Somebody in the bakery wasn't feeling it. #food #cookie

Goodnight, you glorious monsters. You creatures of the æther. To all the woodland sprites, the theys and thems and fellow divergents. To all of us folk who feel alien and misplaced. To the ones who don't fit - misshapen and strange, but who find peace and community and love and acceptance within these walls. You bloody weirdos. Us bloody weirdos. Nice to know you're not alone, innit. I cannot emphasise enough how much I love and appreciate you. What a glorious bunch. May you do your own thing in peace and love and power for all eternity. You rock. Hope you're all having a terrific night and may all the good things come to you. ❤️

It boggles my mind that people take for granted that, for each and every one of us, maximum reach is the goal, just like them!

(And then ignore evidence AND DIRECT TESTIMONY to the opposite.)

But seriously, McConnell is probably in a coma, or dead, but his office says nothing because they want to hold onto power until the last possible second before they are found out.

This ploy has been used many times over the course of history by hateful despots and their handlers. I'm not the least bit surprised by this.

A search engine that was actually "green" or "interested in being sustainable" would not deploy any LLM shit. And not make it the default.

Offloading the responsibility of not triggering synthetic text extruders when wanting to search the web is deeply cynical.

@ecosia is not a sustainable or green choice for a search engine and in their push for LLMs also destroying the meaning of search and the web itself.

Unless they change course maybe find a better search engine.

My wife is a nurse at a trauma hospital, and will be working on the 4th of July. She has asked me to ask y'all to please do your best to avoid blowing yourselves up, as doing so means she might have to work late. Thank you for your attention in this matter.

@mekkaokereke this is slaying me though

Translation for people that didn't take divinity classes when they were younger:

By "traditionalist" they mean "pro-fascist." As in, the super racist part of the Catholic Church whose founder actually helped nazis round up Jews in Lyon for the Holocaust, and who was mad when France was liberated.

As recently as a few years ago, their bishops were still denying the Holocaust publicly, and making super racist comments about muslims entering France.

The Pope says "You can't just make new bishops yourself! We need to filter out your worst ones! The pope approves bishops!"

They kept doing it.

So the Pope said, "Fine. You can keep doing that, but now you're not Catholic anymore.*"

(*Technically still Catholic, but excommunicated)

“In Thiel’s telling, the US Constitution was designed as a corrective to Britain’s “tyrannical rule of lawyers,” with a presidency, he said, built to be “more powerful than King George III.””

And just as mad?

Yesterday in #WashingtonDC, on the steps of the Capitol where protest is currently not allowed (!), an active duty officer in the #AirForce deliberately broke the law to honor his oath of service. He called for the removal of Trump, and he wore his uniform to do it.

Rep. Al Green, my favorite member of Congress, and the Removal Coalition stood with him, as did a crowd of DC protesters.

Of all the shows we might have watched as kids, surprisingly Scooby Doo is the one that I feel prepared us best for real life:
A stoner with constant munchies talking to his dog, a pair of lesbians, and a wannabe jock discover over and over again that bad things are caused by greedy, old, white men.

Behold my magnificence

That morning I will be joining a group carrying coffins and staging a funeral procession down the streets of Minneapolis to mourn those who have died in ICE custody.

Does that answer your question?

Lee Krasner. Imperative, 1976.

This is complicated. It's actually a collage of other previous paintings from decades before cut up and assembled into something new. The title says a lot, so late in her life. It's both letting go and at the same time forging ahead to live vibrantly and creatively to the end. The role of the remaining blank white space here also seems important. She lived 8 more years!

Heritage Guitars H-155M Millennium

When Gibson moved production from Kalamazoo to Nashville in the 1980s, several former employees founded Heritage Guitars to continue building in the old factory. The word ‘heritage’ has unfortunately become a rather loaded term, but the whole situation raises the question, “Does legacy follow whoever currently owns and controls the brand name, or is it tied to the people?”

It is a moot point, however, because Heritage Guitars is now owned by a company based in Singapore that also owns several other musical instrument and music-related publishing and media companies.

This particular guitar bears a strong familial resemblance to its ancestors, but with a pointier horn, a svelter headstock, and f-holes. While Heritage Guitars have continued to make traditional semi-hollow guitars with thin wood that is bent and braced for the sides and back, the Millennium series are hollowed out from a solid block of wood (with a separate top and back added).

It has the usual double humbucker and electronics associated with this type of guitar, along with gold hardware. The back and sides are natural mahogany, while the flame maple top features a gorgeous transparent purple stain that looks almost like the sort of velvety fabric that creates different patterns of dark and light when you run your hand over it.
