There was another way we could have gone with all this crap. Instead of a constant battle of monopolists we could have demanded (and enforced via regulation) open standards for all this shit. "RFC BlahBlah: A Standard for Processing Financial Transactions via NFC".

People forget that there was a tiny, and I mean fucking infinitesimal, window where Apple Pay worked with pretty much every NFC-enabled POS terminal, supported or not. Then everybody got all siloed up.

I'm getting dizzy.

Should have a sign at the door saying, "Don't look down."

In the runup to #FediForum, I'm curious to hear if anyone has any hot takes about the future of the #fediverse. There's an incredibly strong case to be made for orgs to move away from Twitter, but the majority of people (aka managers in organizations that currently run a Twitter account) I've come across who share this view see Mastodon as a non-starter because "its confusing" or "its missed its window" (not my opinions BTW). They'd rather invest org resources into building a presence on Threads or BSky.

My thought is that by investing in #Fedi you can get a wildly outsized voice in a really grassroots network, but a lot of times that lands on deaf ears.

Yes, Musk’s gotten more than a billion views in pushing his MAGA propaganda. But it’s inept and ineffective.

It's not an occupation, it's not an apartheid system, it's the only democracy in the region fighting to defend western values. It's their right to defend themselves.


Shut up and don't be an anti-Semite.

Amazing, no? How the Never Again hijackers twist and contort trying to justify their own brand of genocide.

A flashback to San Francisco's old Doggie Diner hotdog chain. The chain's mascot, a giant fiberglass dachshund head, is mounted on a tall pole outside the San Francisco Zoo, across the street from where one of the last of the fast food diners once stood.

Photographed in 2010, the head still survives... bringing nightmares to children, as was once intended.

Good dog.

We will not lie


The Alberta government tried to claim the electric utilities had asked for their idiotic and harmful moratorium on renewable energy, but the reverse was true.

The CEO Mark Law who pushed back has now been forced out.

Before this moratorium which was followed by severe restrictions on solar and wind, Alberta was leading the country in renewable energy.
