It worked, thanks 🙏
"I don't have time for this." That might be the name of a podcast. I just ended one with that exact phrase, and it totally fits the way I feel about these rambling diatribes by the time I'm about to sign off.
mas.to/users/kissane/statuse... straconsiglio questo articolo di @kissane@mas.to !
É un affresco potente e lucido dei presenti che stiamo attraversando. Ammiro tantissimo chi, scrivendo, riesce a mantenere complessità, idee, opinioni e contraddizioni tutte insieme, senza ostinarsi a cercare soluzioni a tutti i costi, o come dice donna haraway, é capace di "restare a contatto col problema" ❤️
I'll be hosting these 3 sessions at this years #39c3 🚀
All are connected to open networks and social #sovereignty.
We will speak about 🇪🇺 #advocacy for #social #networks based on #open #protocols like #ActivityPub or #ATproto
Also about our 4 demands for #opennetworks ✊ #EDIC

Ivan! Do you have anyone from Bonfire that will be able to make it to London for Feb 4-5?
@snow @xabacadabra @tassoman @kenobit altro possibile fronte di azione comune: azioni legali per chiedere ai siti della pubblica amministrazione che espongono le icone dei social commerciali di dotarsi anche di un account nel fediverso, con esposto all’antitrust e alle associazioni dei consumatori se qualche ente pubblico favorisce piattaforme commerciali discriminando gli utenti di quelle libere.
@gubi@sociale.network @kenobit@livellosegreto.it @tassoman@misskey.social @snow@snowfan.it @xabacadabra@misskey.social chiedere ai siti della pubblica amministrazione (o a qualunque sito/progetto finanziato con fondi pubblici) di quantomeno inserire link a social aperti è anche una delle proposte spinte dalla nascente Social Web Advocacy Group...
Ho scoperto da poco questo evento che sembra andare in quella direzione fedivariety.org/unconference
@gubi @snow @xabacadabra @tassoman
Per organizzare una festa del fediverso, contate assolutamente su di me. Mi sembra un'idea bellissima e potremmo farla in più parti d'Italia.
@kenobit@livellosegreto.it @gubi@sociale.network @tassoman@misskey.social @snow@snowfan.it @xabacadabra@misskey.social concordo tantissimo sulla festa itinerante!
We're very excited to announce that we're sponsoring Protocols for Publishers - @team - in London.
As well as helping support the event, @saskia will be joined by Siddhartha from The Bristol Cable to talk about building a social app for a local community, with their local news publisher.

wow c'è un nuovo centro culturale a gaeta, la #casamatta!
Always cool to read Donna Haraway and realize how much influenced bonfire and how much it is connected to it:
"Thinking-with / Becoming-wth : A practice of engagement where one takes up ideas or relationships (like a cat's cradle) and carries them forward, creating new patterns, emphasizing trust, relay, and shared making rather than individual ownership."
Cruelty as Policy: When a President Turns Murder Into a Punchline
There is insensitivity. Then there is what Donald Trump did.
Within hours of the violent stabbing deaths of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, the President of the United States looked at a double homicide and decided it was an opportunity. Not for leadership. Not for restraint. Not even for silence. He chose to sneer. He chose to smear the dead. He chose to imply that political disagreement was somehow justified, or even caused, a brutal killing.
That choice was not accidental. It was not careless phrasing. It was deliberate cruelty, delivered from the highest office in the country.
Trump took a family annihilated by violence and twisted their deaths into an insult, inventing a narrative in which criticism of him becomes a mental disease, and that alleged “disease” becomes the reason people die. He used the phrase “Trump Derangement Syndrome” not as a tired insult this time, but as a causal explanation for murder. Then, when given the chance to step back, he doubled down. He called Reiner deranged. He declared him bad for the country. No apology. No correction. No shame.
That is not politics. That is rot.
Let us strip this down to its bones. Two people were stabbed to death in their own home. Their son, who has publicly struggled with addiction for years, was arrested. This is a story about untreated mental illness, substance use disorder, family breakdown, and catastrophic failure of support systems. It is tragic. It is human. It is painful.
Trump saw none of that. Or worse, he saw it and did not care.
Instead, he turned a real death into a culture war talking point. He framed murder as karmic consequence for dissent. He transformed grief into ammunition. That is not edgy. That is not provocative. That is sociopathic leadership behavior.
Even by Trump’s standards, this crossed a line. The proof is not outrage from his critics. That is expected. The proof is the backlash from within his own ideological camp. When MAGA-aligned Republicans are publicly urging a president to retract statements, something has gone deeply off the rails. These are not people known for fragile sensibilities. They recoiled because the comment was indefensible, even by the lowered moral standards Trump has spent years forcing into public life.
The phrase “Trump Derangement Syndrome” has always been a coward’s shield. It is what people say when they cannot refute facts. It reframed accountability as pathology and turns disagreement into sickness. Using it to mock a murder victim is an escalation that should alarm anyone who still believes words from a president matter.
Because words do matter. Especially from someone who commands loyalty, media oxygen, and institutional power.
When a president treats death as a joke, it teaches cruelty. When a president suggests dissent leads to violence, it encourages dehumanization. When a president frames critics as mentally ill, it deepens stigma around mental health and addiction. None of that is abstract. It lands in real communities, real families, real lives.
Trump did not merely insult Rob Reiner. He insulted every family that has lost someone to violence. He insulted parents who have buried children struggling with addiction. He insulted anyone who has begged for mental health care that never came. He insulted the basic idea that public office carries moral obligation.
Defenders will try to soften this. They always do. They will say it was figurative. They will say people are too sensitive. They will say Trump just speaks bluntly. That defense collapses instantly. There is nothing figurative about implying someone caused their own murder by being politically outspoken. There is nothing blunt about inventing causation where none exists. There is nothing honest about exploiting death to settle personal grudges.
This was not leadership under pressure. This was instinct. And instinct reveals character.
A president does not need to like a political opponent to acknowledge their humanity. That is the bare minimum. Trump failed that test spectacularly. He did so because contempt is his default setting. Empathy never enters the equation.
The presidency is not merely a job. It is a moral signal. It tells the country what behavior is acceptable, what is rewarded, and what is dismissed. When cruelty flows downward from the top, it becomes permission. It becomes culture. It becomes policy by example.
This moment matters because it shows how normalized this has become. A decade ago, a president mocking a murder victim would have ended a career. Today, it barely dents the news cycle. That numbness is not accidental. It is learned.
Rob Reiner was a critic of Trump. He was also a husband, a father, and a human being. His wife was not a political actor at all. They deserved dignity in death. That is not partisan. That is not ideological. That is basic decency.
Trump chose to deny them even that.
If the president of the United States cannot respond to a brutal homicide without spite, then the problem is not tone. The problem is fitness. Moral fitness. Civic fitness. Human fitness.
This was not a gaffe. It was a confession.
