Weird.

Good ol’ Fred.

Neumann, the terrorism expert, wrote: “After 25 years in this ‘business’ you think nothing could surprise you anymore. But a 50-year-old Saudi ex-Muslim who lives in East Germany, loves the AfD and wants to punish Germany for its tolerance towards Islamists — that really wasn’t on my radar."

Propaganda works. It’s that simple.

Whoo00ooo!! Saw Whet! My man! Well earned!

Well . . . yes

Yeah you’re right, it’s kinda great.

raw milk issues aside, milk isn’t necessarily bad for cats but it has to be watered down, they don’t do well with it "straight’.

Ssssssssssssure. Yes. Yes it was.

First off, total coincidence, secondly the guy totally whiffed it.

For a long time, scientists believed the first humans to arrive in the Americas soon killed off these giant ground sloths through hunting, along with many other massive animals like mastodons, saber-toothed cats and dire wolves that once roamed North and South America.

But new research from several sites is starting to suggest that people came to the Americas earlier — perhaps far earlier — than once thought. These findings hint at a remarkably different life for these early Americans, one in which they may have spent millennia sharing prehistoric savannas and wetlands with enormous beasts.

“There was this idea that humans arrived and killed everything off very quickly — what’s called ‘Pleistocene overkill,'” said Daniel Odess, an archaeologist at White Sands National Park in New Mexico. But new discoveries suggest that “humans were existing alongside these animals for at least 10,000 years, without making them go extinct.”

It’s true. There was a time before the Complete Fucking Assholes showed up.

If you know anyone still on Xitter, kick them in the huevos.

And drugs. The guy’s taking everything.

It’s such a miracle becuase the world gave it all of their content for free.

At least in part.

According to this, as of Jan 2024 there were 14 Billion videos on Yt. So effectively a dollar and change to host a video for all YT users.

Obviously it doesn’t work like that, but if the above commenter’s point was that I, a content creator, host my video and manage my own costs, and that video is linked via whatever federation, I can monetize and limit as needed as a creator, thus popular videos get paid to host, and unpopular videos are hosted for more or less table stakes because they’re only getting X hits per Month.

Some kind of WordPress-like container with a built-in safety switch for overages and - hey presto. Well, it’s a thought anyway.

I dunno, it seems do-able, even if the Great Unwashed are going to stick with YT and getting ads up the wazoo to see “I Stuffed My Face In A Fusion Reactor - Watch What Happens Next” and the like.

What’s the Fediverse YouTube? ooof. that’s a tough nut.

An independent journalist posting a photo of Mangione with his family also received a DMCA request — from a lawyer claiming to represent a family member holding the copyright — even though the image was “originally posted on the campaign website of Maryland assemblymember Nino Mangione.” That site apparently deleted the image and turned around to threaten anyone using it now which is… not how fair use works. But at least this request can claim they have a “good faith” claim, though the system probably shouldn’t reward people for trying to retroactively claim rights after they try to memory-hole their internet history.

lol

I hate it when a sneeze gets stuck up there!

Hey, got your essential worker right here. Tax the rich, improve the infrastructure and subsidize renewables already you corporatist shitbags.
