"Attorney at law"
Can you be an attorney at other things?
Attorney at butt fuggin?
Attorney at pizza?
My Mother is starting a master's in education, her homework was to make a presentation about Marx in education.
My Dad, whose engineering degree made him the go-to homework tutor in our family, knows nothing about Marx or the humanities.
Then I come to the rescue with my opinionated toots. My radicalization finally paid off.
I just explained Marxism to my parents and weirdly it made them proud I know about this stuff.

similarly, "policeman" and "policewoman" are unnecessarily gendered -- just say "pig," or "willing tool of the fascist police state"

the terms "landlord" and "landlady" enforce the gender binary. to be more inclusive, you should use gender-neutral terms instead. like "leech," or "parasitic scum." or "human dartboard"

Reading about the RMS drama. Does really seem like they shouldn’t be in any position of power. They seem completely tone deaf as to the implications of their words.

The most effective way to maintain a healthy relationship with your code is through the strategic doctrine of mutually assured destruction.

I think most fediverse apps would be better suited as frontend clients (or mobile apps) which can all connect to the same backend server (probably with some backend plugins or microservices to handle things like video compression).
One advantage would be having one federated identity where I can post toots, articles, photos, videos, events, educational resources, git merge requests, etc, etc, rather than having dozens of disparate identities and contact lists.

Pewds response implied that the media was to blame, ignoring the efforts of 4Chan to twist his videos into alt right propaganda.
If pew was a better man he would call his reactioary fans on their bullshit, but sadly his alt light viewers outnumber the others, he's not brave enough to sacrifice, to leave the bad apples behind and instead blames the media - ironically this still plays into 4chans game, since they also hate the media for being leftwing Jews.
Pews response

If pewds is alt right / light or not does not matter, because 4chaners have allready encoded their messages to the overall media landscape.
Now that phill reported on the news crediting pool the YouTube algorithm will start recommending reactionary videos to viewers it the most subscribed channel.
If the pewdiepie community still seems non problematic watch this vid:
In the past, several people criticized pewds for being racist, pew fans say this is nonsense, so then the pew critics explained they ment that pew normalizes a problematic ideology while not being racist himself, the pewd community denied normalizing bigotry.
Now that pew is donating money to an organization that opposes racism, the pew community goes insane.
And the only mention of this controversy I could find in the fediverse is from Alex Jones, taking sides against the ADL.
