There's so much that's grotesque about this, that we've built cities around cars so thoroughly, that it dominates our thinking so totally that we just ambiently tolerate around 25 child deaths per day and that the only time of the year kids all go out together at night that number triples. It's not so much that I want walkable cities, as I want people-not-getting-run-over cities. I want kids-not-getting-killed cities.

Trump is not “the new Hitler” and he is not “just like Mussolini.” We are not facing an exact replica of the Ur-fascism that rose to power in Europe’s interwar period. But Trumpism is a specifically American, specifically twenty-first century version of fascism.
Thomas Zimmer (@tzimmer_history@mastodon.social)
Weekend reading: I wrote about Donald Trump’s closing pitch to the American people: Rage, intimidation, and vengeful violence.
He is threatening – or promising, if you ask his supporters – fascism. No more plausible deniability for anyone who refuses to see the threat.

A Sociable Web, a post about envisioning a better way to interact online
The process of building out this site has inevitably involved design choices about how to engage with various technologies and other people's web presences. It's a truism that you can't solve social problems with technology, but social media has made it just as clear that technology does shape the social dynamics that emerge in the spaces it mediates. This drives me to wonder: as more of my friends and friends-of-friends move to individual websites and blogs, what social dynamics does this give rise to? And what different technical designs could improve those dynamics?
I think it's most interesting to approach this question from the social direction rather than the technological. Our first priority should be a set of social goals for interacting on the internet, and only with that understanding firmly in hand can we start usefully interrogating the way technology gives rise to or fights against the sort of… House of Nettles • A Sociable Web by @nex3@mastodon.social

Just for the record, Richard Stallman should resign in disgrace, then retire entirely from public life. Then, everyone involved in any way in reinstating him to positions of authority within FSF or GNU should also resign and apologize. If there is *any* hope for the positive elements of the movement that he tried to build to survive (for what it's worth, I think chances of that are slim) both he and the faction he represents must be removed from it entirely.

Please don't assume someone is your friend just because you enjoy their content. You might think 'we'd make great pals!' - that's OK. But actually *treating a stranger like a friend* can be uncomfortable. - asking them for a drink if you're in their city - offering a 'listening ear' - asking for their home address to send a gift These things require consent, and usually a two-way friendship.
