The Hyperloop was never meant to be built. Elon Musk admitted it was all about fueling opposition to California’s high-speed rail project so it would get canceled.
He never planned to improve transportation; he just wants to keep people trapped in cars.

Today’s is a lighter installment, mostly because it was a very light week of news with the long July 4 holiday, but also because I have terrible internet service here in Greece and loading images is painstaking work! Fallout from the SCOTUS decisions in the last days of the Court’s term, including overruling Biden on student loan forgiveness and legalizing discrimination against LGBTQ people on free speech grounds, continued to reverberate.
Does anybody on here know of an instance dedicated to Black queer folks? I'm not necessarily planning on moving but I am curious since apart from blacktwitter.io and wibblur I haven't even seen much that's even focused on Black communities. And if there isn't one/aren't many... Is that something people would be interested in? 👀 Edit: well, I went ahead and spent most of the past day making one. https://blackqueer.life is the name. Check it out!
“The clean energy subsidies that undergird President Joe Biden’s climate agenda have just prompted one Norwegian manufacturer to choose Michigan, not Europe, as the site of a nearly $500M factory that will produce the equipment needed to extract hydrogen from water.”
😀 Biden is smashing it.

Ok, folks.
I'm fucking broke and I'm looking for any work either:
1. #GraphicDesign (layout for #TTRPGs or #Wargames, #WebDesign, etc...), or
2. #Editing rules for clarity and #accessibility #a11y
Boosts are appreciated to help me find people who are interested in working with me.
If you are interested, DM or email me (in bio).
UPDATE: Less broke, still want for work. Changed what work I'm looking for! And TAGS.

I'm six years older than Joe Biden, and I just did months of performances on stage in London, 8x a week.
Age is a state of mind and body, and Joe is just fine, as am I. It's that other guy with the orange foundation who seems feebleminded and unhealthy.
p.s. As @jherazob has just pointed out, an alternative method is to embed media from another site. You can do this by just including the link in your post, it will automatically turn into an embedded player.
For example, to include a YouTube video just include the video's link in your post. This also works with Bandcamp, PeerTube, Giphy etc.
Here's a PeerTube example:

Note that it may take a few mins for embedded players to appear, and some apps may not support them.
Juneteenth should remind us that human trafficking was legal. Slavery was legal. Jim Crow was legal. The US Govt paying reparations to white enslavers who lost their “property” but not to the formerly enslaved who lost their lives, was legal. Indeed, prison slavery is still legal today.
Do not let legality & power be your measure of morality & justice.
