"If living unfreely but comfortably is something you’re willing to accept, and I think many of us are, it’s the human nature, you can get up every day, you can go to work, you can collect your large paycheck for relatively little work against the public interest, and go to sleep at night after watching your shows. But if you realize that’s the world that you helped create, and it’s going to get worse with the next generation, and the next generation, who extend the capabilities of this sort of architecture of oppression, you realize that you might be willing to accept any risk, and it doesn’t matter what the outcome is, so long as the public gets to make their own decisions about how that’s applied."

so i feel like every #musician and music lover on the #fedi at least knows @etherdiver , right? somehow, in between spotlighting so many other artists every single week with his Other People's Music #opm posts, we manages to make his own tunes and he manages to keep getting better at his craft. tonight he released what is likely his best album yet. you can still hear his compositional style, particularly in the way he phrases melodies, but its better. hes grown sharper, he's honed his craft. put it on this week's #bandcampfriday list! etherdiver.bandcamp.com/album/…
Presuming you can only have 2 dolls that are just a couple dollars more instead of 30 dolls that were a couple dollars less than those 2 future dolls means you will have about 90% less money in the soon-to-begin golden age. Or you will have the same amount of money in this golden age but have to spend most of it on survival stuff. Make....America....Wealthy....Again!
I say put that fucker on the teevee more. It's instructive for us and embarrassing for him because he can't help revealing he knows nothing about anything. "They treated us very unfairly, very unfairly. We will make them pay and Make....America....Great....Again."
@DrFell he's stepped far away from ego problem into the realm of traitor many years ago. It's correct to think it was what the OSS needed. We've been living under the directive to merge with the Soviet system for over a century.

Imagine a publishing house with the mission of making knowledge and insights available to everybody for free, while ensuring high standards.
Well, the three universities of Berlin and the Charité have now joined forces to do just that.
They founded "Berlin Universities Publishing". Neither authors not readers pay. The pdf of books are freely available under a Creative Commons licence.
It's called "Diamond Open Access". They're just starting up. Much more to come.
In June, a beautifully made book will come out at "Berlin Universities Publishing", with contributions on: Alexander von Humboldt, perspectives for the Anthropocene - with a longish contribution from me about a certain moment in Humboldt's life, architectural theory and the history of Earth system science. The book's pdf will be free - but if you wish, you can also buy a softcover or hardcover version for the bookshelf. I just went through the proofs. It'll be an interesting read!

NDFP Denounces US Imperialism’s Growing Web of War
US-led military partnerships between PH, Japan and New Zealand only deepens imperialist control
The National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) strongly opposes the growing web of war provocations being spun by US imperialism across the Asia Pacific. The recent visit of Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba to the Philippines—following the trilateral military framework forged last year between the United States, Japan, and the Marcos Jr. regime—marks another thread in this dangerous imperialist design. The so-called “Strengthened Strategic Partnership” is not about mutual security, but about tightening a US-led military net aimed at ensnaring China in an inter-imperialist conflict. Washington spins this web of alliances and agreements, hoping China will fall into its trap of war provocations—but it is the Filipino people who will ultimately be sacrificed as collateral damage in a war that does not serve their interest.
For decades, the US has manipulated regional tensions to maintain its military dominance in East and Southeast Asia, and today’s developments are a continuation of that imperialist legacy. Japan, under the pretext of “collective self-defense” and “regional peace”, has systematically reversed its post-World War II pacifist constitution, rearmed its military, and expanded its reach across the region at the behest of Washington. Japan’s increasing involvement in military pacts, including this trilateral agreement with the Philippines and the US, does not serve the interests of the Filipino people, but the strategic ambitions of the US to encircle and contain China.
The Marcos Jr. regime, a willing accomplice to US imperialist dictates, is shamelessly dragging the Filipino people into this growing web of war provocations. Most recently, the regime has moved to finalize a Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) with New Zealand, set to be signed on April 30. Like the existing VFA with the United States, this new agreement with New Zealand will allow their troops to enter, stay, and operate within the Philippines under the pretense of joint exercises, humanitarian missions, and disaster response. But in reality, it is meant to provide a formal excuse for permanent foreign military presence serving the broader US strategy of military encirclement in Asia. This is not an act of national defense, but clear example of subservience to US imperialist warmongering. The Philippines is once again being turned into a staging platform for foreign intervention and a pawn in the inter-imperialist rivalry between US and China.
Though portrayed as mutually exclusive thus bilateral, these military alliances and so-called security cooperation agreements are part of a coordinated framework to expand and consolidate US military presence in the region—a strategy vital to the US pivot to Asia and its containment policy against China. From Japan and New Zealand, Australia to South Korea and the Philippines, the US is systematically repurposing its post-WWII military alliances to maintain its hegemony amid its ongoing strategic decline.
This expanding network of military partnerships undermines national sovereignty, escalates the risk of conflict, and makes the Philippines a frontline pawn in a brewing inter-imperialist confrontation. It serves neither peace nor development. The Filipino people must oppose these unequal military treaties and reaffirm our national independence and right to chart our own course free from foreign domination and imperialist subjugation.
As the US lays the groundwork for war, the Filipino people wage their own war of liberation. In the countryside, the revolutionary movement steadily advances the people’s democratic revolution, fighting for genuine land reform, national industrialization, and a truly sovereign and democratic society. This path to just and lasting peace entails the overthrow of the semicolonial and semifeudal system and the dismantling of imperialist control over our land, our seas, and our future.
Down with US imperialist war alliances! Scrap the Visiting Forces Agreements! Victory to the people’s democratic revolution!
"37. "Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38. Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you." " (Luke 6:37-38 NKJV)
The world is realigning. Prepare yourself. The enemies you have been sold bear a new and sober reckoning. Consider the lies. Consider the liars. Consider their motives. They wash out ugly. Now. Think for yourself. Forgot the programming. Think. Watch. Observe. It will become more clear. Stand alone if you must. Think for yourself.
President Trump publicly promoting the first 100 days is brilliant. He sets a marker. He gathers attention. Show man. Calendar versus accomplishment. Reset the critics. Use them. Expose them. The past is a great comparison. Bold. Unflinching. Face the detractors. Lessen them. How? FACTS. NOTHING BUT FACTS.
Sanity and reason versus acceptance. Such a bad person if you are not accepting. Lessened is your belief. The acceptance must be more important. Don’t be disagreeable. Division. The real play. Make sure the demand is unacceptable. Fight. The plan. Repeat. No winner. Perfect.
I'm glad the Democraps hate Trump. If they liked him, it would mean they like his policies, and the Democraps are on the wrong side of nearly everything.

Liberals think they deserve praise for saying "disabled people shouldn't be killed" when their solution is to just contain and repress us. I only care about our full inclusion in society.
They believe in meritocracy, rewarding people who do more work. That's punishing people for being disabled.

Cranes are built to handle demanding tasks, but their effectiveness hinges on the components inside them. When a part breaks, the replacement you select can make or break your crane’s reliability and longevity.
Cranes are built to handle demanding tasks, but their effectiveness hinges on the components inside them. When a part breaks, the replacement you select can make or break your crane’s reliability and longevity.
Let’s explore why top-quality parts are crucial for crane efficiency, safety, and extended service life.
Premium Parts vs. Budget Parts: The Critical Divide
A low-cost crane part might seem interchangeable with a high-end one—same fit, similar look. But the differences run deep.
Key distinctions include:
Material Strength: Cheap parts often use inferior materials that wear out faster under heavy workloads.
Manufacturing Accuracy: High-quality parts are crafted to precise specifications. Even slight inaccuracies in budget parts can cause vibrations, misalignment, or breakdowns.
Industry Standards: A trusted crane parts supplier provides components that meet rigorous safety and performance certifications. Low-grade parts often skip these checks.
Opting for inferior parts introduces risks that are unacceptable in high-risk lifting operations.
The Impact of Part Quality on Crane Operations
Component quality shapes how a crane performs day-to-day:
Load Stability: Subpar parts—like bearings, hoists, or brakes—can lead to unstable load handling, causing jerky motions or load sway that compromises precision and safety.
Minimized Downtime: Low-quality parts are prone to frequent failures, resulting in costly repairs and lost productivity. Quality crane parts ensure reliable, uninterrupted operation.
Operational Efficiency: Poorly crafted components increase friction, forcing cranes to consume more energy. This drives up costs and stresses mechanical systems.
The Long-Term Effect on Crane Longevity
Choosing low-quality parts doesn’t just disrupt short-term performance—it accelerates your crane’s decline.
While wear is inevitable, inferior components worsen damage to other systems. A substandard gear, for instance, can strain the motor, while a defective seal might allow debris to compromise hydraulics. These interconnected failures increase maintenance expenses and shorten your crane’s usable life.
Partnering with a Reliable Crane Parts Supplier
A reputable crane parts supplier is essential for sourcing quality crane parts. Beyond selling components, they offer expertise to match parts to your crane’s specific needs, providing OEM or premium aftermarket options with reliable support.
When evaluating suppliers, look for:
Clear sourcing transparency
Detailed technical documentation
Prompt, accurate fulfillment
Parts that meet or surpass industry standards
Avoid the cheapest options. A supplier committed to quality ensures your crane remains dependable.
When to Replace or Upgrade Parts
If your crane’s efficiency is dropping, check these critical components:
Wire ropes and load chains
Brake systems and linings
Gears and bearings
Hydraulic seals and fittings
Electrical contacts and relays
Frequent part failures often indicate a quality issue. Switching to superior components can eliminate recurring problems and improve reliability.
Closing Takeaway
A crane’s failure is rarely sudden—it’s the result of gradual part degradation. Prioritizing quality Manitowoc crane parts is crucial for safety, efficiency, and equipment durability. A trusted crane parts supplier delivers components that keep your crane at its best.
Saving on parts may seem cost-effective upfront, but the long-term risks outweigh the savings. In crane operations, quality is everything.

Neanderthal vs homo sapiens skull. They had larger brains than we. And they were possibly smarter.
Here are some things they could do: * Neanderthals created sophisticated stone tools, including hand axes, scrapers, and spear points. They used wooden spears to hunt large animals like mammoths and bison. They even made glue from birch bark to attach stone tools to wooden shafts. * Neanderthals were skilled hunters who could take down large game. They worked together in groups to ambush and kill prey. They had the strength and precision to butcher animals for meat, hides, and bones. * Neanderthals could make and maintain fire, using it for warmth, cooking, and protection from predators. Fire also helped them process food, making it easier to digest. * While some lived in caves, Neanderthals also built shelters from wood and animal hides. They adapted to harsh Ice Age climates by making protective dwellings. * They used animal hides to make warm clothing, possibly by sewing with bone needles. This helped them survive in cold environments. * While we don’t know exactly what their language sounded like, Neanderthals had the physical ability to speak. Their brains had regions associated with speech and language, similar to modern humans. * Neanderthals buried their dead with care, sometimes including grave goods like tools or flowers. This suggests they had rituals and possibly believed in an afterlife. * Neanderthals created jewelry from bones, shells, and animal teeth. They painted in caves, using red ochre and black pigments. This suggests they had symbolic thinking and some form of culture. * Fossil evidence shows Neanderthals cared for group members who had serious injuries or disabilities. Some survived for years despite severe wounds, suggesting social support. * Neanderthals and Homo sapiens interbred when they met in Europe and Asia. Today, most non-African humans have about 1–2% Neanderthal DNA. * Bonus: They Were Stronger Than Us. Neanderthals had stockier builds, thicker bones, and stronger muscles. Their grip strength and endurance were far greater than ours. In short, Neanderthals weren’t just “cavemen”—they were intelligent, adaptable, and resourceful humans.
Ever since the first Neanderthal genome was sequenced roughly 15 years ago, we have gotten hints about what Neanderthals may have looked like. For example,...
April 30, 2025 @ 22:10 Good evening family & friends❣️ It was a lovely day today, though not as busy as I'd anticipated since J&E didn't come...they're coming tomorrow instead which is fine with me and actually I used the time wisely: I had a nap hahaha! I didn't INTEND to have a nap but, as usual, it just happened, right where I sat! But I had a very busy evening, though unfruitful, painful, and frustrating - it was still busy. Maisie got her first doses of her meds tonight. I feed her by hand since she still bolts her food from her constant starvation mode before she was rescued, she needs to use a special dish to slow her down. But since she eats homemade food now and it is difficult to wash, it is easier just to feed her one bite at a time on a spoon. And we both enjoy it. And hiding a pill in a spoonful of good mushy food gets it down easily. I made them something special tonight: salmon, eggs, and pasta! Figured I'd do something simple yet tasty for the next few meals. Anyway, enough of that... Also of course worked on this site, not as much on ChiaChow but tomorrow I plan to work on my new page over there quite a bit. So I'm going to turn in now and I will see you next month, sleep tight❣️🙏🥱🌛💤
Yesterday Maisie woke up with a swollen eye. She'd also had a "light" cough for a couple of weeks but nothing I considered worrisome. Still it was time to take her to the vet! See the captions with the photos below...
