Vladimir Putin self-destructing https://disunitedstates.com/2023/07/12/vladimir-putin-self-destructing/

My little daywalking possum friend is back, and today's lunch is grass from under the edge of a large sage bush.

I saw it wander under the house last week (after trying to break into the compost bin), so I wonder if it's made a home under there.

Halfway through #chemo and I'm almost alive again. Trusty marijuana and super awesome #cats help alleviate the brutal side effects.

#PSA men (and women!) please get your #colonoscopy. Catching #cancer early could save you the long, brutal, ugly road I am going down because I knew something was wrong but delayed seeing a doctor until it was almost too late.

#CowAppreciationDay:
While Georgia O'Keeffe painted some shells & skulls along with her many flowers & landscapes, living animals show up very rarely in her work. This is easily the best of those exceptions! 🐮

If you need to be delighted by something this morning, I present the tree goats of Morocco.

I was driving near Essaouira the first time I saw this and literally slammed on my brakes because I thought I was suddenly hallucinating. But then you learn how common it is and after a day or two it's, oh, yeah, more goats in trees.

Would anybody mind doing me a quick favor? My instance isn't very federated right now.

Please help by boosting if you see this.

Say hi, if you want, as well!

Everytime your drunk uncle, dumb cousin or idiot at the oil change place mentions #BLM violence or destruction just repeat these 2 words until they shut the fuck up.

"Umbrella Man"

He is a white supremacist accelerationist, identified by the FBI, caught on video breaking widows at an Autozone to encourage looting and fires.

Methodically.

One of the world's very strangest volcanoes, and easily one of my favorites is Kawah Ijen in Indonesia. These photos of lava are not color enhanced or photoshoped, the lava from Kawah Ijen is just that beautiful electric blue color. The lava is an incredible blue due to an extremely high sulfur content--because sulfur burns blue.

In normal volcanoes, you can sometimes catch the blue tint of volcanic gasses betraying the presence of sulfur coming into contact with oxygen, but at this volcano there is so much sulfur in the lava and air that it appears blue, and spits blue flames.

The crater during non eruptive periods is a sulfur mine, and you can find massive nearly pure sulfur crystals there. The crater lake of Ijen is enormously toxic and the sulfuric gasses in the crater can kill.

- spend days trying to get any FOSS video editor to perform decently
- numerous discussions with Linux enthusiasts who say "your setup is bad", "try this" and "try that"
- none of it works very well
- download Lightworks (proprietary video editor)
- install DEB package
- install OpenCL libraries
- it just works
- lightning fast
- professional features

the Linux enthusiasts seem largely clueless about what expectations people who have used apps like Premiere, Resolve, FCPX, Vegas and Lightworks actually have, and how bad the FOSS alternatives really are.

Lightworks was recommended to me by someone who actually edits video for a living. i hesitated to try it because i was busy checking if any of the FOSS stuff held up, and the answer is nope.

Saw this meme making the rounds on fb, wanted to share it here along with my commentary. (Spoiler alert: It's a rant about misogyny)

Almost every woman I know has a story about a man making them uncomfortable through inappropriate sexual advances.

We have seen news stories of men harassing, assaulting, and even murdering women because they did not accept their romantic or sexual gestures of flirting/trying to get their number, et cetera.

1/idk, like 4?

Looking forward to talking with @jrpsaki about the current outbreak of extreme weather events, the climate crisis, and what we can still do about it on #MSNBC/#Peacock's #InsideWithPsaki. Details to come...

The dutch government now has an official Mastodon instance, this gives government organisations and institutions the chance to have an official account in the fediverse. The instance is not for all citizens wanting to join Mastodon. I hope more governments will follow because the fediverse gives them the possibilty to fully control the data , no advertising etc.

Even acknowledging the dick-measuring (figurative and literal) and strutting about from these absurd billionaire manchildren lends credence to the core ideas of the current hypermasculine neofascist movement.

I do not care about Musk's hog, or how ripped Zuckerburg suddenly is, or who would win in a fight. Men with unlimited money and free time can surely mold their bodies to whatever ideal is fashionable to their most base worshippers.

The only valid reaction to any of this is derision.
