On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder is a valuable thing to have by your side in these times of increasing fascism. Each chapter begins with a short bit of advice as it's title, followed by a sentence or two on it's potential importance. The rest of the chapter provides […] [Original post on sfba.social]

Makes my soul feel good to see this kind of protest activity pissing off the bad guys. Although I'm half expecting some attempt to outlaw these frog costumes in the near future. #politics #protests

AMPHIBIANS AGAINST FASCISM If you know who made this, post in replies, I tried but failed to find an original. #protest #sign #frog #portlandfrog #art

The #Portland #FrogBrigade speaks! (now with subtitles!) "We decided to come support our friend Toad. (aka The #AntiFascistFrog) He's a friend from another pond. They are calling Portland an explosive fire-ridden sort of warland, which it's not, because […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

This is what I’m talking about!

It's been a while since I've seen it mentioned, so if you did happen to pick up a Kindle in the sales this week (👀), check out the Standard Ebooks project for hundreds of public domain works with good metadata, proofreading, and nice cover art: https://standardebooks.org

Grrr. Getting hit by a fairly aggressive scraper on my blog. Same user-agent, but different IP addresses - all from China. It is using JS - but I really don't want to put up a CAPTCHA or similar. Deters too many legitimate visitors. Anyone have a simple […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

This screenshot from my podcast application ( #overcast) seem strangely appropriate to discourse and humerous news shows of 2025.

I made a tree #inkscape

[Easy Dutch oven chicken pot pie] My family assures me that it's REALLY okay that I make this every week. No actual pie crusts because that's a lot of work for something I'm just going to chew and swallow. Dutch oven = one pot to clean. Slice/boil the […] [Original post on musicians.today]

My wife the audio engineer (Last night at her tracking session for Blackbird Academy) I'm so proud of her. And by all accounts it went really well. #nashville #proaudio #musicproduction

This is good —the Mayor of Yellowknife NWT in Canada’s far north weighs in on “Car Bloat” (truck bloat actually) and its many big costs & consequences (thanks @davidzipper.bsky.social for heads-up). And like most who dare tell the truth about that, he’s taking flack. www.linkedin.com/mwlite/feed/...

Okay that's better #gearsquad #nicerack

#jimmycarter was one of the best #uspresidents, and human beings, to ever exist. #kindness isn't weakness. True kindness is strength. #uspoli

Some more views of these Christmas jigsaw earrings. They were painted as one with careful clamping, and then I tidied up the edges when I painted the backs. #Jigsaw #earrings #jewellery #snowflake #drh

Wow. I’m somehow surprised that #pixelmatorpro is one of the few apps I use semi-regularly that is in Squircle Jail. It is,a flyer wall, owned by #apple.

Day 15. The nightmare is finally over. My iPhone Air has a working eSIM, and they have offered €100 in account credit. I'm ready to crawl into a hole and hibernate for the winter 🫠

So #affinity (owned by #canva) is trying to get people excited about some sort of new release. They’ve irritated a lot of people because they’ve removed their suite from sale until the end of the month, so people using a total are unable to *spend money* for the product. Additionally trust is […]

Fat Cat Software recently asked for our help updating the PowerPhotos icon for Liquid Glass. We had a blast revisiting the charming little bot! Let us know if you need help with your app’s icon. #icondesign #liquidglass #dev #mac

A few Imperial units for the Battle of Hoth board game - all four probe droids and just one AT-AT. The walker was fun, really great level of detail. #battleofhoth #StarWars #minis #minipainting

Just watched the D E V O documentary on Netflix. Essential for all music lovers and creators. The Glyn Johns being interviewed by Rick Beato. Fabulous!!! #devo #glynjohns #indie #music #musicproducerlife #producer

That cat was accused of counter-revolutionary activities by the Committee of Public Safety.

I share in part I received news of it on a normally quiet #ARDC mailing list which was then followed up by incoherent old white men whining that trying to encourage other-than-white-old-man in radio was against the spirit of #AmateurRadio and maybe against […] [Original post on musicians.today]

I’m at a county fair to see a concert and surprised at the geek stuff that crept in: lots of video games and such references in stuff, and someone put a well-painted squad of #warhammer #40k orks in for judging.

Respectfully, to the people who say Siebert should have waited to be fired rather than resigning, I'm not sure there's a significant difference. In both cases, he publicly demonstrates integrity by refusing to prosecute, and in both cases the press reports it as Trump exerting improper influence.

I went to a laser cutting class right after and etched the book I saw

Maybe think twice if you have Wyze Cams and pay for their cloud subscription. If you have a supported camera, maybe consider the Thingino firmware. #privacy #wyze #wyzecam

I’m noticing a problem with the newest release of @overcastfm on my phone running iOS 18.6.2. In the episode list the last item’s buttons don’t work reliably: I think they’re “covered” by the summary row in some circumstances.

@MacBalance just published this zine about Git in 2024! :) https://wizardzines.com/zines/git/

I do miss that in all seriousness. Has been a joy going through my old White Dwarf magazines from the late 80s.

The Drop Bears bring a bit of stunty fun, and maybe you fancy proxying a halfling team, well there's a few here you'll need. There's a few missing though... hmmm, I wonder if something is coming for that too.
