I had 3 hours straight of back-to-back intense meetings on various aspects of satellites destroying astronomy with different groups of people. This dishcloth I knitted during the meetings expresses my sentiment perfectly.

If history is any guide, the asymmetric use of violence by the elite against the masses, and the gaslighting of the masses that violence “never works” and is “illegitimate” is the greatest tool in their oppression of us.

If I had the power to let everyone truly see what our farm is going through, I would use it.

Watching crops slowly fade because of a lack of water is heartbreaking.

Sometimes words and photos aren't enough to show what this journey really feels like, but we remain hopeful and keep moving forward.

Sony is ending the sale of physical discs for new Playstation games. This switch to only digital sales is a move that takes away even more rights from consumers.

At my local grocery store a package of vegan cheese is almost 7 dollars. A larger package of cow cheese is $2.22. This is because the dairy industry gets government subsidies, but the plant based industry does not. Cow secretions should be more expensive than something made from plants. I've made vegan cheese. It's not some crazy industrial process. It's simple. It's also time-consuming and you have to make rejuvelac.

'No one has complained' isn't compliance evidence. It means users gave up before reaching you. Learn more from AFixt. https://afixt.com/the-business-case-for-accessibility-why-inclusive-design-is-a-smart-investment/

I never, EVER want to hear that getting rid of Netanyahu will suddenly make Israeli society any less monstrous.

Yesterday in Mea Shearim, the house of a prominent Jewish anti-zionist activist was set on fire BY OTHER JEWS while his family was stil inside.

for confused Europeans working through the shifting sands of the #geopolitics of the modern world:

2016: #USA is the #military "protector of the free world"

2026: #Ukraine is "protector of the free world" ( #USA has devolved into that incoherent bigot uncle you do your best to ignore at family gatherings)

adjust your budgets and attitudes accordingly

PM Carney is once again supporting U.S. violence and impunity.

Canada can’t control Trump’s chaos. But we can take a clear stand for lives, livelihoods, international law and global stability.

New Democrats say: stop the war.

There is a 20% chance of tomorrow.

And this is the #SoundEffects description I've written today to describe a sound I recorded: A stream of bubbles, each making an ascending whistle rather than a pop with 1 higher and much louder than the rest near the end. In the background, there is a descending, muffled, underwater fart or raspberry.

maybe we can fix it by demanding age/ID verification for those marketplaces ;)

if AI companies get access to all copyrighted works for free because "it isn't possible to train an AI without it", should we not give free access to all copyrighted works to children because it is not possible to train one without it?

Another possible framing: the Summer of 2026: the Summer before things got really hot.

Linux guys will be obnoxious even to other Linux users for working at a real world job where sometimes you have to deal with Microsoft.

Great job guys, people are eventually switching to Linux despite of you, not because.

While the Competition & Markets Authority halted its investigation into market collusion by seven UK house builders, (in return for a bung into the affordable housing scheme budget of £100m), class action lawyers have spotted the potential for a much larger class action case based on the unfair manipulation of markets via the sharing of commercially sensitive information between firms...

Things may be about to get interesting!

RT: @ShehabKhan Apparently it’s anti-establishment to go to a private school, work in the city, spend decades in politics and have billionaire mates around you who just gift you millions of pounds

Just had a small conversation with a big energy drain.
