Gov Newsom's messaging is becoming political perfectionism:
"America, 2025:🚨Caregivers running from ICE agents &💔#ICE agents putting kids into the back of a van at a park.
Tomorrow, as protests happen across the nation don’t give Trump what he wants."
“If They Can Cuff a US Senator for Asking a Q, What Will They Do to You?”
"Newsom drops the mask, blasts political overreach in chilling message about freedom & fear."

How webcams came to be? Oh, coffee!
The Trojan Room coffee pot was a coffee machine located in the Computer Laboratory of the University of Cambridge, England. It was the subject of the world's first webcam, created by Quentin Stafford-Fraser and Paul Jardetzky in 1991.
It's funny really. The first webcam was invented just to keep an eye on whether the coffee was out or not without having to go in there to do it.
And now today we can watch other people watching virtual coffee pots instead. We've come so far!

In today's "seagulls being absolute menaces" news: Gull samples man's coffee, before stealing the mug and dropping it in the sea. (An actual china mug, not some paper thing.) Could argue the gull was justified, as the man had been installing anti bird spikes on nearby houses, before stopping off at a pub for lunch. 😉

I've made this post about the manifesto

The information I've so far seen, does not provide any political affiliations. So, we don't know so far.
One thing is sure, though, the hit list is enormous (70) + it includes non-politicians.
So, anything is possible, still.
I do hope, though, that they were not political. That would tend to lead the US to(wards) the road of the mass assassinations of the 1920's Weimar Republic.

#Israel's attacks on #Iran hint at a bigger ambition: regime change
Israel's surprise attack on Iran had an obvious goal of sharply disrupting Tehran's #nuclear programme & lengthening the time it would need to develop an #atomic weapon.
But the scale of the attacks, Israel's choice of targets, and its politicians' own words suggest another, longer-term ambition: toppling the regime itself.
Feeling a very weird mix of shame and gratitude for my partner and a friend of ours who are going to our local pride market with some pottery.
I've sadly accepted that my CPTSD mostly excludes me from attending these events, particularly for longer periods of time where I can't really just pick up and leave.
Not sure if this is a failure, a win or both 🤔
I am trying to focus on what I can do, which today means cleaning the house.
Thank you so much for your empathy and kindness and understanding and wisdom 💙
I think acceptance of where I am at is the first step towards finding another door that's not locked.
I appreciate you and hope you have a great weekend.

in reply to Kim Perales • • •@liquor_american Yeah, I think he's a shit too, and hated him as mayor, but when he turned around and said, "I don't care what the courts say or politicians say, gay people can get married in my city"..... well, I gotta say, that took a set of balls and it really made me forgive some of his previous smarmy political BS.
So.... pretty much a political douche, but sometimes he gets it right. And, I guess that's better than most nowadays.
