Always on the hunt for quality interaction. Joined Mastodon because it doesn't run a model of engagement that requires an ever increasing spiral of hate.
Really enjoy the quality of information I pick up here.

josh buermannCory Allen McKay has "a three-decade record of violent crime that includes strangling a pregnant woman" and "was scheduled to stand trial next month on methamphetamine trafficking charges that could have locked him up for 25 years" but "the number of assistant U.S. attorneys in Minnesota has fallen from more than 40 prosecutors before Trump retook office to fewer than two dozen", so Pam Bondi has set him free.

Don MoynihanIf you think doxxing is a problem, lets talk about ICE/CBP seemingly have software to automate doxxing, accessing private records of the public without adequate justification, and then turning up at the homes of observers to intimidate them.

Electronic Frontier FoundationEFF intervened in a lawsuit last year to force government contractor Pen-Link to disclose the prices and descriptions of surveillance products that it sold to a local California Sheriff's office. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/08/victory-pen-links-police-tools-are-not-secret

One out of 12 rams (male sheep) is uninterested in females and prefers the company of males. They are deemed ânon-procreativeâ (worthless to a farmer) and sent to slaughter. So this German farmer, Michael StĂźcke, rescues the gay rams and forms the company Rainbow Wool, selling wool from the gay sheep. Collaboration between Rainbow Wool and Grindr resulted in a fashion show called I Wool Survive. It featured 36 unique looks by designer Michael Schmidt, made entirely from the wool of the gay sheep, and celebrating queer identity through knitted and crocheted archetypes like Fireman, Sailor, Jock, Daddy and more. Proceeds from sales went to LGBTQA charitable organizations.
In a culture of Stephen Miller and Peter Thiel, be a Michael StĂźcke or a Michael Schmidt. Make art, make beautiful things, make people laugh, promote inclusivity, promote fabulousness- and find a way to accept whatever you consider âuseless sheep.â Maybe instead of killing them, help them become Rainbow Wool. RESIST. And do it in style, if you can.

Todayâs order means Judge Immergutâs TRO remains in effect for now.
Zack WhittakerOh wow. EFF is suing the Trump administration over the government's use of social media surveillance targeting legal residents and visa-holders. EFF says the government program "surveils the social media accounts of visa holders with the goal of identifying and punishing those who express viewpoints the government doesn't like."
