Platt. Zufrieden 😊
Morgen Abend ist nach der Arbeit noch Betriebshof-Feier anlässlich des 50jährigen Bestehens.
Meine Vorgesetzte/Kollegin/total nette Frau meint, ich soll mich rausputzen. Sie hätte was vor und außerdem wollen wir tanzen. 💃🏻🕺🏻🪩
Ich habe in meinen Kleiderschrank geschaut 😫🫣. Ich bin ahnungslos, aber vielleicht fällt mir morgen früh was ein. 🤔
Bis dahin bin ich erstmal im Bett. Handy aus. Der Jungspund gräbt immer noch.

'Miss Palestine' Nadeen Ayoub to compete in global pageant to show 'we are human beings'
The 27-year-old has accused Israel of genocide and says she's the voice of a people who refused to be silenced. Her appearance at Miss Universe will be the first time Palestinians have been represented at the contest.Sky News
I forgot to mention. I also learnt to loathe Donald Trump not much later because of the Central Park Five, the Miss Universe competition and his general creepyness. Even though I'd stopped watching pageants, all those competitions were always on the tv news and in print media.
But, as I like smarts (and attractiveness) more than looks (not that I'd say *that* out aloud as I wanted to live), I had plenty of other people I found fascinating like Countdown Vorders (boo for her then long time conservatism), artists, musicians, scientists, writers & historians, and a lot of comedians.
Activists are the most attractive, though. 🙏

it will be wild to see what these people will come up with today. because i think they are going to respond today to my "final stand" email from yesterday
i already have enough to report them, since they already gave a definitive no. giving them a third chance to just make the update (with a GDPR violation hanging over them if they refuse again) is only for my own sake, because doing the legal stuff wastes energy i need for other things
my fucking phone carrier has decided to treat my new personal identity number (PIN) as a legally separate person and are refusing to update it.they're either saying that they want to keep me on file as a non-existing male person, or they're saying that they want to cancel my phone plans, which would be a breach of contract, i already double-checked
so after two weeks of trying to make them do this, i am trying one last thing: sending them a "right to rectification" request as per article 16 of the GDPR. they are legally required to update the PIN they have on file for me
i can't believe it looks like THIS of all things is what i have to take someone to court over. wtf
i hope they realise how much they are fucking this up for themselves
it actually doesn't matter if i'm their best customer or if they cancel my accounts effective immediately (which would be a clear violation of terms).
it's the fact that they are handling and storing my personal information that obligates them to keep it accurate and up-to-date. they even must store a lot of info on me for accounting purposes, because i am already a customer since a year back.
and as i mentioned in a followers-only subthread, all i need to do now is nothing at all. the GDPR and swedish telecom laws make it clear that they must update my PIN.
i guess that's why she keeps sending me more messages even though i have stopped saying anything new in response.

More info on this... apparently this feeds the Western Tiger Swallowtail and Pale Swallotail butterfly.
Apparently this was a valued food of the Chumash here, but the pits... they are poisonous, but you can leach the poisons out before cooking. Similar to acorns. I wonder who figured out you had to leach all these plants before they could be eaten, and the process, 10,000 plus years ago?!?!

This leads to a fork in the road: one way leads toward domestication by deliberately encouraging the ones that are good to eat, the other to processing technology.

Pressed for Time: The looming challenge small-town newspapers are facing
The last couple of decades have been tough on newspapers. Kansas has lost about 50 publications in the past 20 years.Tom Shine (KMUW)
I put black oil sunflower seed and water out for the birds and squirrels every day. My neighbor used to put out unsalted peanuts plus or minus hulled sunflower seed on his balcony, but recently stopped. Some pigeons took up in his roof and they cause all kinds of mayhem, so no more peanuts for now.
Which means they're all at my place. 😆 I just sent him a picture of TEN pigeons on my patio. It's getting to be Hitchcock levels of pigeons out there in the morning. Luckily I find them funny.
Rock doves, which is why pigeon nests look so ridiculous. In nature they nest on rocky ledges and only need a few sticks to stop eggs from rolling over the edge. But if you look at the kind of nests they make in cities, it's funny and then kind of sad.
"Rock doves have been domesticated for several thousand years, giving rise to the domestic pigeon. They may have been domesticated as long as 5,000 years ago."
That's a long history! I had no idea. I thought pigeons were their own species, and people happened to keep them as pets sometimes, kind of like parakeets.
After thousands of years living among humans, I'm not surprised at all that they adapted to our living environments, like cats and dogs. I bet the ones that survive in the city are way more adaptable in their behavior than wild rock doves. There's pretty strong selection pressure in that direction for any animal that lives around human-generated complexity and chaos. Every time there's been a mass extinction event in the past, new capabilities emerged when life finally recovered. I bet this coming age will be full of very clever and adaptable creatures, and pigeons will still be around.
It's #BandcampFriday today I've heard!
Me and my band #RYAUmeå released our debut album just before summer, and this is thus your _first chance_ to get it on a Bandcamp Friday!
We play a kind of #jazz/ #folk fusion with a bunch of influences from all over the place, though our Swedish heritage is probably most apparent, taking inspiration from the nature and places around us both here in #Umeå and elsewhere.
Have a listen!

in reply to DavidsCreation 🇵🇸 • • •The image shows a Sega Mega Drive 2 console placed on a desk. The console is black with a "16-BIT" label on the disc tray, and it features a power switch, volume control, and a reset button. A black controller is placed on top of the console, and a gray controller is visible to the left. The console is connected to a computer monitor displaying a colorful game scene, likely from a Sega game. A Sega Mega Drive 2 game case is visible in the background. The desk is cluttered with various gaming accessories, including a blue controller and a black bag.

The image shows two vintage SEGA game console boxes placed on a wooden floor. The box on the left is for the SEGA Mega-CD II, featuring a black and blue design with an image of the console and a label indicating it includes 7 games. The box on the right is for the SEGA Mega Drive, with a black and purple design, showcasing the console and controllers, and highlighting its 16-bit graphics and digital stereo sound capabilities. Both boxes are slightly worn, suggesting they have been handled or stored for some time. In the background, a bed with a green cover is partially visible, and a dumbbell is seen on the floor to the left of the boxes.
