Elon Musk attempts to turn Germany fascist by appearing at the AfD party convention this weekend.

How many members of the Bundestag are still using X, thereby supporting his ad revenue?

And all over Europe: If your country has parliament members still on X, ask them why they support the ad revenue of a guy who is spreading fascism.

Hey friends! It’s nearly time for #FOSDEM, the annual free and open source event in Brussels. This weekend, the Mastodon team will be based in building H.

We’ll be raising funds for the project with some of our merch - beautiful limited edition winter mugs, pins, and t-shirts. We’ll also have fun stickers to share for free, so you can show your support for Mastodon everywhere!

(just so you know: we’re a bit short on larger t-shirt sizes, so come early if you want to buy one of those)

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Attachments:

• A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance. (remote)

80 years since liberation. A true horror. And yet, memory fades, and as it does, the temptation to repeat. Every week, people show up in my mentions who think the Holocaust was a good thing (or claim that it never happened). I believe that they're serious; they cannot, must not ever win.

Eighty years ago today, over 7,000 prisoners of the German Nazi camp #Auschwitz, including some 700 children, were liberated by the soldiers of the Soviet Army.

1,689 days of murder, pain, suffering, and humiliation were over.
Today, we all remember. We must keep remembering.

• it’s so bizarre when animated American films are set in a certain location and then only certain characters have the accents of that place. It makes no damn sense!! like The French lady from ratatouille WHY IS SHE MORE FRENCH THAN THE REST OF THEM??? WHY ARE THESE GUYS MORE SCOTTISH THAN THE KIDS?? The Scottish clan Lords from brave bramble patch: To be fair, almost everyone in Ratatouille does have a French accent. The real question is why Linguini and also all the rats sound intensely American If it was just the rats I’d say it’s because the movie can be interpreted to mean that the rats understand but don’t necessarily speak human languages so the rat dialog isn’t literally taking place the way we see it but that doesn’t explain why Linguini has a rat accent (remote)
• dogboy gappy: LINGUINI HAS A RAT ACCENT  jake: Do we ever hear like For sure that Linguini grew up in France tho? It could be possible he’s just an American immigrant that dumb space kid: I mean his name is Alfredo Linguini so I always assumed he was Italian jake: I’m sorry his first name is Alfredo? jake again: screenshot of character bio demonstrating the character is indeed called Alfredo Linguini (remote)
• he’s American you guys his mother was American it was mentioned in the beginning insomniac arrest: I’m sorry, I’ve moved on to the fact his mother was going through her cupboard for baby names Obama warrior: Alfredo was a name before it was a sauce let’s go over the movie from the top again (remote)
• Photo of an Italian chef on the left serving spaghetti to a smiling JFK, in the right of the image This is Alfredo di Lelio (right) the inventor of fettuccine Alfredo, he’d come out to the table and make it in front of you by hand The chap on the left is an airport Reply: I think you might have your left and right mixed up, my friend disgruntled detectives: Great post everyone.

On December 10, 1948, the United Nations General Assembly met at the Palais de Chaillot in Paris, France. A committee, led by Eleanor Roosevelt, created a Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

The assembly adopted this, with no members voting against it. This document affirmed their faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of humans, and in the equal rights of all individuals.

This should be required reading for every person on the planet.

Hey, while we're talking about erasing history:

In 1949 the US military held its first Aeriel Gunnery Competition, later known as "Top Gun."

The best of the best competed in dogfighting and other skills. The team that won, was the 332nd: The Tuskegee airmen.

So they refused to announce a winner. 🤡

Sorry y'all. Maverick is Black.

Too much work to reproduce here, but Colombian President Petro is letting loose on Trump over on the bad place. Anyway here's a translation, and also now we're in a trade war because your president is an idiot with oatmeal for brains. Enjoy paying $15 for a $8 bag of coffee though, this is only the beginning. I hope all world leaders treat Trump like the stupid dirtbag he is. Also, he's a rapist and a felon and should be treated like one.

If I can offer one bit of advice as a washed-up Bush era leftist it’s that getting smug over factually-wrong laws does nothing. Like the “he declared everyone is female” thing. They don’t need the justification to be real, they’ll do it anyway.

Being smug over getting to correct something feels good and can make you feel like you've done something, when you really haven't.
