I’d like to give a shout out to @gerrymcgovern for his book to be released on February 2 .

I’m in the process of reading it.

All of us here are well aware of his tireless efforts to raise awareness of the cost of AI and data center operations to our pocket books, our and the planet’s health.

I’d like to encourage people to boost Baldur’s post. On mastodon people are the algorithm. Let’s do this.

cromulent fuckcrustable is a deep cut. I wonder what that guy is up to these days. I wonder if he changed his mind about Bernie. I wonder if he still needs a drinky. I miss old twitter. https://web.archive.org/web/20210526154506/https://twitter.com/tomjorgenson12/status/1271261948731174913

A decade of resistance lib posting has absolutely cooked everyone's brains, and now they post like the product of crossbreeding heckin cromulent fuckcrustable guys with '90s Republicans who said "demonrats" on AM radio.

I finished my lil crochet mouse and he is so darn cute

Birdseye view of a crochet mouse. He is mostly white, with pink ears, pink feet and a pink curly tail. He has a long snout with a pink end and two black beads for eyes.

As a company that has long boasted about its commitment to principles, Apple has had a bad several months. It removed ICE Block from the App Store. It let X remain, empowering its users to create child porn, which is apparently “free speech” now. After two American citizens were killed by ICE, Tim Cook responded by attending a special screening of the Melania documentary. It’ll be hard to believe that Apple believes anything it says after all this. When principles mattered, Apple collapsed.

This is Norbert. He was Max's brother

He was an adventurer, an explorer, a glorious agent of absolute chaos

When one of us left the house, the other would have to distract him. If he saw me cycling away, he'd run along the pavement excitedly. He would have happily followed me the 12 miles to work, loving every second

I don't believe in ghosts, but I make an exception for Norbert. He is with me everywhere I go, sitting on my shoulder, still fascinated by the world

#CatsOfMastodon #cats #pets

Two black cats are sitting outside on a ground-floor balcony. Norbert, the cat in the foreground, has a white crest on his chest. He is turning his head to the left to look at the person taking the picture. Max, the cat in the background, is turning his head round to the right, also to look at the person taking the shot (probably because I made a noise to get their attention)

Hootsuite signing a contract with ICE in this environment is profoundly shameful.

They know very well their social media monitoring tools will be misused to attempt to punish ICE's targets and citizen protestors.

We deleted our account with them, others should too!

Please don't think that you can stop a Nazi by pointing out hypocrisy or by pointing out that they are lying.

They know. It is a feature, not a bug.

When a fascist lies to you, they are displaying power. "I know I am lying. You know I am lying. What the fuck are you going to do about it."

When a fascist lies to other fascists, they are displaying loyalty. "I know I am lying. You know I am lying. We do this because it is how we show allegiance to the cause."

In this way, fascism is inherently an empty ideology. It stands for nothing. It believes in nothing. It can therefore lie about everything.

Except one thing: power.

Fascism MUST lie. It MUST deceive. It MUST play to baser beliefs like racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and xenophobia, because it has literally nothing of value to offer.

They know this. We know this. That is why they lie.
