Hey, for anyone looking for an alternative to #meetup, just a heads up that there's a Fediverse alternative. It's called Mobilizon. https://mobilizon.org I'm starting to use the US instance (mobilizon.us) for tech and dance events here in the DC area. And hey, #elixir people? It's written in […]

Israel is paying influencers $7,000 per post / "A firm working for the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a series of invoices for its “Influencer Campaign” to an international media group working for Israel. The invoices detailed a sum of $900,000 for 14-18 influencers to create content." […]

News for my Burns Notice newsletter: I wrote about why it's such a problem that Saudi Arabia keeps throwing their money at international entertainment and sports events like the Riyadh Comedy Festival. burns-notice.ghost.io/we-do-not-ha...

@mmm I think that was the real reason. They are fully capable of being that pointless and dumb. The “warrior ethos” thing is important serious business to them, however laughable it may look to us. They think they did a Big Thing™.

If you know anyone in the U.S. military at any level, please make sure they see The Orders Project, "a non-partisan program created by the National Institute for Military Justice to assist military personnel in understanding their options when faced with orders they believe may not be legal." […]

History question.... Has there ever been a situation where a government said they were going to be tough on X, or declared war on Y, and the problem was solved or alleviated, even a little? Honest question.

“Goebbels Ends Careers of Five ‘Aryan’ Actors Who Made Witticisms About the Nazi Regime”

I think that it is in fact possible that Disney will reverse themselves. that obviously won't solve our fascism problem. but it would be an important defeat for the regime. and defeats for the regime can stiffen spines and lead to more defeats for the regime.

As many as 3% of the global population are chronically infected with it. It’s one of the leading causes of liver failure and cancer in the world. It would be joined in that status by HBV, except the HBV vaccine has dramatically reduced cases of chronic HBV and liver cancer

The question "Should Democrats Shut the Government?" is very badly framed. It would be far better to ask "Why should Democrats assist the Republicans in their effort to shut the government?"

I am surprised that so few people don't know that in English, "I get it" means "I understand what you are saying but you're wrong." Nobody has ever said, "I get it" without then saying "but...".

Dear people of #korea, I am so so sorry. So embarrassing and pointless. We are working hard to slow this descent into tyranny, impeach and prosecute #trump. Until then his #gestapo #ice will keep following his illegal commands. We don't deserve it, but please be patient. And again, we are very […]

Hey Mastodon, Any developers out there who 1) cares about US democracy and 2) knows #svelt? Couple of questions...thanks.

Hey Mastodon, nutty question. Anybody know a native English speaker who would do something whacky and fun on the internet for thirty min each weekday for US$100 per month? It would be to make a personal four min audio newscast for a seven year old kid. Modes tech skills a plus. If so, DM me, thanks!

Today is the 110th birthday of my first crush, Ingrid Bergman. And may I give thanks that at the age of first crushes, for me it was her and not Loni Anderson, the designated crush of my peers.

We need a "Children's Video Game Network" with sesame street philosophy but for games. Not creaky educational games. In fact, I don't care if they are educational as much as I care if they are of a high artistic caliber, thoughtful, fun and both free and free of advertisements. I'm not saying […]
