It's difficult for me to think of a more badass woman than Sigourney Weaver as Ripley -- all the men follow her naturally because she's an incredible leader. "I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit... it's the only way to be sure." youtube.com/watch?v=B9aM4rH692M

@liaizonwakest ⁂ Not about our two members (that I’m aware of). Only learned about it in our omg.lol community chat. But here’s a solid writeup about the CEO similarly harassing someone else: d-shoot.net/kagi.html

(Lots of interesting things in there, such as how he refused to add any kind of help/intervention text for searches related to suicide.)

in magic systems there is often the concept of a True Name that gives people power over you, and sometimes there is also the concept of being able to change your True Name in order to break magical restrictions. if you assume in a legal system that your True Name is your legal name, then this suggests the concept of having to get a legal name change every time you get cursed

In Montana, local organizers have drafted and submitted a constitutional initiative for voters to consider in 2026 — the first step in a movement built to spread nationwide. It would decline to grant to all corporations the power to spend in elections.

Called the Transparent Election Initiative, it wouldn’t overturn Citizens United — it would negate the consequences of Citizens United. (Click on the link and you’ll get the details.)

Who had the funny idea to turn tags to lowerCase on auto-completion in the Mastodon Web UI? That's kinda nasty. Especially if I select a tag like "AndroidAppRain" (spelled exactly like that in the suggestion) by typing "AndroidA" and let it auto-complete: "androidappRain" is *NOT* what I'd expect.

I've checked the preferences, but found nothing. Any hints on how to set this to sane defaults? Screenreaders have it easier with CamelCase…

@downeyMichael Downey 🧢 some setting on instance level maybe?
