Gossamer has a QoL update or two, if you long-press for 2sec on the blank space on the main page it'll pop up a drag left/right to open scan/display

Oh, and thanks to kiddonect's translations, I was able to get all 14 languages installed into Gossamer, with only 43 strings to be redone.

Sigh.
The brain is running short on happy chemicals all of a sudden.

So many peoples' reactions seem to boil down to "lmao that's history book stuff not real life" as though history at some point was cleaved from us and we now live in some more sensible version of the world with nothing to glean from it

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.
Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

Videos verified by The New York Times show Alex Jeffrey Pretti, the man federal agents shot and killed in Minneapolis on Saturday, was holding a phone, not a gun, when the agents took him to the ground and shot him. In total, at least 10 shots appear to have been fired within five seconds.
Videos Show Moments in Which Agents Killed a Man in Minneapolis
Federal authorities said the slain man, Alex Pretti, had approached agents with a gun. But videos show Mr. Pretti was holding his phone, not a weapon, when they pulled him to the ground.

Definitely make sure your veteran kin know ICE killed a VA nurse. Almost everyone* who has needed the VA comes out the VA’s partisan, and a fierce protector of it. ICE, undisciplined yahoos, harms the agency that is there for veterans when everyone else fails them.

*There are always assholes.

NEW: Minnesota BCA was denied access to the crime scene. They got a WARRANT and DHS STILL BLOCKED THEM. So DHS doesn’t need a warrant to enter your house, but an actual warrant to enter the crime scene is denied?

If there's one thing that today has shown it is this: they will continue to hurt people until there are consequences for hurting people.

They cannot be stopped by shame. There will be no "are we the baddies" moment. They are out to hurt and kill and destroy as many lives as they can get away with.

Just saw pink coat lady’s video and…it looks like after wrestling him down they saw a legally carried gun, yelled “Gun. Gun gun gun” and opened fire to execute him.

His crime was not getting out of the street fast enough and trying to help a lady ICE shoved over to stand up.

It is an execution.
“With a 9mm handgun” is doing a lot of lifting, considering there is video of him approaching ICE with a cell phone recording them.

A legally permitted gun owner walking up with a holstered sidearm in an open carry state is “approaching with a handgun.” It doesn’t mean they are a threat.
BREAKING: The Department of Homeland Security releases a statement on the fatal shooting in Minneapolis involving a federal agent. DHS claims the victim “approached U.S. Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun.”

I need to minimize my bluesky usage today.

I've read about ONE news event, and I'm depressed. I have my own life I need to work on.

Look, I'm not against taking freelance programming work right now. I'm looking at almost- anything- that will help the family keep going.

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

ICE Vows To Restore Order Using Whatever Force Unnecessary

I think the NRA and other 2A advocates should pay *very* close attention to the narrative that open carry constitutes "brandishing" a firearm.
I'm sure they'll be fine with the idea that having a legal gun on your person in a legal fashion is enough of a threat for immediate deadly force.

I just need to know it's all going to work out okay. That it has all been worth it. That there is a happy ending. That compassion and wisdom prevail over beutish violence and ignorance.

Please, please let things get better...

A few days ago, I stood in the graveyard of an 1100 year old church, getting damper and damper in the drizzling rain.

A woman walked into the graveyard, waved, said hello, and, as we had previously arranged, handed me a paper bag full of human bones.

The life of a churchwarden is a strange one...

It occurs to me that once this whole thing gets dealt with, the 2A militias are going to have a really hard time justifying their existence.
"No no, you guys had your chance and you blew it. You didn't do jack squat against the one thing you argued the guns were absolutely necessary for."

ITS A SCAM. THE JOB IS A SCAM.
Jfc this is so targeted. Recruiting emails. A nice website & game sample on Steam. Interview focusing on storyboarding skills. Portfolio review. Official employment letter. Onboarding emails across two days. Then they hit me with wanting me to cash a check. 😫
