History is replete with white women making false accusations resulting in the torture and lynching of Black men. It's for this very reason I look askance at the "believe all women" demands of #MeToo. As a Black woman, I say let's not rush to judgment before learning the facts of the matter.

The South, where crossing state lines to get illegal fireworks is not story worthy unless it involves a trip to the hospital later.

When a Republican is president he can incite a violent insurrection on social media with lies about a stolen election and when a democrat is president he is ordered by some hillbilly judge in Louisiana to stop contacting social media companies all together.

Something seems off 🤔

"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

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

"The gays stole the rainbow from God" implies we're powerful and/or cunning enough to steal from a supposedly omnipotent entity and then keep them from taking the stolen goods back and honestly I can live with being perceived as this cool.

@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.

Happy Fourth of July 2023
