No amount of complicity is going to save you from fascism, so you might as well fight.
THIS IS MASSIVE. Portugal has cancelled the order for F-35s from the US and will replace their F-16s with European fighters. “We have to be able to count on the predictability of our allies, which is no longer the case with the United States."
More EU states to come. Winning

See that little gray rock?
That's Deimos, the mysterious outer moon of Mars, spied yesterday as the Hera spacecraft buzzed by the Red Planet. Little Deimos is just 12km (8 miles) wide.
Such a cool shot.

Program goes to Operating System, tears in eyes, says "my state, it is very bad"
Operating System says "is no problem, have good error reporting facility, detailed but concise report, contextual information included. you will submit bug there"
Program sobs loudly "but Operating System, I *am* error reporting facility"
Schumer is capitulating to Trump, again.
For those saying that Chuck Schumer is just one Senate Democrat and doesn't speak for the entire party, I have two responses:
1. He literally is the minority Leader of the Democrats, so yes he does speak for the party in capitulating to Trump
2. If Senate Dems found his act truly objectionable, they'd remove him. They won't. They're complicit.
We desperately need leadership with the courage to fight injustice.

Trump threatens to copy Putin’s Crimean invasion, by using existing US bases on Greenland as a bridgehead to invade the Island — just like Putin sent thousands of soldiers to his Sevastopol base on Crimea to start the invasion.
I am sorry, but I can only conclude the US is now an enemy of The Kingdom of Denmark.
To my American friends,
I love you dearly, but if you joke about the annexation of Canada like it's not deadly fucking serious, I have no issue with dropping your ass. That Damn Frank got a block. I have a feeling that he won't be the last.
This is an invasion we're talking about. An unlawful imposition of one country's will against another.
If you think we'll lie back and just take it, you don't know anything about us.
I like to think that I choose my friends carefully. I call you friends because you are compassionate and strive for kindness and acceptance. I hope y'all don't let me down.
Hey, fedi? Chuck Schumer is old and sucks, but Bernie Sanders is even older and is fighting like hell. And AOC is great and young, but Lauren Boebert is young and awful.
It's not the age, my friends. It's the policies. Don't like racism or sexism? Cool. Don't do ageism either.
FREE PATREON It started with joking about it.
Today, the US President told his military to make plans to invade, by force, Panama.
He announced his plans to annex Greenland - in front of the NATO head.
He said the only way out for Canada was to become part of the U.S.
This is not a joke.
War is coming.
Dude. Urban Forestry job in Boston accepting applicants, salaried ($62k) and benefits, plant trees and talk about trees and learn about trees and tend trees. Trees!!!

I never ever thought I could develop such a uhh.. "dislike" against the US (gov)..
In the past i've always defended it and living there was my dream but it's all ruined by a hand full of people
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the Americans here on the Fedi and I only want the best for you
But with all that's happening right now in the United States, it's no longer a local issue but a global
Big time..
We need to unite together to fight the fascist overtake, I don't see what else we can do
The arXiv is where we keep papers on math, physics, etc. It's run by Cornell University.
It seems unlikely that the US government would demand that Cornell destroy the arXiv. But the many copies of the arXiv around the world were shut down on September 15, 2024, and it seems that now all the data resides in the US.
If anyone wants to back up the arXiv, they should go here:
https://info.arxiv.org/help/bulk_data_s3.html
The complete arXiv was 2.7 terabytes in March 2023, and growing at about 100 gigabytes a month.

Because it was time, I have -- finally! -- created a FAQ for the church, to answer most of the questions that come up whenever I mention that indeed, I own a church. The FAQ also has lots of pictures so you can see what it looks like now. Check it out:
Whatever · The Church FAQA few years ago, we bought a church building. Since then, every time I mention it online and/or on social media, someone always responds, “wait, you bought a church, what” and then asks…

This is an absolute must-read from Wired, which has been far ahead of Big Journalism on the Musk-Trump takeover of your most personal data -- to be used for their corrupt takeover of, well, everything they can grab.
Wired has an inexpensive paywall and is worth every dime.
