Yea I can’t imagine why anyone thought this dipshit was defending rape…I mean aside from the over half a dozen posts where he defended rape as “not immoral”, literally said “No. In fact, the word "rape"…didn't even exist until the 1800s.” and arguing that being “owned”* wasn’t “horrific”
Complete mystery why people went after him, must be some weird BlueSky thing. 😂

For four months, Trump had been haranguing Indiana Republicans to redraw their congressional district maps
to carve out two new safe Republican seats.
Right now, Indiana is overwhelmingly Republican.
Seven of the state’s nine congressional districts are solidly red.
But Republicans control Congress as a whole by a mere three votes.
Given how dramatically Republican measures and candidates under-performed this year,
Trump has reason to worry in the 2026…
After a few quiet days, ICE is crawling all over Mpls today. Heard some stories from neighbors who saw some •extremely• dangerous driving from them, including a left turn on red across a 4-lane highway.
Feels like they’re gearing up to target people specifically over Christmas, when they’re more likely to be at home or at church.
Be safe out there, neighbors, and keep your eyes open.

I haven't seen the full collection in almost ten years. Moving, kittens, small children… there have been several reasons as to why I couldn't have them all up, but now our cats are adults and wise, and we have no toddlers. It's safe to bring them all out again.

No nonsense news or fun facts this morning. I'm taking a few days off due to a busy schedule and a compressed family gathering. My oldest daughter has scheduled radiation treatments this morning and early on Boxing Day, so we're having a Christmas Eve dinner and exchanging gifts early tomorrow. I might post if something snark-worthy pops up but otherwise look for the next Good Morning post on the 26th.
I hope all Canadians have a safe and happy holidays.

Minnesota’s governor, Tim Walz,
has posted on X saying:
“I told the White House the state must lead the investigation” into the fatal shooting of a man in Minneapolis this morning.
“Let state investigators secure justice.
As we process the scene, stay peaceful and give them space.
The state has the personnel to keep people safe
– federal agents must not obstruct our ability to do so,” he said.

A cruelty of aging is that no activity is safe. I somehow injured my groin/hip last night… getting up out of a chair!?! I don’t even know how.

1. In 2050 will Israel still be a country or a smoking (and possibly radioactive) ruin? (I fully support the peaceful, safe existence of Israel. However, the genocidal acts of its government [as distinct from the citizens of Israel] are inviting a very strong, possibly nation-ending, response from others. I also fully support the peaceful, safe existence of a sovereign state for those in Gaza and the West Bank.)
2. Will the United States still …

On the fediverse, as we live through the ongoing Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people, there are those who oppose the genocide and are trying to help the victims and there are those who deny the genocide, try to erase the victims, and attempt to vilify the ones trying to help.
If you’re neutral, you’ve chosen the side of the latter.
If you give genocide deniers sanctuary on your servers, you’re telling genocide victims that they are not safe on your server.

Wouter constant is talking about permissionlessness. Nostr is a protocol that doesn't need some central server to authenticate your requests. Which is good. But this means that, say, children can use it without parents permission.
Online safety act and others are closing down the internet to protect them kids. So can nostr have accounts that do need permission? Can it be made kid safe? Of only to satisfy crazy governments under parent pressure.
Weboftrustfoundation exists to try and build kidstr, some kind of nostr for children.
Mostly just asking questions so far. How can it work? How can it avoid labelling vulnerable people to exploit?

I feel the need to stress, even though it should go without saying, that the person who was kidnapped out of their car was not obstructing or interfering. They were doing nothing illegal, and nothing wrong. They were part of a caravan following ICE at a safe distance, driving legally, not even stopping their crimes, not even slowing them down — just making sure their crimes were recorded.

However I WAS able to continue to access Elk on my Macbook Pro laptop until a couple of weeks ago, but now I get the same error there.
When I investigate this at cloudflare, I am advised:
There are two possible causes:
502/504 errors from your origin web server (most common).
I also have noticed that my security program, BitDefender has notified me of this several times:
firefox.exe attempted to establish a connection relying on an unmatching security certificate to cdn.signalayer.com. We blocked the connection to keep your data safe since the used certificate was issued for a different web address than the targeted one
Is this possibly related to my difficulties?

"The Securing American Funding and Expertise from Adversarial Research Exploitation (SAFE) Act would deny federal funding to any U.S. scientist who collaborates with anyone “affiliated with a hostile foreign entity,” a category that includes four countries: China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. The prohibited activities would include joint research, co-authorship on papers, and advising a foreign graduate student or postdoctoral fellow. The language is retroactive, meaning any interactions during the previous 5 years could make a scientist ineligible for future federal funding."

One of our friends is the daughter of a Chilean refugee who came here as a young child after the fascist coup in 1973.
Under this Labour government she and her family would have been sent back, probably by 1980 when the dictatorship imposed a new constitution. It was still a highly repressive country. Refugees generally didn't deem it safe to return until the late 1980s. Most made lives here, contributing greatly to this country, as migrant communities always do.

The thing this reply guy doesn’t get, the thing that’s so crucial to this moment, is that being correct about the law counts for absolute diddly shit in the moment. The law is slow. The law comes later…if ever. With these people on our streets right now, the only thing that matters in the moment is what people believe: what they believe the law is, what they believe is safe, what they believe they can get away with, what they believe they are capable of doing.
The law is slow. The law catches up later. Belief is •now•.
