California husband says he will continue to support MAGA movement after wife taken into federal custody

New blog post! I wrote about one of the weirdest CDs in my collection - a CD single with a few lo-fi music videos and the distinct vibes that this is the leftover wreckage of what was supposed to be a much bigger project that never came to pass.

cdrom.ca/music/multimedia/2025…

Austria took the stigma out of social housing. Here's what Canada could learn


"At that time, I was pregnant with my first kid," she said. "I lived in a two-room apartment … it was an OK building, but it was small for us."

[She] went to an online portal, entered her income and requirements, and was ranked alongside thousands of other residents. Soon, she was assigned a new apartment: a three-bedroom unit in a brand-new building, adjacent to Vienna's Central Station.

"I love it. It's in the middle of Vienna," she said. "A lot of young families moved in at the same time…. There's a big campus here, with a kindergarten and primary school. There's dancing classes, and a boulder bar, and a huge park."

[She] wasn't desperate to find housing. She and her partner earned middle-class incomes. But in recent years, Vienna has become renowned among housing experts for its model of social housing, which provides heavily subsidized rental units to more than half of the city's two million residents.


The key is taking profit out of construction (at least 96.5%), and a robust government that isn't afraid to impinge on the private sector.

I would love to see something like this in Canada, but I don't think our politicians (or electorate) have the guts.

Lemmy.ml continues to allow misinfo/propaganda sites "articles" so long as it's Russia-aligned/anti-west while removing good credible news sources. Instances that federate with them help their spread


This is what the admins of .ml cultivate, as documented in the megathread

Credible sources removed just within the last day: lemmy.world/post/32298242 lemmy.world/post/32426343

.ml is not much different than the rest of the Triad, continued federation with them is continuing to allow them to spread toxic misinformation and behavior across the Threadiverse.

If you're an instance admin, please consider defederation.

Users, consider joining the lemmy.ml boycott today and help foster a better Lemmy-verse! No more posts, comments (except to counter their propaganda ofc!) or upvotes on any comms on the Lemmy.ml instance.

Other wonderful content, and this is just from when I looked at the local new feed a bit ago:

Classic RT I'm sure you all know and Pravda.ru "Pravda Report"


Documentation of Lemmy.ml's Extremism [Megathread]


Good job everyone blocking and boycotting .ml! It's having an effect, users are noticing and MAUs on their comms are falling!

And for anyone asking "Why are we boycotting/blocking lemmy.ml?" Here's a quick recap:

Lemmy.ml is an instance run by admins who are hardcore tankies and will enforce their ideology on their instance through various means from allowing (and pushing it themselves) propaganda (Such as Russia being justified in some way to invade Ukraine) and known propaganda outlets (Like RT) to removing content on their instance critical of their favored authoritarian regimes such as Russia or China and even banning users for such speech or speech critical of them if it's off their instance (Just like the Reddit mods of ol!).

If it was just some random instance it would have been defederated from long ago like the rest of the "Tankie Triad" (Hexbear and Lemmygrad), but they've positioned lemmy.ml as the "flagship" instance and abused that position and influence to become large enough to keep other instances from defederating from them.

Which I believe is harmful to the Lemmy-verse's overall growth and outside reputation. I have seen it come up before on Reddit threads (and other testimonials from people who came back and tried it again) that "They tried Lemmy but it was a bunch of tankies and went back to Reddit"

I don't know about you, but I'd prefer Lemmy to not end up with the reputation for being "Tankie Central " or even worse "Voat 2.0".

So if you haven't joined the boycott yet, join today and help us foster a better healthier Lemmy-verse!

I don't think it was on the support comm, but they did respond on a thread about it once on why they don't defed from them like they did the other 2.

It boiled down to 3 things: big comms, official Lemmy support comms and the fact the devs rolled out instance blocking tools

The 1st one, I'm hopefully solving with my cross-posting and calls for boycotting, the third one is by calling attention to the fact that it doesn't work as one would think. Pretty sure everyone thought block meant block when it was being discussed.

Racist AI-generated videos are the newest slop garnering millions of views on TikTok

These videos — seemingly created with Google’s Veo 3, a publicly accessible text-to-video generator — traffic in racist tropes, such as depicting Black people as monkeys and criminals and featuring imagery of Black people with watermelons and fried chicken.

"Auf Planet XY gibt es kein Wasser" – oh, Wasser gefunden.
"Neandertaler*innen waren dumm wie Brot" – oh, hochentwickelt & intelligent.

@quincy PS. und nein, damit will ich nicht Wissenschaftler*innen etwas vorwerfen. Die Naturwissenschaften sind das wichtigste, was wir haben und die meisten machen einen großartigen Job.

Seit Jahrzehnten rechnen sie der Öffentlichkeit mit stoischer Ruhe und fundierter Faktenlage vor, was die Menschheit anrichtet, und wohin es führen kann und führen wird.

Dass die meisten Modelle dennoch – wie sich jetzt zeigt – viel zu vorsichtig extrapolieren, liegt denke ich daran, dass die meisten Menschen zu Optimismus neigen, und zu krasse Modelle eher aussortiert werden.

Die unteren 30 Prozent der Haushalte werden durch die neue Regelung unter dem Strich belastet, die oberen zehn Prozent großzügig entlastet.

...Ich möchte dazu kritisch anmerken:

M.E. waren die US-Amerikaner NIE so freiheitsliebend, wie sie sich das selber gerne erzählten.

Wie komme ich zu dem Schluss?

A) Erfahrungen in und mit US-amerikanischen Unternehmen, die alle streng top-down regiert wurden. Demokratisch war da gar nichts. Alles war scheiß-autoritär, "but with a professional smile".

B) Das hier: zeit.de/2017/04/rechtspopulism…

Der Freiheitsbegriff Amerikas war stets primitiv und mittelalterlich. Aber das story telling war gut.

in reply to Nutt Los

...Letztlich sind die USA Opfer ihrer eigenen größten Stärke geworden:

"Eigenmarketing"

Sie sind unter die Fuchtel eines Narzissten geraten, der das Eigenmarketing perfektioniert hat.

Und haben zu spät gemerkt, was passiert, weil sie sich ihr Eigenmarketing als "Land of the Free" selbst abgekauft haben.

In Wirklichkeit wissen die USA genauso wenig wie die restliche heutige, neuzeitliche Welt, wie Freiheit entsteht und worin sie besteht

Die USA waren IMMER ein Land aus Untertanen der Reichen

Eine Studie belegt: Das D-Ticket hat seit der Preiserhöhung auf 58 Euro gut 1 Mio. Abos verloren. Vor allem bei jungen Leuten und bei den Job-Tickets brechen die Zahlen ein. Davor hatte der VCD gewarnt – seine Wirkung kann das Ticket nur entfalten, wenn der Preis stimmt.

Deshalb fordern wir:

👉 Den Preis stabil halten!
👉 Jugend- und Sozialtickets für maximal 29€!
👉 Kinder bis 14 kostenlos im Nah- und Regionalverkehr!

Yesterday I accidentally learned about how vitamin C can help prevent histamin intolerance reactions such as blisters and rash.

I was curious as to what exactly are in the blisters that itch so terrible. Which led me from one thing to another, apparently there are some over the counter compound that help digesting histamin without the intolerant reactions.

And then it is casually mentioned. Or U can try vitamin C since that will help the body digest histamine.

Probably cheaper than medicine.

— I also struggle with histamine issues (thanks, alpha-gal). I need to try adding more vitamin c into my diet! (Or find a good powder that’s gentle on my tummy and free of magnesium stearate.)

Unfortunately, citrus fruits, although low in histamine, are histamine liberators, so I can only eat them in small amounts or I get symptoms. It works pretty well though for me to combine citrus with an antihistamine fruit like blueberries or grapes.
