Fedi, I write to you today with worry. I'm beginning to think I've skipped down a dark, slippery slope that there is no escape from. I just finished my first piece of art containing a mousegirl.
I can only hope I'm strong enough to resist the inevitable slide into drawing tons of cute human/animal girl hybrids, but I doubt it.
Please provide your condolences below; or let me know if you like the piece
This is the way.
I mean, it’s a real and terrifying possibility that we don’t even have elections by the time Schumer is up for reelection. Things are moving fast, way too fast for electoral solutions.
But, if democracy in the US survives until future election cycles, we need to primary the hell out of the wavering half of the Democratic party. Take every one who’s been weak opposing Trump and primary them •hard•, then vote whoever’s more anti-fascist (however pathetically) in the general.
That’s down the road, heaven willing. Now: the phones, then the streets.

New party in the same body does seem like the more tractable and realistic path right now. Heck, Republicans pulled it off twice in living memory (once with Souther Strategy, once with the Tea Party).

I've got just shy of 4000 km on mine. I'd recommend against a trike, as they handle so poorly, and cargo bikes actually can be fun to ride! (...just don't expect it to make any tight turns.) That one has a hub motor, which can be okay, but mid-drive will usually give you a better pedal assist experience. The price on that one is low enough to make me a bit suspicious. I'd check out your local used market -- at least here in Seattle you could find a pretty nice used model that has barely been ridden at all for about that price.
But really, whatever you get, I bet you'll love it!

I wish Pelosi had just hung up her hat after the ACA, a fine place to rest on one’s laurels and pass the torch.
Whole lot of missed opportunities for sure. And ample blame to go around. But for now, we’re fighting a fire and I’ll just take the help of anybody who’s bringing water.

Some context on this from @jeffjarvis:
One of the purposes of these on-again-off-again waffling tariffs, as well as the chaotic slash-and-burn nonsense of “DOGE,” is to create both damage to businesses •and• the possibility of exemptions, so that the Trump admin can squeeze them.
It’s basically a mafia protection money racket: “Nice business you got there, shame if it got tariffed.”
So yes, I expect direct harm to corporate allies of Trump, and I also expect too-convenient carve-outs. Both. mastodon.social/@jeffjarvis/11…

Cybersecurity is political. Period, end of story. If you could vote and didn’t bother because it was boring you’re just as responsible for loss of key research, ISAC funding, international collaboration, and federal jobs.

Reminds of the time years ago when someone at schneier.com wondered why there was less discussion of security issues, and more political.
My response: If you do not pay attention to the political issues, you will not have any computer network security issues to worry about.

So remember how a few days ago I shared this official Starlink document that just casually mentions that they found a piece of a Starlink satellite on a farm in Saskatchewan? starlink.com/public-files/Star…
I had really convinced myself it must be some kind of chatgpt gobbledygook. But... a reliable source confirmed that this really happened.
SpaceLifeForm reshared this.
SpaceX dropped potentially lethal debris from TWO DIFFERENT SPACECRAFT onto Saskatchewan within 6 months. And as far as I can tell, they just waltzed in and picked up the second piece without anyone official knowing about it. This is a very big problem for a lot of obvious legal reasons.
It mostly terrifies me because there are 7,000 Starlinks, and if each one leaves behind debris after demise, that's... a lot.
