The headline here — I think, I’m out of my depth — is that, contrary to what they did before, the Trump admin •did• in fact comply with an emergency order from a judge to stop a deportation flight.
Do not let anyone tell you authoritarianism is a done deal. Judges still have power. Activists still have power. We still have power. Nothing’s certain, nothing’s safe — but nothing is already decided either.
They want your defeatism. They want a fait accompli. Don’t give it to them. toad.social/@KimPerales/115125…

The image depicts a colorful illustration from a children's book. In the foreground, a girl with red hair tied in a ponytail, wearing a blue pajama top with red dots, is looking out of a window. She is positioned on the left side of the image, with her back to the viewer. In front of her, on a desk, is a black server with green and red indicator lights. To the right, a laptop is partially visible, showing a picture of the girl on its screen.
In the background, through the window, two children are standing on a grassy area. One child is wearing an orange shirt and brown pants, while the other is in a blue shirt and blue pants, holding a leash attached to a small dog. The window is framed by blue curtains with star patterns. Above the scene, there is text that reads, "Some people think servers should only be in offices. They might make fun of your home server."

Most “good UI” isn’t good at all. It’s just whatever we’ve been trained to tolerate.
Case in point: for years, anything with too much text was mocked as “bad UX.” Then ChatGPT came along, gave you a blinking cursor and a box—and suddenly walls of text are the peak of interface design. Nothing changed except what people got used to.
Or take macOS. People trip over themselves to praise Apple’s “clean” UI. But what’s actually clean about it? Why does closing every window not quit the app? That’s not intuitive. It’s just something Mac users were conditioned into defending. If Windows did the same thing, there’d be YouTube essays about it.
Same goes for games. The arrow keys used to be the standard for movement. Now, if your game doesn’t use WASD, you’ll get roasted on Steam. Not because WASD is inherently better—it’s just what everyone expects.
The dirty truth is this: UI isn’t about usability. It’s about conformity. Interfaces don’t necessarily become “good” when they solve problems—they become good when people stop complaining.

@CStamp Certainly, and to be fair, Mac now accommodates different mentalities.
For example, to open an app, all I have to do is press the search key on the keyboard, then type an app’s name.

He must resign.Mr. Kennedy and the rest of the Trump administration tell us, over and over, that they want to Make America Healthy Again. That’s a great slogan. I agree with it.

The image shows a close-up view of a pot containing delicate, reddish-brown moss-like plants with thin, elongated stems and small, rounded tips. The plants are densely clustered, with some stems standing taller than others, creating a textured appearance. The pot is placed on a dark surface, possibly a table or ground, with a wooden wall in the background. A dry, brown leaf lies on the surface near the pot, and a thin, light-colored stick is partially visible, possibly used for support. The lighting suggests it is a sunny day, casting shadows and highlighting the intricate details of the plants.

#piracy has literally become easier than trying to legit pay for media at this point.
Because I can get all my music by ripping MP3s with share links on Mp3/4 conversation sites.
I can get a lot of movies/shows the same way.
I can get every movie, show, game and song imaginable all in one #torrent site unless it's VERY obscure and keep it forever.
All for free, and all easier than paying hundreds or maybe even thousands for a million different arbitrary platforms.

Onderzoek: door ontbossing sterven wereldwijd ruim 28.000 mensen per jaar

Das Video zeigt eine lebendige Live-Auftrittsszene auf einem Festival namens "Giessener Kultursommer." Auf einer großen Bühne spielen mehrere Musiker, die sich auf einer Bühne mit einem robusten Metallrahmen befinden, der mit Scheinwerfern und Lautsprechern ausgestattet ist. Die Bühne ist mit einem großen Tuch bedeckt, das von Scheinwerfern in verschiedenen Farben beleuchtet wird, hauptsächlich in Blau und Weiß, was eine dynamische und energiegeladene Atmosphäre schafft. Die Musiker sind in verschiedenen Positionen auf der Bühne verteilt, einige spielen Gitarren, während andere singen oder andere Instrumente spielen. Die Bühne ist mit einem großen Bildschirm umgeben, der das Geschehen auf der Bühne zeigt, und es gibt auch eine grüne Beleuchtung auf der rechten Seite, die das Ambiente ergänzt.
Im Hintergrund sind Zelte und ein Teil eines historischen Gebäudes zu sehen, was auf eine offene Veranstaltung hinweist. Die Zuschauer sind sichtbar, obwohl sie im Schatten bleiben, und scheinen die Musik zu genießen. Die Atmosphäre ist lebhaft und voller Energie, was durch die Bewegungen der Musiker und die intensiven Lichteffekte unterstrichen wird. Die Szene ist ein typisches Festtagsereignis, das die Musik und die Gemeinschaft feiert.

🧵About last night: Needed distraction to clear my mind, tinkering w/ electronics were perfect for a change. On top of that ezpz but one of these days list was my OG 3000, a designated JP model (= 100 V mains). Had to rely on crappy power converters for years, until I (literally) hacked an (oversized in every aspect) toroid 230 V transformer into it. The excess spec of the toroid made the 7x05/7x12 type regulators a lot hotter than before. Aside recapping and resoldering all PSU PCBs (done), there had to be a better solution one of those days.

Il mio interesse per la Guerra Civile Spagnola risale alle letture dei romanzi di Manuel Vázquez Montalbán di cui sono stato fedele lettore in gioventù. I suoi gialli dipingevano una Spagna devastata dalle conseguenze della dittatura fascista di Franco e fu proprio la sua biografia romanzata scritta da Montalbàn, Io Franco, a spingermi ad approfondire il tema.
Sono passati molti anni e ho deciso di rinfrescarmi la memoria. Il link al testo nel primo commento #beevor #guerracivilespagnola
Palestine is a class struggle. While politicians hide behind words of 'concern', hope is in the workers.
Here, Riccardo Rudino, docker in Genoa addressing the crowd gathered to support the Global Sumud Flotilla (a 🧵):
"I want it for everyone to be clear: around mid September these ships will approach Gaza's shores. If, even just for 20 minutes, we loose contact with our ships, with our comrades, we will block whole Europe.

"I wrote it down here, to never forget. Together with our Union Usb, with all the harbors' workers, with the whole city of Genoa - 13-14K containers per year sails from here to Israel - we won't let even a nail sail."
Genoa, the same city that in 2001 witnessed the brutality of the neoliberal 'rules-based order', the city honored a gold metal for the Italian Resistance, today is a staunching reminder of what class solidarity means.
Thank you, Genoa.

Follow the Global Sumud Flotilla, support Palestinians if you can via donations, keep protesting, and boycott everything you can. No activism is perfect,but no action is futile. To quote Andor's Nemik's manifesto:
"the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empires’s authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this: Try."

The image shows a digitally edited composition with a fantasy–motorcycle theme. In the foreground, a man sits confidently astride a striking Harley-Davidson touring bike, specifically a Harley-Davidson Street Glide Special in a bold matte bright-green and black finish. The bike features a large front fairing with a central headlight, custom blacked-out wheels, and sleek saddlebags, emphasizing its modern, powerful design. The rider is wearing a gray t-shirt and ripped black jeans, paired with black boots. His appearance has been humorously altered with added devil-like horns on his head and colorful star-shaped sunglasses, giving the image a playful and surreal twist.
Behind him, the background is filled with fiery orange flames, amplifying the dramatic tone of the composition. To the left, a fierce green dragon with scales, sharp teeth, and wings snarls toward the center, adding a fantasy element to the design. In front of the dragon is the iconic orange-and-black Harley-Davidson shield logo, prominently placed as a central branding element. The overall scene blends motorcycle culture with fantasy and humor, creating a vibrant, attention-grabbing artwork.

Te rodeas de perfume de oriente

los de amores perdidos
Tú, necesitas ahora,
