This could be your script for doctors if they are complying in advance re: contraception, hormone replacement.

We're all taught the ethics of medicine -- beneficence, nonmaleficence, justice, autonomy.

Fiduciary responsibility to our patient first.

Granted this shouldve been done for wearing a mask in healthcare settings.

"With all due respect and keeping in mind you've been there for me in the past, keeping in mind that the first ethical code of resisting fascism is to not comply in advance, and your medical ethical responsibilities to me as a patient re: beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, & autonomy...

Why comply in advance with a decision you know will harm me?"

"Watch this—I'll pound my hand against my chest and then fling out my right arm, palm flat, just like Hitler, and I'll practically mouth the words 'Sieg Heil!', and then I'll do it AGAIN exactly the same way, and the press still won't be sure it was a Nazi salute."

In the last few weeks Social Web Foundation partner Meta has:

💀 Donated $1 million to the inauguration fund of the new fascist dictator
💀 Fired its fact-checkers
💀 Changed its hate-speech rules to allow calling women "household objects", Mexicans "pieces of shit" and trans folk "mentally ill"
💀 Killed its DEI programs
💀 Made its workplaces more hostile to trans employees
💀 Hosted an "AI Hitler"
💀 Censored links to fellow Social Web Foundation partner Pixelfed
💀 Subjected users to force-follows of the rulers of the fascist regime
💀 Suppressed searches of Democrat-associated topics

Yet the Social Web Foundation continues to accept Meta as a partner in good standing, and more to the point, continues to accept Meta's money. And the SWICG - The WC3's ActivityPub working group - continues to offer Meta a seat at the table for discussions on the future of the fediverse. Why?

Well, at least there is this: "Expungement is a judicial remedy that is rarely granted by the court and cannot be granted within the Department of Justice or by the President. Please also be aware that if you were to be granted a presidential pardon, the pardoned offense would not be removed from your criminal record."

I use dark humor but think an elected U.S. official talking about using the power of the state to attack a religious official for what they preach is unacceptable, even ask a “joke.” Or, if it’s okay, then PURELY in that spirit of fun: Mike Collins would look spectacular lying in state.

George #Orwell’s 1940 review of Mein Kampf is an astounding read. It is very educational to study primary literature from just before historical events. In here we read that up to 1939 Hitler was regarded rather favorably by many, for reasons we might recognize today. Frightening: https://bookmarks.reviews/george-orwells-1940-review-of-mein-kampf/

Trump Tech Requests - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2PIco48G4k Sarah Cooper is brilliant.

Once upon a time there was a healthy news media with journalists who safeguarded the truth. Then the billionaires bought all the corporate media and the journalists had a choice, toe the line or be silenced. Most compromised their ideals, however a few branched out to new corporate platforms to continue their work.

But the billionaires were smarter. They owned the new platforms too, and when the time came, once all the renegade journalists had been herded together, they too were silenced.

It has been entirely too long since we’ve had new Dicktown episodes

Those were 60's ways to leave your lover.

I can confirm this... 👇👨‍💻🤓 it's like a corollary of software engineering...

https://chaos.social/@lindworm/113221623457269842

Software development:
- 60% thinking about what you want to achieve, boundaries, security implication, designing workflow, designing dataflow
- 30% testing, research, testing again
- 10% writing code

Software development reality:
"Ey we gave you an assignment 5min ago, why aren't you coding?"

I think it's time to rewatch Fringe.

The Israeli genociders crawl from Gaza to the West Bank

Report: Israel's biggest operation in the West Bank this year is blocking ambulances from reaching Palestinians who are "bleeding out in the streets", aka, dying.

"Israeli forces arrested 64" (the tally now more than the 90 released in the deal).

https://aje.io/ibkb8d?update=3457780

At least 10 were killed, dozens wounded in the Jenin raid by Israeli troops & Apache attack helicopters, etc.
