@moonman English words don't have variables in them. I already read a screed from a linguist from Portugal explaining how latino and latina were correct English usage and latinx is utter nonsense. She was very adamant in her prose.

@moonman I got to read once a linguist from Portugal who immigrated to the USA explain how *that* made up term is an utter abomination and corruption of the English language.

*THIS* is why we need community voices. Amalgamating podcasters into 3 big companies in the USA with one of them being iHeartMedia (the old ClearChannel) and another being Entercom (the old CBS Radio) is not healthy. The third one is E W Scripps Ohio which owns Stitcher. We can call the fourth big podcaster NPR and its affiliates.

That’s not a diverse, healthy landscape. That’s homogenized, pasteurized, standardized drivel. We must do better to survive as a society.

@SDF Could somebody please nuke freefedifollowers.ga for abusive following behaviors?

@dick_turpin @wyliecoyoteuk Yeah, I saw those headlines and then I remember seeing American political folks like David Axelrod mysteriously consulting with one of the U.K. parties at the last Westminster election too.

@dick_turpin @wyliecoyoteuk There a ban on employing foreign campaign consultants?

The Internet as an entity/construct may not necessarily survive this. That could be a good thing. ikiwiki and gitit accessed from shared repos would survive, I suppose...
