Good morning. Hope you're having a good weekend. Fairly chill here today. Charlie goes back to school tomorrow. So there's an end of summer feel to the day.

Just hope the weather gets the memo.

Couple of pics from a walk right back at the start of 2024.

During a town hall Wednesday in Worth County, Iowans urged Hinson to “stop lying” after she claimed that the president’s key legislation had ushered in “higher wages” and an improved cost of living.

“Higher wages?” shouted one woman incredulously. “For who? For you?”

my next few months working on Plasma accessibility will involve:

- Touch gestures for desktop zoom
- Individual zoom level and tracking for each display on multi-display systems (if you enable it, some users may prefer it acting like one giant screen)
- Shape-aware upscaling for extreme zoom levels. Makes text appear far less blurry. I'll turn it off by default.




“Con il Padova la partita più difficile, senza i tifosi sarà un deficit”
Così l'allenatore della Carrarese Calcio Antonio Calabro alla vigilia del primo match al Dei Marmi dove i giallo azzurri giocheranno senza il tifo della Curva Nord Lauro Perini: gli ultrà rimarranno fuori dall'impianto per protestare contro i ritardi nella partenza dei lavori della "loro" curva.

#Israel has done everything and far more in only the past week, than anyone accused #Assad of ever having done.

In the past week, the Israelis have used #ChemicalWeapons #WMDs in #GazaCity, and carried out the #assassination of the #PrimeMinister of #Yemen. Imagine if that had been #Paris and #Macron, or if #Iran had done it.

States have been fully isolated, invaded, and overthrown for less. But Israel gets to keep doing it, and even gets help.

Does anyone know of an at home PCR test that's still available in the US? I just went to reorder Metrix tests and can no longer get them, and looking around it appears other PCR tests are also gone. With partner and child both in college (masking,) but hubby's kid in high school (not masking, and not living with us so we have no say,) we really need accurate covid tests for all of our safety, but especially mine. Failing a PCR miracle, are any rapid tests genuinely accurate nowadays? #covid

Happy to help out, will put in an order now.

May I also ask a question?

Feel free to ignore if it's not an appropriate thing to ask, but I am curious what, if anything, you tell your kids about the support you get, and why is needed in the first place.

I've been wondering what this whole generation of children are learning about the ways their communities and governments support, (and fail to support) them.

in reply to Kennric

@kennric I always tell my students that people all around the world care for them, even when other people (government, their own families) do not always show it. I try to show them that there is good in this world because sadly many of “my kids” very rarely see the good.

🇺🇸 Estados Unidos cierra oficialmente la USAID porque "la agencia hace tiempo que se descarriló", declaró el secretario de Estado de EE.UU., Marco Rubio.

La imagen muestra un tweet del Secretario Marco Rubio ([@]SecRubio) en su cuenta de Twitter. El tweet está en inglés y español, y se refiere a una broma que Rubio hizo con el Presidente ([@]POTUS) sobre tener cuatro trabajos. El Presidente le dijo que le diera uno a su amigo [@]RussVought47, a lo que Rubio accedió. Desde enero, Rubio afirma que han ahorrado a los contribuyentes decenas de miles de millones de dólares al transferir un pequeño conjunto de programas esenciales al Departamento de Estado, y que USAID está oficialmente en fase de cierre. Rubio felicita a Russ Vought por supervisar el cierre de la agencia. El tweet incluye una traducción al español proporcionada por Google Translate.

in reply to your auntifa liza 🇵🇷 🦛 🦦

Nigella Lawson wrote a pithy takedown in one of her books about "clean eating", which she said combined the worst aspects of Nazism/fascism and, I believe, puritanism. That current bubbles close to the surface frequently, to the point where it seems like following sound advice--like eating WFPB--is an entree to a cult.

Also starting to cringe when I see fitness instructors. They look more and more like priests in the same cult--or MLM.

So this is worrisome @Gargron and #Mastodon have no way to comply with these draconian age-verification laws. This leaves it up to the instance providers. Jeezus.

Thoughts?

in reply to Seth of the Fediverse

The article makes it seem like it was a badly worded statement! Instances can do registration by approval, so they can use whatever mechanism they want to do age verification if they choose to; and, admin notes let them store the info on profiles if they want to. So, it's still up to each instance to choose whether to comply, but their framing as reported was unfortunate. I asked Andy Piper if they could release the statement (or some public sttaement), he said they're working on it.

oh! interesting! so its an issue with the voice stuff specifically, not just data! ... iiiiiinteresting. that suggests lots of folks on vzw arent using voice over wifi, their voice calls are going out over voice channels not just 'in with the rest of the data'
in reply to Viss

It also means that I can text other iOS users over the Verizon 5g home wifi box, but straight up sms to Android users aren’t going through.

Gotta love these barren and weedy walled gardens 🤪

A imagem mostra um gatinho de pelagem cinza e marrom deitado de costas, com os olhos fechados e uma expressão de relaxamento. Ele está deitado em um lençol azul claro com desenhos infantis, incluindo símbolos e letras. O gatinho parece estar em um estado de profunda tranquilidade, com as patas estendidas para cima. Sobre a imagem, há um texto em português que diz: "estou cansada de dar um jeito queria que as coisas já chegasssem com um jeito dado." A imagem transmite uma sensação de paz e desejos de que as coisas sejam mais fáceis e prontas.

Trump trade: Tariffs voided in court ruling

Neighbor on the left was power washing their postage stamp size front yard all afternoon, probably in prep for a big party this weekend. Neighbor on the right, not to be outdone, started their party before the power wash was even finished. I can barely hear their music over the whistles and litteral cow bells they're playing along with it. Its going to be a long night 🤦🏽‍♀️


“Not the most gifted man that ever lived, in the practice of any art or science, and paid at the highest rate that exceptional genius could justly demand from those who have worked for their money, could ever earn a million dollars. It is the landlords and the merchant princes, the railroad kings and the coal barons (the oppressors to whom you instinctively give the titles of tyrants)—it is these that make the millions, but no man earns them." William Dean Howells, A Hazard of New Fortunes


I don't know why there's so much fuss about the bruise on Trump's hand. You'd think he's the only person in history who ever received an IV brain transfusion.

Mind you, as far as I know there's never been a successful brain transfusion, but that's a separate issue. That's why there's that dumb joke: "The brain transfusion was successful but the President is still a dolt."
