I just created an account on the newly-launched social media platform UpScrolled.
First impression: clean, really easy to sign up to and get going. Format looks like a mix between Twitter and Instagram.
I like the core ideas behind this platform. It's based in Australia, with servers in Ireland. Created by Issam Hijazi, an Australian-Palestinian, and backed by Tech For Palestine incubator.
So, unlike Instagram, Twitter, Bluesky and Mastodon, Palestinians and Arabs will not constantly have to deal with shadowbans or suspension.
It promises to be activist, artist, and organiser friendly. Will be interesting to see how the community develops.

Some Dems are terrified to be blamed for shutting down the government. What leverage do we have, they whine. THE PURSE:
1. The budget on offer is going to be absolutely horrific; reject it and OFFER BETTER.
2. MusktRump has already shut the government down by firing so many thousands of people.
3. DEMANDS:
a. no budget until he rehires all those people they were illegally fired;
b. a SANE budget; and, most importantly,
c. FIRE MUSK & RATS AND ELIMINATE DOGE.

Just to be clear: Palestinians who refuse to “voluntarily” enter this concentration camp will be MURDERED if Israel decides with no proof or obligation to provide any proof.
Those inside the "most humanitarian concentraiton camp" will also be killed if Israel "think" they are Hamas or may be a danger to Israel any time in the future, even children since many IDF forces see Palestinian resistance as something in the bloodline of the resistance fighters.
That’s the plan. Stated openly. And people still insist with a straight face that this isn’t genocide.
And this is the country and the criminal regime the EU, US, Canada, Australia and the Arab league support, fund and protect!

Stell dir vor, du bist derart menschenverachtend und moralisch verwest, dass du in einem offiziellen Dokument, behauptest, es sei ein gutes Argument gegen ein Aussetzen der privilegierten Sonderbehandlung Israels durch die EU, dass ein “bake sale" zugunsten von Kindern in Gaza stattgefunden hat, den du irgendwie doof findest. Dass das also irgendwie genauso schlimm sei, wie lückenlos dokumentierte sadistische Kriegsverbrechen und Massenmord und gegen diese aufgewogen werden müsse.

I must admit my morning wood is impressive today.
"Does anyone really believe that would not have happened if there were just some different executives at Google? The structural forces of capitalism, of the public market, of the demand for growth at all costs would have bowled them over too.
Indeed, we’ve already run the experiment on whether a set of companies and executives claiming they’d be better than the old guard will really deliver on that promise. That was exactly the narrative the tech industry sold to the world when it was a bunch of startups and scrappy founders fighting to displace the dominant firms they were going up against. They promised they would “do no evil.”
That narrative was valuable in selling themselves and their products to the public, with ample help from a credulous media that loves to chase money and power. Years later, we can see it was an effective marketing campaign that allowed them to evade regulation and taxation that applied to traditional industries for far longer than they should’ve gotten away with.
The tech oligarchs are just as bad as — if not worse than — the executives and monopolists that preceded them, and a new crop of founders won’t change the way that vast wealth and power tends to corrupt those who wield it.
There are certainly exceptions to these rules. Wikipedia remains a non-profit entity and Signal seems to be resisting the pressure to pursue growth at all costs. But they’re few and far between, and it’s not better founders that will change that. It requires upending the structural forces that push companies and the people who run them to cast all other considerations aside in the pursuit of power and profit."

We are looking for an investor who can loan our holding company 237,000 US dollars.
With this money, we will open a farm in Baku, Azerbaijan to produce animal-based food.
We will also make our own animal feed, so our products will be healthier, better quality, and cheaper.
Because we sell quality products for less and have strong advertising, we will sell more worldwide and make big profits.
Why Azerbaijan? Because animal farming makes a lot of money there, but few people do it. That’s why we will earn more by starting in Azerbaijan.
Additionally, by producing our own animal feed, we will be able to sell healthier, higher quality animal products at a lower price.
Since we can sell quality products cheaply and thanks to our strong advertising network, we will be able to sell more internationally and make huge profits.
The reason for establishing the business in Azerbaijan is that animal husbandry is a very profitable business in Azerbaijan, but since there are very few people doing animal husbandry, establishing the farm in Azerbaijan will provide us with more income.
Your profit:
You will lend 237,000 US dollars to our holding company and when 22.03.2026 comes, you will receive your money back as 953,000 US dollars.
Your earnings will be great. When 22.03.2026 comes, you will get your money back as 953.00 US dollars.

Absolutely in love with these little guys recently, but I know I'm completely incapable of handling them. Tokay geckos are fast, defensive and have one of the meanest bites among all species of gecko that they like to use any time they feel threatened.

Conversely, chameleon geckos are just as adorable and much more handleable. They're curious, personable and absolutely tiny, with a fully-grown adult typically measuring between 2.5 - 3 inches in length.
I'm debating getting some of these, but I'll wait and see if I'm still interested in 3-4 months so I know I'm not just going through a lizard phase.

in reply to LadyButterfly she/her • • •I live in Chicago and this city feels so full of energy in the summer. There are constant festivals, events, people are hosting cookouts, everyone's outside. It feels like a constant party. You pay for it in the winter though.
I lived most of my life in South Carolina. Last year, I made the mistake of visiting SC in the summer. I had to say no to so many plans in Chicago and leave beautiful weather to visit the hottest, muggiest, no-wind-est place on earth. In Columbia, SC the pride festival is held in October because if it was held in June, people would just die. I told my friends and family that they visit me during the summer and I'll be around for the holidays.
