Somali Daycare Centers “Learing Made Simple”
Who knew importing entrepreneurial spirit from Somalia would supercharge Minnesota’s economy?
Federal probes suggest up to $9 billion in taxpayer cash vanished into “daycare centers” with zero kids, fake meals, and phantom autism therapy—nearly matching Somalia’s entire GDP (~$12B). That’s some serious side hustle!
The Democrats in blue cities apparently looked the other way to avoid those pesky “racism” cries. Meanwhile, Ilhan Omar’s household mysteriously ballooned to potentially $30M (thanks, hubby’s winery and VC magic—socialism pays off when you’re the one cashing in!).
Time for arrests—or why should we bother paying taxes at all?

17 GENNAIO, ASSEMBLEA PUBBLICA METROPOLITANA
Dall’enorme corteo del 6 settembre in seguito allo sgombero del Leoncavallo, passando per il crescendo impetuoso degli scioperi generali del 22 settembre e del 3 ottobre contro il genocidio a Gaza e in Palestina, le strade della città sono state occupate e riempite da centinaia di migliaia di persone, con un crescente protagonismo di quelle più giovani e momenti di conflitto sociale radicale di grande potenza, definendo un’imprevedibile ma significativa convergenza disponibile a praticare le parole presenti sui social o sugli striscioni: bloccare tutto. E farlo davvero.
Pensiamo che quello che è successo lo scorso autunno non sia una casualità estemporanea, ma una possibilità di cambiamento chiara che si produce in una città in profonda crisi.

Exactly one year ago, on 30th December 2024, I laid the foundation of FediMeteo.
I took a VM, installed FreeBSD, and set up the first jail to support Italy. The goal was to create a tool for my own use, support a few countries, and announce it.
Unexpectedly, the enthusiasm was incredible. That pushed me to keep going, support more countries and cities, and turn it into what it is today.
FediMeteo now supports 38 countries and 2,937 cities, with more than 7,700 followers in the Fediverse alone, not counting the many people who follow via RSS feeds or visit the web pages.
If you are curious to read the story and some technical details, you can find it here:
it-notes.dragas.net/2025/02/26…
Today is also Tuesday, a #ThankYouTuesday, so I want to say thanks to:
* OpenMeteo - @openmeteo - for providing accurate, high quality data, without which FediMeteo would be far less useful
* @grunfink - creator of snac, who made all of this possible using very few resources, on a 4 euro per month VM
* FreeBSD, which thanks to the efficiency of the OS and its jail implementation made it possible to run this service in a stable and efficient way with minimal effort
* FediFollows - @FediFollows - that periodically spreads the word about cities, countries, and the enthusiasm around the project
*All of you*, who suggested, encouraged, corrected, and celebrated this project
And forward toward supporting more countries and other interesting features already in the works.
Happy birthday, FediMeteo! 🎉

Yes, my Umamusume OC is trans.
No, I don't know how that would actually work in-universe.
However, given the always female nature of Umas, I like to think that world would be more accepting and supportive. Like, "Well, this baby was born with a male body, but they have ears and a tail. They're clearly an Umamusume, so you should raise them as such."
If I'm making trans characters, I want them to have as easy a life as possible. Otherwise what's the point of the fantasy?
There's plenty enough hardship and work to be done in an Umamusume's life as it is.
"Beurette à chica" "A la kouizine" "Nous avons le droit d'être raciste"
Pour la première fois en 6 ans, nous avons dû limiter l'accès aux commentaires sur Facebook sous l’interview de Kaoutar Harchi publiée hier soir tellement il y avait de commentaires racistes. Une violence inouïe, avec en prime des commentaires sexistes et misogynes. Voilà le vrai visage de l'extrême-droite en France.
Nous rappelons que le racisme est un délit, puni par la loi, et que nous n'allons pas laisser passer.
