Today I learned mastodon (AP)
TIL After the US Navy lost the USS Thresher in 1963, it instituted a quality assurance program called SUBSAFE for its submarines. As a result they went from losing 16 submarines to non-combat reasons in the 48 years before, to losing only the USS Scorpion (which wasn’t SUBSAFE certified) since 1963.

Nach Ansicht von SPD-Chefin Saskia Esken sollte sich die Bundesregierung von Elon Musks Kommunikationsplattform X zurückziehen. Es sei wichtig, dass die EU über das sogenannte Gesetz über digitale Dienste «die Daumenschrauben» gegenüber der Plattform anziehe, sagte Esken dem «Handelsblatt». «Ebenso notwendig wäre es, dass Bundesregierung und Europäische Union sich endlich alternativen Plattformen für ihre Kurznachrichten-Kommunikation suchen und X nicht weiter füttern.»

I support the constitutional amendment to overturn the #SCOTUS #immunity decision.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-joint-resolution/193/text

But it will be a long slog. The amendment process is slow and difficult by design. That's not a reason to give up. It's a reason to start immediately.

The proposed amendment also bars presidential self-pardon. A much-needed step. I wish it went one step further and barred corrupt pardons, that is, pardons of the president's accomplices and co-conspirators.

Olympic opening ceremony prompts Elon Musk to opine, "Christianity has become toothless."


“Why, Elon! I didn’t know you cared!” ~ Jesus

Elon Musk joined a number of right-wing pundits including Harrison Butker to vent their fury at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony.

The ceremony featured a number of drag-style performances, but the final scene of a drag-themed runway performance that drew striking resemblance to the Leonardo Di Vinci’s painting The Last Supper, is what really had MAGA world in a fit. The painting is known for its portrayal of Christ and his apostles as Jesus reveals one of them will betray him.

The number of transgender and drag queens in the performance offended many online, with Elon Musk posting on X that the performance “was extremely disrespectful to Christians.” Musk is a self-described “cultural Christian.”

I'm looking for a #pixelfed instance that is welcoming to and suitable for #musicians.

I like mastodon for text and the occasional picture but I think for images and (short) videos pixelfed is a better match.

I want to make posts about what I do as a musician, about recordings and gigs. So the instance has to be OK with this kind of self promotion.

Any ideas?

pixelfed.social is a general instance, operated by me (the pixelfed dev)

I'm not aware of any musician focused instances, but you can recommend pixelfed.social and let ppl know they can migrate to other servers should a better one become available!

If you have any questions or feedback about the platform, please let me know!
Werner Zangerle mastodon (AP)
@dansup Thanks for answering! I just signed up to pixelfed.social. What does count as "excessive advertising"? I hope me posting about my work and gigs is ok.

The verb "read" in some languages. Verbs have heaps of different forms of course, I have used the most common dictionary form. For English that's the infinitive, for Greek the 1. person singular, some are verbal nouns, etc.

This is where I get out of my depth. Wiktionary says the purple ones go back to PIE *leg- and the brown ones to PIE *les-. Were these two related? Surely they must have been? But I'm not sure. Any real linguists who can help put?

“The sudden ascendance of Harris, the daughter of an Indian-born mother and Jamaican-born father, has delivered a jolt of optimism to many Black and Indian-American Texans, who are more likely to vote for a Democrat.” https://www.texastribune.org/2024/07/25/kamala-harris-texas-voters-black-indian-asian/

“Pooja Sethi, an Indian American who runs the Travis County Democratic Party in Austin, said she had not even finished reading Biden’s letter announcing his decision to drop out of the race on Sunday, when her phone started pinging with text messages from people as young as 15 and as old as 80 asking how to get involved in the campaign.”
Gabe Ortíz mastodon (AP)
“There are at least 250,000 South Asians who are registered to vote in Texas, with the total population of eligible voters ‘closer to 400,000,’ said Rish Oberoi, the Texas state director of the Indian American Impact Fund. That outpaces the roughly 215,000-vote margin that decided the 2018 election between U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Democrat Beto O’Rourke.”

The 78-year old convicted felon is afeared of getting the perp treatment from The Prosecutor, Vice President Kamala Harris. So much for the macho-man schtick.

Grandpa Sundowner knows he’s outmatched. He just doesn’t know what to do about it.

Yes quite possibly he could get away with making the argument that he's not an agent of the Republican even after saying that he was donating millions of dollars towards getting them elected, but hopefully the court of public opinion will impose sanctions on him perhaps.
TerpieCat mastodon (AP)
I don't believe anyone's ever been deemed to be an agent of a candidate under this statute simply by virtue of endorsing and/or donating to that candidate. And unfortunately, given the number of people who continue to post on the hellsite, I don't have a high degree of confidence in the court of public opinion.
