Elon Musk is helping Turkish dictator Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, by closing Turkish accounts on X, so protesters cannot organize protests against the Erdoğan regime, following Erdoğan's illegitimate arrest of the main opposition presidential candidate Ekrem Imamoglu.

Don't buy the #Swasticar.

in reply to Randahl Fink

@Loungeiguana genuine question: why? Is there something fundamental which means X is preferable to a decentralized locally run system like Mastodon? Surely war is the greatest motivator to make change and not use the 'everyone else is using it' excuse for not changing?
in reply to Raglan Niall

@Niall I think politicians from all countries have demonstrated a clear unwillingness to make ideological decisions about their social media presence.

In Denmark, the most left wing parties bought X subscriptions instead of leaving. They are literally campaigning on fighting the evil oligarchs… while sponsoring Elon Musk.

ich könnte euch damit ⬇️ noch einmal kommen... 😂

And the orangeman is now attacking @marcelias which means to me, that trump is scared.

So, I say to all lawyers, keep your spine intact.

Do not fold like Paul Weiss did.

Oh, that guy.

souhlas, původně jsem měl ambici se na ten kód podívat a optimalizovat ho trochu, aby byl úspornější, ale nakonec jsem to vyřešil právě variantou nRF. Mám tu ještě Xiao RP2040 pro repeater, ale zatím jsem to nerozjel, možná později.

She arrived at #Auschwitz with her mother Caroline & brother Wolf on 4 November 1942 in a group of 954 Jews deported from Westerbork. They were among 904 people murdered after selection in a gas chamber.

Have you ever heard the term "Indian Tree"?

Have you ever heard the term "Indian Pond"?

Imagine you were living in the wild hundreds or thousands of years ago in North America.

Where would you go to survive?

Some may think about a cave. But there is no food there. And caves may not be available even if there is food nearby.

So, you figure out how to survive near food.

Back in 2020, Reporters without Borders teamed up with Minecraft to build an in-game library of censored books. They call it The Uncensored Library.

My friend @SrRochardBunson just reminded me about it. I forgot all about it, and didn’t even know it was still rolling.

Thanks nature. I had a longer lens, the right focus, enough light and I was moments earlier thinking of the local pro photographer's dolphin photo, having just seen them on the path to here.

And then this happens.

(Pics are phone photos of the camera display. Will be much better later, could be a while as moving is a ... nuisance).

Whatever you do, do NOT submit this DOGE job application with a bunch of bogus data that will bog down their efforts to recruit additional people. That would do nothing but annoy them. So don't do it.

THE PET TURTLE

Bayraktar the turtle lived in the daycare that was badly damaged by the Russian attack on Zaporizhzhia.

Rescuers found him alive, got him from under the rubble and reunited Bayraktar with his owner. Look how happy she is to have him back!

🔴 NEW: The Ministry of Defence has been accused of trying to avoid responsibility for cleaning up a military nuclear site on the north coast of Scotland by making it “someone else’s problem”.

Find out more: theferret.scot/nuclear-clean-u…

in reply to The Ferret

But no decision has been taken on who will pay for the site’s multi-million pound clean-up, including dismantling and disposing of two defunct, radioactive reactors. Unlike some civil nuclear sites, military sites do not have any funding set aside for decommissioning.
in reply to The Ferret

Campaigners are concerned that the Ministry of Defence (MoD) could escape paying for the pollution it has caused at Vulcan and other military sites. They are demanding transparency, and calling on the Scottish Government to block any “backroom transfer” that undermines Scotland’s interests.

I love stories like this: "In the 1940s, there were fewer than 20 whooping cranes left. Today, there are more than 800, though they are still an endangered species."

A man learned to dance with a crane born in a zoo in the 60s, which ultimately laid a viable egg, which produced 26 offspring and one of these became the first of its lineage to breed in the wild.

Shortly after the Brexit referendum I asked myself how many years of self-inflicted pain the UK will endure before asking to join the EU again.

With this petition going for 150k signatures and thus entering parliamentary discussion soon, it looks like that moment is near.

It looks like everybody is done waiting for Farage’s promises of more political relevance, more funding for the NHS and less wealth inequality outside of the EU to come true.
