I installed Dolphin on my Fedora 41 Cinnamon Spin. Dolphin is a beautiful file manager. The only thing I can't figure out is how to get it to theme like the rest of my desktop. Any suggestions?

"2000 Mules" was always obviously nonsense. D'Souza's belated acknowledgement that it doesn't show what he always insisted it did comes far too late for the damage it did — as has been the case with so many other Trumpworld lies. washingtonpost.com/politics/20…

One more proof. A system of allowing lies to be broadcast with no pushback -- because ideally people will evaluate the evidence and see through them -- is a failure.

People don't work that way.

We're letting the rule of law be beaten to death because we love to believe in Rational Man.

Heron at Dawn

I saw this great blue heron (Ardea herodias) on the beach and Gulfport, Mississippi. There were a few of them on the beach, pretty much evenly spaced on the shoreline as if they each had their own territory.

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.
