We appreciate that certain politicians have recently admitted their naivete in entrusting the voices of their governments to corporate / for-profit social media.

To these politicians, we say: https://joinmastodon.org/hosting

"What is fascism?"

Throughout history, each iteration of fascism came with its own particularities. Political theorist R. Griffin posits that the one thing they have in common is palingenetic ultranationalism. (Picture : Mussolini giving a speech) Palingenetic ("born again in ancient greek) ultranationalism is a far right narrative that frames the nation as decadent, as having lost its way, as being betrayed by dark elites. To save it, it needs to be destroyed, then reborn. (Picture: Trump giving a speech in front of a MAGA flag) with that goal in mind, an authoritarian power with divisive rhetoric channelsbthe population's anger towards a scapegoat demonized outgroup: migrants, religion, sexual and gender minorities... (picture : three masked ICE agents are handling someone.) Fascism is like a chameleon : it constantly adapts to eras and cultures. It is vital to learn to identify it and call it out. (Picture: a chameleon)

Wait, has Sony stopped selling their Cycle Energy AA batteries?

Closing the issue outright because "we don't know what's happening and thus it's not our issue, it's yours" is not how you should treat an issue report.

1. A day after the Michigan church shooting, Republicans are silent after learning the shooter was a MAGA extremist.

No investigations of Trump supporters as terrorists. No national conversations about the rights of cisgender men.

The silence is deafening.

Dear Tech Folk:
My 91 year old Mom:

* Has no easily detectable fingerprint, so the fingerprint locks don't work.
* Likes her "old" phone, tends to sit in the dark or hold the phone "wrong" making FaceID impossible.

We are 70.000 people in front of the Brandenburg gate right now protesting for the freedom of Palestine, the end of Israeli occupation, ending the genocide and especially German complicity in it! Something like this would've been unthinkable, only a short time ago.

The democratic socialist party of Germany (_Die Linke_) is the only party present in the German Bundestag that helped organize and mobilize towards the anti-genocide protest in Germany. Amnesty International and very famous German musicians were here too! @vanaken & @inesschwerdtner 🚩

I wonder what will happen if someone who's not a man uses this. Will it explode? 😅

(I've seen many products that said "for men" but never seen "men only" and found it funny.)

Good night everybody

Happy Bi Visibility Day!

I see you and I’m proud of you!

A two panel meme of Hannibal Burrell from The Eric Andre Show.

In the first panel, he is looking at Pride Flags for Bisexual, Onmisexual, Pansexual, and Polysexual.

In the second panel, he has a subtitle which says “These broadly overlap but the distinction matters to some people and that's okay”
