A Russian lawmaker has introduced a bill that would limit prosecutions of old social media posts by tying the statute of limitations to publication dates, not discovery dates. A doomed initiative and apparent campaign posturing by Duma deputy speaker Vladislav Davankov. https://t.me/obrazbuduschego2/24922
Heartbreaking and enraging 💔

I started an iNaturalist project about #Barrambin / Victoria park:
https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/barrambin-victoria-park
Would be great to have others in #Meanjin / #Magandjin / #Brisbane get out to the park and record more of the biodiversity that can be found there!
@randahl Listen, I like a good steak as much as anyone, but we have to remember what the alternative to fields of solar panels are. Fields today (in Denmark) are primarily used for producing food for livestock. The agriculture industry in Denmark contributed in 2021 to 26% of total CO2 emissions in Denmark, to 84% of CH4 emissions and 87% of N2O emissions
. They pollute our air and destroy life in our lakes, streams, rivers and fjords.So using the fields to produce green energy does not seem like such a bad idea. And on top of that, the biodiversity of fields with solar panels are apparently higher then the biodiversity of mono-culture, single-crop fields.
The picture in the OP does not look nice - but please let's not loose focus on the bigger picture. The agriculture industry is effectively a "black industry" - and they need to change the way they manufacture their products.

GitHub continuing to do its thing today by me creating an issue (~1500 words) and it eating the entire thing when I submitted it.
luckily I had a little voice in my head saying "something's gonna be fucky today", so I did the ol' Ctrl-A Ctrl-C on the text beforehand.
which is good because this took me almost a day to write.
@gsuberland I once had to dig one of those out of an (intentionally created) browser coredump file ^^;;
Ecosocialist Bookshelf: May 2026

From superyachts to Covid conspiracies … seven new books for people who want to change the world.
that's part of their fallacy indeed. they use "cost" to refer to things that encompass their and other prices, but prices don't have to do with cost. in competitive markets, price tends to cost, but in distorted markets, such as those one enters when adopting nonfree software, it is arbitrary monopoly pricing. this affects the price of the entrance ticket as well. markets that are distorted by such power dynamics can offer lower entry prices, to bait naïve customers and get them hooked (locked in), so that they're forced to pay more later. in some cases this sort of price distortion is called dumping, and it's outrageously illegal. in other cases, legislators overlook it, even when it comes to spending of public money.
so, no, nonfree software doesn't always get a lower cost (price, really) when they torture the numbers so that they tell the story they wish the to tell, cutting off the time range before the locked-in customer has to pay back or pay to leave, or when there's dumping in disguise. it doesn't get a lower cost either when only a few are paying for the development and maintenance and support, instead of dividing that cost among gazillions of users forced to buy the product whether or not they want it. but yeah, overall, if you do the maths right, free software must always cost less in aggregate.

Report: Spain's PM awards Francesca Albanese the Order of Civil Merit
PM Pedro Sanchez described Albanese as "a voice that upholds the conscience of the world".
Sanchez has also pushed for the EU to shield the ICC & UN from US sanctions. "The EU cannot stand idly by in the face of this persecution," he said.

The U.S. trade court has ruled against President Donald Trump's latest 10% global tariffs, finding they were not justified under a 1970s trade law. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/05/08/economy/us-trump-tariff-rules/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #economy #trade #tariffs #us #donaldtrump
“Even if you're well-intentioned and want to comply with this law, it's nearly impossible to do so,” EFF’s Rin Alajaji told KUER 90.1 NPR Utah. “Our worry here is that this opens the door to other states and other countries to start creating these unworkable mandates.” https://www.kuer.org/politics-government/2026-05-07/utahs-online-porn-age-verification-law-now-includes-vpns-critics-say-it-wont-work

NEW: As Enbridge pushes forward on Line 5 pipeline re-route construction despite lacking key permits, it's blasting through ancient bedrock and wetlands without prior knowledge of exactly where and threatening treaty-protected wild rice beds.
Skylar Harris, an environmental petitioner with Midwest Environmental Advocates (MEA) recently spoke to UR about the irreparable harm that's already occurring and potential later dangers to the Great Lakes from Enbridge blasting.

They're asking Google to fork over ID for Canadian activists. Are we about to start black bagging Canadian critics because why else would you need that information? It's not illegal in Canada to fucking hate Trump and think ICE is the Gestapo even if we're changing the laws in the US to make it so at home?
Seb Gorka is literally out here ejaculating all over himself because his lifelong dream of legally defining anyone online who ever called him a fucking corncob as a terrorist is now reality. Trump is rebuilding the White House, building himself a fucking Hitlerbunker and apparently - gluing currency with his face on it around the White House?
Brey... he's doing it.
I love llamas.
So they only spit on Amy Schumer.

The San Mateo Bridge, spanning the San Francisco Bay just south of SFO Airport, is relatively unremarkable except for its seemingly endless length. Occasionally known locally as the "S&M Bridge" for its often painful traffic congestion, looked at from the right distance, it can appear rather serine.
