The video showcases the engine bay of a car, with the hood open, revealing a well-maintained engine with various components such as the air intake, spark plugs, and hoses. The engine is predominantly metallic with black and blue accents, and the surrounding area is clean and organized. The car is parked on a gravel surface with grass visible in the background. Initially, the engine is stationary, but as the video progresses, smoke begins to emanate from the engine, indicating it has been started. The smoke gradually increases, filling the engine bay and spreading into the surrounding area. The camera angle shifts slightly, providing a broader view of the engine and the car's surroundings, including a glimpse of the road and the car's battery. The video concludes with the smoke still present, suggesting the engine is running.

Last night the universe put a track from this album in my ears and I realized I hadn't actually listened to this album before so I bookmarked it to listen to later and then put on our next episode of Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown...and the episode turned out to be the Chicago one with Steve Albini, no joke. And now I'm finally listening to the album and, like, holy shit. Some things don't suck.

@histodons 'Brassed Off' (1996) - not all strikes end well.
'Gung Ho' (1986) - we can change things if we want to change them.
'Pajama Game' (1957) - some strikes end well and sabotage sometimes works.

My frustrations in trying to find a small stuffed animal to clip to the backpack I use every day at school means I ended up buying a cheaper knockoff #Labubu from the vape shop. It is actually a nice light color which softens my backpack a bit and kind of cute so I'm glad I did, but just funny how much labubus and copies have spread.
How Turkmenistan turned censorship into a lucrative extortion scheme by intentionally restricting internet access in order to sell its own VPNs to citizens
::: spoiler Comments
- Hackernews.

In July 2021, a sudden drop in Tor usage in Turkmenistan called our attention. Tor would come to understand that this marked the beginning of a new era of censorship and restriction in this post-Soviet country. But let's rewind...The Tor Community has long been defending internet freedom, running relays and providing bridges to combat internet censorship.
Over the years, the Tor Project has called for action to run more bridges, Snowflake proxies, while we've investigated and adapted our anti-censorship strategies, and shared information about online censorship in Turkmenistan.
Modern censorship circumvention systems are generally built around the concept of "collateral damage", where a censor cannot block access without blocking the entire internet or popular online services. However, in Turkmenistan, the censors' behavior has been strikingly different. They have openly blocked vast parts of the internet without concern for the collateral consequences, sparking curiosity: why do Turkmenistan's censors seem unbothered by the collateral damage their actions cause?

Always follow the money.
Donald Trump may be running an authoritarian political project, but the big money that has been backing him has been running a cryptocurrency project at the expense of the dollar and your standard of living.
When Trump goes, their currency project continues.

But I'm very wary of anything that seems like "generation gap" thinking. As long as capital can keep the races and nations and sexes and generations fighting we can't work together to start the guillotines rolling. #eatherich
