Went to take out the dog, opened the front door, greeted by a big fat skunk right at the bottom of the front step. Thankfully it hustled off pretty quick before the dog figured out what was going on and he didn't get close enough to trigger a blast.

Roughly $400,000 in the $1m budget was for public awareness – but those funds were recently ‘zeroed out’
Давайте просто отдыхать
И в солнце ласковом купаться!
Давайте просто будем жить,
Ведь жизнь проходит незаметно,
Ничем потом не заменить
Ни этот миг, ни это лето!
Оно проходит навсегда,
Потом уже не повторится,
И не вернётся никогда,
Как жизни прожитой страница.
Перевернул, и всё прошло,
Закаты эти и рассветы,
И это дивное тепло,
И это сказочное лето...

The #Conversations_im update that requires TLS 1.3 is currently rolling out.
Apparently, judging by the bug reports coming in, a good number of servers do not support TLS 1.3 yet.
Please upgrade your servers and/or check their configurations. 🙏
Users can opt out via a setting in the Security section of the app, but this setting will likely go away in 1-2 years. The only correct move here is to fix your servers. Also, check the HTTP servers used by HTTP Upload.

Paolini fuori dal singolo degli US Open. Nel maschile derby toscano Musetti-Cobolli

Support-Ende für Windows 10: Millionen PCs betroffen
Mitte Oktober stellt Microsoft die regulären Sicherheits-Updates für Windows 10 ein. Erstmals können auch Privatnutzer an einem offiziellen Verlängerungsprogramm teilnehmen. Experten empfehlen dennoch ein Update. Von Jens Eberl.
Wer braucht schon Windows.
Ich hoffe doch im bezahlten Rundfunk von ARD und ZDF weiss man diese Nachrichten zu deuten und hat fleißig alle Windowsgeräte auf Linux umgestellt, um die unnötige Neuanschaffung noch einsstzfähiger Geräte aus den Rundfunkgebühren zu vermeiden.
Linux, Libreoffice, Thunderbird, Matrix sind DAS Handwerkzeug für Journalisten.
"The classical end of all pure democracy is the popular tyrant. And incidentally all successful tyrants throughout history have been popular idols."
- Dorothy Thompson, 1938.
Miss Thompson (a.k.a. Mrs. Sinclair Lewis) was the first US correspondent to be expelled from Germany after interviewing Chancellor Hitler. She stated upon arrival in Paris that he "is no longer a man, he is a religion."
Thompson also got thrown out of the German-American Bund's massive NAZI rally at the Madison Square Garden in 1939 for heckling the speakers.
What a woman!
"The history of the German-American Bund reminds us that facism is ultra-nationalist. In other words, there is no such thing as foerign facism. Facism is always home grown."
- Sarah Churchwell, Cultural Historian.

Emily Writes about the sad reality of #Aotearoa #NewZealand losing its courage to stand up for what is right.
That courage, that spirit of justice, is nowhere to be found when it comes to #Israel ’s brutal genocide and ethnic cleansing of #Palestinians.
Our reputation is in tatters, and we can never claim to be a country that stands up for what is right, regardless of what the #US thinks, if we don’t act immediately.

Introducing a special collaboration between Aotearoa + Gaza. Aotearoa was once a place renowned for its courage. Despite a dark colonial history that still causes significant harm today, as a country, we have fought to do better.Emily Writes (Emily Writes Weekly)

Soy beans are a particular issue for states that grow soy beans for export. The trade war has inspired China to purchase soy beans from elsewhere.
But multiple factors are affecting the agricultural sector that the mass deportations in the destruction of the farm migrant workforce, as well as the dismantling of US AID, food public assistance also purchased a great deal of agricultural products.
All of these factors are brutalizing farmers

As has been often observed, until an issue directly impacts them personally, MAGA literally cannot 'see' the problem

Admitting they were wrong is nearly impossible
Due to a rigid mindset, difficulty in viewing problems broadly, & an inability to comprehend nuance & change, they'll double down on Trumpism instead
They'll happily feed their children into a world war woodchopper born from tariff wars.

This channel has been able to consolidate and speak to the left right spectrum with remarkable clarity.
He has an entire series on politics and left and right that are eminently worthy to listen to if for the simple reason that one video will change how you use the words left and right and what those words are applied to

Beware false dichotomies...
Corporate interests are always on their own side.
They'll support whomever promises them the most.
They'll support whichever party promises the most profit.

in reply to 😀🚲 • • •@enobacon None of this 💩 was happening from 2021-2024. If people want Democracy, they should try VOTING for it. 90 million people skipped the election. And 77 million voted for a guy that said he would be a dictator. So less than 1/3 of the country, who like authoritarianism… won.
This is why we gotta show up.

They don't understand the markets they've gone millions in debt to serve. And they don't understand what commodity farming has done to their own land.
