US swing toward autocracy doesn’t have to be permanent – but swinging back to democracy requires vigilance, stamina and elections
The US is swinging like a pendulum between more autocratic and more democratic forms of government. How long will this destabilizing pattern last?The Conversation

Moved my rose bush.
Back in 2020, during the pandemic, I planted a rose bush on the far, left side of my yard. At the time, most people kept to themselves during the pandemic. And after the pandemic, my neighbor's children were still young enough that they kept within the safe confines and closer proximity of their parents.
Time have changed, as they now tend to run through my yard, usually to retrieve their soccer or volley ball, sometimes playing on the edge of my yard by their fence, and common sense did a simple social math equation. Children, plus thorns, is not a good combination. I moved the rose bush and relocated it on the far opposite side of the yard, next to the other bushes, by the older couple's property (where there are no young children).
I tend to keep to myself.
Growing up, I watched far too many people get to know their neighbors only for it to end in drama of some sorts. All it takes is one misunderstand, or one line crossed, and you've got to see your neighbor every time you walk out your door.
On that note, working for Meta (Facebook), I can tell you with certainty, many people lost their minds during COVID and again with Donald Trump, and how the idea of their neighbor, makes them simply irrational.
That said, I don't mind being casually social, helpful if needed, and even being passively helpful. But generally, I hold to the old saying, "don't shit where you eat".
remember when I asked for a replacement for #disqus and then ranted about how none of the available solutions would also integrate with #mastodon?
Well shit. I did it again and scratched my own itch and barfed out another open source project.
Introducing: Meh..
splitbrain.org/blog/2025-03/26…
* single install serves as many sites as you want
* can be used in static websites (it's lightweight web components in the frontend)
* imports Disqus
* fetches Mastodon replies as comments
* supports different languages (so far en, fr, es, de)
* probably has bugs
reshared this
it does now, but only accidentally.
I did some changes in how I handle replies and that meant that I had to delete and reimport all mastodon posts. Normally the system would not pick up edits after the first import (unless the edit gets a new ID, which I hope it does not).

Travel Guide for Grand Turk - Grand Turk Purple Travel Guide

Danish travel company Albatros ends all travel to the US. Chairman Rasmussen:
"We sincerely love the US and its people, and look forward to returning once the US elects a leadership of decency, respect and responsibility.
[…]
When Trump explains his aggression towards Greenland with security, he reveals himself as a compulsive liar.
[…]
Trump and his cronies' treatment of president Zelenskyy, the hideous pressure on Ukraine and the indecent cowering to the Russian psychopath speaks for itself."
@aral yes it is. He said they would honor the agreements they had already made with some girls in the US, but they would not make new deals.
I think that is only fair.
this is not quite true. They're ending *marketing* of trips to the US. It's still possible to book them, they just won't run ads.
"Vi har valgt at stoppe al markedsføring af USA som rejsedestination, så længe klaphatten Trump nægter at genoptage den militære støtte til Ukraine"
Han slår fast, at det ikke betyder, at de kunder, der har bestilt en rejse til USA nu har fået rejsen aflyst, og det er stadig muligt at købe rejser til USA, selv om markedsføringen for rejserne nu droppes. "
