'An Arsenal of Profiteering': Military Contractors Have Gotten Over Half of Pentagon Spending Since 2020

US | In 'Serious Blow to Our Democracy,' Supreme Court Allows Trump Mass Firing Order
The U.S. Supreme Court lifted a block on U.S. President Donald Trump's February executive order directing federal agency leaders to craft plans to gut the government—a decision blasted by one liberal justice and a coalition of labor unions, local governments, and nonprofits.

This is a really great read by the @bonfire team. As someone who has done all kinds of experiments with long-form articles and publishing directly on the #Fediverse, there are a number of headaches and hurdles we still need to figure out.
My overall philosophy is this: rather than adapting existing content management systems to use ActivityPub federation, it’s preferable to build a CMS for the Fediverse, with explicit considerations for how the instance and the network should interact with each other. Everything, from the dashboard to side-effects of interaction, should be designed with federation considerations in mind.

Make no mistake, I really love what Ghost is doing with publishing. I’m a happy customer, and intend to stay there for the time being. But Ghost’s current ActivityPub offering is ultimately very limited, even when compared to Mastodon.
I think Bonfire could provide the building blocks to make something similar to Ghost, but with a far more robust amount of features under the hood.

@ozoned The way I understand Bonfire, it’s almost like a framework for building different Fediverse apps using modular pieces. It can almost be understood as being like Ruby on Rails, but for Fediverse applications that can all be wildly different.
Not a perfect analogy, but their “Apps” are almost like distributions built on top of the core framework. There’s a lot of cool things that could be built with this.
Yeah, I was hoping Ghost would develop a full micro-blogging tool in addition to its regular blog/newsletter, but now I'm not sure it's going to happen. Which is sad.
And yes, I've been testing Bonfire on their demo instance and it's quite impressive. I hope to be able to have an actual account soon.

David Suzuki says we lost the fight for climate, says things are going to get a lot harder, that now is the time to prepare, and to do this together:
"For me, what we’ve got to do now is hunker down. The units of survival are going to be local communities, so I’m urging local communities to get together."

in reply to This spaceship does not exist • • •The image depicts a futuristic scene with two astronauts in orange and white space suits walking on a grassy path. They are heading towards a large, imposing structure with a distinctive "H" shape, painted in shades of orange and gray. The structure appears to be part of a larger complex, with additional buildings and a flying vehicle visible in the background. The sky is a clear blue, and the landscape is dotted with greenery and wildflowers. The astronauts' suits are equipped with backpacks, and they are wearing white helmets. The scene is set in a vast, open area with a hazy atmosphere, suggesting a distant or otherworldly location.
