The only options to follow what's going on at my own (Utrecht) university are through big US, Trump abiding commercial tech companies: Meta (Facebook, instagram), Alphabet (Youtube) and Microsoft (LinkedIn). OK, we ditched X, but that is not enough. Do you know examples of universities that do much better in this regard? What are the best practices? Can we have a thread here of institutions that (fully) moved to Mastodon, Peertube, ...? Also interested in their explicit motivations to do so.
God hates injustice, but why does it take so long to resolve? From the UK Post Office scandal to global issues, the wait for righting a wrong is agonizing. Habakkuk took his 'Why?' directly to the One in charge. Learn how to respond to the wait. ⏳ Read more: downiefamily.wixsite.com/where…
We often find ourselves in situations where we need to wait on God. It's often not easy. This series offers encouragement for us when waiting on God is painful.
If you don't want to continue testing web-based #RSS readers, although I like testing them, and if you have an #accessible one for me to test, I'd be glad to do it! There are email services that will feed you. I started using one that's been around for years recently, and it works wonders!! I would recommend setting it up on a somewhat secondary email, and checking that once a week or so. Here's the one I started using. blogtrottr.com
Dec 3, 2025 @ 13:27 Good afternoon family & friends❣️ 22 days until Christmas - woohoo! We still have our snow, I think it is supposed to get up to the upper 20s today. I have lots to do so it will be a busy one, good thing I got 12+ hours of sleep last night I guess, eh? And good thing I have leftovers and won't have to cook for myself. But I do have to make a pot of dog food, so there's that. Today's batch will have ground beef, ground pork, beef kidney, sweet potatoes, rice, eggs, plus the usual other additions (bone meal, flax, etc.) And I have to be gone for a few hours. So I'm going to going and get busy and I will see you later, have a wonderful Wednesday❣️ 🙌 🎶 🌟 👑 🌟 🛐 ❄️ 🎄
"God has made it clear that those who are in Christ must differentiate from the world. Not to make it seem as though we are better, but ultimately to open the eyes to the truth and the goodness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ so that all will come to Him." blog.whoisgrace.com/how-to-let… (goes with the graphic below)
Two Egyptian infuencers, "Aquilance" and "Sultangi" apparently published reports on food safety in Egypt and were arrested and detained as a result. Article in Arabic:
Why is it that when the cost of every single thing in the world goes up, people expect their taxes to stay the same and will lose their minds at the mere mention of an increase? Americans live in a fantasy world.
Washington Post reporter Alex Horton talks about the Sept. 2 U.S. military strike on a boat with alleged "narco terrorists," in which a second strike was ordered to kill two survivors in the water.
Yo guys, I have just published the Web version of God's Disdain on Newgrounds! Please check it out and, if you have an account, give it a rating for me 😀 That would be fantastic!
AI Warning: Google has been caught A/B testing replacing real article headlines with AI-generated substitutes, which are of course sometimes wildly misleading/against journalistic ethics. If you see a blatantly horrible headline in a news aggregator, check whether the site's own page matches before blaming the site! pcgamer.com/software/ai/google…
with or without AI, A/B testing as practiced by Silicon Valley is unethical. It ranges from quiet gaslighting to full-on Stanford prison experiments with no ethics board or informed consent.
@catsalad Oh, it's worse than that. Most of them are incels who made good and discovered that there are women who are turned on by someone wealthy. Consent, to them, is just another thing you can buy. Besides, even if you can't, you can buy off the fallout, which, I imagine, is much the same thing to them. What's $250k to someone who makes a billion every month?
ok but like, I've been conditioned by 20 years of journalists protesting "I didn't do it, the headline writer put that there!" about their insanely misleading and unethical headlines…
if there were ever a better time to read the entire article instead of just going off the headline…
(For non-media folks, if you didn't know: reporters do not write their own headlines or have any say in it, editors do. Media outlets typically change headlines without notice periodically as the story changes, to test different ones, to get better social media engagement, etc.)
How am I supposed to check if the page matches. Sites have been changing their headlines in realtime multiple times on the day that they post it for years. For all I know the headline could not match because it was rewritten by an AI or a human.
The "BG3 players exploit children" line is particularly bad. Look how easy it is now to mark someone as a sexual offender without taking any responsibility whatsoever because "an AI summarized an article"
News aggregators have no utility if they don't bring you facts in the headlines. If the AI can and does extract and display facts that the clickbaity headlines didn't, that's ok. If it's clickbait all the way down, then the news is dead.
at this point you start wondering if those sites can sue Google for slander / libel? They are basically being quoted incorrectly and with grossly different meaning to their detriment.

The image shows a person standing in front of a textured, stone wall. The person is nude from the waist down, displaying pubic hair and genitalia. They are facing forward, with arms relaxed at their sides. The person has short, dark hair and appears to have a slim build with visible abdominal muscles. A dark wristband is visible on one wrist.

My threshold for “literally Hitler” is based on how authoritarian regimes actually emerge: through escalating political violence, targeted killings, routine bombings, armed groups seizing territory, mass arrests, disappearances, and state-run terror. Germany, China, Russia, Vietnam, Cambodia—every real example involved years of bloodshed. Without that level of sustained violence, we are not in a comparable historical scenario.

EU pushes ahead with plan to use frozen Russian assets for Ukraine as Moscow denies rejecting US peace plan - Europe live theguardian.com/world/live/202…
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's governing coalition skipped a parliamentary vote on Wednesday endorsing US President Donald Trump's plan to end the two-year war on Gaza.
The non-binding vote potentially risked embarrassing Netanyahu if some of his coalition partners, who have criticised Trump's plan, had voted against it. The plan alludes to Palestinian statehood, which Netanyahu's government opposes.
