Global stock markets feeling the gloom,
Thanks to Trump's tariff tantrum, they swoon,
Investors are wary,
As markets turn scary,
Uncertainty spreading, like a monsoon.

As Decker finished the incantation, a short demon appeared in magic circle. He had red skin, horns, and wire-rimmed glasses, and was dressed in a sharp suit with a bow tie.
"Forgive me," the demon said. "but for the sake of clarity, please advise if you are attempting to summon the CEO of a Social Media Platform?"
Decker frowned. "What? No! I'm trying to summon an arch-demon from hell!"
The officious demon smiled thinly. "It's so difficult to tell the difference these days...."
On the Danish island of Bornholm, farmer Knud Andersen have cancelled his agreement to host American cruise ship tourists on his farm, which he has been doing 15 times every year.
In a post on Facebook Mr Andersen explains that American tourists are no longer welcome, because Donald Trump's statements about Denmark are "completely unacceptable" and "we will not open our doors to that kind of an attitude."
Aral Balkan hat dies geteilt.
as an #american, i encourage #canada, #mexico, #panama, #denmark, etc to put the biggest middle finger up to any and all #americans and #usa interests as you can
we deserve it
my only hope is #america can try to begin to recover some good will in 4 years time
but that's a long way away
for now, the hell is just starting
and to minimize the hell you need to push back on #trump bullshit as loudly and as forcefully as you can
show the spirit and brains too many americans lack
I don’t ordinarily boost a post from someone I don’t follow and have vetted. And not thrilled with boosting into a bsky account that’s bridged to Fediverse. But I do generally take Popehat @Popehat
seriously so his boost today of Nicholas Grossman post in bsky is worth a read.
Is it.... To bypass something? Or are trans posts triggering? Is it etiquette for something I'm missing?
Thank you,

Content warnings are a complex topic, not technically but socially. Different people will have different perspectives on how they are used.
I've tried to do a summary of it at fedi.tips/how-to-use-content-w… in the section labelled "when exactly should I use CWs?"

1.) dass man von den Student*innen, ihrer Bewegung, manches lernen kann (wie man z.B. gegen autokratische Kräfte wirksam vorgeht oder die Zivilgesellschaft aktiviert ).
2.) Weil die demokratischen Kräfte in #Serbien durch Auslandsberichterstattung gestärkt werden (Solidarität wird wahrgenommen und der politische Druck auf das autokratische System steigt). Hoffe, durch meine Beiträge das zu begünstigen und zu informieren.

Ich finde es ja grundsätzlich begrüßenswert, wenn Menschen anderen Menschen helfen wollen, aber sie sollten sich erst einmal fragen, ob diese Person überhaupt Hilfe möchte bzw. braucht.
Ich bin persönlich echt in einer guten Lage. Alles ist chill, keine Probleme - und trotzdem gibt es regelmäßig Menschen, die mich mit ihrer eigenen Lebensansicht zwangsbeglücken wollen.
Ich bin sicher, diese Personen mögen ihr Leben, wie es ist. Das tue ich auch - nur anders.

Hi Frank, welcome 👋
Feel free to ask if you want help with using this place, and there is also lots of help for new people on the website at fedi.tips (especially the Quick Start section at the top).
I think c0c0bird was suggesting you could add an "alt text" description to your photo. A lot of people do that on here as it helps blind people know what is in a post. When you post a photo, there is an option for adding a description 🙂

The word “oxymoron” is an oxymoron.

Ah wow, I thought closing 9 year old Trac issues in MacPorts when I got ZMap merged was a bit long in the tooth.
Update ImageMagick to 7.x Trac issue just got closed, also 9 years old:
trac.macports.org/ticket/51310
That's great! I can think of some other MacPorts that are also woefully out of date (e.g. usd: ports.macports.org/port/usd/ or boost [so many different versions] though oh, I am glad I checked! Seems as if ports.macports.org/port/boost1… now exists which is in alignment with upstream for the first time in I don't know how long]. That could help with some other graphics related things I wanted to create/update within MacPorts that had boost as a dependency, but had given up on last year.)
