“We lead by love. This is community. We send no orders, there’s no orders out here, just people defending each other. And we don’t need a f*cking gun to do it. We don’t need body armor to do it. We don’t need to beat up protestors, we don’t need to beat up fake news to do it. We show up, put our f*cking bodies on the line because we don’t f*ck with n*zis. Maybe one day, maybe one day, you can say the same. Community will welcome you back…”

Photographed by Khurram Janjua, M. D., a person out side the Broadview detention center, facing armed, violent crowd control troops, makes an impassioned request for the rule of law over the rule of violence, and implores the troops to return to the side not bringing weapons but bringing faith, asks them to not side with n*zis and instead rejoin their community on the side of righteousness and Justice.

This survey question is rich. This is from one of the BigMoneySF groups trying to make it harder for the rest of us to put stuff on the ballot.
But they will never ban paid signature gathering, the one thing that would most effectively keep crap off the ballot. They just want to raise the signature threshold for the rest of us. It would still be easy for billionaires to abuse the system and qualify any ballot measure they like, just hard for anyone else.

Survey question: Large corporations are easily able to take advantage of our current ballot measure system. Making it harder to get measures on the ballot will minimize their influence, and prevent wealthy corporations from abusing our election system to protect their profits. Please indicate whether you find it very convincing, somewhat convincing, or not convincing as a reason to support the proposal. I've checked "Not convincing."

Phanpy doesn't support quoots yet, so I'm using Mastodon's stock web interface and.. it's bad. Compare how busy it looks with unnecessary stuff (do I really need a "post" input form on screen at all times? Do I need a link to "favorites" visible at all times?), but also - the fonts are bad. Bad, bad, bad. Just so much harder to read. And the timeline toots just kind of run together, rather than being clearly delineated by whitespace in phanpy.

Phanpy interface, showing a single column with clearly delineated toots. Up top there's a hamburger icon (that gets you links to everything else), a bell icon (for notifications), and on the bottom right hand side of the screen a little ink quill icon for posting. And the font text is bigger/clearer.
Mastodon's official UI home screen. There are three columns taking up the whole screen. Left column has half taken up with an input form for posting a new toot. Then there's some wasted space, and at the bottom a bunch of text links: "social.ridetrans.it: [About] [Profiles directory] [privacy policy]", etc. The middle column has all the toots from my timeline. There is only a single thin grey line separating the toots, and the text is small and somewhat difficult to read. The right column…

Chicago is getting a place for sickos
#fedifc

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS What is Soccer House? Soccer House is a soccer-only clubhouse designed exclusively for soccer fans in Chicago's West Town neighborhood. It will be where you'll want to be to watch early-morning kickoffs, derby days, cup finals, and that midweek Conference League match in Portugal you absolutely need to see with other sickos.
What games will you show? As many as we possibly can! We'll obviously show the biggest and best matchups from across the world each weekend. Beyond that, our screens are soccer-only so the Copa Libertadores never has to compete with the Cubs. We'll also feature our local Fire and Stars prominently. With multiple rooms, screens, and audio zones, different games can run at the same time so we can pack the house with as much soccer as possible.
Are you really only showing soccer? Yes. Soccer House is a soccer-exclusive venue. It will be only soccer (but we're happy for anyone to call it football). If there isn't a game on, we'll have something else soccer- related. There will be no exceptions and no just put the basketball game on for a second." This ain't the place where the TVs switch to whatever sport is trending that night.

A modern architectural structure with a sweeping arched roof and expansive glass facade, perched on a scenic hillside surrounded by greenery. The building features a curved outdoor deck supported by cylindrical columns and tiered wooden seating inside, where people are gathered in a relaxed, open setting.

A contemporary interior space with a sweeping arched wooden ceiling and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the ocean. The room features tiered seating with sculptural wooden tables and chairs arranged in a semi-circle, while sunlight casts dramatic shadows across the curved surfaces. Outside, a wooden deck extends toward the water, where two people enjoy the coastal view.

Wow, loving our greenhouse - already have the first tomatoes turning red! Only a couple weeks into summer (not even proper summer, 22 Dec in Aotearoa, yet) Crazy! This is months before we've ever had ripening fruit pre-greenhouse.

Photo from near the ground in a garden patch inside a greenhouse, looking at a small group of tomatoes on a tomato bush, two of which are turning red. A number of other tomato plants are nearby, some with many still green tomatoes. In the foreground is a timber upright with wires going through it which run the length of the garden and are used to tie up the tomatoes in a row. The plants are tied to the steel wires with strips of old bicycle inner tubes. They work great!

"Although the leftist alliance led by Jeannette Jara of the Communist Party, who served as Boric’s labor minister, is ahead in the opinion polls, she will not get an outright majority in the first round as Boric did.  And a collection of right-wing parties is likely to combine their vote and get Kast into the presidential office in the second round in December."

Chile: another turn to the right?
Chile has a general election today. Around 15m voters can take part in the first round to elect a new president, the lower house and half the seats of the senate. Incumbent President Gabriel Boric,…

San Francisco Bicycle Coalition Ryan Patterson (incumbent) Picture of man standing along a tree-lined canal One of the first things I did when I moved here in 2011 was take a Bicycle Coalition urban cycling class.

I believe education, infrastructure, and community are key to achieving these goals, and that bik…

A US Federal Judge ordered the release of the people DHS now plans to hold anyway, illegally under both US and International Law.
15 of the people arrested at Broadview yesterday were clergy, peacefully protesting; bringing assistance to and advocating for the downtrodden quite literally _is_ their job.
But DHS/ICE/CBP brings only lawlessness and violence.
DHS and all its components and collaborators are a clear and present danger to the American People and the US Consti…

screenshot of a post by Homeland Security @DHSgov: Nov 14 Womp womp, cry all you want. These criminal illegal aliens aren’t getting released. Like clockwork, violent rioters have arrived at the Broadview ICE facility to demand the release of some of the worst human beings on planet earth. Get a job you imbecilic morons.
