We took a look at some of the far-right individuals involved in running Heartbeat of Miami, a 'fake clinic' that works to try to prevent people from accessing abortion care.

Read the full story and jump down the rabbithole for yourself here: unicornriot.ninja/2024/miami-a…

in reply to Unicorn Riot

The primary purpose of Heartbeat International's so-called "Pregnancy Help Centers" is to dissuade visitors from getting an abortion, no matter the consequences - even if the baby dies shortly after childbirth.

Meet the right-wing Canadian influencers accused of collaborating with an alleged Russian propaganda scheme


On Thursday, Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc said the government was working with the U.S. "on this serious matter."

"Any Canadians who illegally assist in Russia's persistent attempts to use disinformation, criminal and covert activities, and corruption to undermine our sovereignty and democratic processes will face the full force of Canadian law," he said in a statement.

Intelligence experts say the details in the indictment were a further indication of the scope of Russian efforts to influence the American election.

That's what the Nazis were, they had huge programmes of state funded projects.
in reply to Adam Hunt

Too bad now people are too afraid of being called "populists" to suggest investing in infrastructure or social programs that don't generate profit for some multinational megacorp.


Blog post: NY Times publisher's warns of threat to press freedom, but misses the bigger threat -- to democracy. And he continues to insist that his news organization won't take a stand on that.

This just infuriated me: β€œIt is beyond shortsighted to give up journalistic independence out of fear that it might later be taken away”

He just doesn’t get it. The shortsightedness is not recognizing that this is truly an extinction level event for those of us who do not have chauffeurs and private planes.

Writing something this stupid is possible only when you have grown up and lived in an absolute bubble of impenetrable privilege



Donald Trump promised potential investors in his media company that they would see massive revenue. He has not delivered.

Winged Escape

This is a male, red-bellied woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus) departing a bird feeder with a peanut.

"Red-bellied Woodpeckers are pale, medium-sized woodpeckers common in forests of the East. Their strikingly barred backs and gleaming red caps make them an unforgettable sight – just resist the temptation to call them Red-headed Woodpeckers, a somewhat rarer species that's mostly black on the back with big white wing patches. Learn the Red-bellied's rolling call and you’ll notice these birds everywhere." - allaboutbirds.org

I don't post all of the photos that I post here to my Pixels gallery, but I post the photos I like best. Some don't make the cut. I usually wait a couple of days and see how I feel about it then.

Gorgeous photo. We usually have these birds at our suet feeder, but they must be enjoying bugs in the wild. They’ll be back. I hope H5N1 hasn’t affected their populations.

@Bioalchemy13

Thanks! They'll be back, I'm sure. The red-bellies are regular visitors to my backyard, but they go for the seeds particularly peanuts. They don't normally hit the suet feeder.

@link2xt Fair enough. I generally allow unfree packages though. But good on you for contributing :). We need more people like that.

Audio tutorial time! Last time we implemented a filter, but it sounded choppy because we process our audio in chunks: in this part we learn how to make the choppiness disappear

Does there exist a fontawesome-esque SVG of Xenia the Linux fox? Tux looks so skrunkled at tiny sizes, I'd like to replace him.

I have yet to discover a complete (tested / verified working) guide to obtaining (deb/snap/diy-compile) an #ffmpeg executable, which runs on #Ubuntu #Linux, has been compiled with "--enable-amf", and doesn't throw errors upon execution!

#Copilot says, the amdgpu driver in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS should support #AMD #AMF.

The point is, i finally want to be able to actually use my RDNA3 #AV1 hardware encoder.

…i'm not afraid to compile stuff, but i certainly require training wheels - a proper guide!



Those interested in learned society journals - including finances, unpaid labour, in-kind support - might be interested in our article on the business history of #IsisJournal from the 1950s on. It really brought home to me the importance of that dwindling phenomenon: 'institutional support'. #histsci #scholarlyPublishing
