Failed media is when a MAGA politician apparently helped his grandson get guns to kill LGBTQ people, Alito apparently leaked the Hobby Lobby decision & maybe Hobbs, & 7 mass murder shootings in 7 days—but there’s more coverage of Biden’s granddaughter getting married at the WH.🤦🏽‍♂️
@KnowledgeOoh That said - anything approaching the scale of the migrant worker death toll cited in the video (thousands) is a travesty. My industrial age example, for the Brooklyn Bridge, the upper death toll estimates are in the 30s. A better example might be the Transcontinental Railroad's death toll (estimated to be 1,000 to 1,500), so for Qatar, we're talking a death toll that exceeds that of the most deadly construction projects ever recorded.

@KnowledgeOoh No doubt re: high quality of reporting. I haven't personally seen a proper piece of investigative journalism native to the YouTube format not from a traditional news outlet.

Re: the abuse of migrant work in the states. You don't have to look far to see similar examples in history, in terms of death toll (in New York, look up the history of the Brooklyn Bridge or other ambitiious industrial-age projects). Thank you for turning me to this modern-age example; I will explore deeper

Twitter was special. But it's time to leave

Tweets were always short-lived. Turns out Twitter was too.

As much as I'd rather not give the whole op oxygen -- I think its important to remind people who was behind Kanye's 2020 phony bid for POTUS.

This is a tactic that Republicans have used in Florida (& I'm sure other states). They place IND // 3rd Party Candidates to siphon votes from Democrats because they know they can't win anything anymore w/o cheating.

Kanye West’s 'Independent' Campaign Was Secretly Run by GOP Elites

The campaign took steps, experts say, to mask its connections to GOP operatives. That could violate federal election laws.

Musk has used "Vox populi, Vox Dei" to justify reinstating Trump on #Twiiter. But the quote is from a letter from Alcuin to the Emporer Charlemagne urging him to resist such ideas, "Nec audiendi qui solent dicere, Vox populi, vox Dei, quum tumultuositas vulgi semper insaniae proxima sit." Which translates as "And do not listen to those who keep saying, 'The voice of the people is the voice of God', because the tumult of the crowd is always close to madness."
@Gargron Y’all are really rising to the occasion 🙂
@ruud @FandaSidak I'm sure you've discovered it at this point, but incase you have not: setting `max_db_connections` in pgbouncer.ini to just under whatever `max_connections` is set on pg will keep the # of connections to the database via pgBouncer under the appropriate maximum
