OK. It's going to be coming out soon because of the relentless investigations of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, so I might as well admit it before the news breaks:

I am the General Counsel of Antifa.

Hey there! I'm one of the blind folks who read alt text on here. I'd like to say thank you for adding that so that I can also enjoy images of cartoon animals. A little effort from you means a world of difference for people like me

Apparently theres a new wave of people joining mastodon, and with them a new wave of self-appointed cops "welcoming" them with long lists of mostly fictitious "rules" they need to follow.

This is a social media platform, with many of different ways to use it. It's fine. Mostly, just try to be […]

Thou shalt scream into the Void, with all thy might. Scream, SCREAM.

Yet it will avail nothing.
With the screams of countless others through all time, all to the core are drawn , to become aught but memory.

Yet selfsame Void is also the Abyss, unto which thou sha’n’t dare gaze, lest thou espy […]

Ya know, right now would be an AMAZING time for Mastodon's leadership to break bread with the Black programmers that really wanted to help make this place less racist.

Bluesky just banned a prominent Black user from basically being seen by anyone. **Because Bluesky's CEO is mad about their […]

Kristi Noem, Homeland Security Secretary and the rankest compound of villainous smell that ever offended nostril, says that ICE will be "all over" the Super Bowl.

I'm sure there will be lots of undocumented immigrants up in the cheap seats since they only cost $3000.

Maybe she just wants to […]

Perfectly normal item for an FBI director to hand out.

Wonder which 12 year old MAGA boy designed this.
A "Challenge Coin" given out by Kash Patel, Director of the FBI. It is a gold colored Punisher skull with KSH written on the forehead, spider eyes, and revolver teeth.

I wonder if they named #ios26 Liquid Glass because it is a molten hot mess?

Tip for those iPhone users attempting to use the godawful iOS 26

In Settings -> Accessibility -> Display & Text Size set

Reduce Transparency On
Increase Contrast On
Bold Text On

and then it will almost be usable again.

Unless of course you already needed to use one or more of these settings […]

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

I hope you explained how this is misinformation and that it is really an alien spacecraft coming to visit earth.

Watching very privileged men, this case Ta-Nehisi Coates and Ezra Klein, talking about civility after Kirk's murder just makes me want to slap the whole world. *Now* we're entering a space of political violence. Now. Not in the 70 when poverty and abuse got my mom hooked on heroin. Not in the […]

The day of the rapture is over and I…

Any update on the time of the rapture?

Yay!
Tomorrow's the Rapture.
Finally.

Then again, all the MAGA folks will still be here.
Ugh.
Do you think that will change their views?

I have used Linux in the past, but it's been a while. I remember that something called KDE had just been released at the time, but I never tried it. I guessing things may have changed since then.

While nowadays I mostly use a Mac, my secondary computer is a Windows 10 box for which support is ending. Microsoft keeps bugging me to upgrade the system, so I guess I must.

Any thoughts on what flavor of Linux to install?
