My new conspiracy theory: Vance is a made man for the Technate, and the plan has always been to get him into the Presidency. Trump will be enabled to act as corruptly as he wants, until an impeachment succeeds. Vance will step in and fulfill Thiel's program. Trump lands softly, and the Matrix is built.

    Why is Death so wonderful, so worthy of celebration?

    For one, your nutrition doesn't come directly from the living.

    Every newborn baby shouts their first cry from atop a mountain of ancestral bones.

    Every drop of water, every clump of oxygen is deconstructed, its contents stolen by cells greedy for motion—the Winter Death of the leaves is motion for the soil, and the soil for cells again.

    A person's end is the reminder of their present. If we were to prevent death altogether, we would prevent life as well.

    Death is the Author of Life.

    Death is Change, Itself.

    So why not celebrate it?

    Celebrating Death does not negate our Grief when its selections cut through our hearts and memories. Neither does it grant us the time we so wish to regain from Death's ever-premature visits.

    We must not forget, though it took that one from us, it was Death that gave that one to us in the first place.

    When we see Death for what it is—the Change in which all Living has its being—we can celebrate its contributions to us, even as we love and lose them.

    To those who celebrate, a very Blessed Samhain, and Happy Halloween

    💀🎃💀🎃💀🎃💀🎃💀🎃💀🎃💀

    EDIT: We’re going to attempt to organize a larger logo and spread the word further around various Fediverse services. I get that a lot of y’all are opposed to visiting over there. I'm pissed too, which is why I spent a lot of my day helping write “Fuck Spez.” I don’t think we’re going to contribute to Reddit’s revenue much, and I think at the very least sending a VERY public message that the Fediverse is here is a good thing.

     

    We really shouldn't take this Meta thing lightly.

    They could offer the slickest interface and keep people locked to their friends. That interface can use protocols that make it difficult/impossible for non-Threads instances to play ball (ooh this cool new feature is only available through the Threads app; Oh, mybasement.world.ml.xyz can't read that content). There are many ways to Embrace, Extend, and Extinguish, we've seen Meta do it before (e.g. XMPP), and I'm sure we haven't even thought of some ways Threads could EEE.

    I think defederation from Meta's instances is probably our only option to protect what we have.
