European Parliament just decided that Chat Control 1.0 must stop.
This means on April 6, 2026, Gmail, LinkedIn, Microsoft and other Big Techs must stop scanning your private messages in the EU. #PrivacyWins 💪
I've had 20 sign ups to my Mastodon server in the past 48 hours, and 100% of them have been scammers, phishers and SEO spammers.
I make an effort to go in and suspend the accounts, nobody ever protests the suspension.
The fediverse is at a crossroads, the user base is dwindling and the new users are mostly just SEO spam accounts.
It's been a few years since I drew this. I still stand by it.
I was surprised to see that Trump's outspoken advisor Stephen Miller had not worded a single post in support of Trump's Iran war. So I took a look back to see what he had posted during the election campaign.
Whoops.
So to recap:
•Trump illegally bombed Iran.
•Iran responded by closing the Straight of Hormuz, thus spiking oil prices.
•Trump is now responding by lifting sanctions on Iranian oil, thus funding the regime he's bombing—all as the Straight of Hormuz remains closed.
So in short, Trump bombed Iran, raised oil prices for Americans, and gave Iran more money. Masterful gambit by the author of the Art of the Deal.
Are we great yet?
