Fuck.

The new IMPD transparency hub is promising, but I was curious to see that they don't include ethnicity in the dataset, just race. I believe they were compelled to publish this, and I wonder if the enabling legislation just omitted ethnicity? Would like to know how IMPD is treating Hispanic people.

with alt text, because everyone deserves a good cry. come over.

""" “If you’re going to tell me I can’t do it,” said Grambo, who carries a whistle on his keychain and has since bought a body camera to document future interactions, “I’m going to do it even louder.” """ Hero shit.

Is it just me or are the Healthcare.gov emails reminder emails different this year? I've gotten several that loudly and up front advertise "Your coverage next year is going to be more expensive". Someone on the inside trying to insure voters understand the situation? A ploy to collapse the market?

If trans women aren't real women then why do I love putting tiny kittens down my shirt? Checkmate, fascist, look upon my cozy kitten and weep.

My darkest secret is that when I'm making dinner and my wife is not home I secretly use the pre minced garlic that I keep in the back of the fridge. And sometimes even the squeeze bottle of lemon juice I keep hidden behind the soy milk containers. Shhhhh

Why the fuck is it pitch black outside.

CalTopo just completely blows my mind for backcountry planning. It is just so good. So many incredible layers, so many powerful features, and with a completely usable free version? It scales from full blown search and rescue planning to day hikes.

"Perhaps you like we, love boats and dream of really going somewhere in one. If I could share only one insight with you it would be this: Don't believe for one minute that the limitation on what you can do lies with the boat you do or do not own. That's not it. The limitations lie within ourselves."

Late Saturday night/early Sunday morning a helicopter circled my neighborhood for some time. I was able to go back and identify it, although it had requested that tracking be disabled. I believe it was owned by ISP. It took off from the IMPD training facility at 10th and Post and landed at Greenwood

This story may have been based on my tip! I was looking at the list of projects and saw Brian Mowery's project and it seemed extremely random, until I looked at the property records and saw where he owns a house.

The workflow where I open an app and to log in they send a code to my email, but when I switch to my email app and back it reloads the app without saving the state and I have to log in again, triggering another code via email... A few sites and apps have a "already have a code" option, which is nice

We all deserve this and we all need this. I hope we all get this.

Doing anything during an AWS outage is an exercise in frustration. Is it a configuration error or just Twilio puking on my shoes while AWS holds their hair back? Only time will tell!

Cause of death: pjsip authentication issues

Nothing is more defeating then the firewall slamming down while you are trying to configure it. On the one hand, I've now established that fail2ban is working well, on the other hand now I need the out of band console to whitelist my IP.

Mayor Joe Hogsett was once named “Mr. Clean” by a watchdog organization for his tough stance on government corruption as U.S. attorney. A Mirror Indy/IndyStar investigation finds that the mayor ignored conflicts of interest involving millions of dollars in city incentives. https://bit.ly/3L8OOBe

Hope everyone has a good day and remember

Amphibians unite 🐸🐸 #WarRavagedPortland

Fuuuuuck. Amazing.

Where can I go in North America in November or December for a week-long wilderness trip where it will be beautiful, I won't see any (or very few) people and it won't be too cold? Bonus points if they don't kill trans women there.

Is it a sign of aging that my raspberry pi zero ADS/B receiver has been persistently crashing and the thought of ssh'ing in and fixing it is just exhausting instead of exciting? I have been putting off upgrading it to a N150 mini-pc so I can stop paying for VPSs as well since its a chore and not joy

Indiana Offers Tax Breaks To Attract Religious Doomsday Cults http://theonion.com/indiana-offers-tax-breaks-to-attract-religious-doomsday-cults/

The City of Indianapolis continues to fail survivors of sexual abuse perpetrated by its leaders and employees. @laurenkayroberts.bsky.social is leading a fundraiser to support the immediate housing needs of another survivor, please give what you can to keep this person housed while our city fails us

"God is Change, And in the end, God prevails. But meanwhile… Kindness eases Change. Love quiets fear. And a sweet and powerful Positive obsession Blunts pain, Diverts rage, And engages each of us In the greatest, The most intense Of our chosen struggles" — Octavia E. Butler, 'Parable of the Sower'

Shout out to medical portals that require SMS 2 factor on every login but don't support any other 2 factor method. Really keeping things locked down there buddy.

When changing the rear wheel disc brake pads on the Radwagon 4, it is much easier to just remove the caliper than it is to remove all the crap that is in the way of accessing the caliper. Learn from my experience, and save yourself a lot of hassle.

Local interest mystery - why are there a bunch of dead rats on the Cultural Trail connector on 10th St under the Interstate? They keep appearing, like 20-30 of them, and then slowly disappearing before a new batch appears. Both sides, north and south. @indystar.bsky.social @mirrorindy.org

Trantifa has got to be the coolest name for a movement, ever. It is very rare that a sequel tops the original, but as cool as ANTIFA is and was, TRANTIFA is twice as cool.

Good time to be an accelerationist I suppose, but a bad time for everyone.

A used bookstore with 800,000 books in Lawrence?? Omg, how did I not know about this?? Once again local media making my life better!

Day drinking (gatorade) in the hammock and taking pictures of dogs that walk by.

Fuck I'm at a conference up front and I just started crying reading this comic. Fuck.

Who knew that trying smoking in high school would pay off with now being eligible for the covid vaccine? Fuck RFK Jr and fuck all the people who are standing between my children and the covid vaccine.

Local investigative journalism is so critical and so powerful. Thank you to journalist Peter Blanchard, outlet Mirror Indy and funder/founder Free Press Indiana.

🧵I've been thinking today about all the efforts made, just in my lifetime, to change social conventions around sexual assault—not END it, no one thought we might actually END it, just: how to fucking FRAME it—and how the general consensus is that those efforts largely failed.

✨🏳️‍⚧️ Belated Pride Comic (1/4) 🏳️‍⚧️✨

Sports are the pry bar that they used to break trans women away from cis women, red flag laws will be the pry bar they use to classify us as mentally ill. Once we are classified as mentally ill, RFK Jr. will be free to round us up into work camps for agribusiness.

Cis people: This is where you fucking step up. Do everything you can to support trans people in the coming days. You're going to hear horrible, hurtful rhetoric about us. Shut it down. Don't let it stand. And buy the trans people in your life a drink.

Transmen have it so good - they go from paying $150 for a haircut to $20 + 5 tip, and it probably includes a cold beer. The sticker shock of going the other direction is still just blowing my mind.

My kiddo causally dropped in conversation this morning that eels migrate to the Bermuda Triangle to breed. She challenged my casual dismissal and holy fucking shit they do! Like eels that live in LANDLOCKED FRESHWATER IN EUROPE CROSS DRY LAND to get to the ocean and swim thousands of miles. WTF!!!!

This really encapsulates how the City-County Council and Mayor's office are focused on protecting themselves and their allies first and foremost. The well-being of survivors has always been a secondary concern at best. How long will we tolerate these assholes?

I'm writing a tool to automatically extract specific data from PDFs and like all such projects, I got 90% of the way there with a shell script of less than 10 lines and 30 minutes. Getting to 99% is requiring an order of magnitude more code and re-writing in Python and several hours.

Thinking about getting really into making my own vegan jerky.

I need to create a rescue USB to re-install Windows on a new used Thinkpad for work using a proprietary tool. The tool to create the USB is a signed EXE that I can't get to work with Wine, so I'm installing a whole g-d damn Windows 10 image with VirtualBox, so I can run single tool for 5 minutes.

Bella Ciao gives me goosebumps every single time. And makes me cry every second time.
