I'm disappointed to read Peter Jackson is spending millions pretending you can bring an extinct species back from the past, rather than using that same money to support struggling conservation efforts working to stop living species from becoming extinct in the first place.

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.

Sanders Slams 'War Criminal' Netanyahu Ahead of New Meeting With Trump to Plan Gaza Ethnic Cleansing
The progressive senator underscored that the Israeli leader has been indicted by the International Criminal Court "for overseeing the systematic killing and starvation of civilians in Gaza."

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.
