A group in the UK that I'm hugely interested in are Library Of Things.

At a very basic level, they offer products such as power tools for rental rather than ownership.

But it's a little bit more than that:

They have a very clear vision, which is centred around *everybody* in a neighbourhood having access to quality tools, toys and technologies, reducing waste, and also *repairing* tools rather than landfilling them and buying new ones.

On top of that: they run workshops on how to use the tools etc; this is not a profit-driven venture.

I don't think they're on Mastodon, so I'm going to take this opportunity, given everything I've been talking about this morning, to give them a little shout-out.

If you're in a position to promote them, that would be great.

"Carbon offsets for Tesla cars generated billions in carbon offsets for Elon Musk, and allowed SUVs to escape regulations that would otherwise have seen them pulled from the market." Here's @pluralistic , nearly a year ago, explaining why you should stay away from carbon offset, and demand actual emissions reduction instead. https://pluralistic.net/2023/10/31/carbon-upsets/#big-tradeoff

"As vice-president, Harris was handed a daunting mission at the onset of her term: to address the “root causes” of migration from the northern triangle countries of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. But at no point was she put in charge of border policy. That is the responsibility of the Homeland Security secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, who was with Harris when she visited the border in June 2021, three months after she was given the assignment."

Gochujiang pork shoulder andhoney mustard chicken skewers

The European Union has a mix of 17 kinds of tanks, 20 types of planes, and 27 different military offices. The U.S., on the other hand, has just one military headquarters and fewer kinds of tanks and planes. If European countries shared their military resources and worked together more, they might be stronger within NATO and less reliant on the U.S. So, the big question is: Should the EU team up for its own defense and foreign policies, maybe even start a European army?

prepare for a US'less NATO is a better plan.

Lots of little capillaries in outer ear, they bleed profusely when cut. Should have used a bigger sponge to get some 'blood' on his crisp white shirt when Trump pressed it to his ear for the Hero Shot.

@weezmgk @CStamp This was the part that stuck out to me: Trump is claiming there was so much blood, but not a speck on that white shirt collar. In other words, the wound had already clotted by the time he stood up.

The real magic of the fediverse:
no vanity, no algos, no overlords.

- No vanity: We don't chase follower counts, we connect for genuine interactions.

- No algos: Just real people and genuinely funny memes.

- No overlords: The protocol is the authority, not some corporation.

Who would have thought Facebook would embrace the open ActivityPub protocol back in 2018 when it was published?

It's proof that the fediverse is a force to be reckoned with. ✨

Sometimes you want to boost something standing up and applauding.
I am new to Mastodon, so I cannot be taken so seriously; however, I ask myself if Mastodon could get money from ads, and use that money to hire more programmers.

Now comes something I believe, to use ads' money to hire sociologists and psychologists, aiming the promotion of necessary public debates - like the two current wars and other social issues - keeping positive and respectful debates.

I believe Mastodon will become the de-facto social network. We need money to make it happen.

I just saw a post over at Substack where someone reported via their 15 yr old daughter that the Swifties are mobilizing to figure out how create & share QR codes at every Taylor Swift concert to both register to vote and donate to Harris's campaign. I bet there will be a movement to volunteer among these young folks too.

Who knows on the cats but he definitely has something against women.

At any rate, it’s always really something to me when someone in the party who won’t feed kids or give them healthcare and wants to deny them an education and basic rights goes after Democrats for being “anti-family.” Anti-family is this guy and his horrifying old man running mate.
