Over the last 24 or so hours I've been subject to a harassment campaign where people have encouraged me to kill myself, and/or called me racist and homophobic slurs, and/or accused me of pedophilia.

Most of the abuse came from a small number of instances:

nicecrew[.]digital
shit[.]poster[.]place
parcero[.]casa

(The last one actually has multiple abusive instances under multiple two-letter-subdomains - I recommend blocking the apex.)

As these instances are all dedicated to 'free speech’, 'satire’, or β€˜shit-posting’ (as we all know these terms are all synonymous with abuse) I would recommend a fediblock on these instances, if you don't already block them.

(If anyone is curious: This all started because someone spread the rumour that FediFetcher doesn't respect robots.txt. A rumour that's false: FediFetcher does respect robots.txt.)

World-renowned Canadian doctor says NYU cancelled her talk for being β€˜anti-government’ | Globalnews.ca


She said her lecture was going to discuss humanitarian aid in a time of crises as well as the challenges aid workers have faced in Gaza and other war zones.

β€œ[I was told] that discussing the USAID cuts could be perceived as an anti-governmental narrative,” Liu told Global in an interview on Friday. She added that NYU, her alma mater, also said her lecture risked being perceived as antisemitic.

Conservatives drop second election candidate in one day


Stefan Marquis β€” who was running for the Conservatives in the Montreal riding of Laurierβ€”Sainte-Marie, held by Liberal cabinet minister Steven Guilbeault since 2019 β€” wrote in a post on social media that he is no longer a candidate for the party.

β€œIn a call received this morning from one of Quebec’s operations managers for the party, I was told without further note that β€˜certain’ individuals within the party had consulted my recent posts on Twitter-X and deemed these sufficient reason to end our political collaboration,” Marquis wrote on X, along with a cartoon image of a hand pressing a button on a person’s head to get them to speak. β€œThe call lasted less than a minute.”

Recent social media posts by Marquis promote popular right-wing conspiracy theories, including that Bill Gates is trying to manipulate public health for profit through vaccines, and that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was β€œprovoked” by the expansion of NATO.

How could #Trump be president for a third term?

Trump supporters say there is a loophole in the constitution

They argue that the 22nd Amendment only explicitly bans someone being "elected" to more than two presidential terms - and says nothing of "succession"

Under this theory, Trump could be the vice-presidential running-mate to another candidate - in the 2028 election

If they win, they could be sworn into the White House and then immediately resign - letting Trump take over by succession

'Marine Le Pen thought she was untouchable. Wrapped in tricolor nationalism, elevated by decades of scapegoating, she built a brand out of grievance and paranoia. She claimed the people's voice, even as she siphoned public money behind their backs. She stoked fires she had no intention of putting out, pointed fingers at enemies she invented wholesale, and assumed, like every strongman with a PR team, that the system she mocked would never bite back.

Then it did.

The French courts called her bluff. They reviewed the evidence, followed the law, and found her guilty. Not of bad optics. Not of rhetorical excess. Not of "thought crimes," no matter what Elon Musk and his gang of strongmen with hurt feelings tell you.

She was found guilty of embezzlement, theft, and lying while draped in the flag. She won't run for president again until 2030. She's under home detention. And she is no longer just a threatβ€”she is a convicted fraud.

This matters.

Not just because it dents her career. Not just because it opens up the field in France. But because every autocrat, every demagogue, every would-be Le Pen elsewhere is watching. And they are rattled.

They should be. The far right does not survive scrutiny. It thrives in spectacle, but it dies in sunlight. Like Trump, Bolsonaro, and Orban, Le Pen built her empire on the assumption that the rules were for someone else. That legality was a performance. That accountability was optional. But the law is not a mirror. You don't get to shape it with your ego. In an uncompromised system, it stands even when you scream at it.

The global tantrum from her allies tells the story. Trump immediately compared Le Pen's conviction to his own legal troubles because, of course he did. It's always about him. Always the victim, never the culprit. Elon Musk, from his bubble of delusion, called it a plot. Orban pledged support for his disgraced ally. Bolsonaro whimpered from exile.

They know the truth. They know it in their bones. Fascism only works when it's insulated, when its actors are shielded from consequence, and when propaganda outruns the facts. The illusion breaks when the scaffolding of immunity collapses, the mob is replaced by a judge, and the slogans are replaced by evidence. And what's underneath? Insecurity, desperation, and a hollow ideology trussed up in stolen valor.

Authoritarians don't want law and order. They want their order without law. Le Pen wasn't taken down by a smear campaign. She was taken down by her own accounting. The receipts were real. The funds were misused. The institutions she spent her life deriding did their job. And for once, the machinery of democracy didn't blink.

America should take notes. Because while Le Pen is sidelined, Trump is running the table. He's reshaped the judiciary, fired the prosecutors, and made a mockery of independent oversight. He's trying to erase the very record that would convict him. He has converted the Department of Justice into a loyalty program. He's unleashed the full force of presidential power to shield himself from accountability. He's dismantling the concept of justice piece by piece, turning institutions into weapons, rules into obstacles, and laws into tools for revenge.

Trump has never and will never be interested in governing. He's not interested in solving problems. Trump wants total narrative controlβ€”to cast himself as both martyr and messiah, both victim and avenger. Every indictment becomes a campaign ad. Every trial becomes a rally. Every ruling against him becomes further proof of conspiracy. And still, beneath all the noise, is the one thing he can't rewrite: a legal system that - for now - still functions.

Trump doesn't fear the left. He doesn't fear the press. He fears the gavel. He fears that despite all the bluster, there are still people in robes who can end his fantasy. Because unlike Truth Social, Twitter, and Fox News, courts don't run on applause. Courts don't respond to chants, and judges aren't impressed by crowd sizes. The Constitution, even when shredded at the edges, still holds. And in those corners, Trump sees a threat he can't eliminate: truth rendered legally binding.

This is why Le Pen's demise matters. Because it shows that even the loudest fascists, even the most entrenched demagogues, are not beyond reach. The system, flawed and bruised, can still function. It can still deliver a verdict that means something.

Every time an authoritarian con-artist is held accountable, every time the mask slips in a courtroom, the spell weakens. It takes pressure. It takes a public that doesn't flinch when the volume gets turned up. It takes faith - not in the perfection of institutions, but in their potential.

Let the strongmen scream. Let them curse the judges. Let them fundraise off their shamelessness. If the courts still stand after the dust clears, the fascists are not winning.

They're pleading.

For once, the world doesn't have to listen.

It just has to watch the gavel fall.

And know it can fall again.'

The Trump administration destroyed the life of an innocent man and his family but won't do a thing.
"The Trump administration acknowledged in a court filing Monday that it had grabbed a Maryland father with protected legal status and mistakenly deported him to El Salvador, but said that U.S. courts lack jurisdiction to order his return from the megaprison where he’s now locked up."

InstaVolt extends off-peak charging hours from 20:00-07:00. This must make it very appealing to anybody who doesn't have AC charging options... some of our neighbours just charge once a week at the council charger -this will provide a alternative option nearby with two more charging bays and more reliability.

This makes a lot of sense for them: I've already invested the capital in the chargers and back-end systems, this should keep the chargers busy during quiet times and if it causes some people to reschedule their charging -that provides more capacity at peak times.

Petrol stations never reduce their fuel prices at offbeat times or when it is sunny or windy.

Fay Presto is a pioneer of walkaround close-up magic, but her journey to legendary status wasn't easy. She is openly transgender, and was asked to leave the Magic Circle when she began her transition in the 1980s. Sadly, they didn't even allow cis women until 1991, at which time Fay rejoined.

She's now a Gold Star Member of the Inner Magic Circle, admired in and outside the fraternity for being fearlessly herself, despite facing prejudice even from her own colleagues.
