Retired #science teacher and #union president. #Liberal. #Atheist. #Boardgames. #Rats make awesome pets. Back into the #linux game. He/Him.

Incompatible with lever-pulling.

To be honest, I mostly lurk and boost.

For I was born upon the fathoms,
Neither harbor nor port have I known.
The great universe is the ocean I travel,
And the Earth is my blue boat home.

"...You don't have to be a gun. You are what you choose to be."

All shot practically using real figures, lighting, smoke and miniature sets. I added a digital glow to the Iron Giants eye the rest is all real.

Trump house psychopath Miller, a vibe nazi, wants to tatoo numbers on the forearms of brown people in America.

Weird that the paranoid nightmares of the right are just pre-announcements of their future policy.

Republicans Now Want to Track Immigrants Wherever They Go

The draconian measure from an authoritarian administration: forcing migrants to wear GPS tracking devices at all times.

The New Republic

America has become a fascist country simply because white people are terrified of becoming a minority. That is why Latinos are being targeted the most by the ethnic cleansing squads.

But those same white people who voted for fascism also insisted for decades that minorities have it better, and that the white majority are the “real victims.” After years of arguing that, they have voted away their own freedom to avoid becoming a minority. Funny how that works.

Beloved Culver City ice cream vendor detained by federal agents

A Culver City community is left in shock after a beloved ice cream vendor was detained by federal agents outside a church.

Okay, #Fediverse, here’s my long-winded reply to @tchambers about “The Seven Deadly Fediverse UX Sins”. I mainly wrote this because it’s a really interesting subject, and I believe there’s a lot of positive things we could do together.

Mitigating the "7 Deadly Fediverse UX Sins"

@joplinapp OCR in images and PDFs is good. Doing it in AI is BAD. Seriously, how much demand have your gotten from your customers for AI?

I propose that if Iran decides to take up Trump's kind offer to bomb US bases they should call the job either Operation LIMPDICK or Operation TACO.
