the axis of evil but it's Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States

honorable mentions to France, Belgium, Portugal and all other colonialist powers. Double triple extra honorable mention to the Catholic Church, which manages to be exceedingly evil without even being a state actor

Twitter has no real incentive to use ActivityPub

1. They don't control ActivityPub. Anything added/modified to the protocol will be seen as Embrace, Extend, Extinguish

2. No Fediverse instance will federate with them so it won't matter to them. Well, no one with common sense, which I hope covers most sysadmins

3. DRM is coming to a TL near you. Think of HDMI "proto-cables" connecting "producers" and "consumers"

4. Money (See no. 3). Want in? Here's a federation key with your subscription fee

wow is there anything more cowardly than queer organizations refusing to take stances against racism

Us pol, anti-Semitism 

glad to see the new executive order directly ties Jewish nationality to Israel. You know, that country I've never been to, is younger than most of my grandparents, I don't have any sort of attachment to whatsoever, and I'm constantly accused of being an agent of!

the #spacex program means fucking nothing when coupled with a scheme that will rob people of the chance to observe the sky. if its true purpose is to vomit space junk around the earth, it's in fact worse than useless.

please spread the word and get angry about this shit. #starlink is not a savior. it's positioning itself openly as anti-intellectual and anti-science - very viciously so.

If I were Linda, I would be scrubbing myself in the shower to this day, because I would feel so very unclean.

'A biotech entrepreneur gave his New York City public high school a gift of $1 million. “You kind of look back and say, ‘Who do I have to thank for my success?’” said Martin Shkreli, 31. “For me it was definitely my high school,” said Shkreli. “I really cleaned up in the business world. I have to give thanks,” said Shkreli, who gave a special shout out to his math teacher, Linda Aboody. “Ms. Aboody was just a wonderful teacher — her logic class was unbelievably helpful,” he said.'

wait now i wanna write a superhero story where public perception turns against the heroes and they're banned and it turns out it was a great idea and everyone is safer and the superheroes weren't doing good or important things after all, and nonviolent civilians take over important things like directing traffic

and then the final page is just blank with large block letters that say 'this is about the police'

It started off as this clumsy, pun-filled SaTAM, Adventures of Sonic hybrid, and then it got all serious and soap opera-y and filled with the writer's own OCs. It was like some older guy who didn't like Sonic was making Sonic fanfic and still marketing it for kids.

Sometimes I wonder why the Sonic fandom is Like That, but then I remember how fucking bizarre the Archie comic series was

Is it really that hard to avoid Youtube for 3 days, tho?
