Did the Washington Post just take dictation from Musk and his brownshirts for this story? Good grief. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/02/08/doge-musk-goals/

Codeberg.org is under attack by right wing trolls over diversity, equity and inclusion. This is what you get when you enable the goons. They will spoil public resources. This is a good illustration of Popper's paradox on why one should not tolerate intolerance […]

[negative energy / politics / some hope] Musk's abhorrent Sieg Heil and his subsequent denials signify a depressing new low of the Post-Truth era; a man so assured of his own power to warp reality he will unashamedly deny what our own eyeballs have revealed. This situation and chain of events […]

I love that I've been on Mastodon more than 2 years now as my one and only social media platform (apart from LinkedIn, sorta), and I can say with some confidence that most of the accounts I'm interacting with are not bots, but instead are real live human beings with fascinating lives and […]

A powerful excerpt from a post-WWII interview explaining why Germans didn't rise up against the regime. "Each act, each occasion, is worse than the last, but only a little worse. You wait for the next and the next. You wait for one great shocking occasion, thinking that others, when such a […]
