It's better to wake up alone knowing you're alone, than to wake up next to someone and nevertheless feel lonely.

Woha, edgy!
I don't know who anyone mentioned here is except the former president, and I have no intention of watching the videos and giving them further attention.
But none of this shit is real. Whatever he begs Musk for in the video is for show. The so-called gifting is for show. Trump is not going to drive around in a Musk machine.
These videos are Tesla ads, and they are Trump campaign ads. The guy making the ads apparently reaches an audience, so of course they will make sure he has access to Cybertrucks or whatever.
And considering what a piece of shit Musk is, I really don't understand what is surprising here.
Colder than a well digger's ass.
It might also be that they don't federate well - Bridgy was not built with Lemmy in mind, and Lemmy was not designed to be a very flexible application of ActivityPub.
It could also be that Lemmy can't search for users that are not already observed on the server, making Bridgy invisible as the account itself never posts any content anywhere.
A brief rough history, in case anyone is interested:
17th century: Kings and shit. The people supporting the rule of the king are in power. They become conservatives.
18th century: Liberals appear. They believe men have certain inherent rights from nature. They don't dig kings, but they do believe in private property. They sit to the left in parliaments, the conservatives sit to the right.
19th century: Marx gives us his take on history and labour. Liberalism is given a competing framework from the left.
20th century: All kinds of shit goes down, partly because the conservatives and the liberals are terrified of the Marxists and give the fascists the keys to the kingdom, partly because of a Marx-inspired Leninists take control in Russia. The "new" left (socialism) becomes a major force in the postwar era, promising to build a new world on the ashes of the old.
21st century: There seems to be a head on collision. People feel strongly about these concepts, but it seems many have forgotten where they come from or what they mean. Disinformation campaigns have gotten efficient. Green politics enter the field.
As Bluesky is federated through it's own protocol (AT), ActivityPub content can be bridged to the AT protocol and appear on BlueSky. This is currently possible through Bridgy.fed.
If you want your stuff to be bridged to BlueSky, just follow @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy. It probably doesn't work very well with the threadiverse though.
It doesn't work, as what is being shared here is not the post itself but a link to it. You cannot "re-post" other people's content into threads in the Threadiverse - they'd have to submit it themselves by tagging the community.
That said, people can check out @mho@social.heise.de and see if the post federated.
Terrorism = Acts of violence with the purpose of instilling fear. Or something along those lines.
Doesn't matter if you agree with them. I sympathise fully with the root purpose of the PKK and the ETA, and possibly also the IRA. I find that their means sometimes undermine their cause, and it makes me somewhat uncomfortable to be aligned with them politically.
It's possible for people to do terrible things in the name of a good cause.
And "terrorist group" doesn't mean "the baddies" - that's just how it's used in America. Tarantino's jewish gang in Inglorious Basterds would be a text book terrorist organization, but terrorising Nazis is generally considered an okay thing to do.
Maybe we've read different sources - to me it seems like season four is very much a possibility.
The Return did an amazing job wrapping things up until the last episode, when it tore it all open again. That scream. Is it future or is it past?
That said, I agree that it stands great as it does. The loose threads are what makes it all so special - you never know just how loose they actually are.
Thank god he's not retired - my poor heart couldn't stand knowing there won't be another season of Twin Peaks. I just wonder if he can create his magic remotely.
And I guess it's very much in the nature of Twin Peaks that it will never have a satisfying ending. That's part of what's satisfying about it.
Ten years ago I thought it was a great movie until they left for space, at which point it got gradually worse until the ending just sucked an inexcusable amount. But I hadn't seen 2001 yet, and a lot of the weirder elements seemed to come out of nowhere. I should probably give it another shot.
