Just called Senator Gillibrand’s office to express how upset I was by her comments on the Brian Lehrer show the other day and got the impression from the tone of the person answering the phone that they’ve been getting a lot of calls like this

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m Mathieu, a 24-year-old freelance UX/UI designer based in France.
I was on the mastodon.design instance for like 2 years, but I just made the move here to social.lol.

I’m really excited about the Fediverse and the way it brings people together across instances, no matter where their accounts live. It feels like the web as it should be 🌍

Big thanks to @adam for welcoming me to such a great server 🙏

Can't wait to connecting with you all! 😄

I've been working on Fedilab and few other open source projects since around 2017. It was a so good experience, having your feedback and your help. At the time I was financially comfortable and it helped me to spend time to develop useful software. But now, I am unfortunately facing some bad events in life. Each month started to be harder for me. I simply don't know how to ask you to help me financially. I have been accepting donations, but it has been to help the projects, not me personally.

#Bluesky is a libertarian manifesto masquerading as an apolitical platform, filled with centrists who think they're progressives, and funded by anarcho-capitalists who are really just neo-cons in Allbirds.

What's not to love?

No, I do not want to log into your site. No, I do not want notifications from you. No, I do not want to subscribe to your newsletter. No I do not want your cookies. No I do not want you to send me offers.

And when you wonder why I am taking my business elsewhere, this is why.

I don't know how recent this change is but I noticed #Firefox removed https:// from the address bar so now every link and every website I visit looks insecure. I know there is a padlock icon next to the address bar but it doesn't seem quite as easily scannable to me.

@denschub someone on here once joked about making something like a mumble server for people to scream into and calling it 'Void over IP', maybe look into that :P

This is from Israel's oldest paper. This is Israeli media reporting these war crimes and genocide in broad daylight.

You won't see this in American corporate media. They've continued to ignore this, enable this, even justify this and cheer it on.

Do not look away. This is genocide. This cannot stand.

I think this will become the preferred version.

New music!

Our latest album, “Nowhere”, is now available in its entirety at https://witchdance.bandcamp.com/album/nowhere for your listening pleasure.

If you enjoyed “51 Miles from Nowhere”, our first release (under our former name, @DoctorDeathray and Her Implements of Destruction) then you’re in for a treat on this second album - it’s what you loved about our first, but more so. In my opinion, it’s a great listen, and I am clearly not biased in the slightest.

So, grab yourself a copy, send a copy to a friend, and pre-order the vinyl physical release to give yourself a nice autumnal treat!

And if you’re in the area, we’ll be playing at https://www.starbaratl.bar/ in Atlanta on July 3rd along with Mostly Strangers, Las Suegra Ska, and Bad Liars - come see the show!

When I pick weeds near the saltbrush and rabbitbrush, a juvenile red-tailed hawk has started landing on the roof above me to see if I startle out any rabbits or nesting birds. Work smarter, not harder, I guess!

I can't believe we're still having to say this in 2025, but would people *please* scroll back to the top of a website when they're finished reading, so it's ready for the next person. We've even got buttons at the bottom to do it all in one go, it's not 1994 any more.

The best trick the wealthy 1% have ever pulled off is to convince the politically vocal (and influential) next 20% that one day they could be super wealthy too, and so increases in tax on the current wealthy, are really increases of tax on their future wealth....

By the time the 20% realise the 1% have made sure they'll never get that wealthy a new generation is waiting to be hoodwinked!
