Interview: "We were not prepared for what we were going to see".

"More than 150,000 Syrians remain unaccounted for after being held in Assad’s prisons, & many are believed to be buried in mass graves."

There's a struggle to preserve the evidence due to Israel's shelling & also due to the new regime not prioritizing tracking the Assad government’s crimes

Congratulations to President Musk who has gotten what he wanted unlike Trump. The bill now passing by a very large margin continues existing funding, provides disaster aid and farm aid and that’s it. Shutdowns are bad and hurt people who can afford it least, so at least that’s going to be avoided.

Every day, there is talk of a proposed 'ceasefire,' yet every day, Israel kills more Palestinians and commits more massacres and war crimes. How many more lives must be lost before the world puts an end to this horror?

I say this as someone running a sizable Discord: We have to move past Discord for community.

2025 let's bring back BLOGS, RSS, and FORUMS

The year is 2026. Musk's administration has successful made ad-blockers illegal. Site accessible now requires a valid HHS permit and pre-authorization from insurance providers. The colonization of Antarctica has begun.

It's not all bad news though... Underground meshtastic networks are becoming a major hub for the resistance. Predatory CEOs continue to live in fear. Taco Bell brings back the Double Decker™.

#Microfiction (at least it better be)

Warum ich #Weihnachten nie lieben lernte? Unter anderem deshalb, weil das bei uns zuhause so aussah: Gruselig und furchteinflößend war er, der "Weihnachtsmann", der mit verstellt-tiefer Stimme und bizarrer Maskerade (unter der Vater oder Nachbar steckte) lospolterte, ob man "denn auch immer schön artig gewesen" sei, weil man sonst von ihm Prügel mit der Rute bekommen würde.
Als Gegenleistung für eine Puppe u. den Weihnachtsteller mit Orange war fehlerfrei ein langes Gedicht aufzusagen.

I have a personal theory that Floorp is "reverse Lululemon". I will not be explaining this post.

Used the laser cutter to make a holder for my class set of spirographs — for the lessons I like to do my students need to know how many gears the rings have. They write a program that produces the same curve using turtle. (with older students we do the trig, which I just call “magic circle functions” for the grade fives)

This will make it all go much smoother!
This is 8 sets packed into one box!

So, yeah, that perp walk by the NYPD, with cop mayor presiding?

Spectacle, to divert attention from this:

"At the DBK4 delivery station in Queens, New York, cops swarmed and arrested an Amazon driver who stopped his van in support of the strike. Then they forcibly broke the picket line. In anticipation of a possible strike at JFK8, police had camped out by the facility in advance."

All right, there’s this place beyond the Internet called Meatspace. It’s kind of like the Metaverse except you flail about with these fleshly things called limbs.

And you can do incredible activities there like taste and smell things. But also interact with real human beings while they move about their flesh-parts.

Anyway, in Meatspace, I’ve met a variety of people. Some of them can also be found on the Internet, quite often on social media platforms like Mastodon, Reddit, or LinkedIn. Sometimes they connect with me on those platforms too, and they’re exactly the same person on social media as they are on Meatspace.

It’s incredible!

This is what Disney has deleted from Pixar's Win or Lose. This beautiful, moving, relatable sequence that would've meant so much to so many kids for years to come was not worth the risk of controversy to them.

Trans art is being censored. Our stories are being erased.

So I want people to see this.
