Bowie, "Cactus"

Dry for the moment. Think I might smuggle a beer into the gym and drink it in the shower after work in an effort to optimize efficiency...

Wired - DHS urging local law enforcement to consider a wide range of activities as violent tactics, including skateboarding, riding a bike or livestreaming a police encounter. https://www.wired.com/story/dhs-tells-police-that-common-protest-activities-are-violent-tactics/
DHS Tells Police That Common Protest Activities Are ‘Violent Tactics’

DHS is urging law enforcement to treat even skateboarding and livestreaming as signs of violent intent during a protest, turning everyday behavior into a pretext for police action.

This was a hard one to write. It’s disconcerting to report on inhumane conditions at a U.S. concentration camp from the comfort of my home office, but not enough people are speaking out. And I don’t want history to repeat. Please help let others know. My write-up in the replies.

@sutter Yes, If you go to File:Business casual male & female(.)svg on commons it lists the source svgs including https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Business_casual_male_%26_female.svg

The interesting thing about this is that Carl Sagan 's original on the NASA site was a jpeg, there's no note on how it was converted to an svg, but it looks too clean to be a machine translation. Being uploaded in 2013 rules out it being done by an LLM.

I agree that it looks that way, but in fact Carl Sagan and Frank Drake designed the plaques in a matter of weeks.
