This may be a long shot, but I’m looking to get in contact with Jeremy Templer who wrote the “Newton Assist” column that appeared in Macworld Australia.

He was a partner with SureFire Search Marketing based in New Zealand, but that company was shuttered in 2024.

Any tips or pointers would be […]

If you are in mountain or pacific time zones in the U.S., you may want to take a cue from protesters in NJ, who are doing banner drops to catch rush hour commuters. Banner reads : ICE MURDERS WOMAN IN MN

Would be great to see all across the country.

Das Bild zeigt eine malerische Berglandschaft mit einem klaren, blauen Fluss, der durch eine Felslandschaft fließt. Der Fluss ist von großen, grauen Steinen gesäumt, die in verschiedenen Größen und Formen verteilt sind. Die Wasseroberfläche ist leicht gewellt, was auf eine leichte Strömung hinweist. Auf der rechten Seite des Bildes sind Bäume mit herbstlichen Blättern zu sehen, die in verschiedenen Farben wie Orange, Gelb und Braun leuchten. Im Hintergrund erstreckt sich ein Wald mit dichten Bäumen, die ebenfalls in den Herbstfarben leuchten. Die gesamte Szene vermittelt ein Gefühl von Ruhe und natürlicher Schönheit.

Hey, uh, Happy New Year. Here's to 2026 being a shitty year for fascists and authoritarians and a great year for everyone else.

Today is the day I started reading and learning as much as I can about Alzheimer’s Disease. Getting old sucks. Watching your parents age and decline seems to be harder, though.

“There’s a reason you separate the military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, the enemies of the state tend to become the people.”

This Battlestar Galactica quote feels more relevant than ever… so I turned it into a sticker!

Grab the frakkin' file from my site if you'd like to print your own batch of stickers. https://docpop.org/2025/09/battlestar-galactica-and-the-danger-of-militarized-policing/ #battlestargalactica
A sticker that says “There’s a reason you separate the military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, the enemies of the state tend to become the people.” The corners of the sticker are cut at 90 degrees, like an octagon sheet of paper.

Nighttime

#urban #photography
The exterior of two residential buildings separated by a central illuminated section. The dominant colors are muted grays of the building facades, contrasting with the warm, reddish-brown and brightly lit central panel. A metallic, open-tread fire escape with multiple landings and a spiral staircase component is attached to this wall. The strong artificial light emanating from unseen sources above and below illuminates the fire escape and casts dramatic, elongated shadows of its structure onto the wooden paneling behind it.

Two years today I came out to everyone as #trans right here on Mastodon. The reaction was incredible and I continue to receive so much affirmation and support here. I'm not sure that would have happened anywhere else.

I don't write original posts here or on my own website very often, but today […]

Y'all were wondering which way the army would break. This is as clear an answer as you're going to get.

During drills they were perfectly in time. This isn't a mistake. It's a message.

A friend was having trouble with reasons to tell a guy she didn't want to go on a date with him. So I made a thing for her.

I was asked by a 20 year younger friend how my internet was back then. I needed a moment but then I told her the story of an IRC channel and how we made the day for a young girl who happened to be on our IRC channel. Because this is what my internet was like back then and I wish sometimes it […]

The Right is now gaming Threads the same way they did Twitter. They plant tropes and narratives meant to incense and divide liberals.

I use all four major platforms. The only place people seem consistently smart, engaged, and CIVIL, is Mastodon. Bluesky is next.
