Shockingly, bombing Yemen for 30 days achieved… checks notes… burning 1bln, losing a bunch of MQ-9 drones at 30 mil a pop to farmers with SAMs, 2 F18s at 60 mil a pop, and a ‘pause’ where everyone pinky-swears to maybe chill. Meanwhile, CENTCOM’s genius plan is to copy Israel’s 8-month Lebanon fail, but squeeze it into 30 days. Somehow that didn’t work either. Who could’ve guessed?
Another day, another L for the dread empire.
Today is M.E. awareness day.
I was diagnosed with M.E. and P.O.T.S. in 2020. Prior to my diagnosis I was a seagoing worker in the arctic, an avid backcountry hiker and a busy musician in spite of both severe PTSD and fibromyalgia.
The summer of 2019 I got sick while working up north. It progressed to a terrible lung/strep infection. I was treated four times following that for walking pneumonia and became sick with another lung infection in late 2019 after travelling in Vietnam.
I kept trying to push through my exhaustion, returning to sea in spite of my symptoms. We live in a society that believes your value is directly tied to your work and productivity. It's a cruel and ableist lens to view human worth that way.
My body has never fully recovered. M.E. has been a rollercoaster of ups and downs and I feel like I've missed out on so much in the last five years of my life. I have tried to go back to some sort of career several times since then only to find myself in worse shape. These last few months of deep rest are the first time I've managed to find some balance with my illness. Sometimes I use a cane. Sometimes I don't. My mobility shifts like the wind. Please know that you aren't alone and many people with long covid may also be experiencing M.E.
It's easy to miss our existence. We just aren't there anymore, and it shouldn't have to stay this way.

So #Trump claims he wants American companies to build in #America, yet he's willing to receive a 400M plane from a foreign government, which will have to be stripped down & retrofitted due to #NationalScurity concerns, at a possible price tag of 500M.
Why doesn't he just use an American plane? America has #Boeing.

Is @EUCommission going to make it clear to #Meta and #zuckerberg that this would be a total breach of European privacy laws as nobody would escape the recognition if any idiot in the EU decides to wear this. Clearly people will capture as many people as they can. This evil must be nipped in the bud not after the product is readily available in the EU market.

@Migueldeicaza Hey! Sorry to bug you, but I was curious if you've seen something like this with SwiftGodot on existing projects: After migrating to 0.60.1 and Godot 4.4.0, any time I call super on a Godot object (e.g., `super._ready` or `super._physicsProcess(delta:), I am getting a crash that I don't understand. I attached an example of the stacktrace.
Is this a result of me doing something? I haven't tried with a fresh project, yet, but have been messing with it for an afternoon to no luck.

“The damage [high #immigration] has done to our country is incalculable,” #KeirStarmer said.
…while the public expect the Reform UK leader to come out with anti-migrant rhetoric, whether they agree with it or not, it seems wholly out of place when uttered by Starmer.
There’s a good reason for this, of course. Because he is the same Keir Starmer who, when running to be #Labour leader at the start of 2020, pledged to “defend migrants’ rights” if he got the job.

1. No brakes: fixed at the LBS, too dangerous to try to ride back WITHOUT BRAKES.
2. Handlebar tape falling off. Replacing that today with the bargain bin tape.
3. No handlebar ends. Ordered online, LBS prices too rich for my blood.
4. BAD TIRES. VERY BAD TIRES. Cracking and barely pliable. Good thing I did not go very fast, LOL. Last time I ever ride on those tires. Replacing with the bargain basement priced Bontrager R3 Hard Case tires ($10 each! Or more like $20 each because I bought the wrong tubes and too embarrassed to go back and get the right ones LOL).

in reply to AI6YR Ben • • •Random bicycling story: I paused at a pass through in our neighborhood on the way to the LBS, and an ENTIRE peloton of road bikers came through at that pass through. First time that has happened!
Actually a surprisingly friendly group, and a bunch said "nice bike" as they passed (obviously not seeing the sorry shape of the tires and handlebar tape, LOL). Wonder which club/team that was 🤔
