He has seen his birth and death many times, he says, and pays random visits to all the events in between.

  • Tumblr and Wordpress to Sell Users’ Data to Train AI Tools

  • The obvious difference being my/others mastodon posts aren't showing up on wordpress and being monetized. One way federation to masto doesn't matter bc it isn't data farming / putting ads on masto content.

  • Tumblr and Wordpress to Sell Users’ Data to Train AI Tools

    Jump

  • Yeah I've seen almost no movement against Tumblr while everyone got very riled up about Meta federation ie fedipact, probably a blindspot bc users have positive associations with tumblr, but it's still an ad/data company all the same.

  • US Soldier Sets Himself on Fire outside Israeli Embassy in Washington to Protest Gaza War

    Jump

  • It's a bit of a beleaguered point, but it's very telling that this will assuredly get almost no coverage on big news networks like abc, cbs, fox, etc. and virtually no coverage in the larger papers like the NYT, sure the press agencies like Reuters and the AP will cover it and then redistributors like your source will publish this, but little thought among the media class/commentariet will be given to the man who decided there was so little hope of being able to do anything through legal/electoral means to stop a genocide that he could no longer stand idly by and had to do something to protest the sheer inhumanity of what's going on. Barely anyone probably still remembers the person who did the same thing and died in 2022 on earth day protesting inaction on climate change/destruction, that story was absolutely buried. I don't support any kind of self harm, but doing something as drastic as this requires a pretty compelling reason, most people remember Tibetan monks doing the same thing, but the same importance was not extended to that person in 2022 and will almost definitely not be extended to this person now. I may end up being wrong, but I expect this to be out of the news cycle/discourse in days at most.

  • Yeah like is the New York Times in the room with us right now? God forbid the US officials/media are hypocrites, anything but hypocrisy! Just an excuse to not engage with the article.

  • Trump will pull US out of NATO if he wins election, ex-adviser warns

    Jump

  • There is no such thing as the "North Atlantic" it is a nonsensical organization, there is no logical reason for the US and Canada to be in a millitary alliance based on the made up polity of the "North Atlantic", not saying that European countries shouldn't care about regional defense, but that has nothing to do with the US or Canada. Nato is just an excuse for the US to park it's nukes and bases in Europe and extend it's millitary power, no one needs nukes, and people especially don't need foreign nukes in their country.

    edit: also Trump would never pull out of NATO, the farthest he would ever go is threaten and then coerce European countries pay more of a share of the budget and say he made a "better deal", but he's quite obviously bluffing

  • I'm mostly hoping that the few accounts I follow that are basically only on twitter and facebook eventually open an account on bluesky or even better mastodon so I can follow them with RSS, but that will probably take a while so I see your point.

  • Aren't they all gonna be defunct by the end of the month with Elon's changes to guest accounts or did I not understand the earlier posts about that correctly.

  • Tucker Carlson Could Face Sanctions Over Putin Interview

    Jump

  • I doubt anything will come of this, it's just an interview, probably just some big talk from people in EU parliament, I guess Russia did the exact same thing when they sanctioned Sean Penn and Ben Stiller, but I would be surprised if the EU stoops to that level, it's frankly petty to target private citizens doing media stuff regardless of what it is or how much you disagree with it.

    "I beg you to hear his side of the story"

    Jump

  • That's pretty unlikely unless he's doing a big pivot in his branding, he quite literally has said the US should team up with Russia to fight/oppose China.

    Carlson’s dissenting line on Ukraine policy has to be understood in light of his obsession with fighting China. As he outlined back in 2019, his dim view of Washington’s Russia strategy came from the fact that he viewed China, not Russia, as “our main enemy,” and that “the United States ought to be in a relationship with Russia aligned against China to the extent that we can.”

    He reiterated this point three years later: because “China is the preeminent threat to the United States,” and because it’s impossible “to engage meaningfully simultaneously in Europe and in Asia,” the US focus on Ukraine only “detracts from our attention to China,” while at the same time pushing Moscow “into an alliance of convenience of necessity with the Chinese government.”

  • Let's be honest they aren't risking any response from the US by doing this.

  • Ukrainian-born model wins Miss Japan 2024, sparks identity controversy

    Jump

  • Obviously a very progressive/inclusive decision, this person is as Japanese as living in Japan for 20 years can get you, the "controversy" is ridiculous and quite frankly racist, would be like if someone an ethincally Asian UK citizen won miss UK and then got accused of pushing an Eastern standard of beauty in an ethnically Anglo-Celtic-etc nation.

    You have to be such a asshole to read

    “I’ve had to face barriers that often prevent me from being accepted as Japanese, so I am filled with gratitude to be recognized at this competition as a Japanese person,” she said.

    And then comment it's kinda fucked up she won this contest (as literally the first naturilzed person to do so) they should have given it to someone ethnically Japanese etc etc.
