Huh. #TIL a galleon wrecked on the Oregon Coast in the 1600s. Historians finally figured out which one it was because indigenous people kept bringing huge blocks of beeswax to Astoria to trade, and "[o]nly the Spanish traded beeswax across the Pacific in large quantities, which was needed to make candles for churches in their colonies in the Americas."

A close-up photograph of Western Arctic Shootingstar (Primula frigida) flowers in the Nome Creek Valley of the White Mountain National Recreation Area, Alaska. The flowers have vibrant magenta petals that curve backward, exposing the dark, pointed stamens. They are set against a blurred, natural background, with bright green leaves visible at the base of the tall, slender stems. The sunlight highlights the delicate texture of the petals and the lush green foliage.

You mean the “feta-verse?” Or was it the “fedee-verse?” or the “federated universe?” There are probably a dozen people on the planet who know what “federated messaging” is. Imagine if the “Internet” has been called, “TCP/IP Net.” The only people I meet who like the term are the early pioneers, and many of their peers dislike it, too. But it’s probably far too late to change it.

What ;'s wrong with "fediverse" as a name?

I like "Fediverse". Maybe it just needs a flag. [insert Eddie Izzard joke here].

"These “true crime” shows describe women like Olivia, victims of domestic violence who kill their abusers in self-defense as evil, manipulative, promiscuous, insane, and monsters. The prison staff who watched the episode recounted how the prosecutor called the actor portraying Olivia a violent psychopath.

In 2015, nine years after my conviction for killing my abusive boyfriend, I was contacted by a production company... When I didn’t reply, the next set of letters was menacing: We’re going to do the show with or without you. You should want to help others avoid your fate."

The goal of women’s “true crime” shows is to make us look like violent monsters instead of victims of violence. This media operates as the carceral state’s cultural minister—it manipulates viewers into believing we, as survivors of abuse, should be punished for being alive."

People with guns are like bees with singers. Most are ok, but it's the one in the many thousands that will cause an avalanche of terror and chaos. And we have no licensing, insurance, or certification requirements.

I've been formally trained by law enforcement to maintain and operate firearms, but I do not own one because liability exceeds my need to have one. Unfortunately, we have way too many aggressive Barney Fife simpletons out there with guns
Illinois has pretty strict gun laws... but illegal guns are still out there - and this guy probably did have a permit. If he bought it within the last few years, he would even have to have had safety training.

One way bee escape box - attempt to extract bees from a travel trailer without losing the hive or spraying chemicals. End of the tube will be affixed to the current exit hole for the hive. Bees will crawl through tube to red bee escape (one way, they can leave but not return). They end up in a hive nuc with wax and hopefully will assume it an extension to the hive. Eventually all the brood and rhe queen in original hive will move out into the new box. Maybe. #beekeeping

I know plenty of people who are aware of Mastodon but don't leave Twitter either because they either think it's complicated, or think others think it's complicated and it won't ever catch on.

I understand that concern when it comes to those who make their living on and through Twitter. But it does need to be made clear, making an account on a Mastodon instance doesn't make your Twitter account disappear into the ether. (yet.)
@spudwart

100% we'd love to see more people drop Twitter completely and move to the decentralised alternatives, but a lot of people (especially nonprofit orgs we hope to work with) can't do that.

Until then, we'll be encouraging them to try it out so making the move comes easier later.

The Obamas endorsed Kamala Harris bright and early this morning. Here’s their statement:
THE OFFICE OF BARACK AND
MICHELLE OBAMA
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 26, 2024
Statement by President Obama and Mrs. Obama
Endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris
This week, we got a chance to catch up with a friend who we've known for more than 20 years.  … We couldn't be more excited for her -- or more thrilled to
endorse Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee for
President.
We agree with President Biden -- choosing Kamala was one of the best decisions he's made. She has the resume to prove it: As a prosecutor, she defended the Constitution and fought for folks who deserve a fair shake. As California's AG, she worked hard to ensure everyone was treated fairly, no matter who they are or who they love. As a Senator, she was one of the strongest voices holding the Trump administration accountable. And, as Vice President, she helped lead the charge on expanding the Affordable Care Act, combating climate change, fighting for reproductive freedom, equality, and the rule of law.
But Kamala has more than a resume. She has the
vision, the character, and the strength that this critical moment demands. There is no doubt in our mind that
Kamala Harris has exactly what it takes to win this election and deliver for the American people. At a time when the stakes have never been higher, she gives us all reason to hope.
We know over the next few months, Kamala will continue to make her case directly to the American
people - Democrats, Republicans, and independents alike. As she does, she will have our full support - and we look forward to watching her unite our party and our country around a vision for a brighter, fairer, more prosperous future.
We're going to do everything we can to elect Kamala Harris the next President of the United States. And we
hope you'll join us.

With so much attention on individual politicians’ temperaments and on the country’s political temperature generally, it’s easy to forget that US governance is based around structures. These structures are being undermined, but they also have design flaws, if you will, that have been present from the start--as explored in a new book by this week's CounterSpin guest.

In my case, it was my dad's youngest brother. When I was a kid he was interesting and clever; he was an electronics engineer, and used to help me with physics homework. Then toward the end of his life he became a full-on extreme-right nut-job with all the faux-patriotic "lest we forget" crap, and it was so sad to me. His kids, my cousins, were infected with it as well, so I've lost them and their families as well. Sad.

You know how i *know* #CollectiveEconomicAction scares #capitalism more than violent uprisings do?
Because media never talks about it, but loves to hype the threat of violent overthrow.
Plus, violence is always profitable to the billionaires, and Strikes+Boycotts+Community deprives billionaires of what they need in order to stay On Top.
Seems obvious what we need is to boycott selectively first, then across the board once we dismantle the worst offenders.

#Poilievre is trying to make a mountain out of a decriminalization molehill. What he says is a secret plan to decriminalize hard drugs was posted onto an open government website, and only states that the Trudeau government will work with any jurisdiction that wants to use decriminalization to reduce opioid deaths in the area. It isn't a national plan at all. #CanPoli #CDNPoli

Nick Pilon mastodon (AP)
@crispius I think the part to 🙄 at isn't the decriminalization side, it's the idea that this is a "secret plan" that Trudeau is going to "force" on the country.

This is (at least) the second time this year that the cons have run the "secret Liberal plans" script, and rather than explaining every time how gov't works, the response needs to be making fun of them for being fools.
