I know #Twitter #Warning, but c'mon... This kid is very cute about delivering her sharp #Satire about #YouTUBE Contributors who are on the hamster-cash-wheel. This youthful performer is at #Vidcon2019 and is going by @PugLoca on tweeter.

Oh #Snap! Yes they did! The hegemony of #Microshaft and #Google are about to get their wings clipped. The drug dealer method of addicting people to software is going to come to an end (somewhere).
YANSS 157 – The psychology behind why people don’t speak out against, and even defend, norms they secretly despise
This is an amazing #Podcast about how and why we get stuck in #GroupThink. Theirs a new buzz going around about #FreeSpeech but from the point of view of, "you're #Censoring me!" This podcast is focused on the, "why am I censoring me?" We are doing it because we don't realize that a majority of us think contrary to the incorrect conventional wisdom of the day, but we fear speaking out because we don't have evidence to support our silent dissenting thoughts are in the majority view, especially not within whatever our current social group is. People who might agree with you in private can't risk defiance of the group's thinking in public, so they will not be an ally. This makes us in aggregate doomed to stick with terrible ideas till enough catastrophy happens to the established leaders and the spell gets broken.
It hinges on the premise of the #Tower of #Babylon. If #God got his panties in a bunch over a 300-foot tall building, why not stop us from skyscrapers, space travel, Google Translate?
The show is a more playful romp than, "can God make a rock so big even he can't pick it up?"

Whitewashing History: America’s Racist Legacy From Slavery To The War On Immigrants
Before listening to this episode of Intercepted, I would like you to ponder that the #American #CivilWar was not fought by Northern States to #Free the #Slaves, it was to End #Slavery; the difference is significant. #Economically, the #North was in the #Industrial #Revolution trying to pay it's workers less, and the #South was beginning to think about running factories on slave labor. This happened before between the #European #Textile #Industry and a Dutch King who started making textiles in #Africa with slave #Labor. The #Northern #Industrialists got behind a #War with the South to protect their industries, not for #Humanitarian reasons. If it was for humanitarian reasons we would have been a lot better treatment of freed slaves in the North.
@dansup We almost know nothing about each other, so it's super rude for me to say the following (sorry to be presumptive).
You should really hear this podcast by the FT News called Tech Tonic; it's the latest episode titled "Nathan Jurgenson on social media and the selfie".
I couldn't stop thinking of you and the Pixelfed project while listening to it. You're working on the "How" to Pixelfed, but this interview toyed with the philosophy of "Why" to do photo sharing in social networking. I think you are so on the right track with your "Why" to Pixelfed, but I felt compelled to tell you about this interview.
So as to not get prejudged, I don't advocate #Suicide as a solution to a hard life, I advocate society to support its struggling members to live a meaningful happy life. Sometimes I can understand why a person checks-out though. When people are medically circling the drain, I can certainly advocate for a person deciding to end the suffering. I'm nuanced on the topic. However...

Theirs a lot of #Religious vs. #Secular arguments around #Euthanasia, but I'd like to offer an #Economic perspective. I have a natural distrust when something is clearly an intractable argument, that instances of the predicament have to be judged on a one at a time basis, but it gets #Religious people trying to front run it as if they have the answers. In the workings of my mind, these righteously indignant "do-gooders" are giving cover to #Nefarious people in power who want the same result as the religious #Zealots do but for an entirely unethical and often horrific reason.
If people are allowed to decide when they don't want to play the miserable existence game anymore, they are a type of slave to the social industrial complex which wants live bodies for economic gain. If your will to live forces you to work for food, they win and you have no power. If you can't work, they will make you live and bill your next of kin for the extension of your life that you don't want.
It always puzzles me why more people of #Faith aren't in a hurry to die; It's supposed to be wonderful after you die compared to this—at times or in places— Hell-Hole. So the church—to keep people from checking out of the serfdom life—made a decree that #Suicide sends you to #Hell. It must have been suicidal to go to war back then with the death count, but nooooooo, those early deaths were Martyrs for Jesus, so off to #Heaven for you lot.
So to me, politicians want disenfranchised people stuck in shit jobs to line the golden chalices of the wealthy people who bribe them, and the churches give politicians cover to fool the masses into going along with it. Listen to this latest #Podcast by #Austrailias #TheSignal on the topic and ask yourself if you think the real reason politicians are agreeing with the church (which molests children) because of sound moral thinking from religious texts, or nefarious economic reasons.
Today is the first day in Victoria where in certain circumstances, terminally ill people can legally end their own lives. National polling suggests there's widespread support for that change, somewhere in the order of 70 to 80 percent. So why has it only happened in one state? Is there a big disconnect between politicians and the public on this? And if so, why? Featured: Andrew Denton, Director & Founder, Go Gentle Australia
I also tried #DiCa recently. My last two posts before this one were from DiCa. It has a few things that went wrong and some things I didn't like about the interface.
I lied, unintentionally, about the hashtags. The rendering doesn't make them active in the post content, it makes the clickable word in a group below the post content.

Meanwhile, on #Fathersday in #America (or #Murka) a collection of Independent #Fundamentalist #Baptist flamethrowers descended on the anniversary of the #PulseNightclub massacre to go full #Hitler. Apparently, these deranged "Pastors" want more #LGBTQ people assassinated by random acts of unprovoked violence. For those unfamiliar with the "Stand Your Ground" laws, they were written by a well-funded Right-Wing think tank and they permit people connected to power to commit murder in an altercation with people disconnected from power. These preachers are inciting their people to show up armed near mourning #Homosexuals to start fights that can end in a murder with a "get out of jail free" card. #Homophobes who just grumble to themselves and do "live and let live" in their actions are not who I'm talking about. It's the murderous people as depicted in the video trying to use religion to cloak their mass murderous intentions, and to put thoughts of righteous indignation into the minds of their parishioners who will statistically have some of them do actual mass murders to be "Good #Christians" in the eyes of their flock.
People who were born #Gay and live their lives freely doesn't affect you no matter how badly you misread your Holy Book!
The #USA needs an intervention. We are off the freaking rails here, and nuts like the preachers in the video have significant power at this time.
Great breakdown of the #Israel #Palestine crisis. It's violently incorrect to call a person anti #Jew for merely being anti #Israeli #Government. That government is #Genocidal towards the #Palestinian people. I'm an #Atheist and I care about both #Jewish and #Muslim citizens in that whole region. I despise both the governing bodies in the area and have self-hate for my own government for funding this slow genocide of Palestinians. I do hate the Israeli government more because they are the instigating force that causes the reactionary groups like #Hamas to come about.
@Trevor Schadt Sorry to bother you, but I was perusing the global directory and saw sports fan next to your name. Want to make a guess as to why nobody seems to be talking on Federated networks about fantasy sports? Am I barking up the wrong tree?
and the #Trump crime family has sarcastically and monumentally broken this law, his time in office is being called #Emolumental on social media. In this particular case, we see the monetary reasons for #War in #Iran and the driving forces behind the #FalseFlag operations (like the damaged―not sunken―oil tankers), trying to drum up popular support for such a fraught #Military endeavor. It will be #America's newest #Vietnam.
The unusually long stay by Nahro al-Kasnazan, who served as a paid CIA informant during the Iraq War, shows how the hotel attracts foreigners who have an agenda to pursue with the Trump administration.

Been so long since I read a paper comic book I wouldn't know Thanos was ever in the paper versions. I think it was the 1980's that I last read one, and even then they weren't hot off the press.

Another Guatemalan migrant child dies in US custody
“The immigration agency lacks protocols for tending to migrant populations, and especially for populations presenting some type of illness,” said Jorge Andrade of the independent nonprofit Institute for Democracy and Safety, which monitors the detention of migrants in Mexico.
@Keebo What are you doing here? This is the worst forum for you to try advertising on, so their's that. Also, their's not much chance of your content getting seen. Also, if people do see it, they're not going to buy it.
Ugh. Please don't just throw up questionable product promotions here. Try to be a person with genuine human interactions first, then where appropriate mention the things you are trying to sell.

He was detained on April 19 by agents at the southern border, Guatemala’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said. One day later, he was sent to a government-contracted youth shelter in Brownsville, Texas, to begin a process of family reunification, according to the ministry.
The following morning, employees noticed that the teen was sick with “fever, chills and a headache,” Stauffer said. They took him to a nearby hospital where he received treatment. He then returned to the shelter.
Describing the boy’s medical condition, the Guatemalan Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the boy had “a severe infection in the frontal lobe that showed no improvement, even after a surgical intervention to stabilize the pressure inside the head area.”

But in Washington, D.C., you might not be able to take so-called APOs at face value. Reporter Patrick Madden of WAMU found that the charge of assaulting a police officer, which is meant to shield police from danger, also can be used as a tactic against citizens.
