  • Trump to sign executive orders proclaiming there are only two biological sexes, halting diversity programs

    Jump

  • If you missed it in the article:

    The order... directs the State Department... to “ensure that official government documents, including passports and visas, reflect sex accurately,” one of the officials said.

    That's fucking terrible and possibly detrimental for the mental health of trans people.

    The fact that this is a real image is infuriating

  • While I agree it looks like apathy has set in, maybe Luigi can be seen as a catalyst for change through action.

    Godspeed my USian neighbours.

  • Checked for you: cat was seven, which I believe is around half their lifespan. I didn't look at the rest of it; just fuck those people for not taking his health seriously.

    As a Canadian, I am deeply ashamed and apologize profusely.

  • Proton is dead (for me). Let's collect and discuss alternatives! ✊🛡

    Jump

  • Someone in the comments there make a good point:

    It is so disingenuous to say "last year" when it was a little more than a month ago.

    His excuse that the social media team posted it from the official account instead of his account is farcical. This whole thing is too bad a taste in my mouth.

  • Meta’s pivot to the right sparks boycotts and a user exodus

    Jump

  • Pixelfed user count has gone vertical.

  • Meta has changed their ToS. Prior, you could not accuse someone of being mentally ill without consequence. Now there is an exception allowing shitty people to accuse someone of being mentally ill if they are gay or trans. It's seriously fucked up.

    Also, Mark Zuckerberg, the ostrich fucker, removed the fact checker from Meta services.

  • Proton CEO embraces Trump for "standing up for the little guys"

    Jump

  • Nonetheless is one word :)

    I cannot think of a free VPN that doesn't suck; does anyone has suggestions outside of Proton for that, please?

  • How to delete Facebook, Instagram, and Threads | TechCrunch

  • I turfed FB in 2015 as well (didn't bother with the other stuff).

    But now I'm worried I deactivated it and didn't delete.... I cannot remember.

    If it's just deactivated-- I wonder if it's better to just leave it a greyed out graveyard, than to reactivate it just to delete. I feel reactivating would give it more information even, as I would be on a different device. It's been dead a decade.

    What do people suggest?

  • Moose are revered and they are to be respected!! They can stomp your face effortlessly.

    I believe Aboriginal cultures have many deep ties with the moose. I think some people hunt and eat them, but it's not really a thing on a menu where I am (urban west coast), and is moreso a maritime/Newfoundland menu thing.

    Regardless, we build many statues to them: (I have only seen one of these in person [top right, Deer Lake Newfoundland].)

    Image transcription: Five moose statues from around Canada. Moose are 2m or 8 6.5-7 feet tall (at the shoulder), so these are some bigass sculptures. One, which was a memorial for a man who died of cancer, is now covered in bras for breast cancer awareness/fundraising.

    Edit: converting metres to feet is hard to do in my head.

  • Lemmy, you show as usual that you cannot even basic math. You're not entitled to criticize capitalism until you learn how to count. You sound stupid.

    Basic math: He died 30 years ago....

    Robert Norman Ross October 29, 1942 – July 4, 1995

    "was an American painter and art instructor who created and hosted The Joy of Painting, an instructional television program that aired from 1983 to 1994 on PBS in the United States, CBC in Canada, and similar channels in Latin America, Europe and elsewhere." --- Wikipedia

  • Transcription: political cartoon style in a single pane:

    Three men in a car, the front holds JD Vance in the passenger's seat and Elon Musk in the driver's seat. A strap around the front seat secures a child's toy steering wheel, which faces into the back. Trump sits in back seat, clutching the wheel.

    Text on image: "So cute! He thinks he's steering!.."

  • Are Beavers really cute? The teeth of these large water rodents are orange because they are full of iron; these teeth never stop growing.

    But if you are being serious, women don't really like being reduced to names that refer to their pudendum. It is objectifying.

    Edit: just realized which sub this is posted in. Oh well, think of the vocab word "Pudendum" as my Xmas gift to you. (Refers to a woman's external genitals, ie. vulva.)

    1st pane: Mouse with a red balloon, saying: "Every day is a good day when you have a balloon".

    2nd pane: balloon pops "POP"

    3rd pane: Mouse laying down on couch, under a blanket, with the shades drawn-- his facial hair is coming in.

  • Globe and Mail is a sensationalist rag with no ethics. They put footage online of a fourteen year old girl being stabbed to death in a school before the cops made them take it down. Don't give them clicks.
