The Syrian Center for Human Rights reports a convoy of US military reinforcements arriving in the area of ​​the Kurdish city of Kobani in northern Syria, near the border with Turkey.

In addition, reinforcements were reported to have arrived via US cargo planes to the Harb al-Jir base in eastern Syria - amid the escalation of fighting between pro-Turkish forces and the Kurdish SDF forces.

I am hoping against hope that the US will do good by the Kurds, this time.

I just hope that, when orange turd besmirches the White House, once again, those won't be removed so erdogan (no cap letters, thankyew) can make a deal for the benefit of trump (ditto) inc.

Space Virgins: The Expanse - Series 3, Episode 6 "Immolation"


Chris watches Sci-Fi show "The Expanse" for the first time and after each episode he joins Drew and Hamish to discuss the show. Drew and Hamish are vicariously re-living the joy of watching for the first time.

The Expanse was a TV adaptation of the books by James S.A. Corey, that ran from 2015 until 2022.

For clarity - the books don't go on after the show as such - they have more story threads and an epilogue set 1000 years in the future

Australia’s Prime Minister claims that banning kids from social media is necessary to protect young people from online harms. Here’s why he’s wrong. eff.org/deeplinks/2024/12/aust…


Bon, on se moque des trumpo-platistes qui pullulent sur Twitter et racontent n'importe quoi sur les faits scientifiques les mieux établis genre réchauffement planétaire et vaccins, mais apparemment, on a des zozos aussi sur le fédivers.
Il y a des instances fédivers qui sont en harmonie avec la Nature via leur connexion avec la Terre Mère ?

Hello, avant de critiquer les autres, reconnais que tu ne sais pas tout ! À moins que ce soit toi qui aies prouvé le rayonnement des trous noirs ?

one thing I sort of miss about being a church musician in a (progressive) episcopal church is all the music this time of year. I especially miss the boar’s head and yule log festival we did on epiphany (the end of the 12 days of christmas)

(the church I worked at isn’t the one in the article it’s just a good description of it)

@davidtoddmccarty Some churches still have good music, and some still use actual candles.

I was having coffee with my best friends this a.m. and we used to all go to the same UU church (they still do) and apparently at the candlelight service sometime in the last decade there *was* an actual fire, from someone tripping.

But also unknown to me, there has ALWAYS been a fire-extinguisher brigade of sorts, about 8 people distributed in the congregation, ready to leap into action.

@davidtoddmccarty but I also hear ya, I've been to plenty of sh*tty Christmas Eve services too, with flashlights and lousy music. We were pretty spoiled at my old church with utterly amazing music.


We got a new Hubzilla version early for Christmas!


Hubzilla 10 is out; CW: Fediverse meta, non-Mastodon Fediverse meta

Well, that's a nice early Christmas present: Hubzilla 10 was recently rolled out, and Netzgemeinde was updated today. There has even already been a quick bug fix release, 10.0.1.

One killer feature is the introduction of conversation containers as per FEP-171b. (streams) has had them for quite a while already, Forte was born with them, now Hubzilla has them, too. I pity all those with no sensible conversation support.

would you still love me if i was an grumpy goat mom instead of a yote
in reply to Jen, Yoted with the Sauce

If your Jen:

- Insists on making you food
- Is thiccer than oatmeal
- Stares at you judgingly
- Repeatedly calls you "My Child"

That is not Jen, That is Toriel Dreemurr from the hit video game Undertale.





Recently I was invited to present on long term software development. I asked around for people's experiences here on Mastodon, and you delivered in spades! Please find here the collected wisdom in blog post form. Likely relevant for everyone shipping software that has to stay viable for a decade or more: berthub.eu/articles/posts/on-l…

...upon which, after her discovery, the Democratic Party invited her to switch parties and be their National Chair...

(sorry. couldn't resist.)



Apparently, the new president elect is upset that his corporate sponsor is being called the president elect.

By all means, if you’re doing it, stop.



I went to Russia in 1996 and saw so many statue bases with the statue gone. This is cool. mastodon.social/@VitalisViVa/1…
