The right dominates the online media ecosystem, seeping into sports, comedy, and other supposedly nonpolitical spaces
As Americans increasingly get their news from online shows and streamers, the influence of this media ecosystem becomes more prominent — and Media Matters has found that the most popular of this content is overwhelmingly right-leaning.Media Matters for America

The only clock whose time is running out is Pierre Poilievre's
Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre spoke about millennial women whose biological clock may be running out during a speech about housing.Toula Drimonis (Cult MTL)
Sure, Pierre, sure.
"Pierre Poilievre has now resorted to trying to convince Canadians that he’s concerned about single moms, seniors and, wait for it, millennial women whose “biological clock” is “running out.”
Good for those Interior employees. Do not comply. Your job is toast either way, but democracy might yet survive.

The image features a portrait of a young woman viewed from the side. Her hair is styled in loose curls, predominantly in shades of brown and orange, with some darker tones adding depth. The curls are voluminous and appear to be gathered up, with some strands framing her face. She is wearing a black spaghetti strap top, which is visible from the shoulder down to the upper chest. The background is a muted, textured beige, providing a neutral backdrop that contrasts with her hair and skin tone. The lighting is soft, highlighting the contours of her face and the texture of her hair. The woman's ear is visible, adorned with a small earring. The overall composition is balanced, with the subject centered and the background unobtrusive, allowing the viewer to focus on her features and hairstyle.
...current weather conditions inside this image: light rain with a chance of pie.

The mas.to moderation team has been suspending tons of these accounts over the past couple of weeks. I hadn’t even seen your post until someone on our team found it today.
For people who don’t know, it’s really hard to preemptively block these accounts. They use different email addresses/IPs and they’re on different instances. So we just have to suspend when we see them.
Wow that was a trip, thanks for sharing. Bookmarked, saved, this is historical canon.

GOP lawmakers eye SNAP cuts, which would scale back benefits that help low-income people buy food at a time of high food prices
The federal government spent $100 billion on these benefits, which are still sometimes called food stamps, in 2024.The Conversation
Boy you should see the numbers MSM used for the protest crowd sizes. I've literally discovered that they downgrade the size to the size grouping below it.
If less than 199 come (dozens): a few
If 200-1999 come (hundreds): dozens
If 1000-9999 come (thousands): hundreds
If greater than 10000 (ten(s of)thousands): thousands
And so on.
I know this because several times people who organized (who I've talked to afterwards to talk about sizes) received size estimates from police (because it's their job). And MSM always downgraded sizes from the estimates.
Welcome to the legacy media "neutrality." When hundreds of thousands go to protests, they write "thousands." When it's millions, they write "tens of thousands."
No wonder that their "approximation" of 1900 is twenty or so.
When I absolutely have to read something in the legacy media, I just mentally multiply the numbers they give by 100.
What About GPT-5? OpenAI CEO Warns of Product Delays Amid Surging Demand

Strikes me that this vulnerability (ht @beep) is basically the decentralized network consequence of “three may keep a secret if two of them are dead.”
(The vulnerability is basically if a post is private or followers-only, then the software on •every• single instance that’s home to every person who has permission to read that post is responsible for keeping it secret, so if even one of those instances is compromised, the post is not secret anymore.) follow.ethanmarcotte.com/@beep…
IIUC, the originating server does need to grant permission for the private posts to be sent in the first place. You can’t just spin up a fedi instance and say to any random server, “Send me user X’s private posts!”
BUT…once the following server has permission to receive the private posts, it is responsible for keeping those secret from its •other• users on the same instances:
“This is where Pixelfed’s vulnerability comes in: Pixelfed was not waiting for a confirmation if a follow request was approved, it assumed that it was automatically approved. That is how any private posts made on (almost) any fediverse server could be leaked: if a Pixelfed server already had the private post (because of someone of Pixelfed followed the locked account with approval), it would show it to anyone else who also tried to follow the locked account, even if the locked account rejected the follow request.”

I'm muting this thread because of all the useless liberal/centrist reply guys thinking that more centrism is what's needed to stop fascism.

take your purity olympics and shove it up your ass
every fucker in this world is impure, including you
what Cory is doing is helpful
if you cared about changing the world for better support him now
or sit in your ivory tower of fake perfection and masturbate your fucking ego about how people are imperfect- you serve no one but yourself
morality is action
judging everyone achieves nothing but fake high holy indignation. it's not morality
support #CoryBooker here or shut the fuck up

Putin signs largest conscription campaign in 14 years, drafting 160,000 men
Although Russian conscripts are typically not deployed in active combat, Moscow has relied on financial incentives and pardons to recruit civilians for the war in Ukraine.Tim Zadorozhnyy (The Kyiv Independent)
A strong arm with claws arrived. Small enough to drive into the living room, strong enough to dig holes or lift logs. With extra trenching and sand bucket.
Had some practice digging and then reinstalled the roof, which to my delight fits through the barn door.
Filled the grease gun and gave it some lube as it's been sitting outside all winter.
Only came with an engine manual, none for the machine itself, which is probably against some EU law.
