Chuck Tingle has come to our rescue. He has released not one but TWO FREE tinglers regarding the current state of emehrgency:

Steampunk without commentary on the exploitative machinations of imperialism is not steampunk.

Cyberpunk without commentary on capitalism's efforts to buy the world out from under us is not cyberpunk.

Solarpunk without commentary on how to grow a brighter future for everyone instead of submitting to gloom is not solarpunk.

These three make a trifecta of how capitalism took over, what can happen if it continues, and how to prevent it from doing so. What was, is, and still could be.

nurse: Have you ever had any sexual contact with a man?

Dracula: What is a man?!

nurse, sighing heavily: Sorry, sir. Have you ever had any sexual contact with a miserable little pile of secrets?

daily reminder that any idea you have of what a non-binary person ought to look like is incorrect

Hey #MastoAdmin and friends of server admins, have you checked up on your friends' instances lately?

The recent LetsEncrypt bug has caused a lot of instances to suddenly have invalid certificates over the past few days.
https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/2020-02-29-caa-rechecking-bug/114591

It's causing lots of instances to drop off the fediverse, and a storm of delays in the back-end, so if your timelines seem slow, that's probably why.

what's the best email provider these days? i'd rather not use gmail anymore
