With the #MastodonForHarris fundraiser approaching $300,000 (!), I thought I'd say a little about why I am going to keep it going, most likely all the way through Inauguration Day. 1/  As some have noticed Harris for President is hiring heavily. https://kamalaharris.com/work-with-us/ 2/ @heidilifeldman

 me and my GenX ass are Team Zoomers all the way. i mean, i am the mother of 2, so i've contributed to this generational snarkery. @clarissadelune joder :0 (what a surprise) we just talked all and over about this ... with a friend ... wait we all only talk about this basically, no? money, life bad....  @alemppu @tomw Be careful, you'll get those nerds properly riled up by using "luddite" as a slur! There's a very good analogy here that I don't think you meant, but luddites *were* technologists, they were the ones building the auto-looms, improving them, etc. it wasn't technology they were objecting to, it was the fact that unions were illegal and they were being told that their comfortable well-paid work from home jobs now had to come into a factory floor for a 10th of the pay. Mastodon is the world's biggest community of people who deeply love computers and also think that the world would probably be better off without computers

 Mastodon is just a platform. community is Fediverse and it contains tens of different platforms.
@benno holy shit thank you I just went to check my overseas registration - which I thought was set to continue indefinitely - and discovered it expired one and a half years ago. Have now renewed for… “four more years (!)” Hey USA friends: Go check your voter registration. Even if you're not in a state that is being shitty about its voter rolls. Just do it because you're cool like that. Abaddon and the locusts (Revelation 9:7-11). Beatus of Liébana, Commentaria in Apocalypsin (the ‘Beatus of Saint-Sever’), Saint-Sever before 1072. BnF, Latin 8878, fol. 145v. Koalas can't vote but there is power in a union. Or something. Anyway here is a cartoon featuring the CFFMEU. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/picture/2024/jul/24/the-cffmeu-unequivocally-condemns-koala-habitat-destruction @firstdogonthemoon PLiberalsek is really “screwing the pooch” lately (sorry First Dog) [Satire, you lawyers] TIL that the first wind turbine was introduced in 1887 by a Scot called James Blyth. He offered to power the street lights of the village of Marykirk, near Aberdeen, using his 33ft turbine – the villagers refused and called it “the work of the devil.” https://www.historytoday.com/miscellanies/let-there-be-wind-turbines The Australian Federal Government spends 10x more on big ute tax breaks than building cycle paths. @jessta@aus.social #alttext4you Cartoon about some of the things happening here and overseas. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/picture/2024/jul/22/voiceless-in-gaza What would a Kamala Harris presidency mean for the climate? Grist takes a look at her record in California, the Senate and the White House, and statements she's made in the past. "We must do more,” Harris said at last years' COP28. “Our action collectively, or worse, our inaction will impact billions of people for decades to come.” #ClimateChange #Climate #ClimateCrisis #KamalaHarris #USPresidency Big ute loophole cost taxpayers over $250 million in 2023 https://australiainstitute.org.au/post/big-ute-loophole-cost-taxpayers-over-250-million-in-2023/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=big-ute-loophole-cost-taxpayers-over-250-million-in-2023 #Auspol Well, it looks like Matilda Jones, aged 7, is the new ruler of Britain, sorry I don't make the rules.

Hey Charles, William, and all you other pretenders: you are hearby evicted. All hail Queen Matilda! @cmconseils a FAR stronger sign than some raving loon getting hit by teleprompter shrapnel.  @cmconseils From 2017 and unfortunately it's not Excalibur, but a sword thrown into the lake in the 80s by a dude that was big into neopaganism. My own preferred solution: leave the fucking things turned off. Stop giving computers to people who shouldn’t have them. Smash the looms. You didn’t need a smartphone anyway, it’s been nothing but hassle. Go outside. Smash the looms. Look at the birds. Meet your neighbours. Smash the looms. Smash. The looms.

@ilumium
the crazy thing, almost all of it is a private credit asset bubble. it will only take the right global supply train Janga piece to pop it all.
Hint: Watch this spot for insurance default!

Funny, that’s about the amount of money we need to address the #ClimateCrisis globally.
Looks like the timing could not have been better for that metal Les Mis part of the #OpeningCeremony.
Good job #Paris2024 reminding them that there are worse fates than the big boogieman they see in the taxman. #TaxTheRich
