I used to be a professional online community builder (1995-2020). I have eclectic interests: coffee roasting, kludge DIY, 16thC Germany, History of Surgery... Now, I just have opinions: all of them are wrong, but some of them are useful. Willing to learn.

I need more music like this in my life. Building a playlist of protest songs.

Taking suggestions!

"...There is nothing off the table anymore
And the men in boots are marching past your door
Will you yell things out the window? Will you wave a little sign?
Will you fight them? Will you join them?
Will you hide & close the blinds?"

Gawddammit! But then I would have done something similar around that time.

So, did you get to meet them and talk to any of them? I would be over the moon.

buy Kelly’s book about correspondence with activists when things are falling apart that she’s been too busy to promote because she’s an activist in a city where things are falling apart

Preorder Read This When Things Fall Apart @mskellymhayes.bsky.social · 1d

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

Jesus on a crabcake! Someone at HBO Max should be called out as a fool.

This image for Red Tails (2012) shows a MODERN German airbase with Tornado jet fighters. Those men's legacies deserve better than shoddy artwork.

Also, watch Red Tails. It's a very fun film!

Screenshot of a banner for the movie Red Tails (2012) showing three actors portraying members of the Tuskegee Airmen. In the back ground is a post-WWII airbase with very modern Tornado jets with clear Bundesrepublik flags. The mismatch is ahistorical.

Folks are gearing up for the October 18 #NoKings event here in #Merced! nokings.org

The first one was a smash for these towns in the more conservative Central Valley of California.

If it has been cooked, I'll eat it cold the next day.

Pizza, taco meat, spicy ramen, rice, any kind of takeout, stovetop stuffing, ravioli with sauce....

Separately, I like maple syrup *and* hot sauce on my scrambled eggs. Not too much, but definitely both at the sane time.

the default state for most people to give feedback online borders on toxic. if you want different behavior, you have to nurture it & build trust.

the first step for that is clear communication about both positive & negative events. these most recent issues compounded because of poor comms.

And if you argue this it’s because you don’t listen to the radio in your car either. Because that’s also broadcast.

And fine… you can AFFORD that choice.

But not all can.

Don’t be an asshole and disparage broadcast just because you don’t understand that radio waves will outlive you & capitalism.

Addendum:

I need to stress again… the notion or argument that broadcast TV is obsolete and that content should simply be moved off the airwaves onto streams is privileged and problematic on its face.

We shouldn’t shut libraries down because bookstores exist either.

Public airwaves are OURS.

And Fortune magazine, as the avatar of vibe-capitalism, serves up a cocktail of survivorship and confirmation bias that unlikely holds up to scrutiny.

Someone right now is writing up a management book called, “shoot your employees into space: a guide for building focus and resilience in Gen Z”

Scott Moore @scottmoore.bsky.social · 13d

That was my impression also.

Scott Moore @scottmoore.bsky.social · 13d

The same for trepaning—the flesh of the scalp is cut and pulled aside before applying the teeth of the trepan to the skull. I was rather upset when the otherwise great Mercy Street failed to do this.

Also, all trephines are trepans, but not all trepans are trephines.

Scott Moore @scottmoore.bsky.social · 13d

My hobby is surgical history: when performing an amputation, a surgeon would always cut the flesh to the bone and retract the flesh toward the body before using a bone saw. This is the case from ancient to modern eras. So many movies imply a saw being used directly on the flesh.

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated.

Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.”

This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

Brad Lander @bradlander.bsky.social · 17d

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

No, seriously: listening is not enough. These folks only listen to respond, not to learn, not to understand. They are interested in hearing from others only insofar as it allows them to push back and promote their position.

Had a chance a while back to go to the Raygun store in lovely downtown Des Moines, Iowa. Of all the political shirts there, this one seemed like the most important to buy.
