Progressives love to wrap their “sanctuary cities” with the muddled glow of moral righteousness. But if you peel off the press releases and look at the mechanics, they bear an uncomfortable resemblance to something Democrats would rather we forget: post-Civil War nullification of civil rights laws. floppingaces.net/most-wanted/w…
$[x2 We've just released version 2025.4.3 of Sharkey! [size=small](warning: long)[/size]]
Sensitive content
Just a few bugfixes, honest! 😅 - Migrating frontend preferences from pre-2025.4.2 should be more reliable now. - Parsing of incoming activities should be faster and use less memory. - Many database queries are now faster. - Blocking / silencing many instances will no longer slow down yours. - Caches should be more correct. - The "slow query" warning in the server logs can now be configured. - S3 errors during media uploads are now correctly reported to the frontend. - More consistent handling of note visibility and silenced instances / users. - The MFM parser now accepts markdown image links like , and those images are fetched like attachments (they're not yet rendered inline, though). - Many privacy / security fixes. - Improved notification grouping. - Suspending a user no longer severs their follows, so they'll be restored when the user is un-suspended. - On a note's detailed view, the "reactions" tab shows all the details of the first reaction group by default. - API endpoints emit a X-Robots-Tag: noindex header to deter indexing. - Videos will be optimized for streaming (not re-encoded, the metadata will just be modified slightly). - The admin view of a user's profile now shows their sign-up reason. - A few admin and moderation pages have been redesigned and should be more usable, especially on mobile. - Server logging has been improved, it should now provide more details with less noise. - Improved interoperability of quotes with Mastodon and other software that implements fep-e232 and/or fep-044f. - Show attributions (fediverse:creator) in link previews, and allow users to set their "attribution domains". - If enabled in the default policy, non-logged-in users can use translation features. - Some frontend pages now retry API calls when they hit a rate limit. - DeepLX works again. - Fixed receiving poll votes. - Users can again set their custom search engine for MFM's [search] feature. - "Show muted words" works the right way around. - Reworked the "trending polls" page.
Recommendations to admins: - If your users had a broken migration, they can try re-importing via Settings → other → 🗘 Migrate old client settings, but we suggest backing up their current preferences first. - The default policy now disables translation, you may want to create a conditional role matching all local users to re-enable it for them. - We've added many new indexes to the database, we recommend running a vacuum (analyse, verbose) after the migrations have completed. - If you do not use Docker, to avoid potential crashes when rendering some SVG images, you should make sure that your system has librsvg and some fonts (on Debian-style systems, that's librsvg2-2 and fonts-noto).
The European Union has decided to postpone lowering the price cap on oil from Russia amid the conflict in the Middle East, Politico reports, citing European diplomats.
This should cause leftists to self-reflect, but for the most part, it won't. They're deluded into thinking they're right, and better than everyone else on specious grounds of feigned moral superiority. Instead of looking to self-correct, and do actual good in the world, they'd rather drag everyone else down to their level of misery. That's why few of them can be reasoned with. breitbart.com/politics/2025/06…
Across every possible social characteristic (race, income, age, religion, sex, and even political activity), a 60,000-person survey shows conservatives are much happier than leftists.
NYT glibly states that China has a lot to lose from a wider war instigated by the US, but there’s not much it can do about it. A real mask off moment for the "rules based" world order.

The U.S. Constitution is in the hands of those who ignore it, writes Andrew P. Napolitano. The consequences are deaths of innocents and the undermining of constitutional norms.

Between Deltarune and 28 Years Later I have Feelings about Church again. Never thought that would happen. It's nostalgic in a way that makes it clear I could never have been a human being.
Church is the place where a goth boy hits you with a whiffle ball bat but then feels guilty about it so lets you have a swing at him, and it's weirdly cute but you're so fucked in the head already you can't process those emotions until 25 years later. Church is where your youth group leader says gay rights are non-negotiable but it's a bridge too far to support trans people because that would be having a mind so open your brains fall out. Church is where you crawl through a floor ventilation duct and find a cool milk bottle from the 1800s but then the fire alarm goes off and you think you're going to die. Church is where you sleep when you have to get up early and go to church but then sometime between the ages of 6 and 12 it stops being socially acceptable. Church is where donuts. Lots of bittersweet sublime moments from church. Like a quinine solution baked into your skull permanently every time you think about human beings.

Telegram co-founder Pavel Durov will divide his estimated $117 billion fortune among his 106 plus children upon his death, he said: The kids include those who were naturally conceived and as a sperm donor

I think it's a sign of progress that it's been many years now since I seriously thought "am I REALLY queer or have I just somehow tricked myself into thinking I'm queer while all along I've actually been straight??"
Existing as I have in the area of bi but also aromantic and somewhere on the asexual spectrum, it was hard for a long time to see my experience reflected in that of anyone else, which made me question my own sense of reality in a way I now find quite sad.
The other day I said to a friend, in bafflement, "can you believe I spent years questioning whether I was queer??" And she laughed at the absurdity of it. I'm glad that doubt is in the past.
Additionally the categories of cisgender and heterosexual are violently enforced and rigidly policed, it's all fake anyway, and everyone would find greater happiness in breaking free of it in whatever ways suit them.
It's fitting but I grimace every time I describe myself as acespec because most people don't really understand what all that encompasses, and I know the assumptions people are likely to make about me are Wrong which is frustrating.
Why would they? When two kids are beating up the new Muslim kid, the teachers punish them. Not the other children on the playground. Europe doesn have a beef with #iran. Nobody really does. The #unitedstates does because #israel and #Jesus. Everyone else just let's Iran sit there not doing a thing to the other kids. Iran is FAAAR more Western than #americans realize. wgme.com/news/nation-world/eur…
i'm not sure why iran being western should be a compliment. anyways, you really think "europe" in general doesn't have beef with iran? im curious to hear about that.
@benda You just never heard anything about it in the European press too often unless it's something the US is getting involved with. Iran has been the boogie man for the US ever since 9/11.
ooh i see what you mean. maybe press is better in europe? i personally think the press is at least slightly better coming out of europe. over here our press is the beneficiary of campaign donations-purchased politcal media blitzes than happen every 2 years so there's virtually no credibility, and they share the same bias as the "defense" community because of this. but with european states... i think the uk, germany, france, and even italy are 100% on board with the israeli project. Currently, as well as historically. This is an economic thing and military-alliance thing. I guess cultural too. And these countries are all on the same side with respect to each of the three.
@benda I don't understand any other European language except for Norwegian. Norway is a little different because they're a neutral country. But I think the rest of Europe is actually pretty torn about the situation in Israel. And nobody seems to understand it. Is it just Israel against the Palestinians? The Iranians? Or just the Muslim world as a whole? Nobody really knows. And the US isn't as cavalier about what genocide means like Europe is for obvious reasons.
@benda So I think for Europe it's very much a damned if you do, damned if you don't sort of thing. Especially since Iran has never acted provocatively towards Europe as they have the US.
okay yeah i agree with you 100. i really just wanted to understand how you were using "europe". i think the power brokers in europe, the nuclear powers certainly, fall in a different camp than the others. we're certainly seeing a little bit of resistance from spain, ireland, et al.
@benda Oh, and what I mean by Iran being very Western-like is in that they crave western products...BUT...they want European products. They don't want Nikes. They want Adidas. And there is a huge black market in Iran for those products.
I have no idea how the Iran-Israel war is going on the ground. But my browsing of various social media apps tells me that Iran is winning the social media war. Posts and videos celebrating every strike on Israel outnumber pro-Israeli content by about 5 to 1. I don't think that it's just my personal feed either. I'm making an effort to find a variety of sources. I have noticed that MAGA fascists are mostly opposed to any further US involvement. Who would have thought that fascists would be anti Israel? #War #MiddleEast #Israel #Iran
I wouldn't say anti-Israel, but anti-war/isolationist exists among some of them. we'll see if it changes anything. as far as social media wars... are you on any of the corporate ones? the fedi is generally left-leaning, and we don't have a bot/astro-turfing problem. At least not amongst the federated instances. imho.
The View co-host Sara Haines hit social media to issue a rare correction and clarify remarks she made on Wednesday criticizing the freedoms afforded to women
i have yet to see anyone point out that in iran, women have full access to health-care on the state's dime. i think we should count points on which country is worse to women and then bomb the loser.
"As political and economic freedom diminishes, sexual freedom tends compensatingly to increase. And the dictator (unless he needs cannon fodder and families with which to colonize empty or con- quered territories) will do well to encourage that freedom. In conjunction with the freedom to day- dream under the influence of dope and movies and the radio, it will help to reconcile his subjects to the servitude which is their fate."

About an hour ago I bought the domain bronchiectasis.life because I'm having no luck connecting with a bronchiectasis org to use my t shirt designs, and I want to make t shirts, and they need a url because no one knows what bronchiectasis is. So I’m just making my own. Plan is to have a simple landing page with some very basic info and links to whatever on-demand printing service I use for my 3 bronchiectasis t-shirt designs.
Dreamhost offered to build a site for me based on one sentence ("information about bronchiectasis with links to t-shirts for sale") and I hit the "next" button and, well, it made this. I can't stop laughing. It's 100% full of shit.

I just finished #PicksAndShovels last night. Really fun read. It clearly comes from @pluralistic's heart. I won't say anything about the plot bc it unfolds beautifully and then folds itself up in a very satisfying way, but I will say that along with being a thriller set in the early days of computing, it's a coming-of-age story about being young and full of good intentions but with lots and lots to learn. I think a lot of men will relate to it. I hope it's not the last Hench novel!
@hmorrell Maybe, but #PicksAndShovels really feels like the origin story to me. It touches on and strongly implies Marty's teens so that it can get him to university.
Personally, I'd like to see his early forensic accountant adventures: in his prime, doing his thing, maybe getting into the occasional actual scrape.
