The rabbit piped up, with ears standing tall,

If a website's slow, can't load at a speed,
That means I might miss sharing all that I need!"The wise owl agreed, as he ruffled his feathers,
"A web that’s fair means connecting by measures.
But without rules to guide, like a map for us all,
The weak and the small may just tumble and fall."

In a world where screens light up the night,
There lived a wise owl, who saw a great fright.
"It's not just for games or funny cat memes,
Our internet's important, or so it seems!"He spoke to the creatures, in the tree and the glade,
"We must stand together, it's time to not fade.
For if net neutrality takes a step back,
What happens to freedom? That's what we must track!"

this is an absolutely terrible ruling for consumers, and a blow against the free flow of ideas and against normal operations of "the marketplace". this is an example of why courts *should* defer to agency experts, and should remind us that civil servants make better long-term-thinking decisions & generally produce better recommendations than politicos.

If the reports of the Las Vegas Cybertruck driver are accurate, that makes a second sizable violent act by someone with a military background.
Maybe we should figure out all of the ways we’re failing veterans and actually try to fix the problem?

like banning any other form of communications, this censorship attempt goes against the core values upon which our nation was founded.
when Government tries to control what and how People are allowed to communicate, that is an attempt at establishing dictatorship & thought control. this is wrong, period.

“So, in response, many NSA employees were like, ‘No, fuck off, I’ll play Pokémon Go all over base'” | …and yet Australia expects to successfully ban teenagers from social media?
This glorious quote is in the attached; if the NSA cannot enforce fearmongering-based operational security discipline over actual employees, what hope do Governments have of coercing (rather than educating) teenagers?

Canadian teen who became critically ill with #HPAI #H5N1 first sought medical treatment on Nov. 4. After intensive care with multiple anitvirals, intubation, and ECMO, it was Dec 18 by the time she could come off supplemental oxygen.
Meanwhile, H5N1 continues to spread worldwide in wild birds and into poultry and has resulted in significant mortality of mammalian wildlife, and a variant that seems milder in exposed humans has adapted to dairy cows. No government on Earth is prepared for what happens if the highly virulent strain of H5N1 adapts to transmission in humans. Unless it loses virulence, IMO it will be our modern version *not* of the 1918 flu, but rather of the Black Plague. https://globalnews.ca/news/10938653/b-c-teen-avian-flu-patient-recovers-oxygen/

Depriving ppl of artificial light re-induced this way of sleeping.

Mastodon FeedHey, I'm on the tee vee!
I'm really curious about how this prop came about, in the mediocre 2019 Jean Reno movie Cold Blood Legacy where Ukraine stands in for the ass-end of British Columbia. Do I get an IMDB credit for this? In case you were wondering, that is not my phone number.
