Much of what is going on under the present FFOTUS/maga-klan/white-christian-nationalist reign reminds me of a time in Florence, Italy in the late 1400s.
A nut named Girolamo Savonarola tried to impose a very regressive Christian policy onto Florence.
The people of Florence didn't like it and, in the end, gave Savonarola a rather hot time.

Do I know any Wikipedians who can review a draft of an article and see if it's ready to be approved for publication? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Mo

Heh, I missed this because I don't care about the A Song of Ice and Fire books anymore, but I guess it's official:
> In December 2024, he stated that he might never finish [The Winds of Winter] or book series, but did reaffirm that it was still a priority for him[…].
Reminds me of how my privacy is apparently the priority to everyone on the web.

Being autistic, I have to keep telling myself, "Yes, being gender-fluid is valid, and Norway lets me be who I am," just to really accept myself. 🏳️‍⚧️🇳🇴
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_f

Five horizontal stripes in pink, white, purple, black, and blue. Pink represents femininity, white represents lack of gender, purple represents a mix of masculinity and femininity, black stands for all genders beyond the binary, and blue represents masculinity. The flag symbolizes the fluid and diverse nature of gender identities.

Today we saw a white-eared opossum and that's how I learned that Argentinians call them "comadreja" - literally weasel.
The evolutionary biologist in me is extremely amused by that, their shared ancestry is that both opossum and weasels are mammals, but that's it. And they definitely look like their ancestry stops there. 😅

I rarely leave my neighborhood these days, so when the opportunity came last weekend to visit a town about 80 km from my home, I took a little detour to visit and take photos of the town’s only national historical marker.
(Those who have been following me long enough know that documenting historical markers in #Wikidata and

Cast iron historical marker with the following white text on black: Pagdaong sa Nasugbu Sa pook na ito dumaong ang mga sundalo ng Unang Batalyon at 188th Glider Infantry ng 11th Airborne Division sa pangunguna ni Lt. General Robert Eichelberger, 31 Enero 1945. Nagsilbing kabalikat ng hukbong Amerikano ang mga gerilyang Filipino na pinangunahan ni Tenyente Koronel Marcelo Castillo at Koronel Eleuterio L. Adevoso.
Historical marker mounted vertically on a concrete pedestal with a few steps before it and surrounded by a low concrete wall.

The combination of pareidolia and clownish but menacing Nazis
It's making me think of the criminally-underrecognized MRS DAVIS
I need to watch this again. Perhaps it should be a Labor Day (US version) ritual

Had a great day climbing in the Burren (Co. Clare, Ireland) with my friend Barry from Limerick.
We developed two new routes (first ascends) at Slieve Rua:
Broken Bum (HS), lead by Barry, and Midday in the Midlands (HS) lead by me.
