I did some really basic searching and it looks like something like Yunohost might have some ActivityPub modules, and it does have some blogging modules that might work. I have not used this, so I can't say how good or bad it is, but it seemed to have potential.
The cruelty is the point.
Hunter Biden guilty plea in doubt over immunity questions
Even if the legal turmoil that has surrounded Hunter Biden for years is wrapped up, the political battle will continue.
Well I should be finishing The Thousand Crimes of Ming Tsu but honestly western magical realism just isn't doing it for me. It's August's small book club read so I'll get back to it.
In the meantime I've been re-reading Last Exit by Max Gladstone because Ruthanna Emrys and Anne Pillsworth are starting a re-read discussion and I'm reminded that it was awesome and that I felt like there was a lot I was missing when I read it the first time, so just refreshing my memory to be able to keep up with the discussion.
I wish it were "against all odds" but by my observations, the probabilities are a lot higher than I would like.
Goddammit. It's my moronic senator behind that. Figures. I'm not sure he reaches Tuberville or Inhofe levels of stupid, but he is a terrible person.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion... I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain... Time.. to die.
Roy Batty (as played by Rutger Hauer) in Blade Runner (1982)
I don't think you're alone on the Southern Reach books by Vandermeer. I did read them, but holy moly it was a slog towards the end. It's a trippy slow psychological descent. Without any concrete aspects for the reader to hang their hat on, it's exceedingly difficult (for me at least) to get a picture of what's going on, what's really happening. I think they're well written, but they are not really my thing.
Ms Greene is apparently unaware that human beings have sex, and thus is astonished when she discovered the younger Biden engaging.

Maybe a little good news, or at least a good person doing what's right in Florida which seems a rarity in their governmental bodies.

Yeah, he's not even subtle about it.
I'll see what I can do when I get an opportunity. I installed it and tried it, but since I didn't have time to really dig in, I uninstalled it after the first sanity pass failed. This was Firefox 115.02 (64-bit) Windows 10.
That's basically why I picked this one up. Her characterizations are great honestly. And the world is unfurling, but the longer certain topics are kept murky (who ARE these antagonists??), the more I think the payoff had better be good.
I hate how the Star Wars fans respond to PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING. I was the biggest Star Wars geek as a kid; it was THE thing I collected and played with extensively. As many characters as I could get, ships. Made my own stuff. Generally freaking appalled at everyone's behavior since then.

Daytime reading: Witch King by Martha Wells
- Fantasy -- My mental jury is still out on this one. Characters are likeable, but the world is still quite murky which makes certain motivations and behaviors hard to parse.
Nighttime reading: The Thousand Crimes of Ming Tsu by Tom Lin
- ??? -- Haven't gotten far enough in it to even know. It's a period piece in mid 19th century. Maybe magical realism?

Planned Parenthood of the Heartland went to court Wednesday to block Iowa’s six-week ban, a product of a one-day special session marathon on Tuesday Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) had called for the sole purpose of passing abortion restrictions.
Also Gen X (1971) and while I remember it in first grade (so this would have been around 1976-77) I don't think it continued much past 1st grade. MAYBE 2nd. So I lucked out there I suppose. I cannot imagine getting indoctrinated by JBS though. I'm sure it would have gone down well in a lot of the midwest where I grew up, but I suppose I also lucked out there in that the school board and staff were pretty apolitical when it came to school structure.

Big patch. Pretty disappointed in the Annulet change because I don't believe their statement that they are correctly compensating for the loss of the damage. As Windwalker I can guarantee it's way more than a 2% aura is going to produce, so WW is going to trail even further behind after this. I mean I get what they're trying to do, but it's going to be painful for a few weeks while we're further ignored.
Oh well, I'm just going to keep on punching.
Yeah, it should have been a A level criticality -- functionally impossible to relay bad information, tri mode redundancy, shut down if it detects itself in error, etc.
I don't know if it's technical detail translating poorly into journalism, but from reading up on it, I don't believe it was just a sensor deploying at the wrong time. It was a sensor providing flight stability critical information with no tri-mode redundancy built in (sold secondarily as a "safety mechanism" reporting incorrectly, causing MCAS to react fatally.
I think that "sensor with no redundancy" is a pretty important fact.

I think that's basically the argument that just puts blinders on and assumes everything is perfect and why pretend otherwise. A comment I've read that I think has some merit is that they didn't put an end to legacy admissions, bias for donors, employee families, and other special recommendations. These are all systems that favor class and are predominantly white. So why did the justices pretend that admissions are all based around merit and achievement when they are not?
If more were being done about the systemic causes, then I think there would be less frustration with this decision. Since we clearly have quite a long way to go on the systemic issues, this ruling is pretty naive in my view.

US abortion pill access could hinge on whether doctors had right to sue
A prominent U.S. lawsuit to ban the abortion pill mifepristone has focused on the drug's safety and approval process. But the outcome may ultimately rest on a different issue: whether Ingrid Skop, an anti-abortion doctor in Texas, and other physicians behind the lawsuit can justify suing in the firs...

Flogging a book so it's hard to know, but there's been other verified quotes about his daughter so this claim is plausible.

How do I search for magazines and/or communities now?
Seems like something on KBin changed from the day I first signed up to today. I distinctly remember at the top where it says:
kbin /m/AskKbin Threads(#) Microblog(#) People
There used to be another option for "Magazines" in which it was a search engine for magazines here and on Lemmy. That's how I set up an initial assortment of topics I was following.
It's no longer there. If I do a search for say "emacs" it's pulling up ActivityPub mentions of emacs in posts, but not actual communities.
Am I crazy and I imagined it, or is it something that was up there, but disappeared. Maybe I accidentally selected something that turned it off!
In the interim, if I'm looking for a topic, what's the best way to find a magazine about it? In this particular case I was trying to find the Lemmy Emacs community, but honestly in the end I just prayed and used /m/[email protected] and that worked and I subscribed. But it'd be nice to have a less hail Mary method. Thanks!
