Not enough Americans equate 100 years of Jim Crow Laws with fascism and that bothers me. Utilizing imagery of Anne Frank and the gestapo instead of lynchings, forces sterilizations (the Mississippi Appendectomies), internment camps, and sun down towns adds unnecessary layer of distance. It incorrectly asserts that fascism is this foreign thing that the US has never known, much less allowed. This could not be further from the truth. b.sharise

5-panel comic by War and Peas Panel 1: The Grim Reaper stands before a rack of scythes, pondering, “So, which scythe am I in the mood for today?” Panel 2: Lord Nibbles – a smug-looking black cat lounges on an ornate chair, pointing with its claws and saying, “Ohh, take that one!” Panel 3: The Grim Reaper looks at a shiny red scythe, saying, “My ruby-crested reap of doom, haha. I take this one for reaping the really rich.” Panel 4: Then, while looking at a list, he adds, “But there are no billionaires on today’s list.” Panel 5: The cat, now gripping a golden dagger, grins mischievously and says, “That can be arranged.”

Someone reminded me today 9 years ago I submitted my first post on Mastodon—using curl on the command line, since there was no interface at the time. That's how the journey began! 9 years is a long time to be doing something. Those early years are still fresh in my mind though.

I have a dumb question or I may be bit data nerd, I will check Admin Docs.

How can I monitor how many new users joining in particular mastodon servers? I don’t own a server as of now. But I am thinking of hosting one. Can I export such data to my dashboard like Grafana for the servers I own and don’t own through any open API?

How much would you be willing to risk for fashionable shoes?

#Germany #folktale #folklore #Devil @germany @folklore
patreon.com/posts/possessed-by…

Why Crakow Shoes fell out of Fashion: (See Hennenberger p. 279.) At the end of the 15th century, Prussia was very fond of high fashions. Crakow, or “beaked” shoes with very long tips were especially popular. One had a tip with a length of one finger, another one with a length of a span, the tip of the third one was half an ell long, and so forth, however they pleased. At the time, at Marienburg, the son of the Hauptmann was possessed by the Devil. And when the Devil was banished at the gate in front of the image of the Virgin Mary, he said that he would be happy to leave, as long as it was permitted to him to hide in the beaks of the shoes. Then those beaks were removed entirely, for from that moment on no one wanted to wear shoes with pointed tips. Source: Grässe, J. G. T. Sagenbuch des preussischen Staats. Zweiter Band. 1869, p. 603f.

The US semiconductor industry faces a critical shortage of 300,000 engineers by 2030. Universities are launching specialized programs to train the next generation of chip designers and manufacturers. An engineering professor explains: buff.ly/983KEMU

The push to restore semiconductor manufacturing faces a labor crisis − can the US train enough workers in time?

Bringing chip manufacturing back to America is a national security and economic priority, but a shortage of skilled workers threatens to derail the effort.
