The Butcher of Bosnia, Ratko Mladić, has died in his prison cell in The Hague.
Convenient of him to make room for Putin.
@randahl shows that it’s possible for society to hold monsters to account
W Social interacts by default with the rest of the ATmosphere, but aparently there's a browser extension from somebody there that lets you block everybody on a different PDS. 🤣 And there's also a blocklist of "W Social critics" (including @elena's ATmosphere account ... a badge of honor).
The ATmosphere really is a lot more like fedi than people in either ecosystem want to admit.

Why isn't DeSantis part of Trump's cabinet? He'd fit right in. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/27/us/casey-desantis-charity-hope-garden-medicaid-settlement.html?unlocked_article_code=1.8lA.2wLi.bhCtLU5avwF5&smid=bs-share
@jswatz_tx secretary of commerce. Or attorney general! He has so many talents.
si vous vous demandez à quel niveau de parasitisme est rendu le patronat de ce pays : la salle entière du Medef se marre à gorge déployée quand Jean-Luc Mélenchon dit qu'il faut augmenter les salaires 🤡

@nileane hum, ca serait pas une réaction à un truc hors caméra ? Ou alors un gimmick du discours genre c'est la 4e fois qu'il le dit, ou alors il vient de piquer la phrase à un-e autre débattant-te ?
Ca me parait pas justifié comme réaction, et très unanime dans la salle (vu le volume des rires). Mais c'est ptet vrai hein, ca fait longtemps que j'ai pas croisé un patron dans sa zone de confort x)
my closet of abandoned retrocomputing projects is like the TARDIS, I’ve no idea how so much stuff can be stored in that little space

@jonny I fuckin’ love ideas. Even bad ideas are fun—try ‘em on, see that they don’t fit, now you know.

Bad idea whip ass most of my ideas are bad ideas
Like, this is happening right now, as you speak - the US system of government is demonstrating that a President can MAKE THE WHOLE COUNTRY behave as if ABSOLUTE FANTASY is real.
And y'all are seriously like "just gotta vote in some Democrats to stop fascism?"
Gimme a fucking break. I am literally going to mix up a big batch of Draino and anthrax and just glug it like cola to escape the fucking delusional nonsense of Americans.

Because the behavior of the parties is not symmetrical. If we genuinely brought back shaming of shitty, cruel, deceptive behavior, the shame would overwhelmingly fall on the right, and the whole elite political & media system has shown again & again that it values symmetry over decency.

Mfs are so broken by the prestige treadmill they've forgotten the simple joy of "having an idea"

I mean brey, Trump is a REAL TIME demonstration that the American system of government DOES NOT WORK (at least to protect people from a Hitler/Emperor figure) and y'all are STILL telling me I'm nuts for saying "let's start over" - hello? The system FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED cannot stop Trump - if you don't fucking CHANGE the system, what will stop the next Trump?
Like did the entire country have a fucking brain tumor for breakfast while I wasn't looking?
The US has declared Autistici/Inventati, an Italian anarchist hacker (in the classic sense of the term) collective, a terrorist organization. https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sb0616/
But what you really ought to read is this article about A/I's history, and what this means https://cavallette.noblogs.org/2026/08/10083/2
I'm concerned that the US government is starting to identify decentralized media infrastructure as a threat to its survival. Repost information about this broadly, and if you have media contacts, inform them of counter-narratives; there could come a time where the fediverse, or any decentralized network infrastructure, is a target as well if we don't sound the alarms now.
EDIT: I linked to the wrong page! The second link is now fixed :)
@cwebber It was a target the moment the fascists took power from the people
