Let me summarise the article for you:

Cops: Cancel the fireworks because the union is striking!

Unions: The trains will be running as normal, all it takes is a little staffing adjustment.

Business: The unions are threatening to shutdown the fireworks! It will be a disaster! How dare they!!!

I wonder which one of these viewpoints is correct…

"Elon Musk has caused outrage in Berlin after appearing to endorse the far-right, anti-immigrant Alternative für Deutschland.

Musk, who has been named by Donald Trump to co-lead a commission aimed at reducing the size of the US federal government, wrote on his social media platform X: “Only the AfD can save Germany.”"

Elon Musk is becoming a one-man rogue state – it’s time we reined him in

The sheer immorality of any one person possessing so much wealth is obvious to most people with basic amounts of empathy. But when it comes to Musk and the other 14 people worth more than $100bn, the morality of it is almost a secondary concern. Their individual wealth is a society-distorting threat ...

Vanuatu has been raised to Level 3 DO NOT TRAVEL by the US State Department

Updated to a Level 3 due to infrastructure damage from an earthquake.

The U.S. Department of State advises U.S. citizens to reconsider travel to Vanuatu following the December 17, 2024, earthquake, which caused significant damage to local infrastructure. The U.S. government’s ability to provide emergency assistance to U.S. citizens in Vanuatu is limited, and departure options have been disrupted. Within Vanuatu, numerous buildings sustained severe damage, and curfews are in effect in some areas. (continued)

I'm kind of heartbroken. We didn't notice the swelling on the site until Monday, when we took him in. I hope we bought him some good time before he leaves us....😭

When it comes to sentiment over A.I., LinkedIn is the polar opposite of the Fediverse.

LinkedIn lunatics think A.I. will solve all problems, bake them a cake, and usher in a messianic new age.

I don’t know how far A.I. will go, but typically with anything – if both your aunt and your cab driver are hyped about it, that’s the sign things will be over soon.

Living in the Pacific Northwest, ferries are a fact of life - there's so much water around it's often the fastest way to get somewhere.

But here and there you hear someone pronounce it "furry boat".

There's a BIG difference.

A ferry boat is what I take to get to the office.

A furry boat is... this.
Anthopomorphic boat-creature modeled on the Washington State car ferries. It's green and white matching the WSF livery, lying on its stomach on an inflatable pool float. The car deck can be seen through the critter's open mouth. The eyes are the boarding doors into the main passenger cabin, and the ears are bridge wings. The bridge is sitting on top of its head like a hat. The twin smokestacks amidships protrude from the buttocks. The Seattle skyline and Space Needle can be seen in the background.

@Piousunyn Yeah, I've been predicting a messy divorce eventually, but now I'm not sure. I see them more as rivals than allies. That is, I would have thought 45 would resent Musk being richer and perhaps more powerful than he is. It just doesn't quite track with 45's personality IMO. I suppose as long as the relationship is mutually beneficial, 45 will stick with him. But the moment it isn't, Musk is history.

There are different accounts of the MAGA project and what it seeks to accomplish and control.

Today it’s about money and wealth. Other days it’s about opportunity. Still other days it’s about the body.

At the root of all this, though, it’s about knowledge. What counts as truth, who gets to arbitrate, what is “natural” and what is “alien.”

That’s the essence of all authoritarianism. Dominate the mind and the rest will follow.

Resist much, obey little.
