The Israeli army is the “most degenerate on earth” ~Francesca Albanese

"Its practices have crossed all red lines & violated international law.... I've seen enough to say it with absolute certainty: the Israeli army is the most degenerate army.”

"Albanese has been subjected to a widespread incitement campaign & direct death threats since submitting an official report accusing Israel of committing genocide in the Gaza Strip."

Substack promoted Andrew Tate as their #1 "bestseller" last week. Cool company. Great leadership.

So I went ahead and made a browser extension.

Kill Yr Substack intercepts every Substack link (even on custom domains) and redirects it to `archive.is`.

Substack's numbers go down. You still get to read the thing tho.

This is some mind-blowing science here: the engine propelling bacteria - a complex structure made of molecules, powered by protons.

In the world's least surprising internal memo leak: Microsoft To Shift GitHub Copilot Users To Token-Based Billing, Tighten Rate Limits

Exclusive: Microsoft To Shift GitHub Copilot Users To Token-Based Billing, Tighten Rate Limits

You could scatter most of these guys to the wind with a few well aimed audits and prosecutions, but that would hurt rich white supremacists' feelings so of course Democrats won't do it.

THIS so much! 💯

“Typically, right now, what’s available for them is social skills training,” Smith said. “Whereas, we’re just saying, maybe they need a space where they can come in and be themselves.”

Hellooooo to the fediverse (or at least this particular corner of it). I apologize in advance for my long overdue, long-winded, and no doubt embarrassing introduction.

My name is n0madz, and I like to read, run, listen to music, game on my pc, play around with linux (arch and hyprland btw), and generally explore what it means to express oneself in a digital fashion.

I'm a parent of one soon-to-be 4 year old (lil person runs circles around me on a regular basis); I lean to the far left politically and ideologically; I'm anti-racist, antifascist, and pro all things LGBTQIA. I'm generally disappointed in the current state of humanity (for reason of explanation I am sadly based in the US).

I'm generally piss poor at social media, by which I mean I lurk WAY more than I post (if this was radio, I'd be a first time caller, long time listener), but I'm making a promise to myself to try and do better (only time will tell).

Socially-wise, I used to be on the fediverse, self-hosted on a very smol corner of the interweb called wzrds.fun (RIP), and I had an alt account here in social.lol. For one reason or another, those accounts were closed and wzrds.fun shut down.

All that being said, I found that out of all the social media platforms I've tried and lost interest in, I missed my time in the fediverse, so here I am reborn and resurrected once again.

If you made it this far, (1) well done and thank you for sticking with me! and (2) please boost, favorite, and/or follow (I'll gladly follow you back as I rebuild my algo). I also strongly encourage and appreciate any and all recommendations.

P.S., you can also find me on bookwyrm (another one of my alt's that has been active without interruption, I love a good book). -> @[email protected]

Major alarm bells over this. Bessent wants US banks to require customers send in copies of their passports etc. to prove citizenship, which would be far beyond the know-your-customer checks that they're required to do already. Implies this could result in closing bank accounts over non-compliance.
