@bob While the sheep keep partnering with the wolf.

@jasonkoebler Oh that’s fun: destroy our habitat and drink all our water to spew bullshit that humans then have to clean-up.

Capitalism, you’re doing amazing, sweetie!

@GulfCoastJake Glad to hear you’re safe. Sending hugs.

@junesim63 Cancer as a business model.

Is this the same Meta that Mastodon partnered with to create the Social Web Foundation?

How odd, I thought they were the good guys…

@knittingknots2 @russellt Sounds about par for the course.

This talk by @TodePond is such a breath of fresh air (and hugely entertaining) and so much the same philosophy as that behind me trying to make it as easy as possible to make little (slippy?) things with Kitten*.

@thisismissem @chpietsch Good to know, thanks.

@jan @chpietsch Thanks, Jan, appreciate it :)

I’m old enough to remember when Matt forked b2 to create Wordpress…

@katzenberger Or, more optimistically, because they hadn’t heard.

@clafou The concept of taxing the rich absolutely terrifies the Irish government. They even went to court to stop the EU from making them tax Apple.

@chpietsch Don’t worry, Yarn is by Facebook. And Facebook is part of the Social Web Foundation with Mastodon. So how bad can they be?

@steve I guess that means we’ll be sending hurricanes to prison.

@breadandcircuses He’s a scary guy that one. I’ve looked him in the eyes. Scary guy.

@onepict @GishgallopGirl (Being a French citizen, I’m a tiny part of that statistic.) :)

@onepict @GishgallopGirl This is true – they even doubled it. So, yeah, maybe there’s a reason the French Revolution happened in France :)

@GishgallopGirl You mean apart from the fact that she’s batshit crazy? She’s about as far-right as they come (or, at least, that’s her grift). Macron is neoliberal. While that means that he will always pick te far right over the left – as demonstrated recently in his overturning the will of people to get into bed with the far right after the left won the last election in France – he’s still a “liberal” as far as MAGA folks like Candace are concerned.

@johnlogic @gerrymcgovern thanks :)
