Politics
Reminder: Capitalism is not our friend.
As friends of capitalism; the police, military, & politicians, will never be our friends.
Capitalism indoctrinates us into thinking that 'Everything should be run like a Business', & then we wonder why everything is lethal, abusive, dying, & on fire.
*Business has no interest in stopping toxicity, keeping things not on fire, keeping any living thing alive, or being kind.*
Business is about profit. In ALL things, it's about Property & Profit.
Something a bit different today...
There's a really nice Fediverse admin on here called @stux who provides lots of free decentralised public services (public instances of Mastodon, PeerTube, Pixelfed, Matrix, Nitter, Invidious, Searx etc).
Stux is spending hundreds of euros a month so that these services remain free and operational.
Apparently Stux has had a tough time finding work recently, but has their own small business which provides web hosting.
If you're looking for a small indie hosting provider, this might be a really good choice as the money raised will help keep the Fedi going too:
(I'm sorry to embarass you Stux, but I think you deserve a shout-out for the good work you do!)
Our brains are so strange man. Saturday night I was lying in bed downloading some music to my phone for my early morning flight. I was downloading some older albums that I hadn't listened to in a long time. There was a song that sort of popped into my head, but I couldn't quite get it. It was like I knew what it was but I couldn't remember the band or song name or any of the lyrics. Just woke up at 254am in the hotel here and I went, it was Sponge - 16 Candles. And now I can't fall back asleep.

Trying to find another #CBD supplement for my Zoe that doesn’t break the bank.
Dog owners, do you have a favorite? We’ve been using ellevet for years, but … it’s effing expensive for the dosage she needs. #dogsofmastadon
I legit thought this was just some kid working there goofing off with this sign. Now I see they have a new line of prime rib based offerings.
It's been so long since I listened to Helmets Meantime. I kind of forgot what an incredible album that is.

Appreciator of most things.
Hater of few things.
Laid back progressive type socially.
Anarchist at heart, but more like a socialist under the current reality I live under politically.
