If it didn’t have so many horrible repercussions, the hilarity of the US losing the Cold War would not be lost on me. All empires must fall. Let’s start with the US and keep going after that. All you Americans can choke on your patriotism, as if your country only now became a force for evil. Read about your own fucking history since we clearly can’t ask you to know or care about the rest of the world.

For all you partisan Democrat dick-riders, Trumpf is only a symptom of your curse of a country, not the sole cause of the racism and deadly imperialist adventuring that has always been at its core. Today and every day, I’ll be singing Fuck the USA. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPfeTBwrGAw

Reddit Front Page is absolutely awash in subreddit posts advocating banning all Twitter links. I’d love to see Mastodon instances implementing something similar. Honestly, my main disappointment is that it required a double dose of Nazi salute for Redditors to realize that MAGA is fascist.

“In this book, the authors invite us to shift our perspective on piracy itself. This polyphonic work constitutes an attempt at probing the ambiguity inherent to piracy and at re-evaluating the issues related to it. The Pirate Book, moreover, signifies a departure from the one-sided approach adopted by the cultural industries which consists in designating the figure of the pirate as public enemy number 1.”

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our beloved brother, Lucas Bear. At only 18 years old, our brother is making his way to the Spirit World. Our family is now faced with the heartbreaking task of bringing Lucas home to Saskatoon, where we will lay him to rest. https://www.gofundme.com/f/lucas-bear

Filtering for and thereby blocking the names Trump and Musk were the best things I ever did to my Mastodon feed. Now, if only I can find a way to block the term "US” without also blocking the closely related words useless, usurious, usurper, and usually-up-their-own-asses-about-their-ridiculous-country.

It’s Mastodon, not Mastodonaldtrump. Enough with people simply reposting Tweets on here. The Nazis had their swastika, the Russians have their Z, and the US fascists have X. All those symbols don’t merely need to die; they need to be put to death.
