If the Paris terrorist attack had been perpetrated by a Muslim extremist, the media would be all over it.But it was - per the Evening Standard - a "far right racist fanatic" who had previously attacked two Sudanese refugees with a sabre and had just been released from prison awaiting trial.Therefore, the media cycle has moved on. It seems like the outrage is not really about the victims, but about what is the terrorist's background.

Those who pay Musk $8 are directly funding far right disinformation and propaganda. Twitter's verification badge is now a badge of dishonour.#Twitter #Musk #disinformation

Twitter has reinstated the account of former British footballer and conspiracy theorist David Icke, which had been suspended in 2020 for spreading pandemic disinformation. Icke believes that a race of alien reptiles landed on earth in prehistoric times and now rules the world. This secret elite feeds on humans' negative energy and controls global organizations such as the UN. But journalists reporting on the truth get banned.#Twitter #Musk #disinformation #conspiracy

Lula has given a televised address calling the attack in Brasilia “barbarism” and assuring that everyone involved will be "found and punished". He also said that "The police didn’t do anything at all. They just let the protesters in."He called the rioters "fanatic fascists".#Brazilhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2023/jan/08/brazils-presidential-palace-and-supreme-court-stormed-by-pro-bolsonaro-supporters-live

@ada for most people Mastodon is the entry point into the fediverse, so I'm assuming most people I follow are actually using Mastodon. If they're not, they can specify in the comments.

Las Vegas hotels use a "window trick", an optical illusion to "shrink" the size of massive buildings and make them look less intimidating. I compare this style to Hong Kong's "monster building" and other residential buildings.Disclaimer: these are just my personal opinions and extemporaneous thoughts, there's no need to get upset about them. https://www.schedium.net/2023/01/the-window-trick-of-las-vegas-hotels.html?m=1

Apple complies. Many corporations have proven over and over again that they are fine with dictatorship as long as they can make a profit. If the next coup succeeds in the US, Apple will surely be as "apolitical" and compliant as it has been in China. This is the company that in the 80s was making ads warning that IBM's market dominance would lead to an Orwellian dystopia. And now they're aiding a dystopian surveillance dictatorship. #Apple #Chinahttps://techcrunch.com/2023/02/02/damus-pulled-from-apples-app-store-in-china-after-two-days/?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9kdWNrZHVja2dvLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAH-TCu5qR0qIMMhLu9uePJ2hVPXDK4fJgq9lNd36kZbUE7qdVpSi9xXA4W5QlB2bX0KBhnm5MzpaHaOhw-mU3fma7yefdCx_tKoAtRrPcHApVE7pbNHVMC-mXFTtStGnyTTaecD08rtZLsY24lJTSu4bwGdghBtD0v1JWdICotGb

Florida Gov. Ron DeFascist "will soon take control of Walt Disney World’s self-governing district after Senate Republicans approved a bill Friday punishing the company over its opposition to the law critics call “Don’t Say Gay.” "Beware, dear corporations. If you fund the fascist mafia, they will own you.

@stopgopfox I use several ones. Mainly Mastodon, LinkedIn, Tumblr, WT Social. I just can't commit to Mastodon because of all the changes ppl have been proposing and I'm quite skeptical about.

The BBC, which mainstreamed Nigel Farage and the far right, is going to scold Gary Lineker for the following comments on the UK's immigration policy:"There is no huge influx. We take far fewer refugees than other major European countries. This is just an immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people in language that is not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the 30s"Free speech, but only if it's speech that doesn't offend the far right#Lineker https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/mar/08/gary-lineker-bbc-uk-asylum-policy-nazi-germany-match-of-the-day-presenter

Apparently the North Carolina Supreme Court is poised to strike down the electoral districts which it previously approved and which resulted in a 7-7 split between Dems and GQP. Now it wants to replace them with the heavily gerrymandered maps drawn by the GQP -controlled legislature which would give a 11-3 advantage to Republicans#Democracy #Politics #US https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/mar/14/north-carolina-court-gerrymandering-case-voting-rights#:~:text=the%20North%20Carolina%20court%20appears%20poised%20to%20overrule%20itself%20and%20get%20rid%20of%20congressional%20and%20state%20legislative%20districts%20it%20approved%20last%20year.%20The%20GOP%2Ddrawn%20map%20could%20have%20produced%20a%2011%2D3%20advantage%20for%20Republicans%20in%20the%20congressional%20delegation%2C%20but%20the%20replacement%20ones%20resulted%20in%20a%207%2D7%20split.
