@futurebird while cycling this morning, I stopped on a bridge in a wooded area, and noticed these guys. The video doesn't do it justice, there were *so* many, the line stretched across the entire bridge. Most of them were carrying these pieces of leaves (many times their size). So industrious!

I'm stunned this went on air. It's the most shameful display of American amorality I have ever witnessed. It makes me sick to be governed by these craven men. The people of Ukraine are in the hands of Merz and Macron now, because Trump and Vance have left the camp of democracy and […]

I keep saying "I've never been more ashamed...", and #POTUS keeps saying "Hold my beer". This shakedown of #Zelensky and #Ukraine is a new low. 💀

On encryption backdoors: Emergent Harms in the Security Group at the University of Cambridge have put out of a researcher paper around how over half of all cybercrime court cases in the UK are prosecuting UK police officers for abusing systems access […] [Original post on cyberplace.social]

👏 ---- AI Video of Trump Sucking Musk's Toes Blasted on Government Office TVs https://www.404media.co/ai-video-of-trump-sucking-musks-toes-blasted-on-government-office-tvs/

#JohnOliver just did a piece about #Meta's content moderation fuckery and explicitly mentions as alternatives @Mastodon, @pixelfed and @signalapp 🎉

One of the coldest things to say about another person is simply: "You cannot surprise me anymore."

A glacier is like a bad ex, a landmass can't really know just how much that person ground them down and depressed them until they are gone... and then the rebound keeps going for thousands and thousands of years. Some of the grooves never fade, some of the changes are a kind of polished […]

Measles is a solved problem; This is just so stupid. ---- "Texas measles outbreak grows to 90 cases, worst level in 30 years" https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/22/texas-measles-outbreak

😢 ---- "Victor Wembanyama has been diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder, the San Antonio Spurs said on Thursday ... Wemby will miss the rest of the 2024-2025 regular season." https://sanantonioreport.org/wemby-dvt-diagnosis-out-san-antonio-spurs-season/

You know why we Germans are so pedantic about data protection? Someone around 90 years ago went through all records available, selected people with certain criteria, with the help of IBM, and then killed them all. We don't want to be on any list. And now the US Gov and Musk is trying to get […]

I was literally joking about the Netherlands offering to make New York into New Amsterdam again last week. My wish has come true! #USpol #NLpol #EUpol #funny #YesPlease

[Gun violence, stupidity] So... a Jewish man in Miami Beach sees two men that he believes to be Palestinians, and opens fire. The men —who are actually Israeli visitors— believe that they have been targeted for being Jewish, and post “death to the Arabs” on social media afterward. You cannot […]

The Rubber Mallet Man hits on on the head three times every day. No one knows why. I think he just enjoys it. But, what can you do? It hurts so much. I hate it. But, today was the WORST day. While I was in line waiting to get my bonks I saw that the guy in front of me was hit just ONE time! […]

It'll take a while for organizations that remain active on X to fully internalize that being on the platform is no different from being in Russia Today's comments section. So we have to keep saying it. X is state media.

Ordering Thai: Me: Red Curry please. Waitress: Protein? Me: Tofu. Waitress: Spice level? Me: AF. Waitress: Ok, so Red Curry, tofu, spicy AF?

Just leaving this here... #freeluigi

Another thing on the long list missing from my bing card: a news agency barred access for failing to use the administrations preferred pronouns for a body of water. ---- Associated Press barred from Oval Office for not using ‘Gulf of America’ […]

I really love Black american culture. But, also more and more I keep wondering why is it OUR job to explain who America is to itself? The work of Black artists does this consistently with precision and clarity. A mirror, a commentary on wherever the country […] [Original post on sauropods.win]

Nailed it 🏆

Chúpalo, pendejos.

It has to be getting very difficult for the folks at the Onion to write satirical content, when the actual news is so ridiculous. ---- Trump signs order to bring back plastic straws claiming paper ones ‘explode’ https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/10/trump-plastic-straws-executive-order

Security guards have turned away #USAID staffers who arrived for work at agency HQ in DC even after a #court temporarily blocked a #Trump admin order that would have pulled all but a fraction of aid & development staffers off the job worldwide. A front desk officer on Mon told a steady stream […]

@kristiedegaris I saw this wall around an old homestead in Castroville Texas today, and thought of you.

Someone painted this rock, and left it leaning against a post outside a coffee shop in Castroville Texas. I know not why, but it's cool nonetheless.

Let me make something clear. It’s not because ants have DNA, or because they share a distance common ancestor with us, that allows me to know them as thinking beings— and to respect their volition as I would respect yours, (while rejecting, totally, such a possibility for current LLMs). No […]

@Gargron Who may I personally thank for the update to the iphone mastodon software that fixed the bug that made it eat posts? The way the publish button fills up like a progress bar is genius. I’m on the subway using the app and totally confident for the first time ever. This is marvelous!

Facebook noticed I was posting about networks so now it’s showing me ads for data privacy services. Why can’t I hear the laugh track on this show???

I don't get it...I thought Trump had already made all of his cabinet picks... https://www.msn.com/en-us/music/other/kanye-west-goes-on-another-antisemitic-rant-defends-diddy-declares-dominion-over-wife/ar-AA1yC7uh #ye #kanye #nazi #trump
