The neoliberalism to fascism pipeline is real and coming soon to a country near you.

“The National Archives museum, under Biden-appointed U.S. Archivist Colleen Shogan, has been working to reshape its narrative of American history in order to make white conservatives more comfortable … The museum has removed references to Martin Luther King Jr., Japanese internment, Native Americans, union organizers, and birth control … A photo of King was replaced with one of Richard Nixon meeting Elvis Presley.”

@benroyce @Alice Laughed out loud (at a restaurant, no less) :)

@redfern @troublewithwords Yay! 🏳️⚧️ 💕

@Monstersx It’s not really a supported use case (the idea is that Kitten runs in a tiny VPS or on a little SBC plugged into your router) but there is this, in case it helps: https://codeberg.org/kitten/app/pulls/187

Happy Friday, everyone.

“mastodon.social has over 2 million users … I think it's safe to say the the mastodon codebase is tuned for mastodon.social”

I keep getting asked why I’m working on the Small Web – which is tuned for instances of one (not two or two million).

This is why.

(It’s also why I was advising a certain someone to limit the size of his instance… until my advice was no longer compatible with their plans/welcome.)

@glynmoody Ah, our allies, Saudi Arabia. Well, I guess they’re at least not not carrying out genocide so not too shabby as far as our allies go.

@ProPublica Didn’t die. Was murdered.

@adamsandy Happy to hear it. And no, they’re dead to me after what they did.

@Broadfork Thank you; will check it out :)

@adamsandy It’s made by these people. I’ve nothing more to add.

@ApaulD @oerum Alt text: THIS BLOWS MY MIND
EVERY SINGLE DAY:
THAT A HANDFUL OF OLD
WHITE MEN HOLD THE FATE
OF HUMANKIND IN THEIR
HANDS. AND THEY REFUSE
TO ACT BECAUSE THEY ARE
AFRAID OF LOSING
THEIR MONEY.
IT'S A LOUSY REASON
FOR A PLANET TO DIE.

@dannotdaniel So folks who arm genocides morally deserve to win? Vote Kamala, please, because the alternative is worse but please don’t whitewash complicity in an ongoing genocide.

@Tiempo Doubt it, our dog doesn’t bark even when terrified (he’s a half husky/malamute). But yeah, most dogs do. Not to mention folks with PTSD. We have so many Ukrainian refugees in town it’s unbelievably callous.
