It's been eight years to the day since Lance Ulanoff, the storied Tech and Social Media Expert and an award-winning tech journalist, decided that Mastodon won't survive because William Shatner couldn't find him on here.
Eight years on, Mastodon stubbornly survives:

Eight years ago Lance Ulanoff had a problem. William Shatner could not find him on Mastodon. His distress is understandable, relatable even. Who wouldn’t want to be found by Captain Kirk himself! TheSongs on the Security of Networks

Mýtus o záchraně státního rozpočtu
Roky už od lidí poslouchám argument, že stačí snížit byrokracii, propustit část státních úředníků a náš státní rozpočet bude zachráněný. Teď se diskuse na toto téma vrátila na výsluní, protože v USA tuto myšlenku začali realizovat. Z opakovaného vysvětlování už jsem tak unavený, že jsem se rozhodl to sepsat na blog.

"Before 1914, the earth had belonged to all. People went where they wished and stayed as long as they pleased. There were no permits, no visas, and it always gives me pleasure to astonish the young by telling them that before 1914, I travelled from Europe to India and America without a passport and without ever having seen one."
-Stefan Zweig
Borders as we know them are a recent concoction.
The passport system as we know it dates to the First World War. ICE was founded in 2003 as part of the so-called "War on Terror," a disaster for freedom in every way.
These institutions are neither timeless nor beneficial nor inevitable.

News: Hands Off Crowd Estimated At 2.3 Million By Alt National Parks
Edit: TOTAL NOW 5 MILLION! - SEE UPDATE BELOW
"Wow! Updated estimates now put turnout at 2.3 million — and we're still waiting on reports from coalition members in other areas, with some events yet to begin! If you're free, come out and join us... People often ask what a coalition of 200,000 can do. The answer's simple — with all our free time (since a lot of us got fired), we're out here causing a lot of good trouble."
While (most) corporate media outlets are ignoring or downplaying the #HandsOff rallies, indie and nonprofits are not! For example, the #Philadelphia #Inquirer covered #HandsOffPhilly and other Delaware Valley protests. Support your #localnews that is likewise covering these events.
