I want extra votes for my kids, my cats, my sofa, and my dolphins.

I want to make something clear.

Corporations set prices, set wages, etc. I feel for everyone affected by corporate greed. I have a pinned post about it.

Here's the thing. You want to go after corporations? Raise wages? Raise taxes? Go back to the pre-Citizens United decision world in which they couldn't give unlimited money to GOP candidates that they know will deliver a pro-corporate paradise?

We need to put more Democrats in Congress to do that plus a Democratic President. That's reality.

I finished last year's two figs. The new ones are ripening on the tree! I should soon have a massive amount of ripe figs. Too many for me to eat: many will 'end up' in the freezer.
My mum loves them: I may prepare a little box with figs, shea butter, dried mushrooms, sliced and/or pickle-pressed rettich and broccoli stem (she can't really use her hands well anymore) rettich, and more.
I may prepare my salad vinaigrette for her to try but knowing her she may fearfully use an eye-dropper to try 🙄

Good on them! People have been so enamored with the gaming industry that they have opened themselves to being frequently walked all over by their employers. They thought this was going to be a dream job. I used to regularly warn my students about this.
Jay Bryant diaspora
Having worked in that industry for a bit, I also warn people to steer clear of it. Long hours and low pay are the norm, and many of those companies have a "frat boy" culture. Business software may be less interesting, but it does a lot better job of paying the bills without making one crazy.

PISCES FEET IN WATER
This is a large deep bowl with water in it where I soak both of my feet in the Summer.
It's by my computer desk - so I can type on my keyboard while my feet are soaking in cool water.
I can also add ice cubes, and a few drops of a pleasant essential oil to the water. I have Sea Salt from the Dead Sea in Israel which is very nice for feet.

Die Führungsriege der Deutschen Bahn bezieht mehr Gehalt als alle Mitglieder der Bundesregierung zusammen. Für eine im Vergleich überschaubare Aufgabe.

Die Privatisierung war neoliberaler Unfug. Höchste Zeit, aus der AG eine Bürgerbahn zu machen. https://www.zdf.de/nachrichten/wirtschaft/unternehmen/deutsche-bahn-verlust-milliarden-2024-100.html
Das Bild zeigt eine Tabelle aus dem Beteiligungsbericht des Bundes 2023 mit der Gesamtvergütung des Vorstands im Jahr 2022. Die Tabelle listet die Namen der Vorstandsmitglieder sowie ihre Fixvergütung, Nebenleistungen, variable Vergütung, die Gesamtsumme und Aufwendungen für Altersvorsorge in Euro auf. Die Namen der Vorstandsmitglieder sind Dr. Richard Lutz, Ronald Pofalla, Berthold Huber, Martin Seiler, Dr. Levin Holle, Dr. Sigrid Nikutta, Dr. Daniela Gerd tom Markotten, Evelyn Palla und Dr. Michael Peterson. Die Gesamtsumme der Fixvergütungen beträgt 4.134.000 €, die Nebenleistungen 92.000 €, die variable Vergütung 4.842.000 €, die Gesamtsumme 9.068.000 € und die Aufwendungen für Altersvorsorge 1.769.000 €. Es gibt einen Hinweis auf mögliche Rundungsdifferenzen und eine Erklärung, dass die personenbezogenen Gesamtsummen korrekt sind und gerundete Werte auf volle Tausender enthalten.

Naja, ich war der Meinung dass der die Bahn in den Dreck reiten wird. Zu der Zeit hatte ich glaube ich tatsächlich schon einen Artikel über zwei Bahnstrecken (Regio) gelesen, eine in Deutschland, eine in der Schweiz, die beide im Stundentakt fuhren und halbvoll waren, in Deutschland hatten sie dann auf alle zwei Stunden gestrichen, danach waren die Züge leer, in der Schweiz auf 20min verdichtet und alles war plötzlich voll. Wenn man selbst ÖPNV nutzt, ist auch klar warum.

Es ist eben ein Unterschied, ob man Mobilität als Recht begreift, oder als ein Geschäft.

Ich schrieb auch schon öfter was darüber, hier z.B.:

https://berlin.social/@mina/112302936047889937

Viele Leute beneiden die #Schweiz (zu recht) für ihre tollen #Eisenbahn⁣en, die das Rückgrat des ganzen öffentlichen Verkehrs bilden, aber wenige wissen etwas über das #Postauto, das regelmäßig von früh bis spät dorthin fährt, wo eben keine Schienen liegen.

Für mich ist ein solches Angebot in der Fläche (und alles ineinander getaktet) eine zentrale Voraussetzung dafür, auch abseits der Städte nicht auf das #Auto angewiesen zu sein.

An sowas denkt man in #Deutschland nicht einmal.

Today's discovery: Windows forces a UAC prompt on any program containing the word "update" in its filename, even if it doesn't actually require elevated permissions to run. I hate it!
Resuna mastodon (AP)
You're pulling my expletive deleted leg.

Not that UAC is all that useful, mostly it trains people to click "OK" when a prompt comes up saying "Installing a virus on your computer now, is that OK?" because they think of it as the "gotta click OK on this to get my job done" window.

#dogpiling is against many server rules, but is it limited to dogpiling individuals or does it also apply to hashtags?

recently #mastodonforharris has been polluted by people trying to create a false conflict with #mutualaid, and people griping and sniping on unrelated topics

recent examples (many more):

is hijacking a hashtag with offtopic unrelated and toxic conflict acceptable on mastodon?

@laguiri @CptSuperlative I’m not resentful of my mutual aid donations, but I see what you mean. It certainly can be leveraged by the upper class to create class resentment between all lower levels (up and down), and that may be happening here.
laguiri mastodon (AP)
@CptSuperlative @corbden Also, mutual aid is dangerously close to charity. When it comes from anyone who's not a stranger it has a potential to create resentment.

I mean. If you're also working class but slightly better off than me, even if you help me it will eventually be a problem for both of us.

Via Acyn:

Rep. Jason Crow on Fox: Donald #Trump is afraid—he is afraid of the change and he's acting like it. I'm a combat veteran, and I know fear and fatigue when I see it, and he is acting tired and afraid here. Someone needs to wake him up, and I know he has a hard time staying awake. He fell asleep repeatedly at his nominating convention. He fell asleep repeatedly at his criminal trial. Someone needs to wake him up and let him know the next generation of leadership is here and it’s on.

HARRIS for PRESIDENT

- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 26, 2024 -

Many People Are Saying: Donald Trump Is Scared to Debate Kamala Harris

- "I am calling for Debates, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, ANYPLACE!"

That was Donald Trump as recently as May 6.

After calling for debates for months, Trump agreed to two debates a few days later.

The next is scheduled for September 10th, on ABC News, in New York City.

But now, Trump is backing out.

Canceling.

Withdrawing.

Krome Studios just released a new Blade Kitten trailer.

I don’t exactly know what for but it gives me hope that maybe we’ll see more Blade Kitten eventually. Maybe @spacecaptsteve will have news some day.

It’s interesting how this game was heavily criticized upon release but has grown to become a cult classic. I think there’s something to be said about the cell-shaded graphics and the fun and quirky main character.

we will be watching

the Vincent Price classic

The Last Man on Earth (1964)

"When a disease turns all of humanity into the living dead, the last man on earth becomes a reluctant vampire hunter."

it's streaming free all over the place: tubi, crackle, roku, pluto, plex, its on amazon prime, there's multiple uploads on youtube, etc

(there are also various colorized uploads of it which i don't personally recommend, i think they look awful and spoil the look of the original film but its up to you)

please watch and live post it with us!
