I've decided the time is right to pull everything across from this instance to my new self-hosted GoToSocial server. Hopefully it all goes well!

Digital divides and sparse transport options plague both Global North and South. But the South has a surprising advantage: most people are not car dependent, and informal transport already serves them.

If the President ignores the U.S. Constitution and no one enforces it on him, does that mean it is now for all practical purposes defunct and states can do as they wish?

There is more at stake with a President who defies the U.S. Constitution than one person or one law. It is the system itself.

Wired headline says Trump regime is building "master database" to spy on immigrants. That's bad enough (and totally illegal).

But the real story is that the regime and its Big Tech partners in this crime are building the database to track ALL OF US […]

He has to watch out - if the Adelaide coach doesn't use his press conference to talk about how fortunate they were to never get pinged for holding the ball in the crucial goals they scored, then people (not me*) might accuse him of hypocrisy #afl

One of the things that makes a trip to the Art Gallery of New South Wales so enjoyable, is that the building itself is a work of art. #art #australia #architecture #buildings #Gallery
The approach to the gallery, as viewed from beneath one of the shady trees in the park across the street. The grand neoclassical sandstone entry to the gallery. The banners read: "Free Entry" and "Art for All". The cathedral-like foyer features skylights and marble pillars. An arch from the foyer, with marble columns, through which we can see the multi-storey Gallery beyond.

The reason I know that Pierre Poilievre is lying about why he refuses to apply for the normal security check to receive the normal security clearance for anyone in his position, is the fact that he started his answer with the part (see below) that was literally the easiest to fact check as a lie.

Pierre Poilievre was asked in the #LeadersDebate why he still refuses to get the normal security check & clearance. Poilievre lied as usual in his answer, starting with the lie that he “already got one so there’s no problem with that.”

10 years ago.

That’s not how clearances work and he knows it.

Brent Toderian @brenttoderian.bsky.social · Mar 24
Reminder: Pierre Poilievre STILL refuses to apply for the normal, usual security clearance, the Canadian media is STILL under-reporting that, and I’m STILL choosing to assume under these dangerous and scary circumstances that it’s because he knows that he wouldn’t pass the security check.

@Bandersnatch @DemocracyMattersALot Remember Tesla lies, outrageously. They just tried to claim they sold thousands of cars in Canada they didn't. There will be lots of that in the upcoming earning report. We'll have to read analysts to find out what's actually going on.

One thing that is misleading about the abbreviated Niemöller quote is that people didn't ignore the arrest of Communists because they weren't members of the Party themselves; they ignored it because they hated Communists.

At a time when "gang members", "illegal aliens" and "terrorists" are […]

@evan I recently learned of the Dual State concept. The normative state and the prerogative state. The latter starts small and targets the most vulnerable and most easily otherwise groups.

The normative state gets shrunk and the prerogative state grows.

A stroll through the Parramatta justice precinct…

#buildings #architecture #modernism #parramatta #australua
The Garfield Barwick Commonwealth Court building. An imposing concrete structure. The glass atrium of the Commonwealth Court building's front facade. It's a curved structure made up of triangular glass windows, several floors high. Sign near the entrance that reads "Garfield Barwick Federal Law Courts Building". Sign on the side of a concrete block building that reads: "Children's Court". It stands near the site of the old family court building, which was destroyed after being bombed in 1984.
