This Wednesday, Elon Musk called for the death sentence for transgender youth care providers. It was in reply to a post calling for full criminalization of all gender-affirming surgery. Musk is becoming even more radicalized in targeting trans people. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Musk’s posts are not just inflammatory rhetoric. They have real-life consequences.

hosted tonight's @reseaulibre net, it feels like our #meshcore #mesh is saturating with people having trouble talking to each other, but it also feels like our efforts to fix this are effective, see the log and announcements at lora.reseaulibre.ca/references/log/…

asking the america.gov ai (_that can be used without an account by anyone_) who won the 2020 election and whether that information is contested sends it into a death spiral

Quick, Bluesky is down, tell your friends about your favorite fediverse server! Don't confuse them with techy jargon, unless they care about that stuff. Just tell them why you picked the server you're on, and that they can sign up and follow and talk to people on other servers […]

Great new feature in the latest Signal app. If you enable disappearing messages the meta data of calls and missed calls gets deleted as well. I know this was a long standing goal for them, but the engineering behind it took time. #Privacy @signalapp

Everything else aside, if the CEO of a major company (but still a tiny fraction of the size of the US government) was visibly spending half his time fretting about refurbishing the fountain in front of corporate headquarters, the stock would tank and the board would fire them.

Seen near Holborn Station, on the route of the Unite the Kingdom rally. The poster says it better than most speeches: When the scapegoats are gone, the borders are fortified, and the hatred has done its damage, the cost of living will still rise, the NHS […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

A red text-based public artwork by Frank Riot displayed in a JCDecaux advertising panel outside Holborn Station in London, UK. The poster reads: “When you’ve got rid of all the mosques but the costs of life still rise and you’ve built your fortressed borders but the NHS still dies and the Muslims are all gone and your town’s a wall of white but corporate vultures are still pillaging every facet of our lives who will you blame then? What will you have gained? A badge for barbarism against a backdrop of decay.” Pedestrians walk past the bus shelter on a busy city street.

Audre Lorde's "The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house." is not just a statement about a tool being tainted by its origin. It's about what kind of tool a "master" would create: Whips. Chains. Violence. That's the meaning: You cannot just take tools whose purpose and politics […]

Just saw the take that waymo shouldn't be expected to have tested for an edge case like unpowered stop lights. That edge case that human drivers are required to know from page 34 of the california drivers handbook.

A screenshot from the handbook pdf, page 34. The highlighted text has the header "Traffic Light Not Working".

When a traffic light is not working, stop as if the intersection is controlled by STOP signs in all directions. Then proceed cautiously when it is safe to do so.
