Coca-Cola boycott launched after killings at Colombian plants (2003):
"The unions claim Coca-Cola bottlers hired far-right militias of the United Self Defence Forces of Colombia (AUC) to murder nine union members at Colombian bottling plants in the past 13 years."
And Coca-Cola is one of the better liked corporations. Let’s hope they never get a cocacola.social account 😅 #LinksFromJason

Why is it impossible to get a good bagel outside of NYC? The best bagel I ever had was wrapped in cellophane from a newsstand in Hells Kitchen.
You're telling me a whole bakery can't make one half as good?
Is this my origin story?

“Passing through the 1.5C world is a significant milestone because it shows that the story being told by the United Nations, with the acquiescence of its scientific advisory body, the IPCC, is a load of bullshit,” Hansen said.
“We are not moving into a 1.5C world, we are briefly passing through it in 2024. We will pass through the 2C (3.6F) world in the 2030s unless we take purposeful actions to affect the planet’s energy balance.”

That Trump believes the presidency gives him the right to assassinate political opponents should worry the hell out of us. It's not a hypothetical in his mind, but a preview of his second term agenda should court rulings grant him a "license to kill." #executiveimmunity

Hi fedi! @darius and I are digging into our governance research, and we have a great starter list of server admins to potentially talk to about governance and administration models and challenges, but *very unofficially*, I’d love to hear suggestions, too.
We’re looking at active servers ranging from ~100-2,500 users with some flex on either end of the range, and we’re building our list with an eye on structural, geographic, demographic (along multiple axes), and linguistic diversity.

Speaking as a director of the Veilid Foundation, I see no difference in the data construct you build when using the internet, and your physical or creative being. Those works are a part of you as much as your right hand is. I simply believe that it is morally reprehensible that we can give that up by signing a EULA.
We are entering a very dangerous era of the internet. The data silos are in fact datavores, and they have to continue to devour data wherever they can find it.
They have come to the fediverse, and now they are here to eat YOU. Your data construct/profile/ whatever you want to think of it as.
It is now more imperative than ever that projects like Veilid and Spritely, projects that restore the future we were promised through privacy tooling, become utilized and fully leveraged. Tools like these are armored with encryption and are resilient to the teeth of the datavore.
Your data is not theirs to own.

Oh, this is the song with the lyrics the couple didn't realize are kind of dirty.
Ooh yeah, I remember this one blasting out across the lake during the vows.
Ah it's the one I played at that ceremony for the guy who gaslighted everyone into believing he wasn't cheating when he was.
