🚘 Miles de millones destinados a coches que no se venden. Grandes empresas beneficiándose de ayudas públicas mientras precarizan el trabajo. Alfombra roja a infraestructuras fósiles mientras se le corta el grifo a los descuentos al transporte público. El acceso a servicios básicos de la mayoría, atrapado entre la dependencia del automóvil y la guerra comercial con los capitales asiáticos. La sensación general es de estafa, rechazo y un descontento reaccionario.

To see how the culture of performance and accountability at the #USPS has degraded under #LouisDeJoy, look at the fact that The #BostonCityCouncil held a hearing about delivery issues, and the Postal Service response was to deny there's a problem and refuse to show up.
I don't ding the #Biden admin for not dealing with this; there were barriers, and he had bigger things to worry about. But I sure hope #Harris won't let this drag on another 4 years.

P.S. While I'm certain part of this is due to mismanagement at #USPS, part of it is also due to the fact that there is a nationwide worker shortage in this country caused by the pandemic, which the government can't acknowledge because that would require acknowledging the huge damage #COVID did to our population, the severity and prevalence of #LongCOVID, and the fact that the pandemic isn't over.


Le média Blast porte plainte pour diffamation contre Fourest, Ducros, Woessner... qui accusent Michèle Sibony de l'Union juive française d'antisémitisme dans l'une de ses émissions. C'est toujours la même petite bande, Printemps républicain and co, qui pourrit le débat public... alors que les véritables actes d'antisémitisme sont, eux, bien en hausse.

Le printemps républicain a touché le fond mais il continue à creuser 😑

L'antisémitisme n'est pas une opinion, clairement une plainte en diffamation pour chaque procès médiatique intempestif en antisémitisme, la blague aurait probablement duré moins longtemps. Évidemment ça nécessite des moyens.


#GulfofMexico is almost as warm as a bath
#HurricaneMilton and #HurricaneHelene fed off unusually warm waters.
“The warmer the water is, effectively, the more fuel that is available for the storm engine to work with,” says Scott Braun, a research meteorologist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center who specializes in #hurricanes. Sea surface temperatures reached roughly 88F (31 Celsius). That’s well above temperature needed for a #hurricane to develop, at least 79F (26C).

While telling a crowd of supporters at a recent rally in western Wisconsin about violent crimes committed by immigrants in the U.S.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump interrupted himself to tell attendees that he would get back to talking about "making America great again," -- just not now.

"We’re going to do that ... don’t worry ... We haven’t gotten to that part yet,"
Trump said during his Sept. 28 speech in Prairie Du Chien.

"No, I’m just saying this is dark. This is a dark speech."

It was one of many in recent weeks.

Homicide & terrorism comprise <1% of US deaths, but >50% of deaths the media cover. Most journalism is storytelling, so it focuses on threats from villains, inflating them in people's minds. To increase your survival odds, worry less about evil and more about your blood pressure.

Social media propaganda: the chart shows us how the media manipulates our understanding of what the largest threats are to our well-being. Homicide and terrorism pose almost no threat to us, but represents the largest percentage of coverage manipulating our feelings on politics.

In less than a week I discovered two other federated social networks. 🤯

#ClubsAll that is a Reddit-like forum.
And now, #Misskey 😳💪🏻

Misskey Hub – Official website of the Misskey Project misskey-hub.net/fr/

#Fediverse

in reply to Trist

Now that's interesting...

I've heard of Misskey, but the weird schoolgirl anime mascot always threw me off the whole project.

ClubsAll seems kind of interesting - it seems to be a different beast to Lemmy, so it will be interesting to learn about it...
