'Rate limit exceeded;' Twitter down for thousands of users worldwide

I don’t think it’s planned at that level, it’s just people like Elon think they deserve and earned everything they have; and the alt-right preachers tell them that they have it because god deems you worthy. It becomes a big circlejerk and then hen you have the Elon’s drinking that flavor-aid.

But, and I mean this, before 2000 you could still get the information; you just had to put more effort into obtaining it. That was obviously a barrier too high for many, but it was not unfindable or inaccessible.

Russia court sentences Alexey Navalny, jailed opposition leader and Putin critic, to 19 more years in prison

Reply in thread

I’m not calling you a liar, but maybe misinformed.

Russia's prominent jailed opposition figure Alexei Navalny has lost an appeal against a nine-year prison term, but not before launching a scathing attack on the war in Ukraine.
Condemning Vladimir Putin's war as stupid, he said it was "like your courts, built entirely on lies".

"You will suffer a historic defeat in this stupid war that you started. It has no purpose or meaning. Why are we fighting a war?" he said.

3rd party app for Reddit, Boost, is still functioning well after July 1st

When the API shut off early, Apollo dev u/iamthatis (@[email protected]) revoked his token so I cannot see any of this; but I’m wondering if reddit isn’t pulling a silent reversal of this to stem the bleeding of users and content. There is a lot of useful stuff that has been deleted. The AMA staff resigning and all the stuff migrating to fedi. No matter how much f-u/spez tries to shout “This is fine”; the building is still burning all around him.

Bet they left turned access back on.

We already are experiencing that. Crab fishing season was cancelled in 2022 due to a sudden “where are our missing billions of crab?” Other fishing areas are likewise being affected.

Massive crop failures in China, Russia, Middle East, Africa, south and Central America have been going on for several years. Potable water is disappearing in many regions, forcing massive water migration.

‘Your heart races a bit’: US weather man threatened with death for mentioning climate crisis

Reply in thread

The vast majority of Americans have been subjected to a massive multi-decade multi-approach propaganda campaign, and they parrot what has been forced fed into their brains. It’s organized and has been pushed on them by their local church, Christian news outlets, Fox News, local GOP politics, and national news outlets they watch or read. None of this is by accident, and has been pushed on them since before my childhood in the 70s. It took a long time to hit critical mass, but it hit, and at the worst time possible.
