Checking in on this. Not too bad!

No composable moderation yet, but the rest of the list looks pretty solid!

https://hachyderm.io/@mekkaokereke/113506002032852095

So Mastodon got quote tweets and improved moderation tools, and the world didn't end.

Again, I'm not here to argue with people, or to ask for your permission. I'm here to help make Mastodon better, safer, and more welcoming for Black people.

If that's your goal too, then cool! We can talk about how best to accomplish that.👍🏿

If that's something that you are fundamentally against, because you think everything is just fine how it is, or because you don't want millions more people on the Fediverse, then we are against each other. We don't have to talk about it. We don't need to meet half way, or have debates about it. We can just get right into it.

Anyone else in US notice some consumer items are in short supply? A few times in the past week I've run into supply issues that surprised me. Today it was an REI cool weather running pant -- at a time of year when they would sell a lot of them.

As their vision of an ethno-state dominated by wealthy white Christian men has come under pressure, they believe any measure – regardless of how extreme – is now justified.

The conflict that shapes America today is the latest iteration of a very old struggle.

Absolutely incredible stuff coming out of Bozo The Clown School of Economics.

1. convince everyone you're going to fix the economy by slapping tariffs on everything.

2. Tell Americans that other countries will pay the tariffs, even though tariffs are paid by importers (you).

3. Americans gets mad when beef prices go up because as it turns out, importers do in fact pay the tariffs.

4. That's ok, the tariffs were really about rewarding companies who produce goods locally, so at least the American farmers are happy.

5. Wait, never mind. Other countries have started importing beef from elsewhere because US beef is too expensive now.

7. Don't worry though, it's all part of the plan. We will fix this by simply giving $20 billion dollars of taxpayer money to Argentina.

8. Ok, that didn't seem to have worked. Maybe if we announce we're going to give them $40 billion dollars instead?

9. Hmmm, bailing out Argentina doesn't seem to have fixed the US economy.

10. Lower Argentina's beef import tax rate to less than it was before you got into office, costing US farmers even more money.

11. Somehow all of this is actually good and part of a completely sane economic policy, I'm just too dumb to understand the grand plan.

MAGA - Make Argentina Great Again?

The arson caused £1 million in damage and required 60 firefighters to control the blaze at the Leyton warehouse, which stored Starlink satellite equipment and supplies bound for Ukraine.

The judge called it part of a "planned campaign of terrorism and sabotage" serving Russian state interests.

Police found a Russian flag, £20,000 cash, and cocaine in Earl's home, along with phone messages showing he'd planned to kidnap a Russian dissident and discussed arson attacks in the Czechia. ⤵️
