THIS IS THE CALL OF CTHULU

DO YOU ACCEPT THE CHARGES

Writing up an annual report for ACC and noting that mirror.accum.se has saved 1600 tons of plastic, if the alternative had been delivering the same data on CDs instead of downloads.

The more absurd the comparison, the greener the activity?

Woodpiles along the street are a characteristic of Portland, Oregon. Costs five dollars and fifty cents per cord, and must be hauled thirty-five miles. (Shows homeowner on porch.) Portland, Oregon

Good morning! ☕

(Update: This is not a blasphemy mod. It was a product sold by SiliconGraphics in Germany. There is even a spec sheet for the Espressigo. Ask google if you don't believe me)

6,000 probationary USDA employees hired back.

Guantanamo detainees brought back stateside

Weldon's CDC nomination yanked.

Tesla stock in the toilet.

Pushback works. Court battles work. Protests work.

We can't save everything, but the things we can save are worth saving.

Keep going.

Widersprüche, die die Zukunft unserer Kinder riskieren: Die Union hält an einer Politik fest, die das Morgen nicht mitdenkt. Nicht mit uns: Wir messen Politik an der Realität. Und die lautet: Klimakrise bekämpfen, Klimaschutz schaffen, Menschenleben schützen!

Oh, and a thing happened this morning... showering, doorbell goes, grab towel, runs to door.

DPD man is staring, I take the parcel and wonder why the stares today when he's seen me so many times in the past.

I go back in and to the bathroom, catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror, and I realise I've wrapped the towel waist down like a man would, yet I now have boobage and should be wrapping chest down like a woman would.

DPD man got an eyefull of boobs this morning, oops.

#DOGE regularly demonstrates massive incompetence by citing "savings" that are nonexistent or grossly overstated. In response to being called out, they're concealing details necessary for checking their claims - while still making massively error-riddled claims.

DOGE Makes Its Latest Errors Harder to Find

Elon Musk’s group obscured the details of some new claims on its website, despite promises of transparency. But The Times was still able to detect another batch of mistakes.

I finally got a lock and actually used my bike, for the first time since the move. Biking here immediately seems so much nicer than what I am used to.

Like, cars seem to see me here. So weird.

iOS is not more accessible than Android. Android's approach on accessibility is just different.

NVDA is not better than JAWS. They both have different approaches, and people used to NVDA may not like JAWS' approach and vice versa.
A piano is not better than a guitar. They both produce music, but they do so in fundamentally different ways. A pianist might find a guitar frustrating, and vice versa.
We need to stop saying that something is terrible to use if it's using a different angle.

My sweet baby Bandit is at the vet today so they can sedate him and get a better look at the mass in his mouth, so here is a photo of him from Tuesday evening looking very cute, as he always does. Send him good thoughts/energy/prayers/whatever, and send me the same for the bills I'm somehow going to have to figure out how to pay. #cats #MastoCats #CatsOfMastodon #FediCats #CatsOfFediverse

Please send this to your Senators regarding the budget bill. (Background: The House passed a stop-gap bill Tuesday to fund the government through September and the Senate must vote on it. The House has gone into recess to force the Senate to accept the bill with no changes. )

Dear Senator --

For months Republicans have talked about how they were going to fund their legislative priorities, but here we are again, facing another Continuing Resolution.

In your negotiations in the Senate, constantly remind everyone that the Constitution Article 1, Section 9, Clause 7 gives the power of the purse to Congress, not the President. The President has no legitimate authority under the Constitution for meddling in the appropriations process.

The Continuing Resolution must include language reminding the Executive Branch that it has no budgetary power over Congress. Make Republicans vote on their support for the Constitutional separation of powers.

Stand firm in your efforts.

Marktbericht: Zollpolitik macht Anleger nervös

An den US-Börsen machen sich weiter Konjunktursorgen bemerkbar. Nachdem US-Präsident Trump immense Zölle auf Waren aus der EU androhte, bleiben die Befürchtungen, dass die Zollkonflikte der USA die Inflation anfachen.

Marktbericht: DAX wackelt wieder

Einen Teil der starken Vortagesgewinne dürfte der DAX zum Handelsstart wieder verlieren. Das Gezerre um die US-Zollpolitik zwingt die Anleger zur Vorsicht. Sie scheuen das Risiko.
