War ravaged Portland

A lot of consumers are feeling pretty powerful after forcing Disney and ABC to reinstate Jimmy Kimmel this week. But broadcasters are already working to take away our power by replacing millions of viewers with AI. Will we have the same leverage in the next crisis, or will we all just get laid off?

Le masse critique à Montréal est demain ! Départ à 17h30 au monument Georges-Étienne-Cartier. À demain 🙂 https://evenement.facil.services/events/e7b64d11-39c3-4af5-949e-7dc408128133

Since React launched, I have been labouring under the misapprehension that JSX was a little-used ECMAScript feature that had been dropped from the standard. But I was wrong! I was thinking of E4X, which worked a lot like JSX, and was supported by Firefox from the mid-2000s to the early 2010s […]

Numerologists take note: tomorrow, 27th September 2025, is a square date in both US and Everywhere Else notation. 5205² = 27092025 and 3045² = 9272025 This is the last time this will happen for a thousand years! (from @EdPeggJr on math-fun)

I can't believe the Democratic Party of the US is heading into another catastrophic election season without working out a better plan for Gaza. It's going to split the party, again, and maybe cost them the election, again.

I think there's a viable business plan to do a book of world records for the categories that Guinness is too cautious or prudish to allow competition in, like Most Continuous Hours Operating a Chainsaw or World's Biggest Butt

Every day, you can do something to resist the genocide in Gaza. - Donate to charities working in Gaza - Write or call your elected representatives at every level of government - Cut financial ties with a company under BDS boycott - Go to a protest - Say something online or in person Don't […]

How did you get on the Fediverse? The @socialwebfdn is working on a Fediverse starter page, and our team is conducting user interviews to understand people's onboarding journey. If you'd be willing to be interviewed, please reply here or email us at [email protected] !

Nobody can force the sale of the Fediverse.

So what about an app where you have an open (crypto obviously) bidding marketplace to purchase various government officials and politicians? It can be confusing to navigate the current landscape! One guy wants his stuff in cash in a sack behind the bleachers, the next one wants a red envelope in […]

tfw you lie too far flat on the couch and you have to use all your abdominal strength just to lift yourself back up

I'm sure other people have noted this but at some point we went from talking about "social network sites" to talking about "social media sites". At first, the network was the thing that mattered. Then, the media was the thing that mattered. A quick Google Trends query shows the shift might […]

OK, I'm keeping a permanent top-five list of best Fediverse-themed songs. I'll update as more songs are made! 1. Fedilike

The Charter is not just a law, it is an expression of Canada’s most basic and deepest values. “Notwithstanding” the Charter means “I don’t share these values”. Any and every politician or government that proposes its use should face such an extreme backlash that no one would dare consider it […]

Charlie Kirk Day is my birthday.

We brought the Citroën home for a few days.

@cbcnews how did you report an entire story about Canada recognising the state of Palestine without speaking once to a representative of the state of Palestine, or even to a reporter in Ramallah? You did manage to have an extensive discussion with a reporter in (Western) Jerusalem about how the […]

One of the most surprising reasons that people have told me that they dropped off the Fediverse is that they simply forget which server they signed up for.

Oh. My. Goodness. I'm giving a talk in November at #sfscon about building Tŵt Cymru, and I was just adding the session to my calendar when I realised... It's on #defaidodonday #dydddefaidodon !!! I am now going to have to figure out how to incorporate the hashtag into the presentation, and I […]

If there is no place for political violence in a democracy, then it follows that Americans must reinforce our democratic institutions. Democracy is a complex system with many interoperating parts that was designed specifically to prevent political violence.

The investigative newsroom I work for, @ProPublica, is raising money right now. This is the last few days of our pledge drive. We report on abuses of power in the public interest. We reported on who works for DOGE and revealed Clarence Thomas’s conflicts of interest. It was the first outlet to […]

Over the last week I’ve become aware that lots of infrastructure depends on local government, school board, etc, meetings being posted on YouTube. That’s quite a scary dependency & a potential vector for harm. We need to get to a world where these meetings are stored & shared in a more aligned way.

The American ceasefire talks are collapsed. Other actors on the world stage must take over the process.

Canada Revenue Agency is consulting Canadians about automatic tax filing. Available from September 9 to October 9, 2025 Fill in the online questionnaire and be heard! https://lnkd.in/e7HeZYBg #canada #taxes

My friend @kfury points out that 9/16/25 is closely related to a 3-4-5 triangle and says it's Pythagoras Day. I buy it!

It's weird when people say "you can't predict the future" when that is literally the only thing you can predict.
