When I was a young child, my grandfather in Tipton, Iowa died of a sudden stroke, we lived in Seattle, took a train from Seattle to Davenport Iowa, I'll never forget the views from the observation car at night going through desert. Living in the City, I never knew there were so many stars! And the sheer beauty of the desert, another environment I had never previously experienced. And I remember the clacking of the rails, in those days they weren't all welded together, so hypnotically soothing. While I feel sorry for my father losing his father, I never knew my Grandfather, I never met him while he was alive. Now both my parents are gone, but this is, in spite of my Grandfather's death, still a fond memory.

The distance between what is said and what is considered true has become an abyss. The loss of objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous threat. The death of truth is the ultimate triumph of evil.

Here's why your #boosts matter so much on the #Fediverse:
There is no algorithm here. Nothing is going to insert #content into your #timeline that an algorithm thinks you might be interested in.

Your timeline consists solely of the content from the people you #follow, and the content they #boost.

No boosts and you will never find out about that cool artist that started posting their artwork. You will never find out about the photographer that just joined a Pixelfed instance and is sharing their amazing photos.

Likes don't show up in the timelines of the accounts that follow you.

The only way for people to find new and cool content and accounts to follow is by you and I #boosting their content.

"One of America’s biggest villains received an epic beating on Fox News today when she tried to defend the indefensible and insulted her interviewer.

Randi Weingarten, the President of the American Federation of Teachers, is the chief proponent of trapping everyone in failing public schools and refusing to hold crooked school authority figures accountable.

She was also arguably the loudest advocate for shutting down schools during the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused irreparable harm to the cognitive development of many children across the country.

Weingarten was invited on Fox News’s “The Story with Martha MacCallum” to discuss the ongoing public school failures and pornographic books prevalent throughout school libraries.

Things got heated quickly when MacCallum lit up Weingarten for slamming school choice and for saying we should throw more money at the problem.

“So, if we can find other areas around the country where the proficiency levels are also ABYSMAL and should be embarrassing to every education organization, then we can start making assessments and say it’s because of (school) choice or money,” MacCallum said. “We know that money does not equate to a better outcome.”

MacCallum cited an example from New Jersey that proves her astute point. Upon hearing this, Weingarten lost her patience and attempted to patronize the Fox News anchor.

“Martha, Martha, sweetheart,” she began before an angry MacCallum cut her off.

“Don’t call me sweetheart!” MacCallum fired back."

Nothing has changed since the 1980's when they knew that the public schools in the USA were not educating our children.

From "A Nation At Risk," April 1983:

If an unfriendly foreign power had attempted to impose on America the mediocre educational performance that exists today, we might well have viewed it as an act of war. As it stands, we have
allowed this to happen to ourselves. We have even squandered the gains in student ...

Why do I hate the left and pedophiles with a passion?

My ex, Katie, the one who lied to the police and framed me for assault, was sleeping with her 15 year old daughter and her 18 year old boyfriend behind my back, IN MY HOUSE while I was at work.

I had NO CLUE this 18 year old guy even existed, until I set up a camera in my hallway. All three entered her daughter's bedroom, came out 30 minutes later, and all went into the bathroom together and turned on the shower.

I broke up with her and threatened to turn them all in to the police, just hours before she snuck up on my at my computer chair and started beating the shit out of me while she was moving out (I kicked her out).

I was beaten unconscious, and when I woke up, police were putting me in handcuffs, and they just let her go free, even though she was drunk, too, and I asked to press charges.

In court, she got her friends that hung out with us at the bar earlier, say they were at my house and saw me hit her first, but they were NOT even there, at all, ever.

My public defender recommended I take the plea deal of NO jail time, just 1 year of probation, so I did. I never wanted to see her again, even in a trial.

To this day, the only legal trouble I've ever been in, was because of her and her lies. She ruined my life.

Believe all women, I guess.

#MeToo

"There is another reason also why the soul has traveled safely in this obscurity; it has suffered: for the way of suffering is safer, and also more profitable, than that of rejoicing and of action. In suffering God gives strength, but in action and in joy the soul does but show its own weakness and imperfections. And in suffering, the soul practices and acquires virtue, and becomes pure, wiser, and more cautious."

—St. John of the Cross

Al-Qassam Executes Several Successful Attacks


Hamas’ armed wing, the al-Qassam Brigades, said Sunday that its Resistance fighters executed a complex ambush, dubbed “Breaking the Sword”, against occupation forces east of Beit Hanoun in northern Gaza on Sunday.

In detail, al-Qassam stated that its fighters targeted a Zionist military Storm vehicle, used by the Combat Intelligence Battalion of the Gaza Division, with an anti-tank shell, inflicting confirmed casualties.

When Zionist reinforcements arrived for rescue, they were ambushed with an anti-personnel explosive, leaving troops dead and wounded.

Al-Qassam also confirmed targeting a newly established Zionist military position in the ambush area with four RPG shells, followed by mortar fire, and the group’s military media released footage showing the attack on invading occupation vehicles near the al-Tuffah neighborhood east of Gaza City.

“Breaking the Sword” ambush came yesterday, when the al-Qassam Brigades announced the execution of a complex ambush in the al-Tuffah neighborhood east of Gaza City, where a Zionist force was left with casualties, including dead and wounded.

Zionist media acknowledged the killing of one occupation soldier and the injury of four others in a “serious incident” in the Gaza Strip.

The KAN channel pointed out that the “incident” in northern Gaza took place near the location visited by Zionist Prime Minister Netanyahu and Security Minister Israel Katz last week.

Occupationmedia cited former intelligence officer Michael Milstein as saying that “what reinforces Hamas’s resilience is its deep ideological conviction, which enables it to persevere to the very end.”

“Hamas fighters are prepared to fight to the last breath,” he indicated.

For its part, al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement, published footage documenting its fighters seizing two military drones while they were carrying out reconnaissance missions in the skies over Gaza City.

This comes as the occupation continues to ramp up its assault on Gaza, displacing and killing tens of thousands of people and exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in the enclave.

Zionist media reported a serious security incident in northern Gaza on Monday, where an explosion in Beit Hanoun left three soldiers injured.

According to reports, the soldiers were wounded by an explosive device that detonated during a military operation in the area. Rescue aircraft were dispatched to evacuate the injured personnel from the scene.

Explosion injures Zionist soldiers in Beit Hanoun


The incident occurred in Beit Hanoun, located in the northern part of the Gaza Strip, an area that has seen repeated confrontations throughout the ongoing war.

Occupation media confirmed that three soldiers sustained injuries from the blast, which marks one of the latest developments in the volatile region.

Emergency response units reportedly arrived quickly, and the injured soldiers were evacuated for treatment via military aircraft.

Christ.

It has become necessary that I clarify: I continue to believe trans women are women.

And they really need to be left alone, not kicked about and vilified in some disgusting political game of screw the convenient and defenceless minority.

The PM of the UK can go fuck himself.

Really.

Piss off Starmer. You have been a terrible disappointment from modest expectations.

And UK labour, you are a pathetic spineless bunch too.

You’ve not moved the needle on working class quality of life, let alone protected society’s most vulnerable.

What are you actually for?

This is not a disappointment I will tolerate.

Labour's great betrayal has been mind-boggling, looking at it from across the pond. And a betrayal it is: this isn't the Tories providing exactly the level of gormless shite they promised, this is a party which ostensibly supports the lower classes (it's right there in the name, the labour class) taking their cues from the 55 Tufton Street folks, then blaming trans folks for society's ills as a dodge.

And while it's not like there weren't signs before that Starmer was a craven opportunist, he's certainly gone to no end in proving that assessment to be utterly true. A Tory through and through, with veins of UKIP, wrapped in a Labour flag.

well, bad news and good news. this albrecht chuck is still running out too much. must have been crashed at some point so i'll have to return it. i thought maybe a new shank would fix it but nah the chuck body itself is actually running out so i know it's bent.

good news is the jacobs chuck is decent, and the body is running true so i'll probably get some new jaws for it and it should be even better. it's usable now but the jaws are a bit worn.

Nous le savons et le disons depuis toujours ; la vérité fait enfin surface, de la bouche même de Ronen Bar : le #ShinBet, ultra-équipé et ultra-compétent, a parfaitement effectué son travail de surveillance et de prévision de l’assaut du 07-10, et en parfaitement informé l’exécutif dans la nuit du 6 au #7octobre, deux heures avant l’attaque.
Mais #Netanyahu a délibérément laissé se produire l’assaut durant plusieurs heures sans réagir.
Pourquoi ? Parce que, pour dévaster #Gaza, la dépeupler et l’intégrer au Grand Israël rêvé de longue date, il avait besoin d’un sésame « d’autodéfense » lui donnant un chèque en blanc aux yeux de l’opinion publique israélienne et de la communauté internationale. Dont acte.

Ele tb hospeda o Trilux⸱org, meu blog pessoal.

Também é base do site do @programadorreal - que chegou a dar palestra sobre o Axe, de tanto que gostou.

É leve, barato de hospedar, e aprendi muito criando ele. E é open source!

O Lerama, diretório de blogs pessoais brasileiros, ganhou uma grande atualização, cheia de recursos, pelas mãos do Renan Altendorf.

A maior novidade é o novo feed geral (RSS, JSON), que engloba todos os posts de todos os blogs cadastrados.

O feed geral é útil mesmo a quem não acompanha sites/blogs por feeds. É que ele viabiliza algumas automações bacanas, como os novos perfis do Lerama no Bluesky e no Mastodon: sempre que um post novo sai, esses perfis divulgam o link.

O Lerama v2 tem um visual novo, com filtro por blog e mecanismo de busca. Do nosso lado, na administração, o painel ficou mais completo, com novas opções de edição que, antes, só eram possíveis mexendo direto no servidor.

Criado para fomentar os blogs no Brasil, o Lerama já conta com 27 blogs pessoais. Tem um? Sugira-o enviando um e-mail para ghedin@manualdousuario.net.

O código-fonte do Lerama v2 é licenciado pela GPLv3 e está disponível neste repositório.
