The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was to convince the world that hierarchy is the opposite of chaos.

Reminder: the Prime Day strike is Monday July 15 and Tuesday July 16. Amazon is going to offer some incredible deals on those two days, while continuing to treat its workers badly. Don't take the bait! Support the worker strike by refusing to buy from Amazon for the next two days.

Random observations: before cars, street intersections were places you were likely to have social interactions with your neighbors.

so, yesterday, i put together a list of nazi instances i had blocked. that post has been boosted over 60 times. that's cool, i'm glad i did something useful.

but i can't do that kind of thing if i can't eat. my post about needing money for food has been boosted ten times.

if you appreciate and value the work i put into notifying everyone about where the fash are and you have some money to spare, please pay me.

if you can't give, please always boost.

Don't cross a picket line

When Google suggests news stories on my phone, it constantly recommends horrifying sites.

You like politics? Surely you read Breitbart, RT, and Fox News. You're interested in climate change? Surely you want transparent climate change denialism. You've been reading about Mastodon? Surely you need articles that promote white supremacy and misspell "Mastadon."

If this is what I see, what is recommended to actual Republicans? Algorithms are pushing systematic hate and lies.

Alcanivorax borkumensis is a microbe which digests crude oil. It prefers to live in oxygen-rich saltwater and is very helpful in cleaning up oil spills in ocean and coastal regions.

With enough nitrogen and phosphorus to act as fertiliser for them, these bacteria can become the dominant microbes in a contaminated area. They're just one of at least 7 known species which live off hydrocarbons, but they're probably the most prolific.

Just another of Earth's biological reflexes to help curb the damage which humans are capable of in their hubris.

"SMART (surveillance marketed as revolutionary technology)"

That's a great acronym!

When Dungeons & Dragons led Tolkien's racist orcs to the US, they attacked new targets. Let's talk model minorities, dehumanization, uncomfortable half-orcs, poor excuses … and how gamers and designers can reclaim and rehabilitate orcs. https://jamesmendezhodes.com/blog/2019/6/30/orcs-britons-and-the-martial-race-myth-part-ii-theyre-not-human

Twitter cross posters pls do not

Seeing news results on @Google@twitter.com side by side with @DuckDuckGo@twitter.com really highlights the way Google's algorithms promote hate.
