Would you frequent a non-alcoholic bar? There would be a wall of pretty bottles that nice staff would mix alcohol-free cocktails of their wildest dreams out of, music would maybe be a bit quieter and the tables cleaner, but otherwise just a reasonably nice bar with maybe board games, books, sports or dancing.

Das Bild zeigt eine idyllische Naturlandschaft mit einem klaren, türkisfarbenen Fluss, der durch eine steinige Böschung fließt. Der Fluss ist von großen, weißen Felsen gesäumt, die teilweise von Moos bedeckt sind. Auf der linken Seite des Flusses befindet sich ein dichter Wald mit hohen Bäumen, die in einem lebendigen Grün leuchten. Im Hintergrund sind bewaldete Hügel oder Berge zu sehen, die von einem blauen Himmel mit ein paar weißen Wolken umgeben sind. Im Vordergrund des Bildes sind die Füße eines Menschen zu sehen, die in dunkelblaue Wanderschuhe mit dunkelgrauen Schnürsenkeln stecken. Die Person sitzt auf einem Felsen am Flussufer und genießt die Aussicht. Die Szene vermittelt ein Gefühl von Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit inmitten der Natur.

A federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration’s attempt to condition federal disaster relief on states’ immigration enforcement cooperation is brazenly unconstitutional and illegal. trib.al/6ZHHc7R
Day 12 since Tunis, 28 days since Barcelona. Global Sumud Flotilla said goodbye to brave comrades in Crete after days of repairs under Greek coast guard watch.
While Flotilla prepare for the final 4–5 days at sea, friends across world keep up the pressure for Palestine and the flotilla.

Totally agree with Cory. Today’s “AI” may or may not be useful to you or your company, but there is no way that it is financially sustainable. And giving the sheer outrageous magnitude of money involved, when the crash comes — and it will — it will likely be worse than any other crash we’ve ever seen.
Like you, I'm sick to the back teeth of talking about AI. Like you, I keep getting dragged into AI discussions. Unlike you‡, I spent the summer writing a book about why I'm sick of writing about AI⹋, which Farrar, Straus and Giroux will publish in 2026.

imagine what it will feel like for people to back out of these projects without support. To reverse or reroute code. To shut down a service in an emergency request. To watch their work die.
Now imagine the sheer morale hit and mistrust that comes from it.
Please let me know if you can or cannot see the large block of colour above.
I'm working in supporting quote posts on my ActivityPub bot server. The above displays on Mastodon.social, but I'm not sure if I need to do something for other servers.
Yes, I can (but can't yet post them). So something seems to be wrong here.
Edit: that above is in the official android client. On the web it says "This post cannot be displayed as the original author does not allow it to be quoted."
It's so absurd. They are going to march into town. Hang around for a while and march back out. Unless they plan to start shooting civilians, there is nothing for them to do. Just like Chicago and DC.

@mastodonmigration Two reasons Trump is doing this: - Trump looks tough to his remaining followers so maybe they stop asking about those pesky Epstein Files - 4 out of 5 MAGA want the files released - Someone in Portland is going to start some shit, and that will let Trump further claim that he's saving Portland
I don't know who's going to start it. ICE will certainly provoke things. Maybe someone anti-ICE. Maybe someone pro-ICE will fight with the anti-ICE. Maybe a Boogaloo Boy will just start shooting.
All I know is that I'm going to plan my road trip far far from I-5.
@grumble209 We will see, but kind of doubt it. Maybe, like LA there will be a few days of overreaction to some mostly peaceful protests, but there is nothing for the military to do in Portland. They will show up with a lot of fanfare. Hang around for a while. Then leave. Militaries fight. There is no one to fight in Portland.

@Starry1086 oh poor thing 😢 We once forgot our dog outside when we left to go shopping. Fortunately the weather was good and we weren't gone long, but the neighbor let us know he barked the whole time.

The view from the Leamington Lift Bridge (see earlier pic), looking ast modern townhouses by the water, just as a perfect autumn afternoon was turning into early evening, sun moving ever westward and declining quickly, barely above the buildings.
@jones dico che se qualcuno sente di fare qualcosa, qualsiasi cosa, di fronte ad un genocidio, chi siamo noi per giudicare?
Se degli stati con i loro eserciti decidessero di dichiarare guerra a Israele per fermare l'assedio e il genocidio non sarei contrario, certo che no, ma sappiamo entrambi che è un'ipotesi remota ormai.
mah, non so quanto remota: quella dichiarazione del presidente colombiano, la sua volontà di formare un esercito internazionale di paesi asiatici "per liberare la Palestina", non è stata chiarita, è ancora valida negli stessi termini, e mi sa tanto che non cambierà perché io ho scritto in due post su mastodon che avran letto al massimo, chessò, 100 persone, che secondo me sarebbe meglio fosse più chiara e che secondo me sarebbe meglio che gli eserciti di quei paesi non attaccassero Israele ma si limitassero a difendere (intercettazione droni, ecc.) la GSF, senza attaccare Israele, e fare corridoi umanitari per portare al sicuro ə palestines*. Quindi no preoccupe, ci sta comunque tanto che ce l'avremo già a breve la terza guerra mondiale (in cui molto probabilmente i primi a essere falcidiati più di quanto sono ora sarebbero ə palestines* stess*).
Immigration I Filmed the ICE Officer Who Shoved a Woman to the Floor Inside a New York Courthouse I arrived in the U.S. eight weeks ago to report on how the administration’s immigration crackdown was playing out from the front lines. What I saw Thursday was the culmination of ICE’s aggressive behavior.
