160 years ago today, Robert E. Lee surrendered to Union forces in Richmond Virginia.

There are a lot of reasons the Confederates lost. Among them, its leaders didn't know how to run a functional economy.

Crippled by hyperinflation, trade deficits, & inability to industrialize, the Confederacy tore itself to shreds in just four years.



@Friendica Support
I would like to pull some content from Ukraine to my Friendica instance and found the following relay that has all hte relevent Ukrainien Mastodon instances:
relay.social.net.ua/
However, `console relay add relay.social.net.ua/actor` gives me a `couldn't be added`. The reason might be that this is not a yukicmochi relay but based on some other code. Would you be so kind to have a look whether this can be fixed on my end or on theirs and how?
in reply to Tobias Ernst

Can you create an issue for that? I guess that especially for this relay we would need to filter not only for Ukrainian but also Russian, right? Possibly we could also add a possibility to subscribe to relay servers readonly.

@Muse Going through the motions of democracy in the presence of fascist dictatorship has great merit. I intend to carry on going through the motions. Today, I'm committed to non-violence because I have obligations to the living.

For those that like to digest news in places other than Mastodon, I send out an email once every 3-ish months with updates from my studio and some thoughts on art, technology and nonhuman critters. Over time the newsletter has turned into a sort of conceptual blog post that I do every once in a while. Sign up or read the most recent one here: shanefinan.org/newsletter.html

I also have an RSS feed of my most recent news: shanefinan.org/feed

And I talk to people in person.

Ten Exceptional Ancient Elephants, From Small Swimming Creatures to Shovel-Tusked Beasts


Not so long ago, the trumpeting of elephants could be heard across a great deal of our planet. Wrinkly-skinned giants did not only inhabit Africa and southern Asia, but roamed from prehistoric Portugal across Eurasia, to the chilly landscapes of ancient Alaska and down into South America. And that was just during the Ice Age from about 11,700 to 2 million years ago, when mammoths, mastodons and several other forms of elephant were common parts of ecosystems all across the planet. Go back further and the fossil elephants are even stranger.
