See this post by [@thomasfuchs]( ), from earlier this week; https://hachyderm.io/@thomasfuchs/115210058368109140 For my own future reference, this is the blog post on world dot hey dot com that is being referred to, in which DHH rolls out all the usual 'Great Replacement' tropes, praises Tommy Robinson, etcetera; https://archive.ph/3EN2N Reader beware! Meanwhile, a reminder that there are still plenty of companies happily giving him money, including Rails World platinum sponsor [@appsignal](https://appsignal.social/@appsignal ), which seems to have abandoned its fedi presence. I guess @Roy Tomeij :appsignal: didn't want to hear the criticism any longer, eh? Simping for DHH paid off with a $22M investment from a US venture capitalist earlier this year, though, so I guess they feel they're doing alright. But it also includes nerd darling Framework, who I can't tag from here because they're still happily residing on Fosstodon, and a long list of other companies you should perhaps reconsider giving money to; The fucking rot in this industry πŸ˜’ #OrganisedAffiliatedFuckers #DHH

A reminder, as the news is awash with the death of Charlie Kirk, a known fascist, xenophobic, antisemitic hate preacher; 1) Everything he did and contributed to was political violence. It is the only reason we even know who this fucker was. It was why he was out in the open, in the path of that bullet; 2) The instant blaming of 'the radical left' (Trump) and 'the progressive-liberal left' (OrbΓ‘n) while the identity of the shooter and their motives remain a mystery is calculated, premeditated political violence; 3) The lionisation of this fucker by people in power, pretending that he did not sow this himself, that his hateful rhetoric was somehow part of some bullshit 'debate' is political violence, and a slap in the face of anyone ever targeted by this asshole and the movement that survives him; 4) Being forced to pay attention to this because it might have a real-world impact on the continued safety of you and your loved ones is political violence. #News #OrganisedAffiliatedFuckers #USpol
SLOPSHAM, noun; Like 'flugsham' or 'flygskam', but for the shaming of the continued use of generative 'AI' after being made aware of the broad variety of societal and environmental impacts.
"Releasing just 20 lynx in Northumberland would be enough to create a healthy wild population, research has found, and most people in the area would support the practice. Northumberland Wildlife Trust has been working to see if the wild cats, which became extinct in Britain about 1,300 years ago as a result of hunting and habitat loss, could be returned to the area. In a paper published in the Journal of Environmental Management, modelling studies found that lynx would be able to thrive in the area." Lynx lynx lynx! 😻 #DontPayTheGuardian
