Oh I'm sorry, Rumble isn't just _a_ right wing site, they're the company that hosts Truth Social, so quadruple fuck that site. https://mastodon.social/@Wraithe/116341852789279041

The original link on Daring Fireball went to a video hosted on Rumble...which is a right wing freako site, which I was reminded of after the vide finished I suddenly started autoplaying some jackass ranting about "Our great leader Trump" after the above video finished.
Fuck that site.

I’m assuming @gruber didn’t know that, I mean I had forgotten until it autoplayed and I was like “W…..TF am I listening to‽”

One of the reasons I started writing a blog was to address my deep dissatisfaction with the way Africa is studied or talked about outside the continent, especially. This is mostly marked by absence. But when it is not, most interlocutors ignore the impact of external interference.

We study the ripples. Not the water. Under which the bodies lie.

I think it's funny that a picture of me literally in Ottawa is the face of "transgender Quebecers" in this article but also am very happy that this was published because now people know like the tip of the iceberg of how fucked it is here

Transgender Quebecers face surgery delays, out-of-province patients get faster care | CBC News

GrS Montreal, the sole clinic in Quebec offering fully subsidized gender-affirming surgeries, recently announced that a change in provincial funding will delay wait times — possibly by years — but only for Quebec patients.

I joined Don Lemon, Joy Ann Reid, and Jim Acosta to report live from the No Kings protest. Corporate media continues to ignore our response to fascism. Independent media continues to show up.

Ground control to Major Tom
Your SMTP’s dead
There’s something wrong

Can you read mail, Major Tom?

Here…am I floating round my tin can
Far, above the moon
WIndows has gone blue
And there’s nothing I can do

- Claude code source "leaks" in a mapfile - people immediately use the code laundering machines to code launder the code laundering frontend - now many dubious open source-ish knockoffs in python and rust being derived directly from the source What's anthropic going to do, sue them? Insist in court that LLM recreating copyrighted code is a violation of copyright???
