@paninid Hindi, I can understand, bc it's the tongue of so many North Indians in different states, but Gujarati? Plus, you're forgetting Bangladeshis, the Bangali-speakers will have a field day with that.
@paninid Oh, it's that whole "Indian? Dot or feather?" thing. Haha, isn't it funny that Christopher Columbus made a mistake, and instead of murdering all OUR ancestors, he came here and murdered these people instead. I don't think he ever actually touched down on the U.S. landmass, did he?
Ya, @Sampath Pāṇini ® -- not all Indian Americans have a heritage from Asia. How 'bout that. Perhaps it was your intent to make the distinction by avoiding the term "American Indian", hm? Doesn't actually work tho.
People, it's called "common usage" in English. Even Native Americans call themselves Indian, and there's no defense for anybody except for the people who don't get which you're talking about. Spare a thought for people who have to listen to you because without them, you're just spittin' in the wind. The audience is who I'm defending.
A little bird told me that when #Threads will be totally into #ActivityPub then #Mastodon will mysteriously lose the ability to block entire domains/servers... 🐦
Only one of these Eastern Black Swallowtails is interested in more than dinner. She's effectively blocked him while dining and is now giving him the run-around.
When things started getting iffy over at Twitter, Mastodon rose as a popular alternative to the traditional microblogging platfrom. In contrast to the walled gardens of other social media channels,…
#Matrix is great, but using it can be a PITA. CLI clients are not ubiquitous, E2EE is complicated and requires local state, and the python client is extremely slow (like 10 seconds to send a message slow). I’ve often wanted a fast, easy way to post a message into a room in a way that’s simple and secure.
Enter #pokem, a simple CLI tool that can also run as a daemon. You create a user for it to run as, configure it to use that user, and invite that user to whatever rooms you want.
Remotely, you can send a POST request and it will put the data into the room. No fuss, no muss.
So I can run curl --fail -d "hello, matrix" 'https://pokem.koehn.com/<room id>' from any script and it will put the message there automagically, even if the room is E2EE.
Feel free to invite @pokem:koehn.com to your matrix room (on any home server) and you can do the same.
Quite surprised at how petrol-centric TX and OK look on this map. As I write this, there's been a huge hue/cry raised over the proposed Skeleton Creek Solar Farm. Petrol won't go quietly, clearly.

U.S. cities would call that an outrage against the Code Department and demand that it be cut down and mowed inside of 30 days. Its legal label is "noxious weeds".
The further away you live from things, if you live in the suburbs, the more unfair spending the government is doing on you compared to what you are giving them in taxes.
Sarasota County, Florida, is planning to use hundreds of millions of dollars to subsidize housing. But this money isn’t going toward low-income housing — it’s going toward road construction for gated communities.
@stefani banerian Yes me either. Im too low class. Growing up i always thought we were middle class. We were working class cusp between low and middle class. Referred to some people as upper middle class and my partner keeps telling me, no they are just middle class. My mind is still blown.
Activist group Occupy Democrats also wrote "This is a stunning betrayal of the American justice system. Judge Cannon should be removed from the bench immediately. It's undeniable now that she's a partisan MAGA operative."
Just letting everyone know that I shared misinformation that Austrian airport has its own desk for people who thought they were going to Australia. That is not even a little true. I will sit here with my shame for sharing bad facts.
Putin is stuck in WWII as is Netanyahu, while the GOP is stuck in the US Civil War. They all should be sent packing to the year 1900 and should never ever come back.
For Moscow, the war in Ukraine is a rerun of World War II
The Kremlin presents its war in Ukraine as a continuation of Moscow’s fight against Nazism in World War II. An exhibition of captured arms illustrates how. #press
Ten years later the financial regulators are getting off their asses like they did with other scammers behind Theranos and Nikola. About f’in them time! #ElonMusk #tesla
Once again I love the diversity of networks I can see with Friendica. The last ~50 posts in my main timeline included posts from: Diaspora, PixelFed, Mastodon, SocialHome, Bluesky, and Pleroma. Thank you Friendica and the fediverse. #friendica #fediverse
I did my first heavy leg day in a month, but not as heavy as the last one that I felt fo ra week. I was pretty tight yesterday morning so did an easy run but followed by lots of walking throughout the day. I'm feeling it a lot more today. Time to work out the beef jerky! #running #exercise #fitness
That will definitely be incorporated. I'm thinking a light 30 minute Peloton session (all Zone 1) followed by a 15-20 minute Focus Flow for Runners/Riders yoga class followed by foam rolling.
https://gerrymander.princeton.edu/ Both Parties are NOT the same. Only 3 Blue states gets a D/F rating. Red states ACTIVELY gerrymander. If Oregon and and Nevada get Ranked choice voting this year, they will go grey just like with AK and ME, because gerrymandering is much less effective with RCV. The GOP has 10, and that doesn't even cover prison Gerrymandering where prisoners who can't vote are counted in the counties they are held, so those areas get a massive boost in their voting power. In most cases the GOP doesn't care about representing everyone equally, only the people they can get away with to seize power. The house swapped right after redistricting even though voting habits didn't change at all from 2020 to 2022.
Someone at my job owns a #cybertruck .Yes it looks as dumb as you think, and I'm looking forward to seeing it continue to tarnish and ruse over time. #incelcamino
#onthisdayin2022 We were freaking out about the loss of reproductive rights #OnThisDayIn2023 The were a white supremacist mass shooting that had just occurred.
America is a war zone, just a guerrilla warfare zone, when the right kills and ambushes anyone it doesn't like under the right circumstances and then gets away legally. State sponsored terrorism
Last year, DFL lawmakers adopted legal protections for those seeking gender-affirming care in the state and those who provide it. Hundreds have made the move as a result.
The top 1% emits 29%, the top 10% emits 49%. If you make over $40k a year you are in the top 10% but if you noticed it gets exponentially worse the more you have. If the bottom 1billion people doubled overnight, it would raise CO2 emissions by around 1%. Malthusianism is an obsession by the rich because many of them are also eugenicists. We cannot afford the rich.
unfriendly reminder that “humans are a parasite on the earth/the earth will heal once we exterminate ourselves“ is ecofascist rhetoric. humanity isn’t killing the planet. a small handful of capitalists are. humans lived here in symbiosis with our environs for tens of thousands of years and we can do it again. It is specifically capitalism & settler colonialism and its defenders that insist the current endless cycle of extraction and exploitation is the only way, and they are LIARS
Anna Marie Jarvis wanted a national holiday to honor the dedication and sacrifice of America’s mothers. She wasn’t the first person to propose a Mother’s Day – but her campa…
Original FB post: "Mother's Day Historical Marker: Founded by Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia. First officially observed in 1908, it honored motherhood and family life at a time of rising feminist activism. An early supporter was John Wanamaker, whose store stood opposite. Mother’s Day was given federal recognition, 1914. By: 1998 by Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission. Mother’s Day Historical Marker in Downtown Philadelphia Mother's Day is a special holiday that is observed in over 40+ different countries. In the United States, its celebrated on the second Sunday during in month of May. It's a day that we celebrate motherhood, the bond between mother and child, and the influence that mothers have on modern-day society. The Mother's Day celebration began in the United States, at the initiative of Ann Reeves Jarvis in the early 20th century. There is an official historical marker located at the intersection of Juniper and Market Streets in downtown Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on the origins of the holiday. Some of the other countries that celebrate Mother's Day, but usually at different times of the year or month are: Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Finland, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Nepal, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Ukraine and the United Kingdom."
Additional context: It was originally called "working mother's day" by Jarvis as part of the labor movement and ended up horrified that people like Wanamaker turned it into yet another consumerist holiday to make money.
