Chinowa Kuguri is a traditional Shinto ritual held on June 30th, where people walk through a ring of grass in a figure-eight to ward off disease, cleanse impurities from the first half of the year, and pray for health and good fortune in the months ahead.
Here is the ring set at Goō Shrine in Kyoto.

What’s truly embarrassing is not that Trump, pathological liar and lifelong con man, said this.

What’s embarrassing is how many people who should have known better — isolationists, business-first types, even some leftists— actually kind of believed it.

The image is a two-panel meme featuring scenes from a Western movie. In the top panel, a man with long, curly hair and a beard is shown with a noose around his neck, looking distressed. The text overlay reads, "GEN Z WATCHING AMERICA DRIVE OFF A CLIFF." In the bottom panel, another man with a noose around his neck appears more composed, with the text, "EVERYONE WHO LIVED THROUGH THE INVASION OF IRAQ - First time?" The background in both panels shows a wooden structure, likely a gallows, and a clear sky, typical of a Western setting. The sepia tone of the image adds to the historical atmosphere.

The War Prayer

by Mark Twain

warprayer.org/

It was a time of great and exalting excitement. The country was up in arms, the war was on, in every breast burned the holy fire of patriotism; the drums were beating, the bands playing, the toy pistols popping, the bunched firecrackers hissing and spluttering; on every hand and far down the receding and fading spread of roofs and balconies a fluttering wilderness of flags flashed in the sun...

@Strypey Not a fan of this description: "Posting to a traditional web forum is widely understood to be making a public statement". Web forums were understood as semi-public.

Making a post to a forum could get seen by the wider public, but as an end user you knew that statistically seldom would the wide public do so, because a forum tended to be engaged with by specialized topic, and the wider public was seldom going to make the effort to enroll to see or respond to the content in a given one.

Like you could make a "public post" to a Pokémon forum knowing that most likely it is only getting seen and engaged with by other fans, and the context of that interaction would also be narrow in scope.

I liken web forums to tables at public events: you are technically able to be seen and heard by the general public, but in practicality most of the public will never notice you at the table nor overhear what you say nor bother to walk over.

I think this is backcasting proprietary attitudes about social media posts onto an early web where those attitudes did not exist.

Everyone knew that posts on web forums and blogs were indexed by search engines and could potentially be seen by anyone on the net. That other sites could link and drive eyeballs to them. We thought of it as contributing to a global info-commons, not as making tiny slices of "IP".



Has anyone here had experiences with WriteFreely or Hubzilla?
Can you tell me your thoughts?
Thank you! ❤

Long time ago i did. The developer seemed pretty good at linking up federated sites. If you do a lot of federation apps, maybe worth looking into.
