A healthy (in body and mind),
active, frugal, sociable, mostly offline citizen
who is highly educated and informed, in full control of their data, avoiding Big Tech’s platforms and algorithms,
with a positive self-esteem and self-image,
is probably persona non grata for the tech billionaires.
But a small, insignificant nuisance, like a fly
– they don’t care about ONE.
But imagine having thousands,
then hundreds of thousands,
then millio…

A new way to describe the Fediverse and its opposition to Big Tech
I may have finally found a compelling, accessible way to describe the Fediverse - and make it appealing to people not familiar with it.

Bin mir ziemlich sicher, dass die Brocki-Rolle im #Friesland -Krimi Felix Vörtler mehr Spaß macht als der Vorgesetzte im #Polizeiruf110

Manchmal denke ich, dass Menschen tatsächlich etwas asozial (im eigentlichen Sinne) sind. Oder partout nicht mitdenken.
Im Theater neulich war in den Reihen vor mir in der Mitte jeweils ein einzelner Platz frei.
Klar, als ich mich setzte und da auf den Sitzen schon zwei Jacken lagen, war mein erster Impuls ebenfalls, einen Platz dazwischen freizulassen. Ich habs nicht getan.
Denn freie Einzelplätze bedeuten ja, dass Leute, die später paarweise ankommen, nicht nebeneinander…

Many local Republican elites have been quietly resisting the MAGA-fication of their party,
even in the heart of Trump country.
But that resistance is increasingly fragile
— and it may not hold out much longer.
If the old guard is driven out of the party once and for all,
many Americans will eventually confront an unexpected legacy of Trump’s revolution:

Opinion | If Trump’s Allies Win, Red State Governance Will Look Just Like D.C. Chaos
Old guard Republicans have maintained good governance in many red states, but MAGA chaos is coming for them, too.

One hundred and ninety-three million acres of your national forests. An area larger than Texas. The largest public land agency in the country. Just handed, on a silver platter, to the people who’ve spent their entire careers trying to destroy it.
And they did it with a press release on a Tuesday

Late Tuesday afternoon, with the subtlety of a wrecking ball and the morality of a foreclosure notice, the Trump administration announced the most devastating attack on the U.S. Forest Service in the agency’s 121-year history. Not a budget cut. Not a policy shift. Not a “reorganization.” An execution.
