  As someone who knows nothing about entomology, it reminded me of this one beetle with a comically large pointy bit. I think it’s called a hercules beetle.

  Are you free tonight? Because I don’t have any money.

  Turns out when Zuckerbot was talking about “allowing more speech on the platform”, he just meant more slurs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨App stores unconvinced by Trump's pause of TikTok ban, which may be on shaky legal ground⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “May be on shaky legal ground”

  The law clearly states that Tiktok is banned and should be made inaccessible. The president cannot unilaterally change the law. They even got a lawyer to explain this to them.

  Regardless of what you think of the ban, there can be no doubt about the fact that this is what the law says. No matter what Trump claims. If journalists show this level of misregard for truth and the rule of law, things are going to become much worse.

  The revolution will not be televised.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A more complete explanation for the removal of those Russian Linux kernel maintainers⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Putin couldn’t care less about the support from some random programmers. Be realistic, what do you expect them to do? Take up arms? Protest and get imprisoned? Vote in the sham elections?

  Targeting random civilians in hopes of political change is the strategy of terrorists.

  So then you agree that there is no reason to be “glad” about this?

  And how exactly is banning these contributors supposed to stop the invasion?

  Such is the fate of hypercentralized spaces. The fediverse fixes this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Australia's internet watchdog says she received "death threats" and that her children were doxxed after she was targeted by Elon Musk for attempting to regulate Xitter⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t see how this is so difficult. Given the choice between a narcissistic billionaire or an independent, accountable government commission that’s bound by the rule of law, I’ll choose the latter every time.
