Frau Horst on diaspora* posted this more than ten years ago, but I think it's still relevant.

Four-square comic strip, with two stick-figure heads talking.

– So you know, the thing with the refugees here ... I'm not a Nazi, but ...

(third square: both heads are silent)

(fourth square: first head is silent, with a grumpy face; second head speaks)
– You should still be allowed to say that.

"Motor girl", by Terry Moore

Finished #reading Terry Moore's "SIP Kids" yesterday,
and finished both volumes of the "Motor girl" series today.

SIP Kids was a very light-hearted read after the Rachel rising series.
If it hadn't been part of the Humble Bundle, I'd probably just lent it from the library instead of owning a copy myself.

Motor girl worked with other issues, but no Rachel rising horror.
It's about a war veteran, and the PTSD after having done three tours to Iraq, and coping mechanisms, and now weaving actual reality with old reality. And fighting off government-but-not-government experiments. And UFOs.
And then an aunt we've met in an earlier story has a supporting role in all of it.

Oh, and: I guess this genre should be tagged as #GraphicNovel

So, as I suspected: From a #federation standpoint, posts originating from Friendica is probably the most effective?
(The goal being posts that reach — and can then be re-shared on — both diaspora*, Friendica, and Mastodon.)

The Mastodon-Friendica connection works fine, but Mastodon posts reshared via Friendica doesn't seem to reach diaspora* (at least not within a reasonable time span 🤷).

"Rachel rising", by Terry Moore

Finished #reading Terry Moore's Rachel rising series
(it, too, was part of the Humble Bundle).

I kind of stopped counting all the dead people after a while. And that was just the first volume.

I'm not much for horror, but quite a lot of it just went past me.
Until the last volume. I could have finished it yesterday, but I had to take a break.

So. The story. It's biblical. Years of revenge, on a god-forsaken scale.

And in the middle of it all, there's a nice, non-violent, throwback to an earlier story.

xkcd 1357: Free Speech
The media in this post is not displayed to visitors. To view it, please log in.

This one's old, but I still find it relevant.

Public Service Announcement:<br>The right to free speech means the government can't arrest you for what you say.<br>It doesn't mean that anyone else has to listen to your bullshit,<br>or host you while you share it.<br>The 1st amendment doesn't shield you from criticism or consequences.<br>If you're yelled at, boycotted, have your show cancelled, or get banned from an internet community, your free speech rights aren't being violated.<br>It's just that the people listening think you're an asshole,<br>and they're showing you the door.

xkcd alt-text: I can't remember where I heard this, but someone once said that defending a position by citing free speech is sort of the ultimate concession; you're saying that the most compelling thing you can say for your position is that it's not literally illegal to express.

"Echo", by Terry Moore

Finished reading Terry Moore's Echo series, which was part of the Humble Bundle I bought a month ago.

When science out of curiosity leads to science for the better good but is run-over and exploited, and "just because something is possible, doesn't mean it should be done", and military who "just wants to one-up the other guys (consequenses? huh?)", and there are other things in life that hold value.

New order - "Your silent face"

I was staying with my relatives in Scotland, and my cousin played this record.
Later on, I tried to re-find it — I had no idea what band it was, or the name of the record, but I remembered the cover, and that it said "FACT 75" on the cover. I didn't know that that was the record label's numbering of their records, but it was just what the record store needed and I got my record. On CD, though, because this was years later.

One of their tracks popped up in my mind, and I think this was the track.

@phle btw, I think you can also force the embedded player if you put the part after watch?v= between the [youtube][/youtube] tag. e.g., for your video, that would be [youtube]f4fB9EXpMTI[/youtube]

Otherwise, I don't know what the issue could be on your end.
