Beethoven tells you what it's like to be Beethoven and Mozart tells you what it's like to be human. Bach tells you what it's like to be the universe.

"We want guarantees that during the 30-day ceasefire Ukraine won't hold mobilization, won't train troops and won't receive weapons"

And yet Russia makes no such promise

Woa, has he said “thank you” even once for all the help from Trump lately? Mr. Putin can come back to the negotiation table when he is ready for peace.

Climate groups are being charged with “conspiracy to defraud the United States” just for receiving grants from the Biden Administration. Their assets are being frozen and this will no doubt force them to use their already limited funds to defend against a baseless, cruel, unfounded claim that is a clear weaponization of the justice system. #uspol #fbi

« La réalisation du socialisme ne sera pas possible à moins que la nouvelle ère ne détruise la culture dominée par les hommes, profondément ancrée dans la société. Le socialisme peut être atteint par la libération des femmes. (...) La question des femmes est un problème plus profond que la question kurde. Nous n'en sommes qu'au début. La culture de la guerre et du conflit reste principalement dirigée contre les femmes. Repousser cette culture dans une certaine mesure doit être le moteur de la lutte. »
Message d'Abdullah Öcalan pour la Journée internationale des femmes, ANF News-, 8 mars 2025

Marjorie Taylor Greene Urges DOJ Probe Into Tesla Protests--A Possible House Rules Violation Since She Owns The Company's Stock (Zach Everson/Forbes)

My blog is a bog-standard WordPress theme that looks like it's from 2010 because it is.

I've never focused much on fancy CSS or optimizations because it's hard enough for me to muster the energy to write words. This post resonates with me: front-end.social/@anarodrigues…


I'm starting to get frustrated at myself when I catch myself saying to people "yeah, I have little draft about this topic but never published it".

If I am OK with an unpolished personal website, I gotta be OK with unpolished thoughts too.

Anyway, here it goes.

New post: ohhelloana.blog/in-defense-of-… where I ramble about how I don't want to destroy the viewsource experience of my little blog.

Tesla’s more ‘affordable’ EVs will probably just be cheaper Model Ys.

Tesla has been promising more affordable models as the thing that will help pull it out of its current rut. But a new report out of China (by way of Electrek) suggests that they’re likely to be stripped down Model Ys. This follows reports that the company was testing sub-$35,000 Model 3s in Mexico with cheaper materials and fewer screens. Based on the 36kr report, the project is being spearheaded by Tesla’s Chinese engineers — which makes sense, because car companies in that country have really cracked the code on cheap EVs.

In response to China's price war, Tesla has also planned a low-priced "Model Y"



Defense Dep't settles claims from LGBTQ+ veterans discharged under ‘Don’t Ask Don’t Tell’ tucsonsentinel.com/nationworld…
Veterans who were discharged under the Defense Department's “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” policy will be able to shed their "other than honorable" discharge status under a settlement that got a federal judge's final approval on Wednesday.

Lukashenko:

"We also discussed the new situation with regard to the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine. Vladimir Vladimirovich will probably still have to work intensively on this issue today and tomorrow, and we will also discuss the prospects.

I would like to say that we should not count on anything great in this situation. We need to believe the facts. We discuss the fact and accept it or not. This is the main thing.

Captured with a small mirrorless camera and 50mm lens.

This hallway reminded me of a sight gag in the Coens' "Inside Llewyn Davis". I like that the two neighbors have to share a doormat.

The starkly bare hallway and contrasting tones between the walls and the doors and floor make this as much a study in abstract shapes as it is about urban living.

I bet when the fire alarm goes off the neighbors run out and collide like a slapstick comedy.

"Who designed this?" you might ask.

Small NYC brownstones such as the one shown here were generally either built from the start as multi-family tenements, or were built as single-family homes and later subdivided into apartments. In the former case, the layout into individual units was part of the original design and generally fairly sane. In the latter case, landlords often tried to squeeze every square inch of rentable space out of the existing layout, at the expense of things like hallways.

The first place I lived in NYC was originally designed to be 6 floors x 2 relatively spacious apts. when I lived there, it had been divided into 4 600 sq/ft apts per floor.
in reply to Matt Blaze

I mean you can't sleep in a hallway now can you ?

At USC there used to be a design contest at the Architecture school for putting the maximum number of living spaces into the smallest number of square feet. Each 'unit' had to support two adults, cooking, bathing, a bathroom, and a place to sleep.

One of the students called it 'smooshed camping' which sort of stuck with me.
