On Thursday night, Special Assistant Attorney General Devon Hogan Flanagan, a Democrat-appointed prosecutor with the Rhode Island Attorney General’s office, was arrested in Newport after refusing to leave a restaurant and berating responding officers with her supposed “status.”

Getreide ist für Hunde, die keine individuelle Unverträglichkeit haben, kein Problem. Hunde können im Gegensatz zu Wölfen problemlos Stärke spalten und es ist sogar eine recht gut nutzbare Energiequelle. Ich habe zwei Hunde mit massiven (durch Medikamente erworbenen) Unverträglichkeiten, die beziehen sich aber alle nur auf individuelle Proteine. Brötchen, Reis, Nudeln, Pizzarand ist alles kein Problem.
Der dritte Hund frisst größtenteils vegan. 🌱

Man, we keep having accumulating archivist/librarian layoffs happening at major private universities, at OCLC, at state libraries/archives, etc. I feel like the archives-interested public is aware of what's going down in the federal government but there is very little awareness of how much it's spreading outside of the feds. This shit is so bleak. I really don't know what the future of the profession looks like and that scares the shit out of me.

cwicseolfor (has moved!)

Not at all to bear false comfort because things are pretty bleak employment-wise, but in a couple more years as LLMs chew up and excrete the entire digital corpus and people (are encouraged to) lose the skills to read, seek, and research on their own even in academic settings, I think those skills are going to be sorely needed. I don’t think that reliably translates into compensation or social esteem, but some circles will honor it, and hopefully we can put those in charge by then.

The image shows a close-up of a hand holding a clear plastic cup with a dome lid and a black straw. The cup contains a brown beverage, likely an iced coffee or latte, with a frothy top. The background is blurred, but it appears to be an indoor setting, possibly an airport or a mall, with blue barriers and a food kiosk visible. The lighting is bright, and the focus is on the cup, highlighting the texture of the beverage and the details of the cup's lid and straw.

The image shows an e-reader device placed in a holder on an airplane seat. The e-reader screen displays a black-and-white comic strip featuring two characters. One character, with a robotic appearance, is holding the other character, who has a humanoid form. The text in the comic reads, "THEN, THE MIND IS OF NO USE.... IF IT CANNOT QUESTION! THINK WHAT YOU LIKE, ANDROID!" The e-reader is encased in a protective cover with elastic straps securing it in place. The background includes the interior of the airplane seat, with a blue fabric surface and a white panel above the seat, which contains some text, though it is blurred and not legible.

Saw a cunny post that used kani 🦀 for the joke, and it always messes with my head whenever I see it because there’s only one thing that comes to mind.

Okina crab. It’s fitting at least, she did try to recruit a fairy. I’m sure she’s less than innocent. So I will now subject all others to Okina crab. Four variations, because why not.

In the heart of Germany, a once-pristine natural treasure, the Reinhardswald, is being devastated under the guise of “saving the planet.”

Known as the “Fairytale Forest” due to its central role in the Brothers Grimm fairy tales, this ancient landscape is home to trees over 500 years old.

The historic forest is believed to be 1000 years old.

However, it is now being transformed into an industrial wasteland to make way for massive wind turbines.

The wind industry and green proponents claim this destruction is necessary for fighting “climate change.” But is it?

In the name of the “green agenda,” the region is being torn apart by the construction of 18 giant wind turbines.

Each turbine reaches a towering height of 244 meters.

To make room for these behemoths, roads are being cut into the forest, thousands of ancient trees are being felled, and once-pristine slopes are being leveled.

Meanwhile, vast amounts of gravel are being dumped across the forest floor.

This isn’t just the installation of wind turbines in open fields; this is large-scale industrial development that is causing irreversible harm to the forest’s delicate ecosystem.

🔻Alors que le message enthousiaste de #Trump après sa rencontre avec #Poutine laissait entrevoir une petite lumière, rejetant toute idée de cessez-le-feu, ne menaçant plus la Russie de sanctions,
🔻 #Macron, #Starmer, #Merz, #Meloni, #Tusk et #Stubb ont publié une déclaration commune qui maintient les raisons mêmes de la guerre et invalide toute idée de négociation : entrée de l’ #Ukraine dans l’ #OTAN, méconnaissance totale des besoins de sécurité de la #Russie qui est encerclée par l’OTAN, refus de toute partition du territoire malgré l’oppression des russophones par le gouvernement Poroshenko puis #Zelensky, souhait de mettre les bottes européennes en Ukraine, et désir de renforcer les sanctions contre la Russie.

————

Macron, Meloni, Merz, Starmer, Stubb et Tusk:
«Nous saluons les efforts du président Trump pour mettre fin à l’effusion de sang en Ukraine, mettre fin à la guerre d’agression de la Russie et parvenir à une paix juste et durable.
Comme l’a déclaré le président Trump : «Il n’y a pas d’accord tant qu’un accord n’est pas conclu».
Selon le plan du président Trump, la prochaine étape doit inclure de nouvelles discussions impliquant le président Zelensky, qu'il rencontrera bientôt.
Nous souhaitons également exprimer notre volonté de coopérer avec le président Trump et le président Zelensky pour organiser un sommet trilatéral soutenu par l’Europe.
Nous soulignons fermement que l’Ukraine doit recevoir des garanties de sécurité à toute épreuve pour défendre efficacement sa souveraineté et son intégrité territoriale.
Nous saluons la déclaration du président Trump selon laquelle les États-Unis sont prêts à fournir de telles garanties de sécurité.
La Coalition des Volontaires est prête à jouer un rôle actif dans ce processus.
❗️Toutefois, les forces armées ukrainiennes et leur coopération avec des pays tiers ne devraient être soumises à aucune restriction.
❗️La Russie ne doit pas avoir de droit de veto sur l’éventuelle adhésion de l’Ukraine à l’UE et à l’OTAN.
❗️C'est l'Ukraine qui prendra les décisions concernant son territoire. Les frontières internationales ne peuvent être modifiées par la force.
Nous continuerons de soutenir l'Ukraine. Nous sommes déterminés à redoubler d'efforts pour maintenir la position forte de l'Ukraine afin de mettre fin aux combats et de parvenir à une paix juste et durable.
❗️Nous exprimons notre volonté de continuer à exercer une pression sur la Russie jusqu’à ce que l’effusion de sang en Ukraine cesse.
❗️Nous continuerons à renforcer les sanctions et les mesures économiques plus larges pour faire pression sur l’économie de guerre de la Russie jusqu’à ce qu’une paix juste et durable soit obtenue.
L’Ukraine peut compter sur notre solidarité indéfectible dans les efforts visant à parvenir à une paix qui préserve les intérêts vitaux de l’Ukraine et de l’Europe dans le domaine de la sécurité».

Had a support ticket open with Vultr requesting a refund for a couple month's worth of charges for a cloud storage bucket I couldn't delete due to errors on their end. I said I'd begin the chargeback process with my bank if they couldn't refund me and they nuked my account on the spot! Glad there wasn't anything important left in there
