Iceland approved the 4-day workweek in 2019: nearly 6 years later, all the predictions made have come true.
In 2019, Iceland made headlines by becoming one of the first countries in the world to adopt the four-day working week, not through a general law, but through agreements allowing workers to negotiate shorter weeks or reduced hours.farmingdale-observer.com

The Daily Mail went all-out for the 1906 general election, illuminating London's skyline with searchlights which spelled out election returns in morse code, and colour-coded rockets to tell watchers which party had won a seat.
It also put on special trains, messengers in theatres, and deployed 'bio-scope' displays which used magic lanterns to project results.
The election lasted two weeks; I expect people were a bit tired of it by the end.

The #mainstreaming of the #Fediverse is happening. You can see it in many “progressive” info flows, where the chattering classes of tech – academics, #NGO staffers, consultants, and developers with foundations or startup ties – gather to shape the narrative. On the surface, this looks like success: the native grassroots #openweb is being taken seriously. But look a little deeper, and the cracks start to show.
These are the #friendlyenemy – people who share some values, but whose institutional positions and funding streams push them toward compromise. On a good day, they’re allies. On a bad day, they become gatekeepers, smoothing out the radical edge of the #Fediverse in favour of comfort, control, and incrementalism.
You can smell the vertical path creeping in – softly, but persistently. Some voices are given more weight than others. Those who have access to money, credentials, or “platform” get to define the agenda. Those who don’t are politely sidelined. This inequality, dressed up in professional polish and well-meaning governance processes, is not native to the #openweb – it belongs to the broader culture of common sense #neoliberalism that says, quietly but firmly, “power follows money.”
One of the central issues here is signal-to-noise. These folks will acknowledge it if you ask, that real community voices are harder to hear, that grassroots actors are often overlooked, but in practice, they do little to shift the balance. The very structures they rely on (panels, funding calls, curated spaces) reproduce the same inequalities we’re trying to escape.
The “chattering classes” are not a new problem. In every progressive movement, there is a class of well-spoken, well-educated, well-funded individuals who dominate discourse without doing much of the risky, grounded work needed for real change. They often co-opt language, soften radical ideas, and set up systems that make it harder – not easier – for grassroots actors to lead.
So where do we go from here? We don’t reject these people outright, they are part of the mess we must compost. But we do challenge the structures that elevate them above others. We remember that the #Fediverse was born from messy, volunteer-driven experiments, not corporate playbooks. We prioritize horizontal spaces, open governance, and trust-based collaboration. And we keep building the #OMN and other alternative structures that reflect these principles natively, not as afterthoughts.
If we don’t, the #openweb becomes just another place where a different few speak for the many, and we lose the path in #NGO mess and the chance to build something genuinely “native”. What we don’t need is more non-native paths, please, we have enough #techshit to compost already. We do need ideas on how to communicate this to the people who need to hear?

Suddenly the people who wrote the same of Biden have an issue with it being said about musk/45. It seems patel is unserious: nothing additional has been said publicly about the attempt on musk/45 that grazed his now unscarred ear, but shells on the beach are a critical issue for him? Seems…uneven.

The #mainstreaming of the #Fediverse and is "working" chattering classes youtube.com/watch?v=cVnrMGVKQa… on a negative note these are the #friendlyenemy, on a positive sense we are all in this together.
But a strong smell of the vertical path - some are more together than others, and money is the currency of this difference.
This is not native to the #openweb, but more to our "common sense" paths.
There is a signal-to-noise issue, which if you ask them they will admit, but then in practice ignore.
"Chattering classes" are a problem group in progressive movements.

A imagem mostra uma janela de madeira em um edifício com paredes brancas. A janela é dividida em seis painéis de vidro, com molduras brancas que estão desgastadas e descascadas, revelando a madeira por baixo. A pintura branca está desbotada e há rachaduras no vidro, indicando que a janela está em estado de deterioração. A moldura da janela é preta, contrastando com o branco da parede. Acima da janela, há telhas de barro vermelho, típicas de construções rurais ou tradicionais. Uma linha de fiação elétrica está presa à parede, passando ao lado da janela. A parede ao redor da janela também apresenta sinais de desgaste, com manchas e áreas onde a pintura está descascada. O céu azul claro é visível no topo da imagem, sugerindo um dia ensolarado.

I think it’s unlikely, meaning less than 50%. It’s very obvious bullshit and would require an unusually hacky magistrate judge to approve the complaint. I guess they could show-arrest him without a warrant and then try for one and fail.

Don't want this to happen? Vote for a left wing party in your area or nationally. Change won't be immediate, but every vote counts. The right wingers are friends of business and unfettered capitalism. They will let this happen time and time again.
Sure, the anticapitalists won't be anticapitalistic. That's just an excuse not to vote "they're both the same", then wonder why right wingers keep driving countries closer to the cliff edge.

The image features a cartoon character resembling SpongeBob SquarePants, standing in a field filled with numerous skulls. The character has a large, curly afro hairstyle, wide eyes, and an open mouth, displaying a surprised or shocked expression. SpongeBob is wearing a white shirt, red tie, brown shorts, and brown shoes. The background is a sky with clouds, and there are decorative swirls and symbols in the air. The field of skulls is green, and the overall color palette includes vibrant blues, yellows, and reds. The character's pose and expression suggest a reaction to the unusual setting.

Gaza: Monsieur le président, votre honte
""«C’est une honte», s’est contenté de dire, le 13 mai sur TF1, Emmanuel Macron à propos de ce que fait #Israël à #Gaza et qu’il s’est refusé à qualifier. La véritable honte, c’est de s’en tenir à ces mots et de ne rien faire pour empêcher le #génocide en cours.
