Bird in flight, which is impossible round and fluffy. Looks a bit like a cotton ball with black eyes and beak and brown wings.

@futurebird The top layer is laser-printed on adhesive vinyl. And that's overlayed on a 3D-printed membrane keypad.

Here's my wish for MAGA:

I want everything that you just voted for to happen to you specifically. I want it to happen to your children. I want it to happen to your parents and your grandparents. I want it to happen to your job and your business. I want it to happen to your church. I want every single thing you chose to happen, happen specifically to you.

And the fact that you just heard that as a threat is exactly the point.

Someone's found their posting niche and it's on linkedin

Ken Chang "I want to connect with you emotionally :)"

I go to the sexual health clinic every 2 weeks to get a regular STI test, even when I haven't had sex for a year.

Why?

It's important to project an image of success even when you're failing.

The same is true for business. Even if your business is in trouble, you need everyone to believe in you.

That's why I also announce my STI test visits in the company newsletter, and bring it up at the biweekly meetings.

"The company can't be in trouble, if our boss is getting laid this often."

Jokes on them. I'm not getting laid at all and the company is going into liquidation.

But the important part is no one knows either of those. The truth is what you make it.

If you are still shellshocked, like me, by who wish to turn their backs on others for their own gain in such a disappointing way...

If you do not know how to live through a possibly authoritarian and fascist regime that you did not choose:

Als je nog enigszins in shock bent van de hoeveelheid mensen die in de VS, maar ook hier, anderen het licht in de ogen niet gunnen.

Als je niet weet hoe je een eventueel fascistisch regime, waar je zelf niet voor hebt gekozen, moet doormaken:

Nothing scares me more than the fact, that European politicians have sleepwalked into the largest security problem in European history.

The entire European security architecture is based on the premise, that the US is lead by someone trustworthy.

The internet monitoring is run by the NSA. All operating systems are American. Most military equipment, the F-35's — even the EU nukes are made in the USA.

And now this entire security foundation is ultimately controlled by the gangster president.

If you work in publishing or love books and are wondering what the actual f*** to do right now, I've got a recommendation:

Get up to speed on reader surveillance and digital book censorship, and organize to resist it.

Maaike boosted:
2024-11-06

If digital books aren't locked behind third party big tech licensing apps, all of us can preserve the truth.

Libraries can choose whether or not to surveil readers, whether or not to retain reading histories by default.

Readers can choose surveillance-free reading apps, and trust their books haven't been silently edited in the night.

After trying a few ways of deleting tweets, everything I could find seemed to be either outdated, sketchy, or just broken. Here's a new one (requires copy/pasting in the JS console).

'Second: don’t expect “the media” to do this job for you. Some of its practitioners do, brilliantly and at times heroically. But most of the media exists to sell you things. Its allegiance is to boosting circulation, online traffic, ad revenue. Don’t begrudge it that. But then don’t be suckered about the reasons why Story X got play and Story Y did not.' theguardian.com/media/2017/feb via @davidallengreen
