So, I still have not updated my iPhone to v26 because I hate everything I’ve seen about the “Liquid Glass” and Apple still had a v18 update last time around.
But I expect I will be forced to upgrade since Safari with Lockdown Mode on in v18 chokes on almost every page, redrawing a couple of times before giving up. I also see this in a couple of apps which are probably just thin wrappers around Safari WebViews. Turning off lockdown mode for the site ends the problem.
Just a reminder that Odysee still hosts Nazi content, for example: https://odysee.com/@AryanEmpire1488:5
The Nordic Resistance Movement also actively links to Odysee, which says a lot about the kind of audience the site odysee attracts. I stopped using the platform years ago for this reason.

Just got these messages from @seengoals@mastodon.social, one of the members of Gaza Verified, basically accusing me of running a fundraiser for Gaza and keeping the proceeds (I have no fundraiser on any fundraising site anywhere) and extorting me to share his fundraiser or he’ll apparently go public with it.
So here’s what’s going to happening instead: Nabil has been removed Gaza Verified (

Overheard two construction workers from the big building site around the corner in line at the donut shop this morning:
Worker1: I gotta open the app - I collect points.
Worker2: See, that's what I was telling you about, that's capitalism. They get you with the useless things like points.

In case anyone was wondering about the relevance of #LandBack in the current moment, via CrimeThinc an article on the Minneapolis resistance states:
"""
The Whipple, a federal building in Fort Snelling on the outskirts of the Minneapolis and St. Paul, has long been a regional headquarters for ICE, having previously housed other federal agencies. The complex is located across the street from a National Guard base, down the road from a military base, and next to the preserved fort itself. The fort sits on the sacred site of the convergence of two rivers. It was one of the earliest sites of colonization in the area; at one time, it was a concentration camp holding native Dakota people.
"""
If at any point in the past you ever felt that maybe Native soverignty was a niche issue, or so far from being realized that other causes were more important or relevant, things like this are a good reminder that that cause: overturning the colonial order, is the *same* cause as any meaningful change from the fascist status quo. Things like a "return to democracy" aren't necessarily bad, but the rot runs to the root of this nation, and any intervention that doesn't go that deep is going to leave us right back in this situation again later on.
The fact that ICE is detaining Native Americans is not at all a mistake given their white supremacist aims.

Article in which I explore two dimensions of the USA's terrorist action against Venezuela, oil and the demonstration of power. As for oil, I explore two aspects.

Good Morning #Canada
A bit late this morning as we went out for a big family breakfast. I think I'll chip away at my #CanadianCapitals series by sharing some tidbits about one of our older cities. Halifax, because of its large natural harbour, served as an important military base for British ships in North America. Founded in 1749 and incorporated as a city in 1842, it is known for a number of 1sts. Halifax had the 1st public school in Canada as well as the first law school and art college. Canada’s 1st newspaper, the Halifax Gazette, was established in 1752, and the city had the first all electric city lighting grid in North America. The harbour was also the site for the world's largest man-made explosion in #WWI when a munitions transport collided with another ship. Awesome place to visit but try not to jump when they fire the traditional noon cannon.
