Thinking of this quote today with MN's actions, and how we build such escalating connected actions: "Over and over, the Global Nonviolent Action Database shows that positive results come from a series of escalating, connected actions called a campaign."
On January 23, thousands of people went on strike in the Twin Cities to oppose the ongoing campaign of kidnapping and murder that federal mercenaries have perpetrated over the past two months in service to Donald Trump’s program of ethnic cleansing. Over 1000 businesses shut down—some enthusiastically, others involuntarily. At the same time, a smaller number of demonstrators set out to prevent federal mercenaries associated with Immigration and Customs Enforcement from carrying out the abductions they had planned for the day.
Early on the morning of January 23, in sub-zero conditions, roughly 75 demonstrators with shields and reinforced banners blocked the intersection of Minnehaha and Federal Drive, immediately adjacent to the Bishop Henry Whipple building, which ICE has been using as their base of operations in the Twin Cities. At the same time, someone left an RV trailer blocking Airport Service Road near the north end of Federal Drive. This completely blocked two of the three means of ingress and egress to and from the Whipple building.
Just went to a "game night" that's really casual and people have plenty of time to talk about their lives, which is great and I love it and it's what I'm looking for. But then they talk about their lives. And they talk about their children, and how old they are and what they've been doing, and they talk about something silly that happened 13 years ago while they were dating and falling in love, and they talk about the time one of them had a new baby to deal with back in the day... and I just want to curl up and die.
UK PM Keir Starmer: what President Trump had said was "insulting and frankly appalling" bbc.co.uk/news/live/cdxjjwjvkk… Prince Harry says sacrifices by Nato troops in Afghanistan deserve 'respect' after Trump comments
Veterans and bereaved families call the comments "very disrespectful" and "soul-destroying", as Keir Starmer says: "I’m not surprised they’ve cause such hurt."
Australian troops were also there. Although we are not an offical part of NATO we stood with the US we were even side by side with them in the rice fields and jungles of Viet Nam while Trump had bone spurs.
24 January 1943 | A French Jewish girl, Doris Mireille Lewy, was born in Toulouse.
She arrived at #Auschwitz on 1 May 1944 in a transport of 1,004 Jews deported from Drancy. She was among 865 of them murdered after selection in gas chambers. ---
Using only estimates based on the examination of the existing incomplete documentation, it can only be acknowledged that there were around 232,000 children a...
Don't fucking follow me, then send a private mention that you want $500. I don't give two shits if you are "gaza-verified" or not. I don't know you. If anyone gets $500 it's the fucking tax assessor. Absolutely stop hitting us up in private mentions.
this is honestly one of the most frustrating parts about this for me. I really, really want to send $$ to various folk who need it, especially gaza, especially bail funds and legal funds, etc, but there is SO MUCH fucking fraud and grift that it makes it difficult.
Its like what happened in tx a few years ago when they said people could get rental assistance from that state website, then almost nobody got any funds because "the website was overloaded" (by fake accounts).
I just spent the last hour+ with mom fighting to reinstall both the upper *and* the lower front sliding windows, because her partner without listening to us telling him to *not* play with the upper window, he did it anyhow and nocked it out of the track into the front yard witch caused the lower inner window to come out of it's track as well. Yes, we knew their was smoke from the fireplace, but when we *tell* you to *not* do a thing? Please don't do said thing, moron! Note, the tips of my fingers are still unthawing, yes, I had gloves on for those who are about to ask if I had gloves on. We got the windows reinstalled, but 30 year old windows are a pain in the ass to reinstall when the frames shot all to hell, in case anyone cared to know.
FastSM is now at a point where I now use it as my primary Mastodon client. It's remarkable how mature this application has gotten in such a short time. Has it really only been around for two weeks?
"Can you catch COVID on top of COVID? A doctor explains why it is, unfortunately, a possible scenario and what you can do to protect yourself"
"Many people assume that having long COVID means they’re still ‘immune’ to getting the virus again. But sadly, this isn’t the case."
"COVID is still with us and it continues to evolve. So, it’s worth continuing some of those protective habits, like testing if you feel unwell, wearing a mask in busy indoor spaces and keeping up with vaccinations."
I have begun asking youtube channels if they use AI. If they say that they use AI I block the channel if they refuse to say if they use AI I block the channel. AI is not a feature. It is an abomination.

As they rolled out yet another package of bills aimed at increasing affordable housing, Gov. Jared Polis and Democratic lawmakers acknowledged the growing frustration of Coloradans who believe they will never be able to afford a home here.

iPhone 17 series is the best iPhone line-up in years.
Finally, high refresh displays, a nice camera, especially the front with the square sensor, and more storage and RAM for the base. (it is the best phone on the market)
And the Pro gets even more pro-er with better thermals and a newer lens for photography/videography. And the industrial look and the colours have grown on me.
From my upgraded home lab, I have piles of SODIMM DDR4. And I had so many parts, I now have 2 "spare parts" desktops and 2 more coming, in addition to my gaming PC.
Things are so expensive now, I am wondering if I should find a charity instead of selling them.

Japanese folklore describes a group of self-secluded beings that lived deep in the mountains. These beings had large noses, pinkish skin (that is often depicted as red), wore a small box strapped to their heads, gave scrolls to apprentices upon training completion and played tricks on people. The Japanese called these beings "Tengu," but evidence points to them likely being a sect of Jews who landed on the Japanese islands and setup a small, isolated community there.
Jews have been nomadic people throughout history. Having been ejected from over 109 countries, over 1,030 times in just the last 2,000 years. It would not be unfathomable that a group of Jews would sail looking for a new home and land in Japan.
Jewish Talmud, Moed Kattan 17a: "If a Jew is tempted to do evil, he should go to a city where he is not known and do the evil there."

Does anyone have a recommendation for an edition of Augustine's "Confessions" to pick up? I've tried an audiobook version twice now, and I think I'm going to have to actually read it. Hard copy or digital book, doesn't matter to me.
