No clue what's going on.

GottaLaff, to Zelensky
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

Bluff called.

“President Volodymyr has extended an invitation to Donald to visit Kyiv, with a specific condition attached.

Speaking with U.K. broadcaster Channel 4 News, Zelensky said that Trump would be warmly received in the capital under one stipulation: the former U.S. president must demonstrate his ability to bring an end to the war with Russia within 24 hours, as he once promised.”

@GottaLaff
Zelensky has lost my respect.
Trump is a right-wing ideologue. No sane, rational world leader should speak to Trump, unless telling him to fuck right off.

@accretionist @GottaLaff

You're not getting it. Within a week, at some rally, or later at some televised debate, Trump will proudly declare that Zelensky personally appealed to him to solve the war. That's how Trump works. Zelensky gave Trump credibility. Whether it was meant as a farcical parody or not.

@accretionist @GottaLaff
I'm going to take it that you live in Europe. Because there are subtleties to this that aren't as obvious if you aren't in North America. Yes, the Trumplican cult is irrational - but the Faux News propaganda machine spins stuff like this into "news" that affects more than the Trumplicans.
This isn't as simple as you clearly believe it to be.

It's almost like a team built on two superstar forwards and bugger-all for defence and goaltending was not as good as everyone thought it was. Odd, that.

JEmphatically, to climate

Just a reminder. Meta is blocking Canadian news organizations on its social media sites right now. Instagram. Facebook.

In the middle of a #climatecrisis. With heat waves, drought conditions and wildfires. Also, with Covid cases rising.

Canadians are unable to share news articles on the most popular social media sites as the company flexes its muscle in a dispute with the government.

@JEmphatically
It's actually a little simpler than this: canada passed a law saying "if you're going to use news content on your website, you gotta pay for it," and Meta said "fuck no."

TonyStark, to Ohio
@TonyStark@progressivecafe.social avatar

Extremist Republicans tried to threaten democracy and the voters of Ohio said no. The American people are tired of the attacks against our democracy and people’s rights to their own bodies.

I sense a strong pushback happening. People are waking up to the seriousness of the Republican march to an authoritarian government. And they are not having it. #Ohio #WinForDemocracy

Ohio voters reject changes to ballot process in a win for abortion rights-

@TonyStark Why bother using "extremist" and "Republican" when Republicans are, by actions, extremists? Call 'em fascists and be done with it.

Stop blaming strikes for economic damage. Strikes are a logical response to overreach and greed from corporations and the wealthy. If there is resulting economic damage, look to those who drove the workers to strike in the first instance.

Moving_Pictures,

@georgetakei Better yet, stop treating the economy as this living thing that can be hurt, or a thing that must grow no matter what.

Biden accused Putin of "lust for land and power," writes Reuters

According to him, Putin greatly underestimated the determination of NATO before the invasion of Ukraine. The alliance did not fall apart, as the Russian president had hoped. The bloc is now more united than ever because of its illness.

"He thought that our unity fell apart at the very first test. He thought that the democratic leaders turned out to be weak. But he was wrong," the agency quoted Biden as saying.

@Free_Press Biden mis-spoke. He should have said "He thought that the democratic leaders, and Erdowan ..."
Admitting Turkey to NATO was a catastrophic blunder.

@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

“Republican #LGBTQ group has blasted Florida Gov. Ron #DeSantis (R) over an ad released by his presidential campaign that the organization called “homophobic.”

Log Cabin Republicans, the largest GOP organization representing LGBTQ individuals, said in a tweet that DeSantis’s message for his presidential campaign is “divisive and desperate” and is alienating swing-state and younger voters” https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4077313-republican-lgbtq-group-blasts-desantis-over-homophobic-campaign-video/

@GottaLaff I do not know how one can be LGBTQ and Republican: the two are incompatible.

@Edent@mastodon.social avatar

Bah! Did some work for a US based non-profit and they're just not paying me.

They first said they could only pay by cheque!
(Utterly impossible for me to cash into my UK bank accounts.)

Then they agreed to pay into my Wise ACH account.
But their supplier platform wouldn't accept my UK address or phone number.

And now they're just ignoring me.

sigh

It's only US$250, so not the end of the world. But so dispiriting that they would treat their suppliers so poorly.

@Edent It's 2023. Pay by e-transfer....

@jeffjarvis@mastodon.social avatar

Confession: I have been on that Other Site for the last few hours talking about Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon because ... well, this is a good example of why I do miss search here. I want to see what people are saying; I want to know the latest reporting; and, yes, I want to quote-tweet NYTimes Pitchbot. Now it's OK if the community of Mastodon decides it doesn't want to be a key place for news but I'd regret that. And I'm not speaking so much as a journalist but as news user.

Moving_Pictures,
@Moving_Pictures@metalhead.club avatar

@jeffjarvis As a former journalist I kinda disliked Twitter being used as an alternative to actually reaching out to people. I am glad mastodon isn't (yet) being used that way.

Pick up the phone. Don't troll interwebs for sources.
