"To many people, school is about preparing learners for '21st century jobs.' Yet, there is no way that we can know what those jobs are. 10 years ago, I could not have described my job. It didn't exist. It is the heights of hubris and arrogance to think that we know what the jobs of 15 years from now will be." #makered #makerspace

If enough Americans come out to vote for it, the SCOTUS will be reformed. We've had crap like this happen before in our long history.

Fallacious gun nut argument: British cops never stopped a mass shooting with their billy clubs.
Response: British cops never had to stop a mass shooting, because the only mass shooting in modern British history ended with a suicide, and was followed by strict gun control that has had the result of 27 years without a single mass shooting.
@GreenFire there is a fifth Column of traitors who work for Putin from inside the Republican Party, it’s obvious by well they carry out his orders to destroy America from within, to break our grasp on the constitution and to make us doubt in Democracy. https://medium.com/illumination/putins-weapons-of-mass-deception-killing-democracy-in-plain-sight-94efb6134afc
A Trump administration judge made possible by McConnell's shenanigans gave the go ahead to Wagner to continue attacking the USA today btw.
Kremlin-connected entrepreneur Yevgeny Prigozhin that he had interfered in U.S. elections and would continue to do so —
"Gentlemen, we have interfered, are interfering and will interfere. Carefully, precisely, surgically and in our own way, as we know how to do," Prigozhin boasted in remarks posted on social media. https://www.npr.org/2022/11/07/1134878028/yevgeny-prigozhin-russia-election-interference-putin

If you are running your own #Mastodon server, perhaps as a trial, and you decide to kill it, can you do one quick tidy up command before you pull the plug?
On the command line: tootctl self-destruct
This will notify the #fediverse that your server is on the way out. Otherwise, servers may try for days to communicate with you.
Thanks

@mcp I'm going to add my voice to the chorus advocating *against* federation with Meta. They're not interested in building community. They're not interested in our safety. Their presence is motivated by exactly one thing, and that's greed. Any instance of Mastodon that is trying to establish a safe place for marginalized communities federates with Meta at its own peril and that of its users.

Sounds like The Liam Nissan. He's been coming up with new insults for Moms for Liberty all day: Assholes with Casseroles, Bitches for Bigotry, The Minivan Taliban.
EDIT: since this is taking off I'll add the link to Liam's twitter:

I see the old “too many people are going to university to do Mickey Mouse degrees” trope is doing the rounds again. My son did a degree in Comedy Writing and Performance. Did he get a job in the creative industries? No. Is he earning a good salary? Also no. But he was greatly enriched by studying something he was passionate about for three years. What is wrong with just learning for learning’s sake? Education is not supposed to be merely a mechanism for churning out workers
