Ways to resist fascism. Drawing of a megaphone : once you have properly identified fascist rhetoric, don’t let it go unchallenged. Speak up when you witness attempts to normalize it. Picture of a book titled "resist". Knowledge is power. Learn, read, discuss about fascism and the ways fascist discourses can permeate culture and find its way in everuday conversations. Picture of someone doing a roman salute. Many hands are pointing at him. Laugh at fascists and their ideas. Take every opportunity to subject them to ridicule. The power people give them largely stems from sentimentaalinen of fear and inevitability, but they are all incompetent, insecure cowards. Picture of a button press. Most importantly, get involved in your community. Find roles for yourself and others. You might not topple a fascist government today, but you can find purpose and strength to live to fight another day.

Mastodon user posts Anakin Padme meme: I just got banned from my decentralized social media platform. So you migrated to a new instance right? You CAN migrate to a new instance, right?

They're cooking this place over on Mastodon

Banning controversy reveals Bluesky’s federation isn’t there yet Bluesky’s protocol is so complicated that not even the biggest alternative network has figured out how to become independent

“Bluesky claims to want decentralization and composable moderation, but they still enjoy abusing the power of arbitrary banishment.” - Link

Jay was furious Link asked her to be a moral agent and so did the closest thing she could to killing him, and figured out a way to lie about him being the violent one.

“I don’t wish death on Jay, I wish for her and her team to grow a conscience. I disagree with the decision and how it was handled. My account was taken down without any explanation for almost a full day in what can only be viewed as a retroactive ban.” grow a conscience is why Link was banned

I've always had a soft spot for DOOM 3.

Sure, with a heavier focus on horror over the "run and gun" gameplay the series is known for, DOOM 3 was kinda divisive. Still, it really nailed a creepy atmosphere, scares, and a much darker tone.

It's an effective horror game and deserves more attention.

The Link banning controversy reveals Bluesky’s decentralized aspiration isn’t reality.

Hey @jay.bsky.team, keep going! @aaron.bsky.team will love it when this place is all porn bots!

Her contempt is extraordinary.

Trump thinks he's a king. He believes he's accountable to no one. Not Congress. Not the American people.

And so when his people testify before the Senate, they act like they are bound by no rules and no laws.

This is how propaganda works. They slapped an image on this from Los Angeles in 1992 during Rodney King riots.

Fuck me if this hasn't been the American response to Brexit, even from people I thought I could trust.

Americans spent summer 2016 pissing themselves laughing at Brits but the moment Trump got in demanded sympathy because apparently the far right are only a problem when it happens to them.

This feels like sealioning, "Just asking questions"

If you actually wanted answers, you'd have them

We have complained long and loud about the toxicity, offered solutions, even tried to implement some

Instead of listening, we got WAFFLES, mod lists banned and Jesse Singal still allowed to post

the heads there look even more constipated than usual for Space Marines

I've always assumed that female space marines are too sensible to take their helmets off on a battlefield. So the majority.

I was hoping the new Deathwatch Kill Team set would have at least ONE female head in it.

Aquilons? Breachers? A few in each. Deathwatch kit just has five new varieties of hipster beards.

GW will literally give us five new space marines who clearly run podcasts before letting girls don the armour.

Gonna be fun watching the Sweatlords implode with both "female spacemarines are unreallistic" and "why don't these like delicate princesses?!" simultaneously

Police Said They Surveilled Woman Who Had an Abortion for Her 'Safety.' Court Records Show They Considered Charging Her With a Crime Court records show that the narrative Flock and a Texas Sheriff's Office has told the public isn't the whole story, and that police were conducting a 'death investigation' into the abortion.

NEW: In May, a Texas police department said they used the powerful Flock surveillance network against a woman who had an abortion "for her safety"

Newly obtained court records show it was a 'death investigation,' and they considered charging her with a crime

AI:
expensive, and EXPENSIVE.

The extra costs and reputational damage this foists on Deloitte (who should know better) are a big nail in AI's coffin.

Honest, good faith answer: the post below and others like it felt like toxic trolling to me.

They impacted my day-to-day experience by making me suspect that this site would become more unsafe for me and many others and made me spend a lot of time researching other PDSes.

Lise Meitner - Wikipedia

Today's reading begins with Lise Meitner, who co-discovered nuclear fission (she wrote the paper!) and was in general an INCREDIBLE trailblazing scientist.

Except, as a Jew, she had to flee Nazi Germany to Sweden and lost her professorship in Berlin. The men she worked with got the prize instead 🧪🔭

Oooh the Nobel Prize is out today, so it's time for my yearly round of ignoring that news and reading about many of the women who were snubbed of the prize in the past and who the Nobel Prize committee refuses to apologise for. 🧪🔭

1. This is often attributed to Everett Dickson, but he didn't originate it. He was happy to take credit for it, though.

going to tank the entire global economy

even Australia, which tends to be bullish when the rest of the world is bearish, will take a huge hit because of how big mining is as a part of the economy

you have to understand

I may sound like I'm joking when I paraphrase an unattributed NY Times wag¹ from 1938 with "a billion here, a billion there, and it adds up to some real money" but even on the scale of the US economy a trillion dollars US is a *lot* of money

when this bubble bursts it's…

Notice of Zoning Violation on official City of Portland letterhead

I dunno if I'm the last one to hear about this? But the reason the president is sending the *National Guard* to Portland is because the city mailed the government's landlord...a zoning violation notice?

They are sending in the troops to avoid "a monthly code enforcement fee"??
