5 SHOCKING TRUTHS:
1. As an adult, parents remain in our lives by invitation only. We do not have to maintain family ties. 2. Forgiveness is not required for healing & growth, and it is often weaponized by abusers. Acceptance of reality is more important. 3. No one is coming to rescue you; you must save yourself. 4. You can do everything right & still experience pain & loss. 5. There is no such thing as “karma,” but there are consequences - and they often look pretty similar. #SecularHumanist

I think we should all be clear on the stakes.

Journalists who cover Elon Musk had their accounts suspended *last week*.

Twitter announced a policy disallowing outlinks to other social networks at the same time.

They are giving full access to DMs and private accounts to conservative journalists.

It is a really fucked-up system. It's not just another social network.

"Calling out", or "name and shame", is also a really strong response. I don't think I'm there yet, even with individuals and organisations that should be supporting this network.

I'm at a point, now, where I'm pretty disappointed to see friends here posting there. And I've told one or two as much, privately.

What @DarthPutinKGB says about Patriot anti-air systems is the same thing mr. hoering was saying about Spitfire planes. You know how it worked out for him.

While we're at it, let's remember air force that was fighting airbone nazis under .

Excusing their support of war *or* inaction by living in a "police state" is absolutely unacceptable.

I'm really glad when people go from crypto back to the science.

I've seen a hundred too many cases of people going the other way.

What a fascinating data structure darrenburns.net/posts/piece-ta

I never have heard of them, but piece tables have been driven text editors for years at this point. Undo/Redo functionality is kinda a cherry on top

Sounds familiar? Except have access to the Internet, so there is no excuse for them.

> Ruth Maier, an Austrian Jew who has escaped nazis to Norway, but who will die in fas chambers in Aushwitz some two years from now, writes in her diary of some german soldiers telling locals that the poles had killed sixty thousand german civilians in Poland before germany invaded Poland to protect the rest of them. The Norwegian local asked the soldiers if they really believe that they're in Norway to "protect" the Norwegians as they now say in the newspapers. The soldiers said that they indeed are in Norway from the British. And this they do believe. We've talked both in this series and in the about the impact of propaganda. While to the rest of the world the invasion of Poland was a dasterdly act of unwarranted aggression, but to an average german citizen it was justified, or even necessary because the Poles were killing all the ethnic germans in Poland and planned to invade Germany. I mean, that's what the radio and newspaper was telling them about every day for the whole last Summer. I mean, they wouldn't lie about it, right? Why would anyone lie about it.

On the first image is the logo and the bio of the bot. It's made and ran by liberals who call Ukrainians "ukropy" (a slur).

On the second image is how I personally read this, as a Latvian, who has suffered from both actions of the soviet union, the symbol of which is featured on the user pic of the bot, and the rotten and deadly influence of the putin's russia, the flag of which is the background on the bot's userpic.

When you see reasonably-sounding russians who are registered on mastodon.ml, please be very-very careful. Majority of them are as "anti-war" as german protestants and catolics were during . Their MO is "I dislike putin, but I'm a patriot of russia", "both sides are wrong", "we should've negotiated better and subdue Ukraine via non-military action".

In case you think that "liberal" channels like () are somehow different from overtly imperialist or covertly imperialist .

The label says "Baltic question". Nazi culture somehow got deeply internalised by .

During WWII, four brothers from the same Jewish family signed up to fight against the Nazis. Only one of the four brothers survived.

His grandson is the current President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky.

The Guardian manages to "both sides" the brutal Russian invasion of Ukraine twice in two sentences in their pop-up begging for new subscribers.

Between this and the free rein they give to transphobes I can't imagine why they're struggling for cash.

Ukraine to officially address Russia’s exclusion from UN Security Council on December 26.
When the USSR broke apart in 1991, Russia assumed the USSR's seat, and more importantly, its VETO power. BUT there was no official process or approval behind Russia's power grab. Ukraine, and the other ex-Soviet-bloc nations, had fully as much right to that seat as Russia, OR that seat should have simply expired along with the USSR.

“Booty call” and “butt dial” has been offered up as an example of where the literal meaning of two phrases is the same but the implied meaning is very different (denotative vs connotative meanings).

Today a coffee mug gave me another example: “dad bod” and “father figure”
