The tariff fight is plain insane. Tariffs are the purview of Congress. They aren't the president's YOLO. It's going to be amazing to see how SCOTUS throws out the plain language of the Constitution to take the tariff power away from Congress and grant it to Trump. They're very smart - I'm sure they can torture the hell out of both logic and history to come up with some nonsense. But their names will go down in history as shameful, and plain shit. Just stupidity and motivated reasoning.



With this rewatch of #BattlestarGalactica I’m doing with my sister Laura Roslin’s fascism is so much more stark than I remember. In the 2000’s I thought she was likable despite her flaws but now I’m hard pressed to find any redeeming qualities in her. One thing remains the same, she’s played to perfection by Mary McDonnell.

i was obsessed with the show when it was new, but haven't had the stomach to watch it again since then. i'm kind of afraid of it not holding up on a rewatch considering how "war on terror" flavored it felt even at the time (same reason i dislike a lot of star trek enterprise).

now that we've had a couple of decades of increasing fascism at home i'd probably pick up on those themes a lot more. i could definitely anticipate seeing roslin in a much darker light now

@jiub I think the writing holds up and, for me at least, it’s been a fascinating lens for looking back on the 2000s. A quest to find earth that started as a military lie then became religious truth and eventually literal truth feels representative of the war on terror as a whole. A war started on a false premise that was normalized then eventually embraced by liberals even. I’m hesitant to call it allegory because I don’t think it was intentional.

Hey folks, please take a minute to sign the “No Contract, No Coffee! Pledge” to show Solidarity With Starbucks Workers United.
Support Starbucks baristas in their fight for a union and a fair contract, and pledge not to cross the picket line by not patronizing any Starbucks store when baristas are on strike. Even you don’t patronize Starbucks for whatever reason, add your name to the pledge to show our siblings at SBWU that you have their backs.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Saturday he expected that Russia would only stop its war against Ukraine once it could no longer wage it for economic and military reasons, given that diplomatic efforts in recent weeks had failed.

For those of us of a certain age: somebody took EVERY DJ break by Dr. Johnny Fever (WKRP in Cincinnati) and matched it with the music he was announcing. The result is a 3 hour Dr. Johnny Fever show which you can listen to here: awphooey.com/wkrp

It’s pretty fun and the music mix is good.

I've taken two covid tests and they both have come back negative, but I'm sick as a dog. Fever of 102.9. Maybe i got the old fashioned flu. I haven't had that on a long time

A lot of people forget... just because covid is a thing now doesn't mean all the old bugs went away.

Hope you get over it soon.

Una sugerencia para Mastodon:

Actualmente (Mastodon v4.4.3), la altura de la vista de anuncios es impredecible; cambia según el contenido de cada página de anuncios, haciendo que quien usa la aplicación tenga que perseguir el selector de páginas para cambiar entre anuncio y anuncio (ver GIF animado adjunto).

La altura de esta vista debería ser fija, de manera que la persona pueda mantener el cursor en el mismo lugar dentro de la pantalla para ir cambiando de página fácilmente.

Este cambio beneficiaría a personas con y sin discapacidad (me parece a mí).

Sometimes I have an idea and I know, deep down, that I should wait and do it properly but instead I let it burst out in a slap dash splat.

This is one of those ideas.

Margaret Thatcher, PM of the UK through the 1980s, was infamous for saying that there is no such thing as society, just individuals.

Which is a bit like saying there's no such thing as a city, only individual buildings. Or, there's no such thing as the fediverse, only individual accounts.

in reply to Strypey

Those who argue for opt-in federation between services (eg the opt-in forced on BridgyFed), rather than interop being the default. Those who argue for mass blocking of this or that service, not because of the behaviour of the people using them, but because we don't like the company that owns them. Those who believe in the fediverse as an ocean separating islands of like-minded people, instead of a way to explore and encounter people thinking thoughts we never knew were possible.

(3/?)

in reply to Strypey

These people too are arguing against the idea of a society larger than themselves, and their in-group.

That's not to say that all Muting/ Blocking is wrong or anything silly like that. Just that they should be a last resort, considered case-by-case (collectively as well as individually), not the default. Because a connection with this larger social space, and the opportunities for learning and collaboration it brings, is the whole point of online social network tools.

Tomorrow is Ollie's birthday. I think he'll be six. OMG. Here's a photo from 2022 with his then-favorite toy before he destroyed it.

I am sure there are other dogs who love humans as much as he does, but he ranks very high. If I walked up to a total stranger and started kissing them all over the face, I'd be in BIG trouble. Ollie does it and people's self-esteem goes up 500% in seconds. He's a walking ball of love. ❤️

The deed is done. Letzter Task bei Datenbankumzug und -rekonstruktion in @darktable erledigt. Nach vielen Jahren ist #Lightroom bei mir nun Geschichte. Ich muss auf einigen Luxus verzichten, ein paar Kompromisse eingehen und musste zwei wesentliche Funktionen nachkaufen, aber das Kerngeschäft (#RAW-Entwicklung) beherrscht #darktable ganz hervorragend. Für den Übergang nahm ich mir einige Monate Zeit, noch ist der Workflow etwas zäher, aber für ein Hobby kann ich damit leben.

@geco_de Lohnt sich! Wobei solche Urteile gerade in dem Bereich höchst subjektiv sind. Tipp: Statt direkt die vorhandenen Bilder in die DT-Lib zu übernehmen (das braucht sehr viele Überlegungen und Vorbereitungen in LR), würde ich eher mal mit Bildbearbeitung und RAW-Workflow anfangen. Viel Einlesen, viele Videos fürs Konzept. Erst wenn Du beschlossen hast, dass Du damit leben kannst (auch mit Kompromissen und Defiziten), würde ich die Lib übertragen.
