I caught most of it live when it aired yesterday but missed the beginning so I'm catching up on that now - how great to see that Katy Jay included my remix of JG Stockton's Xylophonics II.

Dieses Jahr keine #Pride-Flaggen mehr erlaubt, #Israel trotz Völkermord wieder dabei bei der Happy #Genocide Party.
»Die Organisator*innen der Europäischen Rundfunkunion (#EBU) erklären demnach in ihrer neuen Flaggenrichtlinie, dass damit "politische Botschaften vermieden werden" sollten.«
Offensichtlich, ja.
Und mehr poste ich zu diesem Kadaver von Wettbewerb auch nicht mehr.
Die Europäische Rundfunkunion verbannt die Regenbogenfahne und ihre Ableger von der ESC-Bühne. Wenn ein Act sie – wie Vorjahressieger*in Nemo – trotzdem zeigt, droht der Ausschluss aus dem Wettbewerb. (Musik - Aktuell)

With asshole mods and asshole users running amok around instances unchecked while playing victim when the favor is returned to them. I find that the fediverse as a whole is just like any other socializing platform. No different, just a different coat of paint and a neat little mechanic in how it operates. But, still the same old shit.
No, this is not the same old shit, because while yes of course humans are still humans and will do shitty human things the difference is that there is no easy way to enclose the Fediverse and force an opinion, censor people speaking out against injustice. or hold the entire network hostage to push a profit for investors.
The Fediverse is still definitely vulnerable to those things, and who knows if longterm whether a large corporation or constellation of authoritarian regimes can critically undermine the Fediverse (we will certainly see attempts at some point), but no matter what happens, anybody can still spin up their own instance of Mastodon, Lemmy or any other fediverse software and start creating a new community.
From the perspective of an authoritarian ruling class, the problem of quelling dissent in the masses has gone from buying the one or two tv conglomerate networks that provide news for 100s of millions of people, buying Twitter and sabotaging it, or buying Reddit and paying someone to manipulate it with bots and ban people saying things they don't like, to a Sisyphean hell of having to keep stamping out Fediverse communities wherever they pop up, in whatever country or legal context they happen to pop up all over the globe.
If you think that the Fediverse taking off and reaching a critical mass where lots of people use it daily for normal social media stuff isn't a strategic failure for the dictators and ruthless capitalists willing to create mass murder if it nets them a profit, I don't know what to tell you...
editmaybe this is going too into the conspiracy weeds here to be useful to conjecture about, but until the Fediverse took off virtually ALL online communities with any vibrancy were moving to Discord, and it scared the hell out of me because it would have made the attempt to silence dissent right now across the world and more specifically in my country a trivial task if there was simply no alternative that was anywhere near ready to function for people as a basis for their community. Corporate social media is full of voices refusing to be silenced about the Palestinian Genocide... but would those activists feel so comfortable and would corporate social media companies feel restrained at all if there was no truly no alternative to their social network for communicating online?
I will never forget how almost everybody in my life would basically laugh at me years ago when I voiced concern about Discord vacuuming up seemingly every significant online community, but just think about how right now would be vastly different if activists had NOWHERE to go online if they got banned from Twitter or Discord or Reddit............
What is a black hole? Well, the name is actually a little misleading because black holes aren’t actually holes. They’re regions in space that have a gravitational pull that is so strong that nothing can escape, not even light. Scientists know about two different sizes of black holes — stellar-mass black holes and supermassive black […]

Le fait que ces #massacres, ce nettoyage ethnique pratiqué depuis des centaines de jours par les sionistes puisse devenir une normalité quotidienne acceptable en dit très long sur le niveau de conscience général occidental. Éventuellement une petite phrase entre amis ou en famille du genre « Oh oui, c'est horrible ... » et puis on passe vite à autre chose (en lisant le Canard ou en écoutant franceInter...) parce que de toute façon « on peut rien faire », .....alors que si la moitié du quart des présents sur les réseaux sociaux publiaient tous les jours la-dessus, cela aurait de l'importance et de l'impact....mais non, elles/ils continuent de publier les petites émotions de leur petite vie cocoonée et la vie de leur clébard a plus d'effet sur eux que de cautionner silencieusement des massacres quotidiens. Elles/ils ne veulent pas en parler ni ne veulent voir les images et les vidéos... « c'est trop horrible !. » En fait la plupart des gens ne comprennent absolument RIEN au fonctionnement du monde, et ne veulent surtout pas savoir....
Oui mais imagine qu'on les traite d'anti-sémites, ils vont faire sous eux. Moi ce que je prends toujours la précaution de dire c'est que je suis anti-sionniste et anti-juif, mais surtout pas sympathisant LFI. Du coup l'honneur est sauf ! 😀 Et comme ça je n'ai plus à parler à des cons, mais ça ne fait pas beaucoup avancer les choses, j'en suis conscient.

James Baldwin: The civilized have created the wretched, quite coldly and deliberately, and do not intend to change the status quo; are responsible for their slaughter and enslavement; rain down bombs on defenseless children whenever and wherever they decide that their "vital interests" are menaced, and think nothing of torturing a man to death: these people are not to be taken seriously when they speak of the "sanctity" of human life, or the "conscience" of the civilized world. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.
Democritus: Fools learn wisdom through misfortune.
Democritus: Strength of body is nobility in beasts of burden, strength of character is nobility in men.
Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.
Democritus: Good means not (merely) not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.
Democritus: Fame and wealth without wisdom are unsafe possessions.
Muammar Gaddafi: We will not surrender. We will defeat them by any means. We are ready for the fight, whether it will be a short or a long one. We will be victorious in the end. This assault is by a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history.
Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.
Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.
Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
Democritus: Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.
Democritus: Men have fashioned an image of Chance as an excuse for their own stupidity.
Democritus: In a shared fish, there are no bones.
Democritus: Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.
Democritus: The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.
Democritus: Moderation multiplies pleasures, and increases pleasure.
Democritus: If your desires are not great, a little will seem much to you; for small appetite makes poverty equivalent to wealth.
Democritus: No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.
Democritus: In fact we do not know anything infallibly, but only that which changes according to the condition of our body and of the (influences) that reach and impinge upon it.
Democritus: Of practical wisdom these are the three fruits: to deliberate well, to speak to the point, to do what is right.
Democritus: 'Tis not in strength of body nor in gold that men find happiness, but in uprightness and in fulness of understanding.
Democritus: He who does wrong is more unhappy than he who suffers wrong.
Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
Democritus: The first principles of the universe are atoms and empty space; everything else is merely thought to exist.
Bertolt Brecht: Lenin is enshrined In the large heart of the working class.
One of President Donald Trump’s most controversial executive orders — dismantling birthright citizenship — has been challenged in court and halted by federal judges in three different districts. Now, the three cases against the president’s order will be heard before the U.S. Supreme Court.

One of the goals of the new pope will be to develop Catholic teaching on artificial intelligence (AI), the pope himself shared recently.

House Republicans seeking to end federal funding of abortion businesses received two enormous boosts to their efforts on Monday, as a legislative provision inched closer to adoption and Planned Parenthood released an annual report showing it received more taxpayer funding than any time in history. The report has pro-life experts telling The Washington Stand, “Planned Parenthood must be defunded.”
A newly enacted Tennessee law prohibits schools from punishing employees and teachers for referring to trans-identified students by their given name and pronouns, as public school staff in other states have faced professional repercussions for declining to use trans-identified students’ preferred names and pronouns.
During his trip to Riyadh on Tuesday, President Donald Trump and Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, signed more than a dozen agreements addressing each nation's armed forces, justice departments, and cultural institutions.
@violetmadder It's brillant and I loved it, too. This season of The Rehearsal is even better in my opinion and unfortunately we probably won't see another season of The Curse, because Paramount Plus is a company with some questionable viewpoints.
The House Republicans' plan to reform Medicaid revives a popular conservative idea from decades earlier known as "workfare" that imposes work requirements on welfare recipients.
In the 1980s, the U.S. government experimented in Midwest states like Wisconsin and Michigan with "workfare" which requires recipients of welfare benefits to do public service or attend job training.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard says the Biden-era mentality of treating conservatives and citizens with dissenting views like domestic terrorists was an “abuse of power,” signaling that a 2021 memo that empowered the FBI to probe Americans for “concerning non-criminal behavior” is no longer operative.
Dissent is patriotic again: Just the News reported last week that a June 2021 domestic terrorism policy memo allowed federal agencies like the FBI and Homeland Security to surveil and question Americans if an agent believed they had been involved in …

Anyone reading this in the continental US looking for an antique but well preserved baby grand piano (that will see use?). My friend Anna is executor of her parents estate and she really wants to re-home the family piano that her family has owned for 100+ years. The estate will pay for shipping anywhere in the continental US.
She acknowledges that baby grand pianos and pianos in general are out of style but this would mean a lot to her after a rough year.

Ich komm, weil ich dir sagen will, Dein Beispiel macht mich klein und still und bringt mein freches Lästern mal zum Schweigen.

Mißliebige Blicke manchmal sie sind nicht so genannt normal laß mich für die sprachlosen Münder sagen . . . Hab Dank für deine Zeit. Hab Dank für deine Freundlichkeit, für die Arbeit deiner Hände, für den Mut der Wiederstände überwindet, und alle Engstirnigkeit.
Hab Dank für deine Zeit. Du, die im Altenheim wie's heißt geduldig zuzuhören weist, wo wir die alten Leute nur verwalten. Denen, die dort vergessen sind, bist du Verwanter, Freund und Kind, der einzige Besuch, den sie erhalten. Du in dem großen Krankenhaus machst deinen Dienst tagein, tagaus und du besitzt die Kraft Leiden zu mindern. Kein Ruhm, kein Orden der dir fehlt, die Aufgabe, die dich beseehlt, ist Trost zu geben und Schmerzen zu lindern . . . Zu seh'n, daß es Leute wie dich unter uns gibt, das tröstet mich und die Gewißheit dessen ist mit teuer. Ein Funke deiner Menschlichkeit wärmt mich in unsrer rauen Zeit und leuchtet wie ein großen Freudenfeuer . . .
