  In these moments I know I could never be a schlocky journalist, because there's a solid gold headline in there about shoes, running shoes, running fast, I don't know -- just that it happened quick...
  
  Respect to the families of the victims. Hopefully among those who lived there weren't too many bad injuries.

  It's my fork of rebased and soapbox. It's focused on stability and compatibility, expanding on a lot of work I did on lotide to improve compatibility there. I've also been focusing a lot on making sure all the pleroma upstream work makes it back, as well as great ideas from other platforms like misskey or mastodon proper.
  
  One of the new features I added was groups support, with a focus on lotide, lemmy, mbin, and piefed, but we've done some friendly testing on many groups platforms including things like peertube. The messages you saw were me finally doing testing across the Internet between different platforms -- lotide, lemmy at hilariouschaos, and here.
  
  I've followed and unfollowed different communities on a lot of group or feed platforms without issues, sent likes or removed likes, and posted comments, but this is the first time I've had those different platforms follow a group hosted on fbxl social, and so there was a lot of noise because lemmy and lotide expect much different things than pleroma/rebased initially provided. It's all activitypub, but the ways it's used are very different between the different platforms, so you have to watch your logs and figure out why something didn't federate.

  I hope that daughter grows up knowing she's that loved.

  Unfathomably federation compatibility smoke test. This reply should be deleted automatically.

  It's going to be rougher even earlier than that. In a "mere" 250 million years we'll get another supercontinent, which sounds amazing but it's the sort of geological situation that lead to the destruction of most terrestrial life because all the land becomes a giant desert.
  
  I got on a geology kick one day, I came out wiser and much sadder.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wounded soldiers, families accuse Army of downplaying war injuries⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
  After 10 years of every news outlet being pretending the world ended because a couple elections went the wrong way, it probably looks like that to people who just feel like that was normal.
  
  Honestly, I'm happy to see a bit of balance returning. I don't want the pendulum to swing the other way in the same way, I think it'd be exhausting.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announces resignation⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
  @realcaseyrollins Yes, it surprised me both times, I figured Trudeau was going to drag the party into a third place loss, but someone finally convinced him to step down.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announces resignation⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
  @realcaseyrollins @news Guys like this and Trudeau are so supremely arrogant and so supremely convinced of their own righteousness that even though it seems obvious they should step down, they never do.

  @Lovstuhagen @news I don't suspect that most people would think "Hey, I want to keep going to war"
  
  Even people who think the war is a good idea don't actually want it. If it can end today, good!

  I'm making a distinction between the rank and file and the media, I don't really believe most rank and file are really like whatever the media or the like claim.... I mean if they really did flip 180 like that then it makes them incredibly disingenuous people...
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Conservatives Quickly Turn Against “Idiot” Marjorie Taylor Greene⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:
  I strongly suspect that most Democrats don't actually want to fund a bunch of forever wars either. I mean, that's what Obama was elected for, he just turned out to do the opposite of everything he was elected to do. "Help the poor, end the wars, shut down gitmo? I agree but let's tweak it to help the 0.1%, keep the wars going forever, keep gitmo going!"

  I had some conversation with some self-described fascists who I quickly realized were hoping to have someone come in, take over, and do exactly what they want.
  
  To me, socialism is the same thing, a hope that someone comes in, takes over everything, and does exactly what you want.
  
  Reality is never that charitable. Those folks will be the first in the gulags.

  @jd I want to be a badist. At that point, if you do anything remotely good people are surprised and impressed. If you claim you're a goodist then anything remotely bad people will be surprised and disappointed.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Hampshire now requires police to wear body cameras for accountability.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:
  @redditmirrorbot It's sort of ironic, body cameras tend to prove that most cops actually try really hard to do a good job and do right by people. Accountability works both ways, so I think that's a good thing. Earn respect, earn disrespect. Your choice.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After Decades in Woods, New Hampshire Man Forced From Cabin | New Hampshire News | US News⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:
  @redditmirrorbot Seems to me like this is exactly what is supposed to happen -- This guy didn't own the land, he used it and got 27 years of use out of it rent-free, and eventually the rightful owner of the land came around and told him to get out.
  
  Sometimes bad things happen. It isn't the state's fault that this guy didn't own the land he was living on, he's the one who decided to live on land he didn't own.
