Needless to say, the date 23 July, the last time in 2006 I heard my oldest son say “I love you dad” about a week before he was KIA in Iraq, now means that much more to me.

Another cursed factoid: Chapter 39 of the harmonized tariff schedule is dedicated to plastics and manufactured plasticproducts.

It starts with an explanatory note that disambiguates some items that match the definition of a plastic, but are classified under other sections for customs (e.g. a child's toy falls under Chapter 95 "toys" even if made of plastic).

One of the callouts is that chapter 39 does not apply to heparin and its derivatives.

Dave Anderson 4 months ago • mastodon (AP)

Heparin is an anticoagulant drug. It's what doctors give you if you have a blood clot or a heart attack, among other things.

And yeah, going to poke on wikipedia... Heparin is a naturally occurring polysaccharide, which falls under tariff heading 3913, "natural polymers and modified natural polymers". Specifically when importing to the USA, 3913.90.20.90 is "Polysaccharides and their derivatives (other than xanthan gum)".

Dave Anderson 4 months ago • mastodon (AP)

So, TIL, heparin, off of the first line treatment for heart attacks, is technically a plastic, and as such the harmonized tariff schedule has to specifically say that no, heparin and its salts should not be classified under heading 3913, and that you need to refer to heading 3001.

Which, 3001 is one of those weird clowncar categories: glands and other organs for organotherapeutic uses; extracts of same; heparin and its salts; other human or animal substances prepared for therapeutic uses.

As a bonus, if there's a charge to create an account - however small - everyone who creates one is a customer. Giving them legal protections that aren't always available to people using services without paying.

It would also provide some income towards the costs of hosting, of course. Although since revenue would only be coming in as long as new accounts are getting created, it would encourage server hosts to optimise for growth. Which isn't ideal.

There is a precedent that predates the net; the mall.

In his book Life Inc. Douglas @Rushkoff talks about how the mall was originally conceived as a utopian vision. But in the hands of US capitalists, it became a tool for corporations to own and control pedestrian shopping streets, which were once public spaces.

I love the passion and the raw emotion with which it expresses something deeply important about what the internet *is*. When we stop reducing it to a set of kitset parts (protocols, software, servers, etc) and see it as grand, new experiment in social life. I love the way it ends with the one good thing about The Last Jedi; it *is* about love and compassion overcoming hatred.

I remember reading various proposals for digital stamps per email back then, but I don't remember anyone talking about charging at the point of account creation. Probably because at the time, most people got email as a free extra with their net connection, or were setting up addresses with gratis hosts precisely because they couldn't or didn't want to pay.

Metafilter requires a one-time USD5 joining fee and I pretty sure it's been that amount for ages - if not for the entire 25 years the site has been in existence. It's enough to keep spammers and trolls away, but not enough to be a barrier for anyone to join.

Strypey 4 months ago • mastodon (AP)

Imagine if this had been standard practice among fediverse servers when Eternal November began. All those new accounts people set up would have brought in a huge wave of funding for server admins, some of which could have been passed on to fund software dev. It would also have massively reduced the number of accounts that were created and then never used.

I could be an Olympic hopeful in that category for sure.

I worked in the back at a few places. I might be good at it. Been a while and I am old. I want to watch someone else break stuff.

I guess art handlers and warehouse people might destroy every one though...

Wondering if you’d mind using the #USPol tag on this stuff? I like boosting important pol stuff, but I’ve had complaints, and I can’t add CWs or hashtags to what I boost. It’s going to be a long nasty election season and people should have easy ways to filter.

📷 by Artist: #JohnDrysdale in Loc.: unknown, England UK 🇬🇧 1986 - Title: "My Greatest Friend" Series - #Streetart #Art #Retro #Animals #Elephant #Artist #Photography #Fotografie #BnW ➡️ #APhotoLove

Photograph. A black and white photo of a little girl sitting on the leg of a reclining elephant and reading. The photo shows the two of them in a meadow. The little blonde girl with white knee-high socks is sitting on the elephant with her legs crossed and is engrossed in reading a Yogi Bear book, while the elephant looks calmly ahead.
Info: The photo is part of a series and comes from the popular illustrated book "Our Peaceable Kingdom" by John Drysdale, a heart-warming ode to friendship between different animal species. About the elephant who had grown up with the girl, he said: "He had the unusual ability to sit on his haunches. Amazing.

Fun Fact: You can create a word in German to say pretty much anything, but you'd better declare a really long buffer before you try.

I'm Afrikaans. The language has the same feature which made learning German a lot easier.
Tweebuffelsmeteenskootmorsdoodgeskietfontein is the name of a farm in South Africa. It has its own wikipedia entry. It means "the spring where two buffaloes were shot stone-dead with one shot"

Shifting our focus from fascist politicians and fascist political policy for a moment, I'd like to share this short explainer by the White Rose Society about the growing street nazi organizational tactic known as "Active Clubs," updated from an original submission by the White Rose Society to an Australian Senate Committee investigating right wing extremist movements in that country.

https://thewhiterosesociety.writeas.com/active-clubs-and-accelerationists-neo-nazi-tactics-and-strategies-in-australia

Active Clubs & Accelerationists – Neo-Nazi tactics and strategies in Australia

"Active clubs rally their members around the motto “Tribe and Train,” portraying themselves as contemporary Aryan warriors preparing for a racial conflict while advocating for “White unity” in support of their perceived communities. There are active clubs throughout the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Europe, Latin America and New Zealand. Currently, all active clubs in Australia fall under the umbrella of the European Australian Movement and the National Socialist Network, though there have been other short-lived independent active clubs in Australia over the last two years."

As the above quote indicates, while this material was originally produced for a government inquiry in Australia (that seemed more worried about obscuring the existence of violent fascist organizations or gangs there,) the Active Club model is a Pig Empire-wide phenomenon. In the past, I've written a little bit about Active Clubs and the American creator of the organizational model, Robert Rundo, but it now seems clear that despite Rundo's legal troubles in the United States, nazi Active Clubs are a problem that's here to stay. If your local street nazi crews have started to organize around MMA training, custom active wear, and militant accelerationism, there's a pretty good chance you're looking at the Active Club model in action.

On one hand, what we're really talking about here are white identarian, neo-Nazi street gangs and it does no good to aggrandize them. On the other hand, Rundo himself created the Active Club model after fleeing to Europe and hooking up with numerous other violent nazi groups to swap tips, tricks, and organizational techniques. Furthermore the growth of Active Clubs in the street nazi scene all over the Pig Empire makes it clear that these groups are a plague that is both persistent, and spreading.

Although I've repeatedly told you that fascism itself is a legalist, top-down political philosophy and that fascist regimes are invariably installed by nazis bearing official papers and wearing badges, the truth is that brownshirts have to come from somewhere and even street nazi gang violence is still violence; and thus a danger to anyone who opposes these ideas, or simply doesn't look like the street nazis themselves. It never hurts to know your enemy, and recognizing a nascent neo-Nazi Active Club in your area might just be the difference between stopping it, and being a victim of the violence these groups inherently bring.

I must say the commercials I’m seeing here in ATL are much Blacker than the commercials I see in NYC.

Ivey Janette McClelland 4 months ago • mastodon (AP)

Hopefully no annoying political ads.

StillIRise1963 4 months ago • mastodon (AP)

@IveyJanette No. Haven’t seen any. But commercials about normal things have whole Black families in them. Or, Black dads and kids. Just normal family stuff I don’t normally see.

That's great. They don't even show those ads in LA or the Bay Area.

And billboards and such. Growing up in the west, living in Atlanta was eye opening and a learning experience.

This story just got legs: the AP story is no longer available… which means the AP no longer stands behind it. JD has a lot more explaining to do… https://mastodon.social/@Dhmspector/112845172927677755
