Last night the band Stealing Sheep joined us for a special #JoyRide listening party. We played their new album on the soundsystem and everyone decked their bikes out in colourful LEDs (inc. lots of @MCQN_Ltd's My Bike's Got LED kits ๐Ÿคฉ)

They performed from the back of the trike and livestreamed it to their socials (sadly they're not on the Fediverse)

Here's a bit from my phone when we were down at the Pier Head

Key sentence in a story that is interesting on many levels.

"But the dollar is a fiat currency, which means that its value does not depend on the backing of any assets the government owns."

Failure to understand this is the foundation of the #DeficitMyth, the convenient excuse for destroying the US government.

What's the deficit myth besides being expedient?

See L. Randall Wray's "Making Money Work for Us" or the very compact "Money for Beginners."

Although we do not believe this was intentional (and thus are not categorizing this as "misinformation"), we are removing the post as it does not appear to have actually happened. We fact checked this post by researching if there were any news headlines, in the US or elsewhere, that a major European news network had labeled Russia's president as the president of the United States.

Misinformation is spreading rapidly with the current political situation both in the United States and internationally, and it is important to not to contribute to it when and where that can be avoided.

about fact checking funny story. Forbes recorded live a speech from ex VP. She explicitly says a word that had to be striked through on white house transcript. Went viral. So they transcribed what she actually said then crossed out and wrote a new term. The video by forbes said the original speech then approx. 2 months later it changed to the new term. So they edited? most likely . To match what she was supposed to say but WAIT a few months later they changed what she said again..BACK to original recording. Sooo fact checking , funny story. P.S. I have every version recorded.

Was mich hier echt bedrรผckt, ist die Abwesenheit von Diskussionen um die US-Politik auf den groรŸen Bรผhnen. Auf der SXSW wird in jeder zweiten Session die Zukunft vorhergesagt. Wie geht das ohne den Faschismus mit in die Rechnung zu nehmen? Hier sind jede Menge wirklich etablierte bekannte Leute, die Einfluss hรคtten - wenn sie ihn nutzen wรผrden. Hier habe ich gelernt, wieso sie es nicht tun. Und das ist frustrierend. Hier mein aktueller Text dazu.

SXSW 2025: Warum ist der Faschismus hier kein Thema?

Auf der Tech-Konferenz SXSW in Austin zeigt sich, wieso der Widerstand gegen die aktuelle US-Politik so klein ist. Geschwiegen wird aus Angst โ€“ und weil es um Geld geht.

I've always thought my cat looks like Tom Selleck #CatsOfMastodon
A side-by-side comparison of a black-and-white cat and a black-and-white photo of Tom Selleck. The cat has striking green eyes, a serious expression, and black markings on its face that resemble a mustache. Tom Selleck, known for his iconic mustache and intense gaze, has a similarly serious expression. The resemblance between the two is uncanny.

A small, fluffy dog with a white and light gray coat tilts its head slightly, sticking out its tiny pink tongue. Its large, round, dark eyes and perked-up ears, one of which is darker, give it an endearing and curious expression.
