Hello?

#Republicans have been ‘complicit’ in the #TrumpRussiaCollusion causing #AmericanCarnage (as well as #carnage and even #genocide around the globe) on-and-off since cowards like Mitch McConnell in #Kentucky and Lamar Alexander in #Tennessee failed to conduct an impeachment trial of #Trump in the Senate - with testimony by witnesses - after his first*#impeachment in 2019!! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_…

Gloom, despair, and agony on me Deep, dark depression, excessive misery If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all Gloom, despair, and agony on me…” — Buck Owens and Roy Clark

This catchy jingle, Gloom, Despair, and Agony on Me, has been bouncing around in my head this morning. If you don’t recognize it, it’s a classic tune from the variety show Hee Haw, which aired from 1969 to 1992. I tuned in occasionally, though it was never a favorite of mine—too corny, like a whole show full of grandpa jokes. But this song? Pure genius. A classic, right up there with Bach and Chopin.

"You might be a redneck if you have every episode of Hee Haw on tape." - Jeff Foxworthy

Schlimm?

Nein! Das ist unser Rechtssystem: Ohne Beweise dürfen die Ermittler glauben und denken, was sie wollen. Ohne Beweise ist das halt deren Privatproblem.

Das Bild zeigt eine "MISSING CHILD" Flyer mit dem Titel "Have you seen this child?" und dem Namen "Madeleine McCann." Auf dem Flyer sind drei Fotos von Madeleine McCann zu sehen, die in verschiedenen Outfits und Situationen dargestellt sind. Der Hintergrund des Flyers ist weiß, und die Texte sind in roter und schwarzer Schrift gehalten.

Rechts neben dem Flyer befindet sich ein Text, der einen Podcast namens "Am Abgrund" erwähnt. Der Titel des Podcasts ist "Der Hauptverdächtige," und der Text beschreibt, dass Christian B. im Gefängnis sitzt und in wenigen Monaten freikommen könnte. Es wird erwähnt, dass die Ermittler sicher sind, dass er der Mörder der vermissten Madeleine McCann ist. Der Text ist in deutscher Sprache und stammt von SZPlus.

Der Hintergrund des Flyers ist ein metallisch blauer, gefalteter Material, das eine düstere und ernste Atmosphäre vermittelt.

Mastodon: Giving Journalists Options Away From Big Tech


Mastodon’s work to highlight their platform to journalists led to the opportunity to host an aperitivo, with special guests Save Social, at the International Journalism Festival (April 9th – 13th, 2025) in Perugia, Italy.

IJF brings together people from across the news industry to talk about the issues they face and celebrate the work they are doing. This year, Big Tech was one of the topics that dominated the panel discussions.

Bonjourno Mastodon

Mastodon, represented by Andy Piper, Head of Communications, Felix Hlatky, CFO, and Philip Schröpel, Head of Staff, brought together supporters of the open social web, Big Tech-disbelievers, and curious locals to a small bar nestled in the old walls of Perugia.

Understanding that many in the audience were unfamiliar with Mastodon, Piper introduced the social platform to the room, highlighting the benefits for journalists. This included the work to highlight article authors, using the byline feature that rolled out in July last year, and emphasis on the value of links to external publications.

Mastodon promised new tools to track referrals through links would be rolling out across the network soon but were already live on mastodon.social – the server run by the Mastodon team.

Looking Ahead


Hlatky spoke of Mastodon’s future as an organisation and their ongoing work to transition from a German gGmbH to a new European nonprofit. He acknowledged internal work to restructure and remove single ownership from Mastodon claiming, “No one gives you money if one owner can run away with it.”

There was a strong message that Mastodon wanted what is best for their users, rather than their pockets. A stark contrast to the Big Tech platforms that had been discussed across the Festival.

To echo the sentiment, Mastodon then invited Björn Staschen from Save Social to speak.

Save Social

Save Social is a predominantly German-speaking effort to turn away from Big Tech social media platforms and strengthen alternatives. In less than three months, their petition has reached 200,000 signatures.

“We, as a society, have to be part of the solution,” said Staschen. “We want to strengthen alternative platforms. Ensure freedom of expression by creating diversity and transparency.”

Converting Attendees


When it came to joining Mastodon, Schröpel admitted there are “multiple ways”, but that the Mastodon team are able to support individuals and organisations in setting up their own instance or offer advice on the network.

However, joining the platform continues to be a barrier for many users. A group of Italian women who attended the event abandoned their short effort to join the platform half-way into the presentation, confused about where to go and which app to use.

Alongside presenting Mastodon as an alternative platform, the aperitivo offered one of the only opportunities to take tangible action against Big Tech at IJF – attracting doers, rather than the commentators that lined the panels of the main event.

Wrapping Up


“There’s a mix of people in this room right now with the same instincts we have to save democracy,” Piper said in his closing remark, encouraging collaboration and action.

Based on the panels at IJF 2025, journalists are more worried than ever about the role they play in democracy. Witnessing the actions of the White House, many journalists are now calling for an “EU alternative” to Big Tech platforms.

Mastodon now has the opportunity to present themselves as the EU alternative and help journalists protect democracy.

Das Bild zeigt eine fantastische Szene mit einem glitzernden Pinguin, der bis zu den Schultern im Wasser steht. Der Pinguin hat ein blau-goldenes Gefieder, das an Sternen erinnert, und einen orangefarbenen Schnabel. Er steht in einem ruhigen Gewässer, umgeben von rosa Blüten, die auf den Steinen und im Wasser liegen. Im Hintergrund ist eine große, goldene Mond, die den Himmel erhellt, und Bäume mit zarten rosa Blüten. Ein verschwommener Mann im Hintergrund geht entlang einer beleuchteten Straße, die von warmen Lichtern gesäumt ist. Die gesamte Szene ist in einem mystischen, winterlichen Ambiente gehalten, mit einem Hauch von Magie und Schönheit.

It's like a scene from "The Antiques Roadshow." In 1946, Harvard Law School paid $27.50 for what it believed to be an unofficial copy of the Magna Carta. Two medieval history experts analyzed it and have concluded that it's actually the real deal: A rare, lost original Magna Carta from 1300 (the reign of King Edward I) that could be worth millions. Here's more from @BBCNews.

@bestiaexmachina sadly not as well as I was hoping anymore^^'

Due to library incompatibilies, which we noticed way too late, we had to add another arduino. This in turn pushed our power source to its limit, forcing us to add an additional 9v battery. And now he's too heavy and only makes micro jumps. :.D

I need to make better photos tomorrow but on its back are another 2 powerhungry servos, opening and closing a 3rd "magical" eye/orb. I'm still surprised it works at all. xD

The image shows a small, fluffy dog with long, shaggy fur walking on a gray tiled patio. The dog is positioned in the center of the image, facing away from the camera, with its tail raised. The tiles are square and arranged in a grid pattern, with some grass growing in the gaps. The dog's shadow is cast on the ground, indicating a strong light source, likely the sun. In the background, there are two objects: a wooden planter box on the left and a wicker chair on the right. The lighting suggests it is a sunny day, with the sun casting a sharp shadow of the dog on the ground.

Interestingly enough, the narrative where I live has shifted from "These lazy Ausländer take all our jobs" to "These damn educated tech folks can afford much nicer homes and are driving up the prices, which WE locals can't afford".
in reply to Linguist Gone Foreign 🌏

Who would have thought, that education leads to better income? 🤦‍♂️

But it's not the foreigners that are driving up prices. It's the Germans themselves. It's just that the educated tech folks can still afford paying those (and often have to because they don't have the network to get the cheap homes).
