really, really impressed with posty: a mastodon archive -> html static site generator

it ingests your mastodon archive (post history) as a zip, and barfs out an entire static html site with indices and tags. all servable with any standard web server.

this is super helpful because when i shut down the dialup.cafe instance, there was no easy way to get access to my old posts and images.

it can either be run online here:

or instructions here for running it locally:

Report: Whistleblower says US has taken no action on several American citizens killed by the Israeli military.

Steve Gabavics was sent to investigate the 2022 murder of journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, who the IDF fired at 16 times while she was wearing a “press" vest.

Gabavics found that Israel intentionally killed Abu Akleh, but the US labelled it “accidental” to appease Israel.

ICE hasn't gone after 1000s of “white” undocumented immigrants, only those coded “brown” or “black."

Ie, "Stephen Miller’s project is a racialist one, not purely about immigration or undocumented immigration."

One of the symbols of whiteness in the US is Europeanness. But Hitler said Italians weren't white. He initially rebuffed Mussolini, preferring to ally with Britain if possible.

Axis: Bold As Love

December 1, 1967 ~ Axis: bold as love is born. The album is released just 7 months after Are You Experienced and critics and fans both took notice. The title track features the first recording of stereo phasing and one of my favorite Hendrix guitar solos. It's #92 on Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" Listen to Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix on Amazon Music ... #jimihendrix #axisboldaslove #jimihendrixexperience #60srock #rock…
