My boss once described me as a Renaissance man. It was an incredible complement for someone with too many interests and too little time. amateur radio general license (KC9UNZ), GMRS (WRYP955), open source software enthusiast, Web site developer for a number of not for profits. 30+ years supporting technology with an M.Div and 20 years in the parish (yes they overlapped). Oh and I play woodwinds and sing tenor as well.

Musicians release silent album to protest UK AI copyright proposals

Over 1,000 artists, including Annie Lennox, Damon Albarn, and Kate Bush, have launched a silent album, 'Is This What We Want?', in protest against UK government plans that could allow AI companies to use copyrighted content without consent.

p.s. Important voting tip from many contributors:

1. Use first vote to choose your favourite candidate from those likely to win in your particular voting district. It doesn't matter if their party is small nationally, the candidate can still get in if they are popular in your district.

2. Use second vote to choose your favourite from parties likely to get over 5% of the vote.

If you do both these things, it will make your vote most effective đź‘Ť

There’s a crucial election coming up in a battleground state: The liberal majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court is at risk. Elon Musk is not only determined to infiltrate every level of the federal government, he’s coming after our local elections, too. We’re not going to let him get away with it. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/02/elon-musk-is-trying-to-buy-the-wisconsin-supreme-court/
Elon Musk is trying to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court

“His attack on democracy isn’t limited to gutting the federal government. He wants it all.”

So I'm taking an Extra Licensing class to prepare for my test. We are 2/3 of the way through. I just took a practice test and surprised myself and passed. By one question but I passed! This might just work. #amateurradio #hamradio

Yo Musk, here's some actual waste your DOGE dorks could cut

Democracy is a good deal for everyone: citizens get a say and the ruling class don't get their heads chopped off.

I keep thinking of this quote from the Great Gatsby:

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

@Boerps Um excuse me??

No, we don’t “deserve” this.

As for protests: There have been protests in every state, repeatedly. Maddow reports on them, as have other media.

No opposition? MOC have been out in the streets among those protesting with f’ing microphones, protesting with them, to the cameras.

No opposition from dem bodies? We’re the minority. They’ve stalled, but can’t block MAGAts.

F’ing READ before saying we “deserve” this.

Piss off. #Toodles
