Biking is like an addiction to me now.
In that it makes my leg feel worse.
But offers a pretty solid relief from the leg injury.
in reply to Flesh

Yes, my leg injury is oddly specific to the point that biking is almost entirely comfortable, but trying to walk down stairs is likely to hurt at some point.
in reply to Flesh

I feel some need to clarify that while this is annoying and unpleasant, it's more Flesh Lore than venting out issues looking for sympathy. This time, at least.

Ok, internet detective squad, help a sister out. This poster hangs in the office of a friend’s wife. So far, none of us have been able to discern its meaning. Reverse image search has been of no help. The puzzle solving part of my brain is screaming at me because I know I’m missing something so obvious I will be embarrassed when it is revealed. So, embarrass me already!

I have STRONG opinions about the IB program, as implemented in Ontario. But it's still much much better than the bullshit that's AP in the US.

My daughter did AP, and I thought it was going to be like the A levels. But instead, it was an insane workload, and when talking to universities, not a single one counted it as college credit, which was the whole "selling" point of the classes. She was so burned out by the experience I had a really hard time keeping her from dropping out of school entirely. I have strong opinions about the AP program. ;)

I know some that are, but I try not to ask because when I do they get way too into it.

Former speechwriter to President #GeorgeWBush, #DavidFrum, said that if the U.S. #SupremeCourt hands power to President #DonaldTrump to wage his #TradeWar, then they're effectively killing the #Constitution.

#NoMonarchs #NoKings #StopTrump
Speaking to #MSNBC's #NicolleWallace on Thursday, Frum called Trump's #tariff actions "the most extreme thing that he's ever done in this way."

I miss having boring, qualified people in positions of government where they executed their duties in a normal way that I didn’t have to perceive and who didn’t unleash policies on the regular trying to give my family and friends infectious eradicated diseases.



People, media personalities, and/or accounts who try and sell you on “Democrats aren’t doing anything to stop Trump” are lying to you.

I don’t know what every one of them is up to behind the scenes, but uniting us all against Trump isn’t it.

Amazing exchange. RFK Jr. fell right into the trap. But I still blame Senator Cassidy that he’s there in that seat at all.

“Contemplation” (2018) by Powerfaith

This track leans hard into the Christian side of Naga rock—no surprise, since Nagaland is the most Baptist place on Earth. But what makes it special is how it weaves in touches of indigenous melody and rhythm, folding that heritage right into the rock foundation. It’s faith-driven, but still unmistakably Naga.

Are there any exceptions the police can use to search your phone?

One of the reasons why the police will be able to search your phone without your consent is if they are able to justify using legal powers such as *terrorism*

This is just a little reminder for those attending this Saturday's #PalestineAction demonstration

Failure to supply a passcode, what is known as an RIPA notice, can lead to a maximum sentence of 2 years in prison

Pro tip: leave it at home



"As detailed in a yet-to-be-peer-reviewed study, coauthors Petter Törnberg, AI and social media assistant professor, and research assistant Maik Larooij simulated a social media platform that was populated entirely by AI chatbots, powered by OpenAI's GPT-4o large language model, to see if there was anything we could do to stop social media from turning into echo chambers.

They tested out six specific intervention strategies — including switching to chronological news feeds, boosting diverse viewpoints, hiding social statistics like follower counts, and removing account bios — to stop the platform from turning into a polarized hellscape.

To their dismay, none of the interventions worked to a satisfactory degree, and only some showed modest effects. Worse yet, as Ars Technica reports, some of them made the situation even worse.

For instance, ordering the news feed chronologically reduced attention inequality but floated extreme content to the top.

It's a sobering reality that flies in the face of companies' promises of constructing a "digital town square" — as billionaire and X owner Elon Musk once called it — where everybody coexists peacefully.

With or without intervention, social media platforms may be doomed to devolve into a highly polarized breeding ground for extremist thinking."

"Sept. 4 (UPI) -- A Danish wind power company filed suit against the President Donald Trump administration Thursday seeking to reverse a stop-work order on its nearly completed Revolution Wind project off the coast of New England. ....

"The offshore wind farm is 80% complete and was expected to begin operations next year. It has 65 turbines, would have a production capacity of 704 megawatts and would give off enough power for more than 350,000 homes across Rhode Island and Connecticut."

Fidèle à sa tradition les libéraux cherchant à se faire passer pour des démocrates, ils sont tout de suite à genoux prêts à astiquer l'auto-proclamé roi des français en échange de leur part du gâteau, ce sur le dos des serfs et vilains qui font vivre leurs châteaux ('vilains' au sens médiéval du terme : aujourd'hui on aurait pu dire "pa-culs" s'ils n'étaient pas devenus petites mains de la FNSEA et de ses lobbies de l'agrochimie).

Sad and scary to hear about the funicular crash in #Lisbon yesterday.

I've been on that and other old funiculars over the years – Lisbon, Hong Kong, Austria, Lyon, Paris – you assume they're well maintained and have backup safeties like elevators. Clearly not in this case.

"Someone Saved My Life Tonight" is a song with music by British musician #EltonJohn and lyrics by #BernieTaupin, from John's 1975 album #CaptainFantasticAndTheBrownDirtCowboy. It was released as a single on 20 June 1975, the only single released from the album. Like the rest of the album, the song is autobiographical, and addresses an attempted suicide by John. At 6 minutes and 45 seconds, "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" was twice as long as a typical single.

Finally managed to stack this , it's scary being up there. Can't even stand up yet and probably need to re-level everything. It's awesome to see it built even as a first test .. going to try at least standing on this , we will see how far I get before I move to prototype 2, will probably make a concrete pad so that it's super level..

Center for American Rights, a self-proclaimed protector of free speech, files FCC complaint against Jimmy Kimmel for "unlawful politicking".
Kimmel is accused of hosting too many Democratic guests and not disclosing which candidates he's donated to.
I am thinking I should register complaints of my own about Fox "News" and Newsmax.
