Global institutions are caught in a delusion, begging Silicon Valley to "do the right thing."
They fail to grasp the ironclad law of fiduciary duty. You cannot shame a corporate machine engineered strictly for capital efficiency. It’s a category error. If a system cannot feel empathy, stop trying to teach it how. Logic must fight logic.

Watch our mini-doc spotlighting the events six years ago today in Reporter Reflection on George Floyd Uprising – Episode 1. [13 min.]
After George Floyd was killed by police, throngs of people amassed at what would become George Floyd Square for a vigil before marching three miles to the 3rd Precinct, where a continuous flashpoint of revolt led to the precinct's besiegement.

Once again, it turns out that "run the country like a business" means "run the country like a dictatorship."
This, in turn, reveals how much despotism we take for granted in the economy. Capitalism has accustomed us to authoritarianism. Now our political institutions are catching up.

I'm enjoying using Nicolium https://web.nicolium.app/ a MastoAPI front end.
It has some nice design choices!
Ukraine's ambassador to Turkey said he expects NATO to discuss financial support for Kyiv at its summit in July, suggesting each member contributes a small proportion of its budget. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/05/27/world/politics/ukraine-nato-summit-funding/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #ukraine #russia #russiaukrainewar #vladimirputin #volodymyrzelenskyy #nato

HR admin here. Had to discipline two twats at work who were sending out pictures of Dick Cheney labeled "dick pic". Stated reason was sending work-unrelated material on company network and time. Real reason was crime against comedy.
Got annoyed by inconsistent bus status updates and decided to walk home from knitting. Nice weather, still enough light, but I'm still expecting my legs to hate me for it.
Instantly rewarded by the wildlife.

Texans, I want you to think very, very carefully here. If you are simultaneously represented by Ted Cruz AND Ken Paxton, we WILL pull a Bugs Bunny and saw Texas off to float adrift in the gulf, and in a thousand years people won't be talking about the mythical lost city of Atlantis, it'll be the mythical State of Texas that everyone is pretty sure never actually existed
Turns out I'll be speaking at Sonoma County Pride's Trans Rally next Friday 😳
I'm excited and nervous.

I swear I lose about a day per month to terrible auth flows that derail my thought process and send me someplace besides what I was trying to log into in the first place.
I know my brain is medium to extra spicy, but I can't be the only one with this struggle.
@mttaggart And can we please also spare a special place in hell for the banks, each if which insists on doing their own form of 2FA theatre?
