a nazi was unmasked on xitter. musk banned the group that outed him

X has locked and suspended the accounts of journalists and researchers who shared the alleged identity of a neo-Nazi cartoonist known as Stonetoss after the cartoonist appealed to site owner Elon Musk.

The incident, critics say, highlights once again how Musk has not only welcomed extremists onto his platform but has repeatedly boosted their conspiracies, engaged with their accounts, and seems to have protected them from scrutiny.

A lengthy X thread posted by the antifascist research group Anonymous Comrades Collective last week claimed that Stonetoss is a man named Hans Kristian Graebener from Spring, Texas. Stonetoss cartoons, which feature simple and colorful imagery coupled with racist, homophobic, and antisemitic language, have become hugely popular among right-wing communities since they were first published at least seven years ago.

M83 the southen pinwheel

I used a remote telescope in chile for 7.5 hours of data to process on the southern pinwheel galaxy. the galaxy is shaped similar to the milky way and is about 15 million light years away
just to the right of it are a couple of smaller galaxies (at least the look smaller from earth)
they are MUCH further away, eatimated at 600 million light years away
Imaged using RGB and L filters (the remote telescopes uses monochrome camera. the camera allows finer detail at the cost of requiring filters to create a color image

amessage to republican so called christians

seen on facebook

What the hell did you expect me to do?
You told me to love my neighbors, to model the life of Jesus. To be kind and considerate, and to stand up for the bullied.
You told me to love people, consider others as more important than myself. "Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight." We sang it together, pressing the volume pedal and leaning our hearts into the chorus.
You told me to love my enemies, to even do good to those who wish for bad things. You told me to never "hate" anyone and to always find ways to encourage people.
You told me it's better to give than receive, to be last instead of first.
You told me that Jesus looks at what I do for the least-of-these as the true depth of my faith. You told me to focus on my own sin and not to judge. You told me to be accepting and forgiving.
I payed attention.
I took every lesson.
And I did what you told me.
But now, you call me a libtard. A queer-lover.
You call me "woke." A backslider.
You call me a heretic. A child of the devil.😈
You call me soft. A snowflake. A socialist.
What the hell did you expect me to do?
I thought you were serious, apparently not.
We were once friends. But now, the lines have been drawn. You hate nearly all the people I love. You stand against nearly all the things I stand for. I'm trying to see a way forward, but it's hard when I survey all the hurt, harm, and darkness that comes in the wake of your beliefs and presence.
What the hell did you expect me to do?
I believed it all the way.
I'm still believing it all the way.
Which leaves me wondering, what happened to you?
.
Grace is brave. Be brave.

Banning tik tok is wrong

The house voted today to ban the app unless it’s sold.

That wrong. Period. I won’t install it on my phone but that’s my choice. The government should have no say over what app a private company chooses to put on their App Store especially one that is a social media app.
