Day after day after day after day Russia bombs Ukraine. Russia is using the same techniques on its own country, leveling towns that Ukraine has seized in its counterattack into Russia.

Russia targets playgrounds and apartment buildings and schools and markets. These are precision bombs - they go where they are targeted. In this case, a playground in Ukraine.

This is a war crime.

Everyday we continue imposing usage restrictions extends the war.

Mastodon is a social network, not a business.

It does not need to grow at any cost, it does not need to catch "opportunities", it does not need to beat any competence.

It just needs to be a nice platform for people to share and interact. As it already is.

I hope the developers understand that, and keep it that way.

Have fun in bluesky. And when corporative greed transform it in a swamp of ads, trolls, newsbots and shit, as is certainly will, remember you have an account here :-)

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works, huh?

Let’s call Nazis “Nazis”.

Let’s call disinformation, lying, and propaganda what they are too.

This isn’t about speech rights of the “far right” on some ideological spectrum of rational policy disagreement. It’s about hate speech and strategic lying to promote violence and white supremacy.

Countries have been plunged into genocide with such tactics. Speech has consequences. Social media has inadequate countermeasures. https://mastodon.online/@parismarx/113056833635789357

The Israeli army stormed the city of Hebron on Saturday, shutting down the Ibrahimi Mosque and preventing worshippers from entering.

Eyewitnesses told Anadolu that Israeli forces raided the Wadi al-Hariya neighborhood, searching several homes. The incursion also targeted the Jabal Abu Rumman neighborhood, where soldiers and snipers were seen taking positions on rooftops of residential buildings, they added.

This doesn't look good:

Eight locations experienced temperatures of 50C + this year, most of them in the Tropic of cancer.

Hotest spot was Death Valley, USA, 7/7/24 - 53.9

the rest in deciding order, all 50C + peak:

Jahra, Kuwait
Sindh, Pakistan
Sanbao, China
Tepache, Mexico
Abadan, Iran
Churu, India
Agadir, Morocco
Hassi Messaaod, Algeria
Arafat, Saudi Arabia.

Moreover, the impact of these peaks has been intensified by high humidity.

climate change is here!

My 6th grader has class this year called "Digital Literacy" where students learn about how to search for reliable information online, interpret data, and avoid misinformation & disinformation. They will also discuss #AI.

I cannot think of a more important subject in 2024. #education cc @Noupside
