if Mastodon has linear timelines, no sorting algorithm - why does the most recent post have a time stamp of 22 minutes, and the one underneath 11 minutes on the home feed?

If you are planning a conference where you expect international participation, you would have to be crazy to hold the event in the United States. A provision in the massive new Trump/Republican law is designed to deter people of integrity from visiting the U.S.

My colleagues and our broadcasts, devoted to telling America’s story to the world — honestly, fairly and with an unwavering commitment to the truth​, are being silenced this weekend. https://open.substack.com/pub/newsguy/p/requiem-for-the-voice-that-carried?r=1g77q&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

"I feel they have to become a (US) state," President Trump, in the Oval Office with reporters, says of Canada.

Dear orange nut job to our south - STFU with your 51st state nonsense or invade already

We have absolutely no desire what-so-ever in becoming Americans

Thank you kindly - all of Canada

hmmm - 5 years into a pandemic that everyone believes is fiction Quebec ERs are somehow unable to cope with the number of patients

https://globalnews.ca/news/10941754/quebec-emergency-rooms-surge-january-2025/

meanwhile in BC a toddler waits over 14 hours for care in an urban ER, betting the response from Island Health will be 'at least it was still open' while they do shit all to address the problem

Bring Back Masks!!!

Meanwhile the Covid addled neo-fascists want to ban masks because obviously anyone trying to protect themselves, their family and community by wearing one is about to commit a major crime

    Listening to a case where a doctor killed his significant other after arguing on the drive home about being dragged to see Titanic, which he hated, whereas his s/o loved.

    Seems like an overreaction but god did i hate that fucking movie.

    @hannu_ikonen @ciggysmokebringer ooh gad, truly sorry to bring up bad memories - but I am in chats where people are people are spewing about 'I can't like this person over liking this movie' - and I'm like, calm the fuck down, you watch daytime TV and hit shopping channels, get over yourself

    no one is perfect for you - just let live as best you can

    shrugs

    As a trans woman, anarchist, and person who studies fascism I am often perplexed by the center-left media figure genre of post where you folks log onto twitter and are totally aghast that the right is just openly fascist and admitting they hate women they can't turn into sex objects, believe minorities are the cause of all their problems, and are openly advocating for violence towards their political enemies, which amounts to anyone who isn't a cracker fascist or bootlicker for such.

    @AnarchoNinaWrites for 5 years I worked in a legislative capacity for a Green who turned out to be a total conservative shithead, so yeah
