incredible: if you play the wizard of oz and dark side of the moon at the same time your date will leave

absence of QT function makes covering news events here really difficult, fwiw

Little Mastodon tip if like me you find the content warning culture here overly annoying, you can just go into your settings and tell it to auto-show all posts and/or all sensitive posts. So you can effectively get rid of the content warnings for yourself but let everyone else still have them, which is cool.

Anyone who's spent time in smaller online forums has met a mod like Musk. You can tell it's gonna be a disaster from the moment they take over. Using their mod powers to settle personal scores, making up new rules to justify them, apologizing and reversing course, taking polls, offering to step down and then not doing it...

I’m not sure what the legal action would be here, but curious if Lawstodon thinks this would fall under SLAPP? I can’t think of a particularly great rationale for suing over posting publicly available flight records, beyond shutting down Jack Sweeney’s speech.

In 1933, Nazis led torchlit mob into the square and looted the library of the adjoining -Universitat. 40,000 people cheered as they burned over 20,000 books by mainly Jewish, communist, liberal and social-critical authors. Many years later, a panel of glass was set into the ground to mark the spot. It’s a window. Leaning over you can look into a room below. The room is white, lined from floor to ceiling with plain shelves—an empty library. The sort of world we’d live in if the fanatics had won.
