‘It’s too late’: David Suzuki says the fight against climate change is lost
ipolitics.ca/2025/07/02/its-to…
"We have failed to shift the narrative and we are still caught up in the same legal, economic and political systems," said David Suzuki in an exclusive interview with iPolitics. "For me, what we've got to do now is hunker down."
I’m not giving up on the immediate years, but the focus on politics, economics, and law are all destined to fail because they are based around humans. They’re designed to guide humans, but we’ve left out the foundation of our existence, which is nature, clean air, pure water, rich soil, food, and sunlight. That’s the foundation of the way we live and, when we construct legal, economic and political systems, they have to be built around protecting those very things, but they’re not.

Okay here is my very simple concept for a #FediCard - a "business card" that encourages people to join the #Fediverse and links to @_elena 's explanatory video.
My idea is that people can hand these out at #protests, political organizations, and so forth - where politically active people gather who already have had bad experiences with commercial social media.
The back side could be customized further to list an instance which is most relevant to the place where you want to share them - for example, I want to print a variant for the gruene.social #Mastodon instance.
I will certainly try to apply my meagre #design skills to make this more appealing, but first I wanted to hear what you all think of this concept, and what your suggestions for improvement are.
(Note: If you want to play around with the design, I have made it available in #SVG / #Inkscape format. The template has the 85 x 55 mm size for European business cards, so you will want to adjust it for other regions.)
EDIT: The new folder for the FediCard is here:
@doctormo Sure! I illustrated for Framasoft many metaphorical representations of federated instances; all with sources (layers) and under CC-By. It can be a starting point.

@JoBlakely I definitely like this being a one-pager!
The biggest challenge here is that the site has been translated to over 20 languages, all manual work by volunteers, no machine or AI translation involved.
So as you can imagine the impact this has on content updates.
Still, let me give this a bit more thought and see how I can best implement some of this feedback.

🚨 Scam Alert: "Verify your Fedi account" Phishing Attempt 🚧
Attention everyone on Mastodon! There's a scam making the rounds where malicious actors impersonate moderators or admins. They send private messages or make posts that mimic notifications, claiming that your account needs verification. These messages often include a link for you to "complete the verification process."
⚠️ This is a Scam!
Your server admin will never ask you to click a link to verify your account.
No other admin from any other server will either, even if they appear to be part of the main Mastodon team.
If your account is suspended, you won't receive a message about it. Instead, you'll see a notification upon logging in that your account is temporarily suspended.
How to Identify the Scam:
Fake admin accounts often use names containing "moderator" or "admin," but this doesn't mean they are legitimate.
Legitimate admins or instance owners usually have a badge or marking on their profile indicating their role.
What to Do:
If you receive a message or post urging you to click a link to verify your account, report it immediately.
If you have any doubts about your account status, contact your server admin or moderation team directly.
To verify the authenticity of an admin or instance owner, visit the "About" page of your instance. This page typically lists contact information for the real team administering your instance.
Always be cautious when interacting with accounts claiming to be from Mastodon or your instance's admin team.
Important Reminder:
Mastodon does not perform age verification. If you receive a message or post claiming to be from Mastodon or your instance's admin team, always verify its authenticity before taking any action.
Reporting the Scam:
If you encounter this scam, report it to your instance's admin team and use relevant tags, such as #FediBlock, to help raise awareness.
Personal Note:
I'm not a cybersecurity expert, but I find this new scam in the Fediverse quite interesting. If you feel like sharing your experiences with me, I would appreciate it! I'm looking to collect cases and get a broader view of this phishing attack. Maybe I'll even try to write a report about it. Feel free to tag me in any relevant posts.
Let's stay vigilant and help each other stay safe online!

So.... help me understand this...
trump and Epstein were buddies
but they had bidding war over a property for sale
trump and his NPD traits does not like to lose
so he turned Epstein into the FBI
Then trump was made aware Epstein had evidence against him
so trump had Epstein disappeared
trump and Putin had a deal
Putin was desperate about Ukraine receiving so many weapons from Europe and threatened trump
trump thought it was Putin was blackmailing with all this Epstein stuff
so trump blames his own appointees about Ukraine not getting weapons to punish Putin
Zelenski has always been courteous to Israel, trump has not
And Israel is also desperate and trump had another argument
And more billionaires get desperate about the economic instability and argue with trump
So all the billionaires fight to destroy each other with power while civilians continue to die at an accelerated rate

As far as murders, those statistics are probably correct, because Bukele is fascinated with collecting that information, and the US kind of has to because ... guy isn't here anymore.
Stuff like pickpockets, begging, scams, etc. you don't know. However, since most of that stuff is organized, and any "non-violent organized crime" was almost certainly displaced by the murderous gangs that infested El Salvador before Bukele, one can imagine that SV is pretty devoid of any shady activity right at the moment.
Survivorship bias is when you make a conclusion but it's invalid because it doesn't recognize the skew of data caused by survivorship.
"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is an example of an error caused by survivorship bias, in reality, you might have been stronger already and what didn't kill you only demonstrated that you are stronger.
Lindy Effect is an application of survivorship, but not an erroneous one. The logic of Lindy is that things with good survivability last a long time. Things which HAVE lasted a long time have demonstrated survivability, so they obviously have it. Things which have not (yet) lasted a long time have not proven survivability, they might have it, but they likely don't.
A limitation of Lindy Effect is it does not work with things that have a fixed lifetime such as humans. A 2 year old is more likely to last another 20 years than a 90 year old, but that's only because humans have a built-in biological suicide clock.

Usury is a cornerstone of capitalism.
Before capitalism the church prevented Christians from charging interest on loans.
Private ownership of the means of production is a cornerstone of capitalism.
Before capitalism commons existed where regular people that don't own land could hunt forage and gather natural resources.
state enforced monopolies are a cornerstone of capitalism.
The monarchy and nobility were replaced with corporations.
Mediaeval peasants worked less hours each year than the average worker under capitalism does today.
Real capitalists accept this, you won't see them arguing in favour of capitalism.
They understand their wealth comes from exploiting society.
Only wage slave cucks will argue in favour of capitalism, the capitalists themselves are too busy enjoying their privilege to waste their time arguing.
I'm a capitalist. I am free. I am interested in raising up everyday people to become self sovereign. I don't hate the world.

Die palästinensische Flagge steht nicht für „queerfeindlichen Terror“, sondern für den Widerstand gegen koloniale Vernichtung, Apartheid und die tägliche Gewalt des zionistischen Besatzungsregimes. Dass unterdrückerische Strukturen auch innerhalb palästinensischer Gesellschaften existieren, etwa Patriarchat oder Homophobie, ist kein Argument gegen die Befreiung Palästinas, sondern ein Aufruf, diese Kämpfe verbunden zu führen.
Die Logik, dass Kolonisierte erst „fortschrittlich“ genug sein müssen, um Unterstützung zu verdienen, ist zutiefst imperialistisch. Kein Volk wird befreit, indem man es unter Besatzung lässt -queere Palästinenser:innen kämpfen nicht nur gegen Homo- und Transphobie, sondern auch gegen Bomben, Vertreibung und Entmenschlichung durch Israel. Der Vorwurf des „Antisemitismus“ dient dabei oft als Totschlagargument, um jeden Widerstand gegen israelische Staatsgewalt zu delegitimieren, dabei sind jüdische Stimmen gegen Besatzung und Antizionismus seit jeher Teil der Bewegung.
Nationalismus? Es geht um Anti-Kolonialismus. Die Forderung „Free Palestine“ ist kein Bekenntnis zu reaktionären Regimen, sondern eine Anerkennung, dass Befreiung untrennbar ist: Kein Ende der Queerfeindlichkeit ohne Ende des Imperialismus, kein Feminismus ohne Sturz der Besatzung. Wer sich auf CSDs gegen Genozid positioniert, handelt im Geist des Stonewall-Aufstands, der auch kein Bittgesuch an die Mächtigen, sondern ein Aufstand der Unterdrückten war.
Und dabei ist noch nicht einmal berücksichtigt, dass Israel queere Palästinenser*innen mitnichten irgendwie unterstützt, sondern ganz im Gegenteil identifiziert, um ihr Leben zu zerstören, indem sie zur Kollaboration erpresst werden.
Was wiederum umgekehrt den Punkt mit den verbundenen Kämpfen stützt: der Befreiungskampf ‧profitiert‧ vom innerpalästinensischen Kampf gegen Homophobie — nicht abstrakt und theoretisch, sondern ganz konkret, wenn queere Palästinenser*innen dadurch weniger erpressbar werden.
