“AR Gov Sanders suggests course on Black history spreads ‘hate’ against U.S.”

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: Some white people were enslavers. Other white people were abolitionists. If you think teaching that accurate history “spreads hate”—then you’ll have to first explain why you associate more with enslavers than with abolitionists?🤔

Shawn Sill's removal motion is super interesting. Not because he makes a strong case for removal (he doesn't) but because he points the finger at Trump.

If they all start pointing their fingers at Trump, this could get very very interesting.

Obviously, prosecutors love it when defendants start pointing at each other.

• Mr. Still, as a presidential elector, was also acting at the direction of the incumbent President of the United States. The President’s attorneys instructed Mr. Still and the other contingent electors that they had to meet and cast their ballots on December 14, 2020, in order to preserve the presidential election contest.

I am a small business owner.
I just hired my fifth employee.
83% of us are women.
Half of us identify as LGBTQ.
2 of us are Pacific Islanders.
1 of us is African American.
I have been in business for 9 years.
My lowest paid employee makes $23/hr.
We are thriving.

When they tell you you can't build a business model that looks like this, they're lying to you.

We are approaching the peak of #hurricane season in the Atlantic, and there are a lot of us new to #JS8Call.

Might it not be a good idea to do a hurricane drill so we can practice messaging in JS8Call? Could also incorporate #APRS & #Winlink.

I suggest this Sunday. We all pretend we have no power Internet and we pass drill traffic to each other.

Anybody in?

It's important that any traffic we send would be clearly marked as DRILL DRILL DRILL.

A few weeks ago I asked about Fediverse apps that are as unlike as Mastodon as possible. People pointed me to some quite interesting ones, like playing chess over ActivityPub or public transport delay announcements https://social.coop/@J12t/110843539252937792

Today I hear that #Gitlab is working on decentralized merge requests over #ActivityPub! If this comes into being, this could be a really major development for the #fediverse. https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/11247

Panel 2: Amidala, smiling, says "But it won't ruin the document, right?" Panel 3: Word says nothing. Panel 4: The picture of Amidala's face has shifted mostly out of frame and her dialogue "But it won't ruin the document, right?" has somehow broken in half between two panels. (remote)
