The United States 🇺🇸 military is always in need of more killing machines. Usually this refers to humans willing to obey any order issued by the Brass (or the military leaders giving out the orders).

I’ve been thinking a lot about the question about what would do differently if starting WP now, the column names was the first answer, I think my “slept on it” answer would be having “starters” separate from plugins and themes that configure them, and we could have a directory and community around.
I am disappointed my Srirachai from @Walmart arrived unsealed & damaged. I am throwing the whole bottle away out of caution, but I will order this from @amazon in the future (as they take care of my orders, even if they arrive much later).
Okay, so I am going to create a video (I will upload it tomorrow) on how I believe Japan 🇯🇵 can reverse the demographic decline without going broke. It’s based upon my limited knowledge of Japan 🇯🇵 (after visiting the country previously) & watching too many videos about Japan 🇯🇵 from Japanese citizens.
So the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 & European Union 🇪🇺 are cracking down on visa free access for countries that allow citizenship by investment.
This seems to be out of fear over Russia 🇷🇺 & China 🇨🇳 (as those citizens can buy citizenship & access western nations).
I am currently a citizen of Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 & the United States 🇺🇸, but I am seeking to obtain several more citizenships via investments, albeit not from the Caribbean.
It seems @Gargron@mastodon.social (creator & founder of Mastodon) has embraced the idea of universal search upon Mastodon, which is excellent as search by hashtag is (more or less) a subpar experience.
It is my decision to unite all discovery features in one setting, because all of this stuff is an expected part of a social network and splitting it up into different settings that everyone has to…
In hindsight I am so glad I chose to solo host my instances, as there is seems to be another wannabe purge happening right now in Masto-Galaxy right now. Basically people blocking & advocating the blocking of news organizations based on biases, other instances based upon slights, & guilt by association bans as well.
Yes, it is more expensive, but at the end of the day I am just responsible for my instance / presence online. It also means I am able to communicate with people like normal in spite of the chaos, which is helpful to staying sane on planet Earth.
That said, I am looking forward to when Tumblr joins the Fediverse! Threads too!
So for what it is worth, here is my Fediverse Footprint:
Post Federation
Counter Social: This instance use to be apart of the Federation before Fedi-ban-drama made them leave. I do hope they will rejoin in the future (as it was the first instance I joined), but even if they do not I will still enjoy the site.
With Threads, Tumblr & Post on the verge of joining the Fediverse in the latter half of 2023, the number of Fediverse users could reach 250 million before children worldwide open their presents on Christmas Day.
The entrance of formally centralized players embracing ActivityPub to stay relevant (after all, they are not embracing federation for the “feels”) may result in some classic Fediverse…
