  FRI-day, FRI-day, get your Bandcamp Friday... I invite you to go find something hoopy and froodish and give an indie artist ALL THE LOOT (i.e. Bandcamp takes none)... This is what I'm getting, YMMV. (Yes, it is, at least in part, a protest against AI...) #BandcampFriday #MusicByHumans #fuck_ai #music

  Fifty-seven years ago tonight. 400,000 people worked for a decade to put two sets of bootprints somewhere other than here... and the world was never the same.

From out there on the Moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles ou...

  #uspol #hope This is a bit wild, and also hope-full. This is what happens when somebody who isn't, but makes noises like, an NPR reporter, sits down to breakfast with a bunch of Republicans and starts asking gentle questions. tl;dr there's a fair bit of bluster and so on from the people still wearing Hats, but there are more people in the group who are for decency and caring for one another than you'd think. https://patricemersault.substack.com/p/part-2-a-funny-thi...

(It's _also_ anti-Islamist.) And threatens to, and I quote, "crush" such people. In short, it just declared me, and a lot of you, terrorists. I'mma just post the article here, and then thread my opinions. https://www.moth...

  #Fuck_AI #climate #deGoogle #fascism I'm well aware of the fact that getting rid of Google in your life is ..... non-trivial. However, comma, switching browsers is probably the closest to trivial you can get, and it's a huge win. Like, 4GB huge, among many other things. It's time to ditch Chrome if you haven't already. https://www.thatprivacyguy.com/blog/chrome-silent-nano-install/

  RE: https://mastodon.world/@nlnews/116514652115395925 I don't care. Buses are meant to serve the many. They will be slower than a direct bike route, and that is OKAY. (It's also DRY...) The 30 zones keep people safe (especially when rude people block the fietspad and we have to merge)...
