How embarrassing for us. We need to buy our bike share system. https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:fr6j3klgg6t5gqk5dvocurnj/post/3mdtj7yfqhs2q
👀💭 "Virginia Giuffre was called a liar. The other victims who testified to Palm Beach Police were called liars but what the documents also help to prove is that the system chose to protect the perpetrators instead of believing the victims.
That is what these January 2025 documents show. The question now is what we do about it."
Ik hoop op de eerste kabinetscrisis voordat de ploeg rond is.
Kunnen we de formatie op een normale manier herstarten.

I may have to pick this up in ebook when it comes out. 🤔 https://bsky.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:o226ujhlcj6anuqigwao4hhi/post/3mdw6ufx2yk2b
“It is by far the most disturbing thing Aronofsky has made, and I’ve seen the last eight minutes of Requiem for a Dream.”
Not a good look right after Ken Burns did a truly great series on the Revolution. Feels desperate. @…
More fun with the Metro Arduino board, which is supposedly playing back an infrared signal recorded from a remote control. This circuit sends pulse width modulated output from the Metro (yellow) to the base of a transistor, which pulls the anode of an IR LED low (blue). It's definitely transmitting something, since I can receive it with a Flipper Zero, but I couldn't get it to control my TV.
Edit: the blue trace is actually something else. See below.
Just finished "The Hate U Give" by Angie Thomas. In an unusual twist of fate, I had read "Concrete Rose" earlier, which gave me a rich backstory to relate things to. "The Hate U Give" is really good, but I found the resolution of King's arc slightly disappointing, even though the ending was strong. It's definitely not my place to judge Thomas' perspective here, but I do think that the book's broad popularity including among more liberal audiences probably stems at least in part from the way it allows a "the cops have issues but are ultimately-necessary/sometimes-positive" reading that undermines the strength of the core message.
In the end I like Concrete Rose better, but they're both great and I'll be putting Thomas' other books on my to-read list.

I will once again repeat what I think is a nationally winning campaign for a US opposition party (should any care to exist), now with Berlatsky’s improved phrasing:
❝If elected, I will fight like hell to:
- destroy Donald Trump, everything he has done, and everything he stands for,
- tax the living shit out of billionaires, and
- use that money to repair the damage they’ve done to the US.❞
Not saying that’s everything that needs to happen, or an entire political philosophy, or the solution to everything. Only saying that I think that — simply that — would win elections. Try it and see. You cowards. https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:htdsafwakqmzvuk2oivijzn6/post/3midafsxk3k2p
