups can post the locations of forthcoming demonstrations. Troublemakers has about $3,500 in its bank accounts. All of this is a bare-bones, low-budget, people-powered movement – which is exactly why Musk is afraid of it, and casting about to find a villain.
There are currently 91 Tesla Takedown protests planned across the world this coming

There are currently 91 Tesla Takedown protests planned across the world this coming weekend, and there will be more the weekend after that. If there isn’t one at the Tesla showroom nearest you, you can start one just by showing up with some friends or family, maybe making some cardboard signs.
Reps of Trump’s family have held talks to take a FIN stake in the US arm of crypto exchange Binance, a move that'd put Trump in bus with the firm that pleaded guilty in 2023 to violating anti-#moneylaundering requirements.
At the same time, the founder, Zhao—who served 4 months in prison after pleading guilty to a related charge—has been pushing for the Trump admin to grant him a pardon.
#Palestine-Israel / Legal analysis of Israel's proposed Citizenship Amendment, a legal disenfranchisement of Arab citizens' children born in Gaza (by Yael Ronen, a professor of international law)
The proposed amendment to Israel's Citizenship Law, as announced by the Ministry of Interior on March 3, 2025, represents a significant deviation from #Israel's established “jus sanguinis” citizenship framework by denying citizenship to children of Israeli citizens born in "enemy states" or Gaza.
This legislative initiative, which fails to acknowledge its disproportionate impact on Arab Israeli citizens despite legal requirements to do so, contravenes Israel's obligations under international conventions, including the Convention on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and t

#Palestine-Israel / Legal analysis of Israel's proposed Citizenship Amendment, a legal disenfranchisement of Arab citizens' children born in Gaza (by Yael Ronen, a professor of international law)
The proposed amendment to Israel's Citizenship Law, as announced by the Ministry of Interior on March 3, 2025, represents a significant deviation from #Israel's established “jus sanguinis” citizenship framework by denying citizenship to children of Israeli citizens born in "enemy states" or Gaza.
This legislative initiative, which fails to acknowledge its disproportionate impact on Arab Israeli citizens despite legal requirements to do so, contravenes Israel's obligations under international conventions, including the Convention on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
The amendment's purported justification—that children born in these territories inherently possess "identification and loyalty" to those entities—lacks empirical foundation and conflicts with established legal principles regarding citizenship acquisition, thereby constituting what critics characterize as a demographically motivated policy that further marginalizes an already vulnerable population segment within Israeli society.
Pointing out that 'it contravenes israels obligations' after all the contravening israel has been doing is bs. They are still acting as if israel is 'the only democracy in the middle east'. It isnt a democracy and it could care less about international humanitarian law. Saying so would be proper journalism.
It’s a game Israel’s legal system is still playing, so for the sake of claimed complementarity (implying independence of the the judicial system) there are some rules, which the international community sort of holds Israel accountable for and its reperesentaoves wave in international forums (ie ICJ), while current and previous coalition made it clear they don’t give a f about. Now that the U.S. lets Israel do whatever they want, and still get aid, it’s even less relevant. Israel’s courts are the main whitewashers of the occupation. It’s been shown over and over.
this paper is by a intenrational law expert for a think tank called regthink. independent outlets do discuss this issue often btw, see recently kolektiva.social/@oatmeal/1141…
Quoting Uri Weiss (a legal scholar and game theorist):
[...] "Decisions by legal advisors and judges in Israel removed Gaza residents from the protection of the law, and this is what enabled the mass killing in Gaza.

Die russischen Streitkräfte haben nach eigenen Angaben die von der Ukraine besetzte Stadt Sudscha im russischen Gebiet Kursk wieder unter Kontrolle. Nach dem Vorschlag einer Waffenruhe sind nach Kreml-Aussagen US-Unterhändler auf dem Weg nach Moskau.
Putin-Berater sieht in Waffenruhe lediglich ukrainische "Atempause"
Aus Russland kommt deutliche Kritik an dem US-ukrainischen Vorschlag einer Waffenruhe. Präsident Putins Berater Uschakow sprach von einer "Atempause" für die Ukraine, russische Interessen seien nicht bedacht.
DLRG-Bilanz 2024: Mehr als 400 Menschen bei Badeunfällen ertrunken
Im vergangenen Jahr sind in Deutschland so viele Menschen ertrunken wie seit 2019 nicht mehr. Mindestens 411 Menschen starben laut DLRG in deutschen Gewässern. Auffallend ist, dass mehr ältere Menschen unter den Toten waren.
