The FBI has a long history of fixating on environmental protest movements as terrorism suspects. interc.pt/4d5iEyQ
A photo of an Ohio National Guard soldier during training at Camp Grayling Joint Maneuver Training Center in Grayling, Mich., on Aug. 21, 2015, overlaid with the headline, "They Protested a Military Base Expansion. So the FBI Investigated Them as Terrorism Suspects."

If you're argument is that an elite political police force is in fact "incapable of redemption" as you put it, the response should be to build strong social movements which can push back and resist repression, not hope the institution itself will be less bad. This is something we actually have control over and can do, as opposed to hoping the system reforms something that is working very much by design.

Day 1056

mastodon - Link to source
Glædelig mandag. Just sending you a postcard from #Aarhus, just to say that I hope this week treats you well.
Standing inside artist Olafur Eliasson‘s ‘Your rainbow panorama', a 150m circular walkway with glass panels in a shifting rainbow of colours. It is 50 metres above the city, on the top of Aros art museum in mid-city Aarhus. The glass colours, the time of day, the weather - they all change the mood and hue of the 360º views across the city as you walk along. In this photo, it’s after dark, so the glass seems transparent and black with white and orange streaks in the glass. Outside, we can see city lights – car lights, window lights, illuminated facades. Most prominent is the city hall clock tower – a symbol of the city, illuminated in green.

@wannabemystiker Ah, a spaceship vibe! I hadn’t thought of that, but yes. It kind of feels like that after dark, acoustically too.

@marypouy I am really sorry to see this. Of no practical use, I'm afraid, but I am sending good thoughts to you and to your sister. I hope too that things get better for her.

I feel like a broken record over here, this needs to be understood the . .

"Yes, I am lying but there is a greater symbolic truth about the nation in that lie" is pretty fascist.

Post from Sam Stein @samstein. 3hours ago JD Vance acknowledges the cat and dog stories are urban legends and then rationalizes it (via CNN): “If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that's what I'm going to do." Admitted that Trump and Vance made up the whole racist lie that is threatening people's lives. 10:11 AM 9/15/24

"I have been briefed by my team regarding what federal law enforcement is investigating as a possible assassination attempt of former President Trump today. A suspect is in custody, and I commend the work of the Secret Service and their law enforcement partners for their vigilance and their efforts to keep the former President and those around him safe." - President Biden in a statement

The suspect was armed (with a knife) and, allegedly, tasers were ineffective.. I still think there were better ways to handle this versus firing wildly and hitting innocent people and each other..

There are 3 Mario Brothers, not two. Mario and Luigi have a third brother. Let's examine the evidence.

Mario Mario (Mario is Mario's in-canon actual last name)
Occupation: plumber
Height: short
Weight: muscular (punches bricks)
Favorite color: red

Luigi Mario
Occupation: also plumber
Height: tall
Weight: slender (floaty jump)
Favorite color: green

Doctor Mario (first name unknown)
Occupation: doctor (not a plumber)
Height: average (does not need to eat a mushroom to already be about Luigi's height)
Weight: average (not slender like Luigi)
Favorite color: white (wears a doctor's outfit with no red cap)

In addition, all three brothers are Italian. And what are the colors of the Italian flag? That's right. Red, green, and white. Doctor Mario is the third brother in the Mario family.

I'm pretty happy to have switched this year after 10 years of primarily Ubuntu to Linux Mint Debian Edition 6 (LMDE6).

Updating to the latest LibreOffice took some effort, as did setting up the swap space.

My one big complaint is that the lock screen sometimes reveales what it should hide.

Photography is increasingly becoming my main coping mechanism for big picture dread. It pulls me back to the present, and reminds me of how remarkable it is that we are all here. (Inspired by @idzie’s monarch musings)
