A fox caught onto my day habits of when I free range Apparently watched me for months until he made his move, because hes taken 2 before Took 3 birds at once including my most precious, the silkies When I free range, Id stay out there with them from sunrise to 12ish Then check them every 20 mins or so after that until I put them up But now they are never unsupervised ever again.
I got in trouble with my landlady for shooting at it the first time lol Someone called the cops. She didnt care but had to tell me I can't do that again
I really loved those little goofs I miss giving them their belly rubs before bed every night
I love foxes but I would just shoot them. You haven't the time or energy to be craftier than them 24/7. Either you live in a concrete fortress or they have to die and like I said you know how much I like my foxes here.
They are usually too far away and it happens so fast Don't think I haven't tried I've had several encounters with it but by the time I had to react, they were way up the driveway Which is about 300 steps away
Considered it, I heard some people have "guard geese" But i don't really know how that works They are loud and chase things off but wouldn't a fox just grab that too? Tell me cause I'll start looking for one 🤔
Oh get over yourself. It’s a cat. Boo hoo. They breed like rabbits and carry diseases and parasites. So what he shot one that wasn’t suited to be a house pet. Do you know how many get euthanized in animal shelters everyday for exactly that reason?
I told a horse person recently that if I get enough land, I wouldn't mind just having a horse friend out in the field. I was told that there are plenty of older horses that aren't good to ride or work anymore, so they're basically free to adopt if you ask around. Might be free donkeys too.

"Twice-failed Presidential candidate Kamala Harris will hit the trail again at home and abroad this fall, not to campaign (officially) but to sell her upcoming memoir and speak to supporters in liberal cities across the nation.

If you want to attend and potentially meet Kamala Harris, tickets will be available here.

This is built on FEP-044f (Consent-respecting quote posts, codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src…), which requires the quoted account to provide a stamp proving that they approved the quote. If there is no such stamp (or it has been invalidated), then Mastodon (and other software supporting the FEP) will not display the quote. If the quoted account does not support the FEP, no stamps will be issued, and the quote will not be displayed either, only the link (as before).
And now thanks to @chaosexanima I can show you how the retractation works: - you get a notification when someone quotes you - on their post, you have a new menu to remove their quote of your post - you confirm, and your quote is removed and shown as having been retracted - the quote is no longer displayed on the original post

A fascism preparedness plan should look something like:
1. Vote blue up and down the ballot, and convince others to do so too. The best-case is preempting fascism from fully taking hold, and that means electing the viable opposition party regardless of how flawed you find them.
2. Recognize that point 1 is very likely insufficient. To my knowledge, there has never been the case of voting out authoritarians once they reach the stage of concentration camps and military in the streets.
3. Plan for the worst. Assume that in four years Trump (or successor) is in office and the legislature and courts are impotent. Do you escape? Resist? Revolt? What do you need to make that effective? Now is the time to get them in place. Before it's too late.
We may be passed the point of no return. Judges and opposition leaders are being arrested for resisting unconstitutional policies. The media and courts are bought by billionaires. The military is patrolling the streets of the capitol.
We are past the point of return. The billionaires who have long sought the goal, have seized control of America’s institutions and are dismantling or repurposing them to suit their needs
The most important thing is to communicate this point and that nobody is coming to save us. Not the court, not the law. We are going to have to do it.
And we have to be having conversations with everyone around us how to act collectively to the situation…
I’ve certainly expressed what I think has to happen: that we assert control over our local governments as much as we humanly can, and we use our local governments to support us. A municipality has considerable financial capacity and every community member should understand to make use of it.
@GhostOnTheHalfShell "In 1933, German conservatives thought they could control Hitler. Two years later, they were being executed in their own homes. I spent weeks researching this question, desperately looking for counter-examples, for hope, for any time in history where people successfully stopped fascists after they started winning elections. ... Once fascists win power democratically, they have never been removed democratically. Not once. Ever." ~ medium.com/@carmitage/i-resear…
I researched every Democratic attempt to stop fascism in history. the success rate after fascists were elected was 0%.
Once they win elections, it’s already too late.
In 1933, German conservatives …
@mensrea @GhostOnTheHalfShell This passage in this piece really stood out for me: “The statistics are brutal. Fascist takeovers prevented after winning power democratically: zero. Average length of fascist rule once established: 31 years. Fascist regimes removed by voting: zero. Fascist regimes removed by asking nicely: zero. Most were removed by war or military coups, and tens of millions died in the process.” Ugh.
@SharonCrockett @mensrea @GhostOnTheHalfShell One other difference -- how many of these fascist regimes successfully transferred power? Hitler and Mussolini both (arguably) outlived their regimes. Spain started restoring democracy days after Franco's death. The average is 30 years because these people all took power in their 40s. Trump is nearly 80. The man is certainly not going to live another 30 years. We will have an opportunity for change far sooner. Be ready for it.
@admin @SharonCrockett @mensrea @GhostOnTheHalfShell Pretty sure Leonard Leo has an understudy waiting in the wings. Musk and Vance both seem eager for the role. I suspect Vance may be behind the "blame Musk" narrative for that reason.
@jhavok @admin @SharonCrockett @mensrea If you are referring to the presidency, Elon Musk can’t. he wasn’t born in the US. JD Vance is an avatar of another member of the PayPal mafia Peter Thiel, who is himself in eligible for presidency he also is a naturalized citizen.
Vance is Thiel’s avatar. It will allow him unless Vance gets ideas if he becomes POTUS.
The NRx and 2025 crowd desire to return to the world of the 13th/16th centuries. With them as nobility.
@jhavok @GhostOnTheHalfShell @SharonCrockett @mensrea None of them have the cult of personality of Trump...I'm sure plenty will *try* to be his replacement, but I don't see MAGA uniting around any of them, certainly not right away.
And yeah I think malleability is a big part of it too. Trump promises everything to everyone because he doesn't really give a shit about the result as long as he gets paid. Anyone with an actual ideology or purpose is going to have too many enemies, even within the GOP.
[Warning; I’m a non-United-Statesian making comments as an outsider.] There’s probably a few steps before Step 1, but it seems too late for the United States: improve the democratic processes, e.g. reduce gerrymandering, remove first-post-the-post voting, get rid of that weird electoral college system. I don’t advocate violent revolution but is it even possible to stop authoritarianism by voting, when the voting happens within a system that isn’t very democratic?

I’m trying to figure out which CD player is this, it’s on an episode of Dekaranger, and it was so well placed that I’m sure it’s an ad google said it’s a Brookstone SLCDv2.0, but the images don’t seem right, it’s something else, and I’m dying to know what it is lol
I like that one a lot! I think it does a really great job playing with police procedural tropes while remixing a lot of standard sentai tropes and does some fun tributes to older tokusatsu shows.
@snowmanghost yeah that’s part of the fun! that there are such different ones tbf i chose ohger bc of rita? for me shows live or die on the female cast, so, seems interesting! i like Umeko and Jasmine, even if they are very typical
If Gozyuger wasn't already half over I'd say catch up and watch weekly! It's a great experience. Bit much to ask at this point, though.
I wouldn't say never on the red ranger, though. There is a curious example in one show already (but that's a major spoiler for that particular show) and, now that they've experimented with making the "main character" something other than red, there seems to be discussion among the producers on doing a female red sometime in the future.
@snowmanghost I’m still halfway on dekaranger but while dekared has a mystique to him, i wouldn’t call him the main character, the show is very balanced on that tbh
@snowmanghost i know you said it’s a spoiler but there are 50 of these things so i can’t guess, nor will i watch all of them, so just tell me which one and it will go to the backlog
The red ranger is replaced temporarily by a young woman who is the true heir to the title; for the entire show the male one has been acting as a decoy.
Dekaranger benefits from not really having much of a "plot", in that regard. Red focus does seem to increase as you get closer to the modern day, although thankfully most shows still balance individual episode focus pretty well.
@snowmanghost yeah it’s a very “monster of the week” show, even if something happens to shake the status quo a bit (dekamaster, dekabreak, new robots), the overall characters remain more or less static
Ukraine’s celebrated startup defense model has reached its limits. While effective for rapid, low-complexity production early in the war, it has proven incapable of scaling or competing against a centralized, industrial-scale warfare.
A zoo of incompatible drones and systems lacks the integration, quality control, and strategic focus needed for long-term conflict.
Artisanal workshops cannot match state-directed production in volume, resilience, or technological depth.
For a few years now, Western observers have breathlessly praised Ukraine’s successes in defense innovation, from AI to drones to decentralization and an
Attention Canadians, French people, and anyone outside the United States: Microsoft says your country's data protection laws are void and null if the US government says so. Microsoft will turn over any and all information about you to the US government at that government's request no matter what your country's laws say. Time to stop using Microsoft if you value your own privacy and your nation's sovereignty.
And hey, fellow Americans: time for you to stop using Microsoft, too, and start putting your data overseas in the servers of non-American countries. The only way any of us are going to protect our privacy is to have as little to do with our own country as is possible, and in the digital realm, there's actually a lot we can do. My Mastodon server is not the US. My personal server and email is not in the US. My company email is not in the US. I don't use Google or Meta at all, and the only thing I "use" Microsoft for is Visual Studio, which I'm even moving away from now that I'm getting out of programming for good.
Take back your privacy by boycotting the companies willing to spy on you, either for their own profit or for the corrupt, fascist American government.
