"Where once the bold yellow letters of Black Lives Matter shone brightly on the asphalt of 16th Street in the US capital, there are now SUVs. The lettering was removed in March after Republicans in Congress threatened to cut off federal funding to Washington."

"According to the non-profit Mapping Police Violence project, the police killed at least 1,260 people in the US in 2024 — more than in any year over the past decade. The project says that in the US Black people are 2.8 times more likely to be killed by police than white people."

Foo Fighters - The Pretender


Watch the official music video for "The Pretender" by Foo Fighters

Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend
Keep you in the dark
And so it all began

Send in your skeletons
Sing as their bones go marching in, again
The need you buried deep
The secrets that you keep are ever ready
Are you ready?
I'm finished making sense
Done pleading ignorance
That whole defense

Spinning infinity, boy
The wheel is spinning me
It's never-ending, never-ending
Same old story

What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say that I'll never surrender?

In time our soul untold
I'm just another soul for sale, oh well
The page is out of print
We are not permanent
We're temporary, temporary
Same old story

What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say that I'll never surrender?
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say that I'll never surrender?

I'm the voice inside your head
You refuse to hear
I'm the face that you have to face
Mirrored in your stare
I'm what's left, I'm what's right
I'm the enemy
I'm the hand that will take you down
Bring you to your knees

So who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?

Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend

What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say that I'll never surrender?

What if I say I'm not like the others?
(Keep you in the dark)
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
(You know they all pretend)
You're the pretender
(Who dares)
What if I say I will never surrender?

What if I say I'm not like the others?
(Keep you in the dark)
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
(You know they all pretend)
You're the pretender
(Who dares)
What if I say I will never surrender?

So who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?

Britney Spears, Iggy Azalea - Pretty Girls (Official Video)


Pretty Girls by Britney Spears & Iggy Azalea

All around the world, pretty girls
Wipe the floor with all the boys
Pour the drinks, bring the noise (It's Iggy-Iggs!)
We're just so pretty!
All around the world, pretty girls
Jump the line, to the front
Do what we like, get what we want (Where you at, Brit?)
We're just so pretty!

Hey, don't you know that it's always the same?
From Australia 'round to LA
You can betcha', wherever the girls go, boys follow
We be keeping them up on their toes
They can laugh, but they don't get the jokes
Just you watch, they're so predictable
(Some things don't change)

(The girls roll up)
Windows roll down
(Eyes on us)
Jaws on the ground
(Watch them go)
It's just so funny
(Like bees to the honey!)

All around the world, pretty girls
Wipe the floor with all the boys
Pour the drinks, bring the noise
We're just so pretty!
All around the world, pretty girls
Jump the line, to the front
Do what we like, get what we want
We're just so pretty!

Tell me, is it true that these men are from Mars?
Is that why they be acting bizarre?
Every time I walk out of my house it's like, "hey, baby!"
They don't see me rolling my eyes
They buzzing around me like flies
They got one thing on their minds
(Some things don't change)

(The girls roll up)
Windows roll down
(Eyes on us)
Jaws on the ground
(Watch them go)
It's just so funny
(Like bees to the honey!)

All around the world, pretty girls
Wipe the floor with all the boys
Pour the drinks, bring the noise
We're just so pretty!
All around the world, pretty girls
Jump the line, to the front
Do what we like, get what we want
We're just so pretty!

If you ask me, I'm killing them softly
I would spend time with you but that'd cost me
They pray that Iggy-Iggy give 'em one more chance
But busy Iggy wouldn't even give 'em one more glance
See, enter in line between the beauty and a beast
Slim waist, thick cake, the whole world want a piece
Bad girl, good (ooh) would make you lose your mind
All of the boys begging Britney, hit 'em one more time
Iggs!

All around the world, pretty girls
Wipe the floor with all the boys
Pour the drinks, bring the noise
We're just so pretty!
All around the world, pretty girls
Jump the line, to the front
Do what we like, get what we want
We're just so pretty!

LOL, mine comes from the Mozilla Repo too, as I do not like Snap/flatpack... I'm no fan of #fastly, they hold to many PII data

Beside of that.. I'm on the hunt for a new none-google (chrom*) based browser... was looking into librewolf.net/installation/deb… bit I don't like they locked the dark theme, as I suffer from cataract, I require dark backgrounds, so thinking my next lookup would be waterfox.net/. Have you been on the lookout for and alternative to #Firefox, now they changed they (anti)privacy policies?

in reply to Nanook

Hey mate! So, I've been a massive fan of KDE for ages now—since around 2000, I reckon. The customisation options are just brilliant, and there are loads of pre-made themes to choose from. If you're after performance, I'd say go for LXDE, but Mate is just as solid as any of the others. That's the beauty of Linux, right? You get to pick what works for you; it's your hardware, your choices—not some corporate bigwigs at Microsoft telling you what to do.

These random errors I've been getting are just bizarre, though. I'm really hoping the lovely folks at #Framasoft sort it out soon. If not, I might have to consider downgrading to 7.1.1. Fingers crossed!

Cheers @spirillen & @spirillen@spirillen@tube.matrix.rocks

in reply to BSD (Blue Screen of Death)

@BSD (Blue Screen of Death) @Spirillen Marsupilami @Spirillen I don't have any issue with those that like KDE, I can navigate it if need be, but I prefer a mostly empty desktop for work and a simple well structured menu system which mate provides me. KDE is unquestionably prettier, but it is cluttered and I've got enough clutter going on in my head not to add to it on my desktop.

There is no evidence at all that the heinous murders at the DC Jewish Museum were motivated by antisemitism, yet many simply parrot antisemitism as the cause.

@Mitchell Plitnick Motivated by antisemitism. First, to articulate what it means to be Semitic, to be from a people who speak a Semitic or Arabic language, not the 97% of Israelites who are Ashkenazi, but 100% of the Palestinians they commit genocide against. Second saying something is caused by something else without realizing that something else has a cause is diverting from the real issue. The real issue is the Ashkenazi are psychopathic bastards that given their choice would kill every other human being on Earth.

Lyrics:
Baby boy, what you done to me?
I saw you smiling suddenly
I can't get you out my mind!
I got it bad, boy, I can't lie
I want your time and your full attention
I wanna talk to you and not to mention
Good love that you give to me
I think about it constantly
No, I won't apologize for feeling like I do
It's just the simple facts of life
I'm crazy over you

I'm a selfish girl when it comes to you
Every minute of the day
I'm addicted to what you're giving me, boy
It's killing me
When it comes to love, I'm not trying share you
You might think I'm greedy, but I just don't care
I need you in my world, 'cause I'm a selfish girl

I understand that you got your crew
But I've got something in mind for you
Make you lose all track of time
Guaranteed to blow your mind
I don't care what anybody got to say
Maybe they never had it quite this way
Let them talk and criticize
They all need to recognize
They might see I'm a bit extreme
To need you night and day
But what I feel can't be concealed
There ain't no other way

I'm a selfish girl when it comes to you
Every minute of the day
I'm addicted to what you're giving me, boy
It's killing me
When it comes to love, I'm not trying share you
You might think I'm greedy, but I just don't care
I need you in my world, 'cause I'm a selfish girl

Boy, you got me tripping
I didn't know what I was missing
This is crazy (crazy)
So amazing (so amazing)
I didn't mean to be demanding but I hope you're understanding
I'm not playing boy (I'm not playing boy)
I'm just saying boy
They might see I'm a bit extreme
To need you night and day
But what I feel can't be concealed
There ain't no other way

I'm a selfish girl when it comes to you
Every minute of the day
I'm addicted to what you're giving me, boy
It's killing me
When it comes to love, I'm not trying share you
You might think I'm greedy, but I just don't care
I need you in my world, 'cause I'm a selfish girl

Boy, you got me tripping
I didn't know what I was missing
This is crazy (crazy)
So amazing (so amazing)
I didn't mean to be demanding but I hope you're understanding

I see what you mean about the rhythm; it definitely has that familiar feel. However, the lyrics really set it apart and give it a unique vibe. It's interesting how music can draw inspiration from older tunes while still creating something fresh and distinct!

At this point, I think these Big National Day of Protest(tm) events are nearly pointless. They really need tactical evolution and to become more disruptive. Combine them with small affinity group blockades, set-ins, etc. Shut down a port or a freeway or mass-occupy federal buildings or sit in at collaborationist Democratic politicians' offices... anything but a repeat of the same thing with this month's stick-on label.

I'm very well aware of the many values of large, inclusive mass demonstrations. But if that is all you ever do, the movement will be a scheduled spectacle and never challenge power or be able to make change in any real way.
