I just ate a rather good blackberry off a blackberry vine near my house NORTH OF SEATTLE.

There were more, they just weren't ripe yet.

Basically, climate change is fucked up.

In 1924, the Nobel committee decided that Chemistry hadn't been good enough that year, so they just didn't award a prize.

Maybe they'll do that with the Peace Prize this year

Credit where due; there's a number of specific actions in these Harrell executive orders.

City council will need to act on some of it, like the part about requiring feds to show agency ID.

San Diego residents or frequent visitors: I've been invited to an amazing workshop at the San Diego VA in June, but the nearest hotel is $310 a NIGHT. (It might actually be cheaper for me to fly roundtrip to PDX each evening, that's how crazy that is.) No nearby AirBNBs. Thoughts?

I mostly agree with this, but I think there's a caveat - if you're not willing to accept at least some small risk of those sorts of consequences you can't fight a fascist regime that wants to use them to impose absolute conformity on the public.

Just heard someone say that if you aren't willing to get arrested or die at a protest you aren't serious about the cause and that's a) not true and b) not helpful

You don't need to have a death wish to fight for a better world, and anyone who says you do is throwing up a massive red flag

President Trump threatened Governor Pritzker with jail.

This is a government who would arrest people for criticizing them if they thought they could get away with it, and we may get to the point where they think they can arrest all their critics.

I think Mastodon's proposal for starter packs is a significant positive evolution of the way Bluesky rolled them out. I wound up on a bunch of packs there and it was…not a great thing for my specific brain and purpose.

I do hope the people in Masto's comments saying […]

Firstly, it's important to us that users have control over whether they appear in Packs on Mastodon. Early design explorations with our concept of Packs led us to the following possibilities:

• Packs will become an extension of discovery. Users who wish to opt out entirely from Packs will be able to do so by disabling the existing setting, labelled "Feature profile and posts in discovery algorithms". This will signal that an account cannot be added to a Pack.
• Users will be notified when they are included in a Pack. Unlike on Bluesky, where users wishing to remove themselves from a Starter Pack must either report the Starter Pack, or block the user, users on Mastodon will have a more neutral mechanism to remove themselves from a Pack they do not wish to be part of. (note: we implemented something similar with the Quote Posts feature, where an original post can be removed from a quote post; this same idea would flow through to Packs).

The Trump regime's war on Christianity continues, as regime troops attacks Americans across the United States and rounds up majority Christian immigrants, they've also targeted religious leaders.

Here the Trump regime ICE forces shot a pastor in the head in the latest attack on civilians.
