Elon Musk's secret goon squad.
What will they possibly do with the rest of their lives?
Well if all goes well, a reasonable / sensible human will be the new president come January 2029.
Then these guys can all go to prison for treason. Maybe spend the rest of their lives in Guantanamo bay???
Know any providers who might host @grist on servers outside the US?
We're a grassroots org starting to use Grist, hoping to collaborate securely to analyze sensitive data in real-time, with more #database and #DataAnalysis functionality than @cryptpad and less surveillance than #Google sheets.
We don't have the tech capacity to self-host, so we could be looking for something like @facil, resist.ca, or nogodsnomasters.org to host for us. Ideas?

TikTokβs algorithm exhibited pro-Republican bias during 2024 presidential race, study finds
A study found TikTok's algorithm recommended more Republican-aligned content during the 2024 US election. Republican accounts saw more like-minded content, while Democratic accounts were shown more opposing views. This suggests a pro-Republican skew.Eric W. Dolan (PsyPost)

It isn't farms growing food. It's cows.
The real breakdown of US land use:
β’ Pastures for livestock dominate the map
β’ All urban areas (housing, offices, roads) fit in a tiny corner
β’ Cropland for human food? Far smaller than land used for animal feed
β’ Golf courses take up more space than you'd imagine
This changes every debate about land use.
β’ Christmas tree farms cover surprising territory
