Window shutters (if they exist at all) in the US are often non functional and decorative. But shutters are really useful!
The ones on our Airbnb in Roma were clearly regularly used - moved easily, no more dirty than I’d expect. People next door clearly opened and closed theirs each night as well.
So I was surprised when I reached out to close the ones in Firenze to block the morning light, only to discover that they were creaky, filthy, and almost no one nearby was using theirs either! 🤔

O presidente russo, Vladimir Putin, confirmou que as tropas russas cercaram as forças ucranianas em duas cidades-chave para a libertação completa da República Popular de Donetsk, no Donbass, e chamou Kiev a negociar um acordo para sua rendição.Hora do Povo
“Viviamo in un mondo dove tutto è costruito per farci dormire. Lavori finché non muori, ti tengono buono con un po’ di intrattenimento, un po’ di cibo spazzatura e la convinzione che sei libero. Ma non lo sei. Loro controllano tutto: ciò che vedi, ciò che pensi, ciò che desideri. E tu sorridi, grato, mentre ti tolgono tutto.”

En Nueva York está habiendo una campaña fuerte de resistencia contra una IA en forma de collar que promete ser "tu amigo".
Esta campaña está siendo desplegada en el metro de NY, y la gente está pintando cosas como "la ia no es tu amiga", "a la IA no le importas", "la conexión humana es importante"...
La idea es que te graba 24/7, a ti, y evidentemente a tu entorno.
Esto parte de que muchos adolescentes están utilizando la IA para contarles cosas personales, o consejos de salud mental...

Big news: I finally landed a job! I’ll be starting on November 1st, which means my first paycheck won’t arrive until December. Until then, I have no other income -- the donations I receive here will be the only money I have to get by.
I’ve been scraping through ever since losing my last job two and a half months ago, and your support so far has genuinely kept me afloat. You’ve helped me make it this far -- and I’m endlessly grateful.
Now I just need to hang on a little longer. The future is finally looking up, but right now I still need a bit of help to bridge the gap. If you’re able to chip in -- even a few euros or dollars -- it makes a huge difference.
Every boost and donation helps me stay safe, fed, and stable until that first paycheck comes through. Thank you all so much for your kindness and support. Genuinely. You're all THE BEST.

"ICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien."Every person involved in this decision needs to be hit over the head with a copy of Kashmir Hill's "Your Face Belongs to Us" until they come to their senses.

La imagen muestra una estructura de concreto con una serie de arcos sobre un terreno rocoso y una costa al fondo. La estructura, aparentemente un acueducto o puente, tiene varios arcos de tamaño similar, conectados por una sección superior de concreto. El terreno debajo de la estructura es irregular y está cubierto de roca y vegetación, con un color predominante entre el marrón y el gris. En la distancia se puede ver una costa accidentada y el mar azul oscuro. El cielo es de un color grisáceo uniforme. La imagen está tomada desde una perspectiva ligeramente elevada, que proporciona una vista general de la estructura y su entorno.

bad cattitude: rethinking the way you think about money distribution (el gato malo)
and why we should give billionaires more money
the most reliable donor and voting blocks are those whose industries and lifestyles cannot exist without subsidy.the crony predators conjure them into existence, hook them on largesse, then use them to accumulate treasure and power.
here’s the perspective shift one needs to understand this:
from the politician’s viewpoint, the fact that none of these people or industries are self-sustaining is a feature, not a bug.
if your existence is predicated upon them and impossible without them, you are bound to them.

Like anyone would trust what the federales say in terms of a report. These untrained shit heels will panic at every situation and know nothing about preventing panic and the people they are trying to abduct. Because terrorizing communities is the point.

Yeah, it’s the stereotype of the American right wing is a really bad one. People have guns for all sorts of reasons.
Two years ago, I was on a gig with a crew of right wing coders. They were teasing me about 2A etc. Good natured, mind you. Stereotypes.
I asked them "Do you know the difference between a liberal with a gun and a conservative with a gun?"
"The liberal is shooting match grade ammunition and has a big ol' Leupold VX-Freedom scope on top of a 30 ought six. This liberal does, anyway - and he will put a round through your head before you even see him."
That shut them up, pronto.

So, in other words, the liberal will know which and the bullets come out of and where to aim it.
I had the strackest Drill Instructor in the Army, DI McFarlane. He taught me to shoot well.
I got out of the service, said I was all done with shooting. Didn't touch a firearm for 30 years. Went up to do some drone photography for a disabled extended family member whose son had a huge collection of firearms, including an AR-15.
Everyone else was shooting at some metal targets, nobody acting stupid, all fairly safe.
My wife said "You want to try a few shots?"
I exhaled and broke my promise. Shouldered the weapon, fired three times, hit the little metal dinger thingie all three times. Gave the rifle back.

Algunos de los huevos tienen grietas visibles en sus superficies. El plato tiene un color negro mate con un diseño sutil que es difícil de discernir. El fondo es de un rojo oscuro, posiblemente una mesa. Hay un líquido, posiblemente aceite, brillando sobre los huevos y el plato. La iluminación es moderada, lo que genera sombras sutiles.
