Do I think Trump is a Nazi? No. His animal brain doesn’t permit him to claim anything so specific. But his governing instincts are clearly fascist and his electoral success has culled actual Nazis out from society’s wretched little crevices and into the open.

To put this in perspective chestnut trees used to be dominant species in the United States. Billions of trees were killed by fungal blight and now fully grown America chestnuts are functionally extinct. There is no getting them back. Ever. All for a data center. www.gadgetreview.com/one-of-ameri...

A rare 200-tree American chestnut grove in West Virginia may be cleared for data-center development, but the project denies the site is on its land.

Hiya @sagaftra.org @wgawest.bsky.social - you should demand that major entertainment studios publicly release any “do not hire” political blacklists or greylists they might be maintaining, especially with the new Ellison-Saudi-Dubai conglomeration that just gobbled up half of all media.

In the 1980s, WA State Rep Cal Anderson heard cops were hassling people in gay bars, so he went when cops were there & dared them to give him trouble. They backed down. Not as high-stakes as standing against tear gas, but still the kind of leadership we're entitled to demand from elected officials.

Whenever I would hesitantly ask anything along the lines of "How do you make an animated GIF?", it seemed I'd always receive nasty "If you don't already know, then you don't deserve to know" sort of responses 😞 (Yes, I still don't know how to make animated gifs)

10/ Publications are businesses. They have no right to your money. And you have no right to their reporting. It’s all a matter of business models that create a mutual interest in working together. It’s understandable ( based on the history above ) but still silly to think that it’s an offense …

If you're wondering why they don't go to court with their high paid lawyers for an easy win, it's because this allows Google to bribe Trump. All the big players are way over their skis on AI investment and are sure they will need a bailout at some point. It's 2009 but for tech instead of housing
