Millipede and centipede, terrifyingly, imply the existence of larger units such as the pede and kilopede

today’s guy was a 32 year old DACA kid. they scooped him up for possession last August and sent him to ICE detention in Arizona where he contracted COVID. like probably 3/4ths of these people, it says ICE never officially reported a cause of death and it’s still under investigation. Jesus Christ

The ancient Greeks never met one. The Greek name comes from some pseudy colonial who didn't listen when the locals said they called it mvuu.

You better wake the fuck up now. If we don't make their lives ABSOLUTELY FUCKING MISERABLE, we're going be the ones who get shafted. And HARD.

You best believe that everything about the Internet we know is going to die and everything we know and love with it.

I've made my calls today. You need to.

Nostr's founder, @Fiatjaf aka Giovanni Torres Parra, also appears to be far right and posts stuff like "Leftism is a disease," and the dangers of "cultural Marxism."

In an interview, he said Nostr could be a home for "Nazis or racists or whatever" because of its lack of content moderation.

When Gleason left Truth Social, he announced that Soapbox had received a grant from OpenSats, a nonprofit funded by Jack Dorsey, to integrate Nostr.

Poast is essentially the new online home for 4chan and Kiwi Farms users, neo-Nazis, racists, groypers, and other far-right extremists who couldn't find anyone else willing to host them.

During this time and after, he was also an admin for Poast, a subset of vile Fediverse instances that most Mastodon users have no idea exists because its instances are heavily banned by default.

Soapbox and Mastodon were eventually used to create Truth Social (Truth ultimately violated Mastodon's license and was forced to publish its source code). Eventually, Gleason was brought on and served as the Head of Engineering at Truth Social from 2022 to 2023.

An alternative to the behemoth Mastodon is called Pleroma. Its project leads had to ban a code contributor for forcing through changes, being abusive to other developers, and using transphobic and ableist language. That person was Alex Gleason, who created a frontend app for Pleroma called Soapbox.

A while back, I was researching ActivityPub and Fediverse servers and got an obscure, dark history lesson as a byproduct of digging through Git forks, tech specs, and internet lore:

It's funny that "hippopotamus" comes from the Greek words for "horse" and "river," it means river-horse.

What the fuck kind of horses did they have in mind? Ancient Greek horsegirls must have been wild.

Like I am picturing him seeing nothing but hours and hours and hours of surreal fever dream slop with clips of his various weird dipshits lying about various things in as many ways.

It's interesting to think about what Trump's media diet looks like. What are his pedophile freak viziers showing him?

Like, it's gotta be a complete brain-melting soup of genAI slop, supercuts of his freak minions lying on camera, and then more absolute slop.

Trump's press secretary blatantly lying about Spain after Trump threatened to cut off trade

The list of ICE and Customs and Border Protection sex offenders and sex pests is now up to 62.

correct

there is no reason for a single one of them to vote for Mullin (yes, Mr. Fetterman, that means you) and they should make this as embarrassing as possible - which, given Mullin’s extensive track record of putting his foot in his mouth, shouldn’t even be that hard

Iran: check this shit out, I drew a fake tunnel entrance. and labelled it Secret Bunker. The American AI burned a quarter of their remaining ammunition trying to destroy it.

The US: claude, give me bunkers hot in Asian land war visible nipples right altitude big tiddies not fooled by black paint

Iran: check this shit out. I literally just drew a big picture of a soldier on the ground. The American AI spent $150 million trying to kill it.

The US: Claude, give me war plans big tiddies wins in war Montgomery and Rommel visible nipples mastermind plans child-like face

Iran: look, it's simple. We literally just paint the silhouette of a plane on the ground. We literally just nail together some boxes in the shape of a tank. We literally just pull looney tunes shit. Their AI will make them spend $100 million to destroy $5 of arts and crafts.

the US: grok is this

There was a book called the War Magician, somewhat based on the Rommel and Montgomery theatre, all about such as using camel dung to paint to disguise tanks, making wooden tanks to pretend there are movements, mock cities made of just lights to mess up bombing coordinates, etc.

I was looking for two specific ones and found five new ones

A Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump was sentenced to life in prison for child sex abuse Since receiving presidential pardons, dozens of former Capitol rioters have gotten into more legal trouble. In Florida, Andrew Paul Johnson was sentenced to life in prison for child sex abuse.

Funny how this keeps happening

“2026 is a bad year for me, a Democrat, to be running for reelection” - not a thing basically anywhere in the country, and yet

the Dem base wants you to fight, not throw your own constituents under the bus

you can genuinely watch the news anchor not compute in real time

Your pet Democrat was only mad that Trump didn’t fill out the proper paperwork before murdering children.

Tough to choose just 9 but I think my list is solid

Fewer Than 2% Of Older Pedestrians Can Cross The Street In Time The length of the green signal on pedestrian crossings assumes that people can walk at a speed of 1.2 m/s. Scientists find that very few older people can walk that fast.

My March story for @forbes.com has just gone live. It's all about pedestrian crossings and how the timings they're based on no longer match the demographics of our cities ⚛️🧪👩‍🔬

Imagine setting up a romantic date with Leon Kennedy, a fancy dinner and rose petals and all, and he's just scratching his head and going "I need to find a way to get to bed."

You nibble on his neck and he's like "your zombie impersonation could use some work"
