Laura Chinchilla: “Chaves alienta las disputas y siembra el odio entre cuerpos policiales“
La expresidenta Laura Chinchilla afirmó este sábado que el presidente Rodrigo Chaves alienta las disputas y siembra el odio entre los cuerpos policiales. “El modelo policial de Costa Rica se caracteriza por la dispersión del mando, así diseñado por la legislación para evitar la concentración y el abuso de poder. De ahí que resulte fundamental […]

ASSHOLE McMONEYBAGS SR: How do we get people, understandably averse to spending money in markets rife with scams and inflation while real wages are depressed, to keep spending money so we can skim off our percentage?
ASSHOLE McMONEYBAGS JR: get an AI to spend it for them
Here I am! I know, I'm late... I blame Arwen... I had my door open so she could reach me but apparently, she won't do that... I was so tired that the few hours I slept, I slept good... But when I woke up, I was greeted by smelly bits on the floor... And Arwen was very restless. So, I rushed Arwen outside. And she took her time. I needed to wee baldy too, so waiting for Arwen was rather hard... Then she got the meds and I started cleaning...
So it all took a little longer before I was able to head to the gym and all that...
Yesterday was a loooong day!! We went to the garage around noon. I had warned dad that a part of the highway was shut off and he needed to drive towards my place, and hit the other highway there. So, of course, he drove the way he always drove and... Had to drive the long way around because, heck, the highway was closed! 🤦🏼♂️ If only someone had said something... Ugh...
Im still no fan of the way how dad drives... And that didn't improve after last week... But, we got to the garage. And then... We had to wait for ages, as the man that dad had the appointment with, had an unscheduled appointment with folks that were making an outing of the garage visit... So.... We waited, a lot... I tried some of the cars, and found the keys in one of them. That... Should not happen! So, when the man *finally* had time for us, I did tell him that he had an insurance issue with the keys... And he was grateful for my telling him!
But, they got the car and it will be ready June 6th. Until then, they have an awesome loaner, that I was allowed to drive. Which was very cool, to me, at least. 😂
But, we didn't get home till past 17, when I usually go to bed around 15:30. Arwen did her things and then it was almost 17:30 when I was able to fall asleep.
My alarm woke me up at the usual time and then I found the surprises... Ugh... But Arwen felt worse than I did about it... So, hopefully, the room will be clean when I get back again... 🤞🏻
Let's get to the seated bike and do something good... catch you in a bit, when I've managed to write my journal Toot... Which will include a part what I just shared here. 😉

My latest @mondoweiss weekly briefing newsletter: Israel’s genocide in Gaza accelerates while Trump cozies up to authoritarians
Israel intensifies attacks on Gaza, openly pursuing ethnic cleansing as Trump’s erratic diplomacy creates confusion. Journalist Hassan Eslayeh is killed, and Nakba Day underscores ongoing Palestinian suffering.
As much as you think the current situation is bad, look to what has been done to the icons before and how their value and message has been coerced in the service of the status quo and the class inequality and exploitation afforded by capitalism.
The more you explore and know, the more you see the same treatment of any idea or action towards a resolution of our worlds problems.
If we can understand and respond to this, perhaps there can be a groundswell of people against the current peverse system frog marching us off the edge of a disasterous systemic ideological climate catastrophe cliff!

As requested, I just uploaded beautiful, 600dpi box scans for the SimCity Add-Ons "Architecture 1&2" to the Internet Archive. These boxes, without any changes, except a small sticker on the bottom, were used interchangeably for both IBM-PC and Amiga releases. Probably others, too.
The video features a small, light-colored kitten with distinct markings on its face and ears, set against a plain white background. Initially, the kitten is seen in a small, blurry image, gradually becoming clearer as the video progresses. The kitten's eyes are wide and expressive, and it appears to be looking directly at the camera. As the video continues, the word "hello!" appears in a simple, sans-serif font above the kitten, with a yellow hand emoji waving next to it, adding a friendly and welcoming touch. The kitten's paw is also animated to wave, enhancing the greeting. The video concludes with a bright, abstract explosion of yellow and orange hues, creating a dynamic and cheerful end.

The image shows a tweet from Jarred Sumner ([@]jarredsumner) posted on May 15. The tweet discusses the concept of "slop-driven" API design, suggesting the addition of APIs like Bun.mkdir, Bun.cp, Bun.json, and Bun.rm. The tweet humorously implies that these APIs might be added because large language models (LLMs) frequently hallucinate them. The tweet has received 44 comments, 7 retweets, 3 quotes, and 383 likes. The background of the tweet is black, and the text is white, with the username and date in a lighter shade.

The diplomatic events in Istanbul were a farce. Putin was never going to meet Zelenskyy. The negotiations were doomed from the beginning, and overall it was just a big theater for Donald Trump.
In this video, I discuss what led to this diplomatic spectacle, why it failed, and what it says about the bigger consequences for European security and the war in Ukraine.
New blog post: some lessons in community building (my career pivots, to Mastodon and the Fediverse), in a recent chat with Michelle Goodall. #CommunityBuilding #Fediverse #100DaysToOffload
I was recently interviewed by Michelle Goodall for her Meet the Community Builders series. I originally met her as a fellow member of the Community Pros of London meetup group.
Michelle was also recently named in the first Independent Impact 50 Awards recognising her impact and professionalism, which I’m absolutely thrilled to see – I’ve come to know her as a brilliant community professional and consultant, so this this feels like a really appropriate reward for her work. We had an interesting discussion about my career, how I got involved with communities over time, and also had a chat about how Mastodon and the Fediverse fit in.
I hope you enjoy the conversation, and hear some of the lessons I’ve learned over my time in different online and in-person communities.

This set is the next iteration in my style journey, and I think the cards in it are some of my best work.
The tales include (left to right, top to bottom in the photo): The Lion and the Mouse, The Frog Princess, The Three Little Pigs, The Ugly Duckling, Rapunzel, and The Tortoise and the Hare.
They’re all Human-Made. I paint, print, package, and post them all myself from my own studio. I don’t use any artificial generative nonsense.

that explains maybe why Israel was in strategic positions regarding the votes: late when the votes were opening at the end and early when the votes were already open. 😕
Yes. Israel has a government-led office to buy and try to win massive voting. For the Tel-Aviv Middle Eastern regime is key to impose propaganda in Europe.
They boast about it publicly. Plus they pay directly millions to Eurovision.
Israel se benefició, como ya analizamos a priori, del sistema de votación de Eurovisión 2024 y fue segunda del televoto gracias a la movilización sionista mientras la masacre en Gaza alcanza ya los 35.000 muertos

One thing I do not miss living in Tennessee, where the deep south and the cool north collide and have wild thunderous gettogethers on a whim, is the constant severe weather, esp the night ones. I can't tell you how many times in the 20 years we lived there that we were involved in a tornado or close call wind storm.
On April 10, 2010, we woke up with a branch of this tree in bed with us.
Miraculously, the main portion missed the house, only scrapping up against the outside and the limb was a ricochet through the window.

The image features a man wearing a helmet with yellow and black stripes, resembling a futuristic or sci-fi design. He is holding a spherical object with a glowing red center, which appears to be a weapon or gadget. The object is predominantly brown with orange accents. The man is smiling widely, showing his teeth, and his eyes are wide open, conveying excitement or anticipation. The background is a plain, warm-colored wall, providing a neutral backdrop that highlights the man and the object he is holding. At the top of the image, there is a text overlay that reads "Barrage," likely indicating the name of the object or a related action.
