Was just reminded that I needed to kick in some more money to the BlackSky stuff.
Considering the money I’ve kicked in for great Mastodon clients and instances, the work Rudy and others are doing is well worth the same! mastodon.sandwich.net/@Sharkso

If, like me, you love seeing all the good Rudy Fraser is doing and the joy bubbling from the launch of the BlackSky PDS and, as another non-Black person, want to support it, you can share or subscribe to contribute to the project here! https://opencollective.com/blacksky#category-CONTRIBUTE Do NOT reply if you're going to be an anti-Black racist or a weirdo about the existence of ATProto!

would fundamentally change how Virginia treats vot…

Trump orders blockade of oil tankers into Venezuela
President Donald Trump says he is ordering a blockade of all “sanctioned oil tankers” into Venezuela, ramping up pressure on the country’s authoritarian leader Nicolás Maduro. The moves comes after U.S. forces last week seized an oil tanker off Venezuela’s coast, an unusual move that followed a buildup of military forces in the region. In a post on social media Tuesday night announcing the blockade, Trump alleged Venezuela was using oil to fund drug trafficking and other crimes. The bu…

I am holding up a vinyl record album with a bright yellow/orange cover. The album features Count Basie and Neal Hefti dressed in vintage baseball uniforms - one wearing a dark cap and the other wearing a red cap. The text on the cover reads "Basie plays Hefti" (with "EMUS" visible at the top, part of a reissue label). The photo is taken in a home workspace. In the background, there's a white shelving unit containing various items including: • A black sculptural bust on the left • A small fram…

ERA 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A black-and-white photograph of a tiled corridor. A single person walks away from the camera toward a bright opening at the far end, appearing as a dark silhouette against the strong backlight. The figure is slightly blurred, suggesting motion. The corridor walls are dim, with faint text in a non-Latin script visible on the right side. The contrast between the dark passage and the glowing exit creates a dramatic sense of depth, mystery, and anticipation. 中文替代文字：…
ERA 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A black-and-white photograph showing a broken ornate chair in the foreground. The chair’s decorative frame remains, but its seat and parts of the backrest are missing, exposing its inner structure. Behind it, two sculpted busts rest on a pedestal, partially hidden in shadow. The background is dark, contrasting with the illuminated chair. The scene evokes themes of decay, time, and art, with the fragile chair juxtaposed against classical sculptures. 中文替代文字： 一张黑白照…

The shards glint faintly against an overcast sky. In the background, utility poles with tangled electrical wires and ceramic insulators stretch across the frame.

ERA 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A monochrome image of a fenced-off area, likely under construction or restricted.
