For any confused readers.

I want to believe poster, but it's a nun and a giant Armenian man slyly fistbumping

Speaking of the 'don, it's not really my usual thing (I never loved twitter), but I have to say it's really bumping lately. Seems like lots of great conversations whenever I visit. I think it's growing on me.

It's a really popular alternative to substack, for one. That's mostly how I know about it — many writers of conscience I subscribed to migrated over when ss went rotten.

… what do we call the death and pain caused by pursuit of profits?

The term I've heard for this is social murder:

… an unnatural death that is believed to occur due to social, political, or economic oppression, instead of direct violence.

Scared CEOs—finally, a guilt-free fetish.

Not a solution, but this is a great reminder to add descriptions/alt text to your images.

I would take a doubling of the current rate if they would implement voting reform - like they promised.

Really? I always thought it was the opposite. I'm broke, and even I know you need taxes to pay for all the large projects we all benefit from.

Obviously I don't want it going to Israel, or any of the bad things which are funded in my name, but on the whole the purchasing power of our tax base is greater than anything I could do individually with my portion.

Might it also be possible/feasible to send an "email blast" to everyone with a slrpnk.net account? It would probably be quite complicated to send that many emails at once without getting blocked by the major email providers, but hypothetically we've all registered with emails...

Just spitballing ideas for the future. Everything's fine now. Gives me an excuse to spend a little more time on the Canadian end of the fediverse. :)

I've had the opposite--personal trip and work server problems.
