"It is not difficult to understand why Jewish people desire the overthrow of Nazi Germany. The persecution they suffered in Germany would be sufficient to make bitter enemies of any race...We cannot blame them for looking out for what they believe to be their own interests, but we also must look out for ours." —Charles Lindbergh, 1941 h/t R' Josh Shanes
The whole "Ukranians are Nazis" thing is so ridiculous. Was/are there Neo-Nazis in Ukraine? Ofc. The same way there were Nazis in all allied nations during WWII. There are always authoritarian fragile and fearful authoritarian loving types in any society. Is it national policy? Are the Nazis invading their neighbours? I mean...come on. We all know who the real Nazis are.

Oh great, just what we need.

How Did the Romans Make Concrete That Lasts Longer Than Modern Concrete? The Mystery Finally Solved

Why do structures built only a few years ago look like they’ve been weathering the elements for centuries, when buildings thousands of years old, like many parts of the Pantheon or Trajan’s Markets in Rome, look like they’re only a few years old?

Enough dogpiling on China. The almost gleeful news coverage in the US. The panting "I told you so" toots. It's too much.

1. Yes, it will be bad. This is a reason to be caring.
2. Nobody wins here. More deaths on one side of the Pacific doesn't mean fewer deaths on the other.
3. The list of countries that rolled out the perfect policy for every twist of this unprecedented epidemic is zero.
4. The US has had and continues to have plenty of deaths due to poor policy.
5. Our family is dying. For some of us, our literal family.

Show some fucking respect. Show some humanity.

Amazing to see such a difference. Berlin Germany before in the 1940s (below) & the same place recently (above.)

Tiny Mastodon Newbie Tip 🐘✨:

Direct Messages here are better described as Mentioned People Only toots (posts).

Direct Messages will appear in your timeline and be visible to ANYONE that you have tagged in this toot 👥​

So, if you are Direct Messaging someone, but write the handle of someone else to recommend them (or something else...), they will ALSO be included in this Direct Messages  

Be careful with this! ​⚠️

Direct Messages on Mastodon, like on many other platforms, are also not end-to-end encrypted. This means the administrator(s) of your instance and the instance of the person you are sending it to could, if they wanted, read them  

Do not write any sensitive information in Mastodon Direct Messages. Or on any other platform that does not provide solid end-to-end encryption 🔒​

So I understand that the bird site has started blocking links to common/known Mastodon instances, and that doesn't seem like free speech to me. So... I did a thing.

If you go to https://spacekaren.sucks it is now a URL shortener that blocks the twitter user agent. That means you can share that link that will redirect to your Mastodon account without the pouty baby stopping you. If you find this helpful can you boost so others can find it? #TwitterMigration #Mastodon #Musk #introduction

Space Karen Sucks

Free speech really should be free. To bypass the new censorship regime at twitter, use this URL shortener to link to Mastodon or other censored destinations. Considering recent policy decisions on twitter, please be aware that use of links generated from this site may constitute a violation of their policy.
