"Eat the Rich / Fuck Elon" Seen on a Tedla dealership in Langford, BC, Canada

Spotted on our walk to the brewery in #Portsmouth today. You want to know what we never see here in Portsmouth? Russian flags. It's because we know what Russians are. And we fly flags because we know what Ukrainians are. We like Ukraine in Portsmouth. #Ukraine #SlavaUkraini #Flag

If you know of or are involved with an organization that helps people in a way that the #TrumpAdministration doesn't approve of, and the org is worried about continuing to do their work while protecting their employees, volunteers, and clients, I am happy to meet for free with the org to work […]

Call the White House switchboard 202−456−1414 and tell Trump to stop the destruction of America and go back to Mar-a- Lago. #StopTrumpNow #TrumpDidThis #RepublicansDidThis #RepublicansOwnThis #GOPKakistocracy #GOPWeirdos #NoRepublicansEverAgain #USPol

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: an administration (and its supporters) who believe that they are not limited by the rule of law have no moral or philosophical claim to the protection of the rule of law. “The law is whatever we say it is” warrants the same in response.

The Internet is mostly shit these days, but every once in a great while I stumble across an incredible, passion-project website. This one is hand-animated weird art and it is worth your time as a fun decompressing thing in between your doomscrolling sessions. https://floor796.com I don't […]

#SolarCooking bread 2. This just came out, haven’t tried it yet, but it looks sounds and smells perfect. Dang! ☀️🍞😎

Next #SolarCooking experiment: bread — small loaves or rolls, you pick what to call them. They came out soft, but I wouldn’t blink at getting something like this as an appetizer at a fancy restaurant. I do have to grease the pans though, and next time bake […] [Original post on norcal.social]

A bunch of boring things you might want to do soon if you can: Getting your MMR shot reupped*, your passport in order**, all age-appropriate preventive care (mammogram, colonoscopy, cholesterol check), eating more produce, getting established with a primary care doctor, getting prescriptions […]

Second #SolarCooking experiment. Wow! Came out just about perfect — a little bit dry. Either add a tiny bit more water, or cook 5-10 minutes less; this was an hour.

Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. In times of troubles, chop wood, carry water. Today, chopping wood was installing some Ikea drawers that I hadn’t got to yet.

First test run of gosun fusion solar cooker: half successful. Heating stew worked great, cooking rice was a flop. I’m not greatly surprised by the rice, it’s basically boiling water which is among the hardest things to do: water has a huge heat capacity, so it […] [Original post on norcal.social]

First impression: Gosun Fusion solar cooker. It looks pretty solid. The tube is supposed to be double-walled, with vacuum: a thermos, basically. That should enable it to get pretty warm inside… we’ll see! Today was a very dark and rainy day, but tomorrow is […] [Original post on norcal.social]

My kinda career official: “Come and find me, assholes,” says one federal career official, directing the insult at #Musk, #Trump, and their allies and officials working in vain to plug the wellspring of leaking […]

Baby steps back into #scheme hacking… I decided to write a regular expression package and sort of slid into having a multi-end-point recognizer — something close to what flex might generate. Expressing a fair bit of the scheme lexical syntax in my regexp machine proved to be surprisingly easy […]

Just called my Rep, Nancy #Pelosi. I just learned from Reuters & it was confirmed by Sen Wyden that Elon Musk & his NON-FEDERAL employees have taken control of the federal payment system, which means they can stop checks to any private individual in the […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

We need to go beyond calling on Dems to reject RFK and others (though I think Whitehouse may be on board--not sure abt Fetterman). We need to get better at assigning responsibility to Republicans when they confirm and the inevitable happens. You will be responsible for the dead children.

I hope the new Executive Order To Combat Anti-Semitism has a tip line so I can report a dangerous foreigner from an extremist state, filling the country with his anchor babies, who engages in public Nazi salutes and endorses anti-Semitic theories about the Great Replacement

A wise friend of mine just said: #Trump reacts when he thinks he looks like he is losing. It’s why the opposition inside and outside need to just attack all the time.

White House rescinds Federal Aid Freeze. Resistance is not futile. Let this galvanize you in the fight against Trump and his authoritarianism.
