Yep, they could use a refresher on communication skills and how to use email as well.
Everything about this place is a wreck. I assumed this was just a traffic court window having been here years ago to contest a traffic citation.

People lied in videos about covid and actual elections, youtube removed them.
Youtube is putting all the liars back up on youtube.
Youtube is a Water Treatment Plant that forces sewage back into your bathroom, up through the toilet.
Youtube is a fecal infection.

This is nuts. I didn't know such desperation and isolation existed on such a large scale. We have failed as a society.

Erfüllen wird sich die Liste sich wohl nicht.
Angesicht der Lethargie der Massen, obwohl das Thema schon sehr lange in der Öffentlichkeit ist und der Klimawandel seit Jahren nicht mehr zu ignorieren ist, bin ich da desillusioniert.
Die Zeit ist mittlerweile viel zu knapp, einen Kollaps noch abzuwenden.
Die Frage ist nicht mehr ob, sondern wann der #SocialCollapse eintritt. Bis dahin werde ich mir noch eine schöne Zeit machen im Rahmen meines eigenen Gewissens. -
Now that Twitter is a Junkyard, I Need a Way to Deal with the Twitter Posts Cited on this Blog
“Live, ongoing connections to people – not your old posts or your identifiers – impose the highest switching costs for any social media service,” argues Cory Doctorow in a recent post. Well, yeah, but hear me out.
I’ve abandoned my Twitter account, for all the obvious reasons, but for the sake of good housekeeping on this WordPress site I haven’t deleted it . In the years when I was active on Twitter, I cited and linked to my own tweets in a number of blog posts here, especially those having to do with mining around the Lake Superior region and FOIA production. Now I am looking for some way to preserve those tweets before they disappear or stop working, as Musk continues to break the thing he bought.
Of course, I should never have counted on it, but I did.
One answer is to go back through all my posts and convert the tweets into screenshots. Do I have to settle for that? It sounds like dreary work; it also wouldn’t really do the trick. Some of the tweets cited on this blog are parts of longer threads, where I am developing an argument or describing the public record, and ideally I would like to allow readers to click through and read the whole thread, ideally some place other than Twitter. I would also want any media included with those tweets to carry over.
I understand that I can use Porto to import the whole Twitter works to Bluesky, and I may end up doing that, but then I will still have to go back through all my posts and change those links to Bluesky. More dreary work. Besides, I have serious qualms about Bluesky: it just looks like Zombie Twitter to me, the same online strivers hopped up on dopamine and chasing the elusive brass ring. My qualms only deepen when I read people like Doctorow or L. Rhodes.
The recent announcement of Series A funding by Blockchain Capital makes noises about sharing Bluesky’s user-first design philosophy that “empowers the people,” but talk from venture capitalists about power and people should always be viewed with suspicion, or dismissed outright, as should their promise not to “hyperfinancialize the social experience,” as if the financialization of social experience is not bad enough, morally, socially, politically, and as if there is a bright line between financialization and hyperfinancialization that won’t eventually be crossed.
All that means that relying on Bluesky could land me in this same situation a few years down the road. Eventually, the walls will go up, and (to borrow Doctorow’s metaphor) there won’t be any fire exits.
I see that Shawn Hooper has developed a WordPress plugin that will import a Twitter archive to WordPress. While I am not sure I am technically competent to implement it (probably not! not my bailiwick at all), it looks promising, and maybe despite my incompetence I can figure it out or find someone to help me figure it out.
Essentially what I am looking for is an effective way to host those old tweets right here, on WordPress. Self-hosting, self-reliance, or mutual reliance that allows people to opt out, wherever possible, of the financializing and hyperfinancializing of the social web and social experience, looks like the only viable way forward.

CW: societal collapse perpetrated by far right government
Six Months in a #NeoliberalDystopia: #SocialCannibalism versus #MutualAid and #Resistance in #Argentina
In December 2023, #JavierMilei came to power in Argentina, introducing sweeping deregulation and #austerity measures. Promising to crush social movements in the name of unfettered #capitalism, his administration is paving the way for complete #socialCollapse and the emergence of narco-violence on a mass scale.

Spätestens in 25-30 Jahren: Zusammengebrochene Lieferketten, Social Collapse, kaputte Infrastruktur, tote Ackerböden und regelmäßige Wetterkatastrophen.

Mit diesen Kompensationszahlungen belügen sich auch scheinbar intelligente Menschen und übersehen gerne, dass es bei Wiederaufforstung Jahrzehnte braucht, bis nennenswert CO² kompensiert wird.

Was soll denn daran arrogant sein?
Hätten die Meisten die Radikalität und Unumkehrbarkeit des Klimawandels begriffen, wären bei jeder Klimademo Millionen auf der Strasse, statt sich über Verhältnismässigkeit von Protestaktionen zu zerstreiten. Es würden bundesweite Generalstreiks stattfinden, um die Politik endlich zum Handeln zu zwingen.
Die Meisten haben noch gar nichts von dem begriffen, was auf sie zukommt.

Bis dahin werden größere Städte eh nicht mehr bewohnt sein, da sie aufgrund zusammengebrochener Lieferketten nicht in der Lage sind, die Bevölkerung zu ernähren. #SocialCollapse -
@Miriamm The road to fascism and climate collaps is lined with moderates and people on the internet telling you to stop overreacting.

I found this article both fascinating and frightening. The fact that America is overproducing elites at the expense of everyone else is not sustainable. Either external forces will cause a reset (a massive world war) or internal forces will (economic collapse, civil war). But what cannot go on forever will stop eventually, and we are getting to the precipice far faster than we may realize.

Einen guten Morgen!
Mein Enkel hat nach dem Stand der aktuellen Klimaentwicklung wohl kaum eine Chance, mein jetziges Alter zu erreichen.
Solange wir nicht ALLE spontan auf jede f`*cking schice Klimademo in der Nähe fahren, haben wir nicht ansatzweise kapiert, was schon in den nächsten 15 - 25 Jahren auf uns zukommt.

CW: This is a brutal series about seeking TANF cash assistance benefits. These people exist, they need help. These programs don't work. Our society is collapsing. US is more and more a failed state. Our #SafetyNet is getting worse and worse.

I try to find how I can keep going.
For me a huge part of keeping going is to try and change things for the better.

Through trial and error and repeat visits to ER, primary care, and specialists, and a huge amount of self-study and observation, we painfully eek our way to understanding what is happening. We are finding that these symptoms are not mysterious. We are finding that trained professionals who have years of school and experience should already know what we've had to learn through painful self study. I have to wonder how long they think they can fųçk around before finally finding out.#SocialCollapse

We went last night to pick up medications and found them closed. Today we called the other pharmacy on the sign, it's closed. Called the other Walgreens in Santa Fe and it is closed. The other pharmacy listed is about an hour away. If we were feeling better, and Walgreens is reimbursing for mileage, maybe that can work. We used to be able to fill prescriptions a week in advance. They have cut us back to filling prescriptions three days in advance. This isn't working.

McKay, the charitable toots from earlier in the thread are taking a turn. Going on 6 hours here. Going stir crazy. A "lean staff" is apparently quite the understatement. I'm beginning to wonder where I am and I want to go outside to see if everything is still out there. I also get the feeling that when the medical system can't sell you a quick fix, they hang you out to writhe in the wind.
