@jake4480 Blues without rhythm and you won’t attract the worm

#ActivityPub carries posts, follows, likes and so on, but not moderation. A ban stays trapped on the instance that issued it. So, for instance, an account banned for racism on one instance stays unknown to the next. Moderation is activity too, and it should travel like the rest: signed and verifiable. This is a real problem, and others have explored it already. I will look into what already exists and see what we could build on for #HolosSocial.

@sundogplanets I would've guessed 5 to 7, so...

Thank you for all of us for your tireless service in this regard! Seriously. Important things get buried in the news cycle so easily without constant prodding. This one is important for the entirety of humanity!

Escorting The Blimp

The times were crazy since that alternate reality dropped onto Earth. Had somene told her only five years ago she would be steering an airship through interdimensional clouds, escorted by frigging flying whales, she probably had told that person to stop doing drugs. But here she was ...

The question came up today "When will Bluesky support 2FA for things like passkeys", etc besides email.

I've talked about it a bit spread out, but thought I'd do a 🧵 on the lay of the land with auth and 2FA in the atmosphere

It was so important that Elon got rid of all the waste fraud and abuse in USAID, so the US could finally afford…

… to fly the son of JD Vance to golf practice on The Marine Two military helicopter, accompanied by both US Marines and multiple Secret Service agents.

You know… good solid priorities that truly put America first.*

(* Here I am assuming that JD's son's name is America.)

Is this what mean when they call something a fishing expedition? 😂

@rachel @12thRITS and while visitors to the strip may account for a disproportionate amount of the economy, it’s a city with over 2 million residents, almost all of whom have to drive everywhere.

I can imagine Thomas Tuchel staying for another four years to try again, and that probably makes sense for England as a long-term project.

I can't imagine Thomas Tuchel surviving a meaningful explanation for what Harry Kane said.

There's a common misconception that climate change will simply move farmland north of its current location. A lot of Americans were banking on Canada. And look, Canada is on fire.

Boreal forest doesn't become arable farmland easily. The more likely outcome is a lot of places become deserts and there is no arable land at all.

The view from Ontario.

Another person has died in federal immigration custody this week in Georgia, officials announced on Wednesday.
His is the 22nd death in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody this year.
Jesús Manuel Arenas-Silva,
a 45-year-old Venezuelan man,
died on Monday morning while being transferred between detention facilities in Georgia.
In a press release, ICE said Arenas-Silva was arrested last Thursday
and had been detained at the Irwin county detention center,
a privately run facility in Georgia.
He was being transferred to another ICE facility, the Folkston ICE processing center,
when he was found “unresponsive” in a transport bus.
ICE said the “suspected” cause of death was cardiac arrest.

Arenas-Silva’s sister and immigrants’ rights groups in Georgia said in a press statement that
ICE did not provide him with necessary medications during his time in detention for an unnamed condition he was dealing with,
despite his family’s pleas that he take the medications during his arrest last week.

“He went without medication during his detention until he tragically died in ICE custody on Monday,” the press statement said.

Arenas-Silva’s death comes as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which oversees ICE,
is facing renewed calls for accountability
after three other people died in the past week during the department’s aggressive immigration enforcement tactics

One thing I am quite delighted about is that the reason I'm not getting as many interviews as I predicted is because a whole bunch of the lovely astronomers I work with on satellite pollution advocacy are getting interviews! I am so happy to see that! Good job, journalists.
