The rate limiting incident in Twitter isn't really what pushed me over to use Mastodon more and more. Currently there is a hashtag on Twitter related to the French riots that's calling on the expulsion of all Muslim, African, and Arab immigrants from the entirety of Europe. The entirety and trending hashtag (at #2) is filled with images encouraging mass killings and lynchings of Arabs. There is no come back from this.

According to Washington DNR, all six major Cascade wildfires started over the weekend were started by idiots using fireworks.

As of today, all 122 NWS stations that the University of Iowa created rss feeds for are now published on Mastodon. The best way to find them is to search for "iembot_" and the three letter assigned to the NWS forecast office. In addition, the NHC Atlantic Officeis published at @iembot_nhc_atlantic . These are not official bots from the NWS or University of Iowa. There were put together by a group of "weather intensive" people in order to inform like minded Mastodon users of weather forecasts and other reports that the National Weather Service in the US sends out.

I'm thinking about it and the left could have been significantly less vindicated in their assessment of Elon Musk and it would have been fine. This is too much vindication. Just total vindication overkill.

The most insidious myth that I was taught in American schools was that inequality and injustice are somehow artifacts of the past, and that America marches inexorably towards greater freedom and equality with every generation.

Not only is this take entirely unsupported by actual history, but this comforting myth absolves us of having to take action to fight inequality and injustice. Just sit back and relax and everything will just get better.
