Ok, #Carlton, it’s up to you.
There’s a real chance you can kick #Poilievre out of his seat in parliament. I’ve shared details on how you can support PP’s opponent Bruce Fanjoy to #UnseatPoilievre on this hashtag.
How amazing would it be to kick Poilievre out of the House of Commons?

Sadopolitics: Why MAGA clings tighter to Trump the more his policies hurt them
Psychology helps to explain why Trump’s followers will not abandon him

"What political scientists describe as affective/negative polarization describes how political disagreements are increasingly existential value judgments where 'the other side' is not just wrong but evil. In such an environment, changing one’s mind, by, for example, deciding to no longer support Trump’s policies, becomes less likely."

I was recently having a conversation about "Mastodon hug of death" and how the type of site (static vs dynamic), caching, and page size all play a role in handling traffic. While I never expect to have to mitigate against that scenario, I wanted to take a look at my page size and my most recent post was 5.7 MB. That's pretty chonky, especially as I'm planning to self-host the site!!
That was enough motivation to finally just make a Hugo shortcode to insert images as resized figures (with full size images linked). That reduced my page size to 450 KB, a 12x reduction! That's the TL;DR, but here's the TL;PR.
Slimming the site slightly
I was looking into how Caddy serves pre-compressed files (html/css/js), it’s pretty straightforward, I just need to generate the compressed files after Hugo builds the site.shom.dev

The image features a character from an animated film set in ancient Egypt. The character is a muscular man with a dark complexion, wearing a traditional Egyptian headdress and a striped collar, indicative of royalty or high status. He is standing on a boat, with the pyramids visible in the background, suggesting a setting near the Nile River. The character's expression is stern, and he is gesturing with his right hand, pointing upwards. The text overlay reads, "Enough. I will hear no more of this HOME BREW nonsense." The word "HOME BREW" is emphasized in bold, capital letters. The overall color palette includes warm tones, with the character's skin tone contrasting against the golden hues of his attire and the background.

New - Tesla stands to win from Trump's order for sweeping 25% tariffs on foreign-made autos and car parts. The tariffs hit as Tesla's sales and market share, both in the U.S. and globally, are on the decline.

Election promise: Lower grocery prices.
Actual policy: Higher car prices.
You really need to be in a cult for that to make sense.
The Five Phases of MAGA:
1. It never happened.
2. OK, it happened, but not the way you said.
3. It happened, but it wasn't illegal.
4. It happened and it was illegal, but there's not a damned thing you can do about it.
5. It happened, we're proud of it, and you're a traitor for questioning it.

in reply to Frankie ✅ • • •The image is a six-panel comic strip featuring a goat-like character and a human barista in a coffee shop setting. The first panel shows the goat character outside a building, looking excited. The second panel introduces the barista, who is standing behind the counter with a menu that lists "Espresso Shots" and their prices. The third panel shows the goat character inside the shop, asking, "Can I have THIS much?" while holding a large amount of coins. The fourth panel zooms in on the menu, emphasizing the prices. The fifth panel shows the barista preparing a "Triple Dripper Double Espresso" for the goat character. The final panel depicts the goat character drinking the coffee, with a burst of energy or power emanating from them, suggesting a reaction to the strong coffee.
