Today we are calling on institutions around the world to take control of their #digitalsovereignty , including their social accounts. Governments should communicate directly with their citizens on open platforms, not through the mouthpiece of a corporation.

I just donated and learned that my O- blood is also CMC Negative meaning it goes straight to a neo-natal unit for babies. That’s made my day.
I hate needles and never watch but it’s super easy, quick and might makes someone’s world a tiny bit better. #GiveBlood
“Without immigration, there will, within a number of generations, be no Europe and no United Kingdom.”
Not the case for me in the uk currently.

Cory Doctorow’s new book “Enshittification: why the world suuddenly got worse and what to do about it” on a wooden table next to a mug of tea.
Been waiting for this - yay! @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy Cory Docotorow’s #Enshittification - thank you bookshop.org
Thank you brother Franz, I thought I'd backed this on Kickstarter but nope, I'm hoping it'll will be out in time for my classes this year.
Paging @jonathanworth.bsky.social 🙂
Instead of stating simply that this is illegal, this story walks through the entire process of turning a gifted plane into Air Force One, as if the thing readers need to know about a bank robbery is the ins and outs of how the thieves plan to launder the money.
Hope the translation is accurate - this is great if so.
Get em lad!
My grandad would say “it was shortness of breath he died of”
Me: “”really?”
Grandad: “yes. He stopped breathing”
#FormativeLogic
Shortness of breath.
Gets everyone in the end.

Watching www.channel4.com/programmes/s... and learning that flowers without pollen are a leap forward. Surely there’s an evolutionary oversight at play here - but meh Denise Van Outen was great on Big Breakfast.
Berk is rhyming slang shortened from “Berkeley Hunt”. #factoid

A comics page in black and white. Arranged in 5 tiers of panels, each with successively smaller panels and more per row - with the exception of the first. Opens with no panel border - silhouette of a hand in a gun position - with smoke coming from index finger. speech balloon “i could stand in the middle of fifth avenue and shoot somebody and i wouldn’t lose any voters, ok?” Caption “this is perhaps the most truthful thing trump has ever said…” Same row - more than half page width panel with three drawings of trump making jerky body distortions mocking cerebral palsy. Caption “one might’ve assumed when he mocked reporter serge kovaleski that it would cross a line and be the end of him in public life.” Speech balloon “now the poor guy, you ought to see this guy!” Caption “that was naive.” Next row, first panel, slightly more than page width - closeup on trump’s open mouth, shouting “when you’re a star, they let you do it. you can do anything. Grab ‘em by the pussy. you can do anything.” Caption “surely, there’d be no coming back from this?” Second panel - silhouettes of tiki torch carrying rioters with their shirt collars showing. Caption “or this?” Dialogue “you also had some very fine people on both sides.” Caption “and yet…” Third row - three panels, first slightly more than a third, rest smaller still. Silhouette of trump throwing a paper towel roll like shooting a basketball. Dialogue “a great day…” Caption “c’mon…”. Second panel closeup on his lips, dialogue “why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” Caption “really?” Third panel closeup on a coiled-style phone cord, dialogue “i would like you to do us a favor, though.” In background words from the first articles of impeachment for high crimes and misdemeanors. Dialogue “the call with ukraine was perfect, with “no pressure.” full alt-text on my site at the link
I made a comic on how we got here & trump/supporters - collecting things he's said that would seem to have been over the line - and how that never seems to be the case is the real problem...

But about that … I just backed "This Una smartwatch can be taken apart like LEGO and repaired at home"

Wonder when we’ll really be ready for the cost of ‘home grown’ and hopefully, ethically produced tech.
Hahahahaha #classicBeavers
