It might just be that White People are finally getting tired of blaming everything on The Other and not fixing anything in society because of that obsession. The problem is the Rich, I think a majority of us now see it, but the Oligarchs don't want us thinking that.
Beal’s Island, June 2025. My first ancestors to come to Maine settled on Beal’s Island. Distant relatives still live here but the lineage I’m directly descended from have lived a few hours south down the coast for the past 5 or so generations.
This article contains some ahistorical BS from your ABC: "Following Japan's withdrawal from Guadalcanal in 1943, tonnes of munitions were left behind."
At least 90% of the unexploded munitions left lying around Honiara are US. It was the US Navy's largest ammunition storage facility in the Pacific and they left after the war in 1945 without cleaning it up. People die there because the US can't be fucked cleaning up their mess.

"Inside Politics" host Dana Bash asked Johnson on Thursday why he's "drawing the line" at extending federal food subsidies for more than 20 million households.
This image shows a page from a book with text printed on it. The page is cream-colored and features a title at the top reading "October 30" in a decorative font. Below the title is a paragraph of text spanning most of the page, which reads: “HERE WAS NOT A GREAT DEAL TO DO TODAY. And tomorrow will likely be the same. Those of us who remain will gather at the hill at midnight. We will bring kindling, and we will cooperate in the building of a big fire. It will serve as illumination, and into it we will cast all the herbs, and other ingredients we have been preparing all month to give ourselves an edge and to confound our enemies. It may stink. It may smell wonderful. Forces will wrestle within it, playing about in a multicolored nimbus, and occasionally causing crackling and popping. Then we will position ourselves in an arc before the thing our divinations have shown us to be the Gateway—which we have already determined to be the stone bearing the inscription. The openers and their friends will 251”. The bottom right corner displays the number "251".

Trump’s flawed ceasefire plan has opened a door for Democrats to amend their shameful failure to end the Gaza genocide. But it requires doing something few Democrats have been willing to do: support Palestinian rights. mondoweiss.net/2025/10/democra…
Compssionate Dems have to actually distance themselves from the Zionists in their party, and from any funding that ties them to genocidal, land-stealing Israelis. People need a visible alternative to the Trump Kleptocracy, and they need to know that the Democrats are not still swimming in blood.

The rollback recommended by the Renewable Fuels Standards Advisory Committee would have allowed trucks to continue to emit black carbon, or “soot,” at a higher level and for longer than under the original plan.
You can, but that will only substitute for a fairly small fraction of US transport needs
To put this in context, california has a similar biofuels content requirement, which uses about 40% of soybean oil in the US, while displacing a few percent of the state’s diesel use
As far as I know, mandatory use of biofuels is primarily a subsidy for farmers rather than a means of reducing emissions. I'm surprised to see an urban area focus on it.
In his decision, Engstrom said the feedstock restrictions are “core to the original policy intent” and must be preserved because they ensure the policy delivers on promised carbon reductions. Feedstocks made from virgin agricultural products and food crops – such as soybean, canola and palm oils – have been linked to much higher carbon emissions, displacing food production and causing deforestation and are not allowed under Portland’s policy.
It sounds like Portland is making an effort to avoid the farm-subsidy sort of biofuels, but then what is it actually demanding that biofuels be made from?
I think it’s a mistake to assume that this is an honest effort. That there’s any expectation of compliant biodiesel being made and sold. Realistically, what’s going to happen is that the Jubitz and Pacific Pride locations in Portland are going to be run out of business. That’s very likely the actual goal of the policy, which is equivalent to an enormous fuel tax increase, with some greenwashing as cover.

I'm usually the baker in the house but Brandon made these Pan de Muerto today for our ofrenda. The house smells amazing. Can't wait to have one after dinner.
Epstein document dump coming later today. A federal judge has granted @nytimes.com and @wsj.com requests to unseal records from litigation involving Jeffrey Epstein and JPMorgan. We have no idea what the documents will show, but we expect to receive them this evening. Stay tuned! 🍿
Thinking about getting a bunch of business card sized cards made with instructions on good manners and etiquette that I can hand to inconsiderate and ignorant people. Like the person next to me in this cafe having a video call on their phone without using earbuds or headphones. It’s not only the noise but also the fact I don’t want to be in the background of their video.
@dibi58 checks these out. Quite popular in the early 2000s at least in my peer group. There used to be a Society for Handheld Hushing, but I guess internet rot must have gotten to them. Glad to find this archive: scribd.com/doc/208215233/Shhh-…
Trump claimed that the Binance founder was “persecuted” by Biden’s Justice Department as part of what the White House called a “war on cryptocurrency.”
When you see a post by @FediVideo and the screenshot in the post is from one of your videos... I recognized it immediately! So I had to capture it... And thank you to the person who added one of my videos into a playlist. I'm glad that people get to enjoy the love of Arwen (and Bas), even after her passing... 🥲 It means a lot! Thanks!
It was very sad to hear about Arwen passing, it was nice to watch the videos you posted of playing by the lake etc. My favourite was the one where she learns to raise her paw as a puppy.
Dogs are a blessing, they are wonderful. Thank you for sharing the videos you made 🙂
Awwww 🥲 thank you. I am glad that you enjoyed the videos and thank you for including some of Arwen's magic in your animals playlist. 💜
Dogs are truly wonderful, I fully agree... While I still mourn the loss of Arwen, I am also slowly preparing to get ready to love a new gall... 😊 If all goes well, I may be able to welcome a new pup in my life around March, and she may move in with me around May... So then I'll probably kill the FediVerse with a puppy overload 😂
Thanks again for your kindness and support. I really appreciate it.
Your yearly reminder that the Salvation Army refuses to lend aid to struggling/homeless LGBT; therefore, you should refuse to lend aid to the Salvation Army.

😨😨😨 Disgusting dinner tonight here at the nursing home - small portion overcooked spaghetti, pile of wet croutons, scoop of rotten lettuce, dripping with... something. Seriously awful.
Nepomuceno explica que a PEC 169/2019 serve como "veículo perfeito" para que a Reforma Administrativa seja apensada e votada diretamente em plenário, sem precisar passar pelas comissões de Constituição e Justiça (CCJ) ou por comissão especial.
"Se isso acontecer, o deputado Hugo Motta (Republicanos-PB), presidente da Câmara, pode votar a Reforma Administrativa a qualquer momento direto em plenário, sem passar pela Comissão de Constituição e Justiça (CCJ), sem passar por Comissão Especial, que daria direito a debate, a discussões e ganharia tempo na sua tramitação", alertou o consultor.
I'm ordering my second eggnog carton of the Yule season today, and I'm excited to see what my eggnog habit does to me this time around =w= 🩷
The fat raccooncat's yearly Yule weight (which also includes all those cakes and sugar cookies). It's extra special fat to me 🩷🩷
I think I might want to record it. Maybe I should keep track of how many gallons of eggnog I drink and the number of pounds I've put on since starting the first carton =w=
Every time I have a cup of eggnog, I add it to the spreadsheet, and it automatically calculates how many gallons and calories of it I've put in my belly so far this year =w= 🩷🩷
Some folks are re-enacting the Die Hard 2 airplanes tonight... circling around in the air until they run out of gas. (hopefully will divert before then!)
I can only imagine what the holidays are going to be because my gut feeling is the shut down is going to play out most of the holidays.
I’ve seen the very unsubstantiated rumor that the house won’t come into session until January. But I haven’t seen anything anywhere else saying anything of that sort so whatever. But it would be just like them.
> “ You can be a New Yorker and not understand New Yorkers. ”
🤦♂️ Technically true — but that’s exactly why you shouldn’t run for office. If you don’t understand the people you want to represent, you can’t truly serve them. Leadership isn’t just about holding a title. It’s about connection, empathy, and understanding the city’s heartbeat — something every real New Yorker expects from their mayor.

Компанія Hisense представила в Китаї флагманський телевізор E8S Pro, орієнтований на геймерів та поціновувачів преміум-якості. Новинка доступна в розмірах 75", 85" і 100", з підтримкою до 9360 зон локального затемнення.
I actually worked there for a while, and the culture there is pretty toxic top to bottom. And it's totally by design.
The bulk of these layoffs appear to be in the games groups, which is really not a surprise. They hired some big "names" from the industry, set them loose with no oversight, and threw money at them hand of fist trying suddenly be a "big deal" in games.
it was all a bunch of huge inflated egos and chaos daily, and very little chance of it being successful.
