I remember being really shocked finding out Trump won in 2024. Because I new that was a decisive dark moment in history.

On Sunday, there is a new decisive moment, when the Hungarians decide if Viktor Orbán's corrupt regime continues, or Péter Magyar takes over.

Let this time be different.

The Hungarians need a brighter future.

The world needs a brighter future.

Sam Altman has a new plan to make money from generative AI: he wants intelligence to be treated like water or electricity — and we’ll all have to pay him for it.

His chatbots are degrading people’s ability to retain information and think critically. Now he wants to sell smarts back to us.

here it goes:

what surprises me about the #fediverse is the diversity of ages. am turning 60 and there’s A LOT of folks here 10-20 years older.

so if #Mastodon #Lemmy #Pixelfed aren't just scripty kids but also grandparents, who’s here?

people finding their communities without shitty techbro algorithms.

the fediverse is a new era of #Luddites. we are not here to serve the interests of capitalists. we’re here for the #anarchy of community; because celebrating our Humanity is punk as fuck.

The US government just threatened the Pope. Not metaphorically either. Pentagon officials reportedly invoked the 14th century Avignon Papacy—a historical and devastating event of military conquest of the Catholic Church—as a warning after Leo criticized Trump's war in Iran.

In response, the Pope cancelled his planned US visit. This is not normal, and builds on Hegseth’s oft reported anti-Catholic bigotry. smh

Tl:dr Even the Pope appears unsafe from the clutches of Trump’s fascism.
