"When news becomes an extension of political and corporate power, democracy loses its immune system. The Fourth Estate collapses. And disinformation rules.
This is what happens when billionaires control information. They decide what you see, what you don’t, who becomes a villain, who gets rehabilitated, and whose death is worth remembering"

WOW. That's a whole lot of Binary Bulbs...
I wonder if they’ll liquidate it? Can they during a shutdown? Can they in any reasonable amount of time without triggering a crash?
Will Trump & Bessent GAF about what's legal, cash it out, and use it to buy the hottest teens out of ICE custody for a "Remembering Jeffery" party in the new "Ballroom?"
WHY WOULD I EVEN THINK THAT????

Drawing from a training with the Climate Psychology Alliance, I've been reflecting on the role of changemakers in our world.
Before, I saw activists as Sisyphus, straining to push the world uphill.
But what if we saw them as keeping the world steady?

Fundamentally, mastodon (and twitter, bluesky, etc etc) doesn't really work for me. I'm just remembering the sense of confusion when I first joined twitter - the idea that you subscribe to a feed of everything that someone says, and not to topics or threads is just a bit bonkers. It must sort people into groups with weird niche common collections of interests. I've tried running more than one account for different interests but it doesn't really work for me.
yeah, remembering stuff from the past is always something, innit
Here's my latest Human Meme podcast about memory and remembering:
#memory
When Corgan wrote 1979, he managed to tap the same panchronic nostalgia as Mitchell did with River or Waters did with Time.
Every time I listen to it: 😭
Remembering when I was 12, remembering when I was 29, remembering when I was 50.
René And Georgette Magritte With Their Dog After The War.
Just imagine waking up at midnight and remembering you have an actual 'Human Skeleton' under your bed that belonged to an actual human 💀
Just randomly remembering the time Charlie Kirk was asked at one of his college talks if the obvious Nazi salute Elon Musk did was a Nazi salute but then refuses to mimic the Nazi salute that Elon Musk obviously did.

One day, I might sit in my local cafe,
caught up in angst,
trying to find euphemisms to explain to my children the wherefores and whys of it all.
Perhaps, one day, to sit in silence and think of nothing will no longer be ease but an act of defiance
— of remembering what it means to belong to a world once rooted in continuity again.
What kind of world allows a family to sit in a parlour and think of nothing?
What kind of world might let them look through …
I couldn't agree more.
"This summer the bunting came out. It felt cheap and vulgar. We were remembering winning a war, not why it had been fought"
"I heard raw fury at President Trump for appeasing Vladimir Putin, echoing Neville Chamberlain’s yielding to Hitler."

@… yes, we are all remembering those from the past and not the present 😅
Reading this below on the 36th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and by extension the symbolic end of the GDR, the place I grew up in... with neighbors and parents of classmates belonging to the Stasi (east German secret police), the fear my own parents might be disappeared — years later seeing the thickness of the files of surveillance materials the state/stasi had collected on my family... remembering early autumn 1989, joining friends protesting in the streets every Monday after …

It's worth remembering that the civil war was a slave revolt:

Remembering last fall when I visited war-torn Portland, Ore.

@… I think a lot of people, including me, struggle with remembering that people in positions of authority (successful people in your field, management, elderly people, your mother) are not their superiors.
Thinking about the NIRS data centre fire in Korea, and remembering that (back when I dealt with physical servers) you tried to avoid racking important disk servers directly over the UPS, even though they were heavy, because of the knowledge that UPSes will occasionally explode.
GDAL internals frustration: is there a spatial reference equivalent to EPSG:4326 in every way, except that it does not require remembering to SetAxisMappingStrategy(osgeo.osr.OAMS_TRADITIONAL_GIS_ORDER) ?
"OOP grew dramatically during the decade between 1985 and 95. The first OOPSLA Conf was held in '86, chaired by Daniel Ingalls of Smalltalk fame. Bjarne Stroustrup released the first versions of C . Brad Cox melted Smalltalk on top of C and created Objective-C. Bertrand Meyer released both Eiffel and his bestseller book. Borland added OOP support to Turbo Pascal 5.5. Famous groups like “The Three Amigos,” “The Gang of Four,” and the Agile movement coalesced around OOP."

I'm so bad at remembering what TV I am currently watching I built my own site with a perfect view in to what I am currently watching.

It's also easy to imagine that Trump is sending his military to Portland. People forget that the military is actually really big and pretty complex.
Most people join the military because they want to get out of poverty. Some people join because they believe in it. A lot of people are just too young to have any kind of politics, but some of them do develop politics in the military... and some of those folks become anarchists.
There are Nazis in the military. It's a big problem. But there are also anarchists who signed up before they developed a critique of the state, and now they're kind of stuck for a few years until they can get out.
It's also worth recognizing that a lot of people join after they graduate. Basic training is like 22 weeks. So, assuming a random selection, there really aren't a lot of folks who would be deploying to PDX who would have joined under Trump. That's just assuming a random selection, and there may be other things at play that I'm not aware of, but the majority of the types of folks who would get deployed now would have joined under Biden.
The troops who will deploy (if they do deploy) may very much not want to be there. These are also not monsters wanting to kill (like Trump wishes them to be). They're kids from nearby towns. That's not awesome, most of Oregon has absolute shit politics. But joining the National Guard doesn't necessarily mean that a person has any politics at all. All of this is worth remembering.
