The image depicts a woodworking project involving the integration of bicycle wheels into a wooden structure. In the foreground, a person is using a blue and black power drill to create a hole in a wooden plank. The plank has two rectangular cutouts, each accommodating a bicycle wheel. The wheels are partially visible, with their tires and spokes clearly shown. The cutouts are positioned to allow the wheels to fit snugly within the plank, suggesting a custom-built cart or platform. The background is plain, focusing attention on the drilling action and the integration of the wheels into the wooden structure.

"For instance, talking about all the different products AWS offers ..."

scAmazon Web Services don't offer products. There's not a single thing they sell that customers own after paying for it. What they offer is *services* (thus the name), not products.

I notice this euphemistic language around "financial products" too. Again, *not* products. They're not even service-as-a-product-substitute (eg SaaS). They're just services. Why call them products?

"... there exists 'BigTech', it's [US]American, it's out there, it's single-minded, it's univocal, it has the same ideas about everything, and it needs to be critiqued as this unipolar entity.

And it's not that, really. It's something a little bit more sophisticated. And moreover, you really do need to know what's inside it, in order to critique it."

In case you missed it: in #PuertoRico we had a rally for Puerto Rico’s independence today. One of the protest display were giving former US presidents KKK hoods.

“Why is the Puerto Rico independence movement gaining momentum?”

It’s been almost 10 years since the USA Congress proposed the PROMESA Act. The austerity measures implemented as well as striking down laws by the Fiscal Oversight Board has taken a heavy toll on all of us.

The situation in Puerto Rico is untenable: the Trump admin fired 6 out of 7 members of the FOMB after Laura Loomer reported on this. And the “progress” done negotiating a deal with bondholders has been nullified.

in reply to jdm2 🇵🇷

That deal was bad for the Puerto Rico population. What comes now is most likely a deal even more favorable to bondholders. This means the electricity bill will keep growing regardless of actual demand at the very least.

It also means a new bankruptcy process will be needed. It’s a race to the bottom and no way to climb out of that hole.

And that’s why independence is becoming the alternative for many of us.

This is the one Labor Day graph that tells you the actual problem in America.

The problem is not that America lacks abundance.

The problem is that a handful of oligarchs are hoarding America’s abundance.

Today’s cassette: Sheila E. (1987).

This one slaps. An exquisite album in every sense—percussion that cuts like glass, Sheila E.’s breathy vocals dripping with allure, and a funk backbone that thunders from treble to bass. Pure killer groove, no filler.

I even used this tape to test out my newly bought deck. Perfect choice. Sheila E. delivers the funk—and the attitude.

洋上風力の三菱撤退の件とか、日本のアカンところが見事に全部詰まってて悲しくなった。 ざっくり言うと、日本の再エネ戦略の要とされていた洋上風力の巨大プロジェクト(複数の地域にまたがる勝者総取り方式)に、三菱商事がかなり無茶な価格設定で入札し、小規模なライバルを蹴落として落札するも、インフレなどで建設コスト増加が想定以上になったと撤退。千葉や秋田などの地元自治体にも混乱が広がっている。官民ともに見通しの甘さやプラン設計のおかしさも批判。貴重な時間/人的コストが空費された事実は重い。 まぁさすがは化石賞常連国である、と言わざるをえないwww.nikkei.com/article/DGXZ...

Today I released the last monarch of 2025 raised from our yard.

Over the summer I released 50+ butterflies from eggs & caterpillars found on-and fed with-milkweed in our city backyard. I cleaned up a lot of poop is what I’m saying. I’m also saying a small natural area can do a lot.

An insane press release from an insane administration:

"Secretary Noem Terminates Inept FEMA Employees After Uncovering Massive Cyber Failures, Demands Accountability"

According to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, she fired two dozen IT employees at FEMA over an alleged security incident in which "no sensitive information was extracted from any DHS networks."

To Noem, the real problem isn't cybercriminals outside of FEMA who want to break in, it's the "deep state" bureaucrats who are the real threat, the insider.

"When DHS stepped in to fix the problem, entrenched bureaucrats worked to prevent us from solving the problem and downplayed just how bad this breach was. These deep-state individuals were more interested in covering up their failures than in protecting the Homeland and American citizens’ personal data, so I terminated them immediately."

"The entrenched bureaucrats who led FEMA’s IT team for decades resisted any efforts to fix the problem. Instead, they avoided scheduled inspections and lied to officials about the scope and scale of the cyber vulnerabilities."

dhs.gov/news/2025/08/29/secret…

The always on-point Risky Business newsletter notes FEMA insiders who spoke to CNN shortly after the firings last Friday painted a totally different picture and described the ousted IT team and its leaders as "extremely competent" and "highly respected."

"At this point in time, and taking into account the declining credibility of any statements coming out of the Trump administration, it is unclear if a breach even took place or if Noem and the DHS are trying to make up reasons to fire FEMA staff to bring in their loyal lackeys into the agency instead."

"The White House has been grasping at straws for months to find reasons to fire FEMA staff and leadership."

"It previously administered lie detector tests to FEMA top officials and fired the FEMA CFO after she made payments authorized by DOGE a day before."

"According to multiple reports, the Trump administration is intent on disbanding the agency altogether, or at least downsizing it to minuscule levels and leaving US states to handle their own natural disasters."

📆 1° Settembre, inizio dell'anno civile. Un vecchio spot televisivo recitava: “l' #ottimismo è il profumo della #vita” .... Buon #anno civile a tutti!




The words about grief : they help me find the expression for my sadness : the losses get washed away by tears … and make space for happiness & joy … eventually.

Right now, it’s time to grieve & cry.
