After the US has sent a military plane to Greenland with bullet proof cars for driving around Usha Vance, Danish Prime Minister Frederiksen says:
“This is an unacceptable level of pressure from the US, and we will push back. […] The Americans cannot claim, this is a private visit, and no one can read this independently of the statements from them, on their desire to annex another country. […] The future of Greenland is defined by the people of Greenland and no one else.”

The image is a meme featuring a humorous contrast between a historical scenario and a modern party setting. At the top, there is a yellow background with text that reads, "The party having dinner: *Historically Accurate Medieval Barbarian: This was great, I'm gonna fuck some whores wanna come? The party:"
Below the text, there is a black and white image of four characters from an anime. The character on the left is holding a cup and appears to be looking at the others. The second character is wearing a detailed, armored costume and is holding a book titled "Holy Bible." The third character is a young girl with a surprised expression, holding a juice box with a straw. The fourth character is a male with spiky hair, holding a cup and looking sternly at the others.
At the bottom of the image, there is a note that reads, "*not actually historically accurate, but you know what I mean."

Fireside Fedi Show
Fireside Fedi is an attempt to learn more about folks within the Fediverse.Fireside Fedi Show
25 March 1941 | A Dutch Jewish boy, Alexander van der Stam, was born in Amsterdam.
He arrived at #Auschwitz on 6 December 1942 in a transport of 811 Jews deported from Westerbork. He and his mother Flora were among the 795 people murdered in gas chambers after selection.
Just throw this story on a bonfire labeled "But why didn't the victim report the rapist to the police??"

Right. That's kind of the point! The proto-fediverse was dominated by a VC-funded startup -- just like today's ATmosphere. And eight to ten years later the next-generaiton protocols (originally also developed by a corporation) got refined and adopted by a standards bodies -- just like will probably happen with AT Proto.
And presumably just as somebody from a Meta-funded non-profit has repeatedly shut down criticisms of Meta on the W3C ActivityPub mailing list, at some point somebody from a Bluesky-funded non-profit will try to shut down criticisms of Bluesky on whatever standards group is trying to take things forward.
There's a lot to critique with Bluesky but many of the critques apply to the ActivityPub fediverse as well.

@aethrvmn They make more than half their revenue from their merch/products, the other half is an interesting mix of sponsorships (25%ish total) and 'everything else'.
A lot of interesting details given, though only a few concrete numbers. Surprisingly, my channel seems to have a little higher RPM than theirs.

I'm still trying to set mine up. I connected it to my wifi but now my watch keeps getting notifications from someone named Pete saying that we will strike the rebels at dawn?
amazon.com/dp/B0C78NJVWK?ref=t…
At dawn? Why am I always the last to hear. Really guys. I made you a potato salad without raisins. And this is how you help????
I effing hate potato salad but I guessed you would include me in your plans. And I’m done ironing you cape. And Darth. You have a very small dick. Tiny. Tiktac size. I would say fuck you, but it’s hard with such a small dick.
That reminds me. They still have yet to make a professional looking ladies (not girl's or women's sports-related) digital watch with multiple alarms, a character based digital read out, and a watch face that's not more than 3/8" inch thick and has a nicely styled, professional looking watch band made of high quality materials.
Thankfully, I'll probably never go on a job interview again anyway, but I did need a watch like that a few years back.
