If written language survives the next six weeks, we’ll be writing about Donald Trump for a thousand years. But whatever else there is to say, the most important thing about Donald Trump, the thing that is obvious from watching him speak for just 14 seconds, is that he is profoundly stupid. Whatever it is that he might be talking about or doing at any given moment, it’s clear that while he has a reptilian instinct for reading and stoking conflict, he has no real idea what’s going on and he doesn’t really care to. Stupid is what he is and where he comes from. It is his mind and his soul. Catholic was what JFK was. Gay was what Harvey Milk was. Stupid is who Donald Trump is.And that’s what they love most, the Stupid-American voters.
Remember that sentence you heard at the beginning of all this in 2016? “He’s just saying what everybody is thinking.”
But see, not everybody was thinking that Hillary Clinton was an alien, that global warming was a Chinese hoax and that what America needed most of all was a plywood wall stretching from Texas to California. Only the stupid people were. And suddenly, in an instant, the most powerful man on earth was thinking just like them. With his clueless smirk and unstoppable rise, he turned people whose stupidity made them feel like nobody into people who felt like everybody.
That’s why he’ll never lose them. Because it was never about what he did or didn’t do. All that stuff is very confusing and the Stupid-American community isn’t interested in the details. They love him for who he is, which is one of them, and because he shows them every day that Stupid-Americans can reach the social mountaintop.

“They Can Fake Ebola”: Dr. Dolores Cahill’s Explosive Claim About Nanotech, Radiation & Bio-Psyops
Could future “Ebola outbreaks” actually be engineered neurological attacks disguised as viral pandemics?
"Molecular Biologist Dolores Cahill says that between metallic nanoparticles in the COVID injections and "micro bursting" of "radiation" in cities, Ebola outbreaks can be faked by causing brain hemorrhages and "mini strokes."

Demo of Castopod ActivityPub support and demo of Mastodon tip jar using Web Monetization
As the social networking landscape evolves, marked by moments of mass migration between platforms—often triggered by political or cultural shifts—open-source ecosystems have a unique opportunity to make a difference. While the values of "libre" and open source resonate strongly within the developer and advocacy communities, broader user adoption is often driven by features and usability rather than philosophical alignment. This is why fairness and sustainability are critical elements in building a future-proof social web.
In this talk, we will focus on the practical implementation of fair monetization within the fediverse. We will demonstrate how Web Monetization allows creators to receive tips from their audience, either proportionally to the time spent consuming content or through one-time contributions.
More importantly, we will show how this is implemented in code, leveraging Castopod (an open-source, fediverse-connected podcast hosting platform) in three different ways: HTML, RSS, and Activity Streams.
Additionally, we’ll present a live demo showcasing cross-platform tipping on another fediverse platform. This demonstration will provide a detailed look at the technical foundation, illustrating how developers can implement and extend these capabilities in their own projects.
Now is the time for open-source developers to seize the moment as users seek alternatives to centralized platforms. We invite projects to integrate and extend these functionalities. Together, we can create a vibrant, sustainable, and open fediverse for everyone.
Sources:
- Castopod source code
- Web Monetization JSON-LD context for Activity Streams
- Mastodon draft pull request

Just bought box wine the other day cuz I knew I had to have a super uncomfortable conversation that could not be avoided and I needed to be anaesthetized for it
It worked and I know in retrospect I really needed it to be that way
Edit/Update: person I had convo with just texted me and apologized for combativeness and I mutually apologized for not dealing with it sooner and we're along and on to solution mode. The system works, please dont drink if you dont have too but dont forbid yourself from using a tool to improve your situation and try to always be honest. The less you lie or hide, the less influence you will have to unnecessarily drink
Uncomfortable? I'd prefer caffeine for that.
Alcohol might compel me to say something I'd regret.

You're just firing off the spider questions today.
My brother had had some till a while ago, but they don't live that long. He had two of the American species ones and a redback. They are really chill spiders and don't handle differently than any other local Theridiid spider. They are quite boring, really.
You don't really interact with them, they setup their web and then they'll just stay there till they die of old age (around 2 years).

Thinking about a wood gas generator which can handle large pieces of wood.
Two fireboxes, left side and right side.
No grate, flat surface at the bottom of each firebox.
Small transfer-slot between the two fireboxes at the bottom.
Below each firebox is an ash box, a small exhaust transfer slot is at the outside edge between the firebox and the ash box below it.
Intake air enters at the top of one of the two fireboxes, exhaust exits via one of the two ash boxes.
A set of valves selects which firebox gets intake air and which ash box gets exhaust vacuum.
Intake left, exhaust right makes the left firebox downdraft and the right firebox cross-draft. Green arrow shows this. Obviously inverting the intake and exhaust side swaps the roles.
Freshly added wood goes on the downdraft side, where pre-heated intake air bakes the moisture out of the wood. Steam from the fresh wood transfers to the cross-draft side where hot coals pull oxygen from the air and steam, creating flammable carbon monoxide and hydrogen gasses.
When the cross-draft side burns down to a small bed of coals, the direction of flow is reversed, the cross-draft side becomes the down-draft side, and it can be re-filled with fresh wood.
