@forestine Their staff was stunned when I told them that I expected their cowardice & I'll just send a ton more people in my place. I got them shut down in less than a year after them calling cops on me. They FAFOed. Smart folks don't try to FAFO with me, ever.

From high-energy physics: every antiparticle is a particle traveling backward in time & vice versa. Eg, a positron is an electron traveling backward in time. If a positron & electron annihilate, it can be viewed as one of them emitting a couple of photons, turning around & going backward in time. That's probably the closest real idea in physics.

@hrefna well... I think it's a good demonstration of how the minority leader and minority whip are not equal to the task

I don’t understand why Christmas needs to invade November. It already owns the 25th of December through the 5th of January.

"On the ground dog tags and wreaths of flowers, with ribbons red as the blood
Red as the blood you spilled in the Central Highlands mud
Limousines rush down Pennsylvania Avenue rustling the leaves as they fall
Apology and forgiveness got no place here at all
Here at the wall"

Alex of Apple Lisa fame has done it again!

It looks like there’s now a new floppy emulator for Apple computers!

It’s able to emulate a 400k, 800k, Twiggy (!) and HD20 drives.

Emphasis on the drives - depending on the drive type, it can support multiple disks images. I.E, two 5.25” drives, or two twiggy disks, or four HD20 drives. All off a low cost ESP32! There is no CPLD in sight!

Ending the Iran War requires more than stopping the funding. It requires sensible policy to stabilize the region. It starts with returning to the MOU and acknowledging that we must pay for what we did

Bluesky users: MISSISSIPPI!!!! 🪅🎉🥂🪅🎉

Also, Bluesky users: Sorry Bluesky blocks access to Mississippi residents. Maybe you should move?

Today, we painted a smile and a new hope.

This is Adam, one of the youngest children in the camp I care for. When Gaza_campkids began, he was less than two years old. Today, I bought Adam the first school bag of his life so he can start kindergarten!

It's so emotional for me. I made one of his dreams come true: a bag and a ball.

This is how Gaza's children are: innocent and simple. With your support, we make every dream real🤍.

I paused when I saw this picture, taken from amidst the rubble, and wanted to share it with you. While the occupation spreads death and destruction everywhere, there are those who insist on planting life, bringing greenery and hope among the ruins. As if they are saying that life is stronger than every attempt to uproot it🌱🤍

Silence does not mean we are okay 💔
Our lives here need more than words. We fight daily to keep our home and stay together. We do not know what tomorrow holds — but we believe goodness lives in those who do not forget the people of Gaza 🇵🇸🤲

I am on my knees begging you: please don't let my children suffer in silence. 💔 Hamza and Jouri have already endured more than any child should. Their father is amputated and cannot work, and I am battling a painful foot infection while trying to keep my family alive.
We have no safe home, no income, and nowhere else to turn. I urgently need €100 to provide my children with their basic needs.

From the largest study yet of its kind: In Texas, among trans adults who began their medical transition as minors, just 3% expressed regret: https://wapo.st/4kaxdIY

The regret rate for knee surgery is about 15%. Some of that 15% has to do with the pre and post surgery physical training: it hurst so much that compliance is low.

@forestine I'm used to being kicked out & banned for protesting bigot businesses. Fuck them.

We try to keep ourselves warm by lighting a fire,but it is not enough to get through these freezing nights.We urgently need $300 to buy blankets&winter clothes to protect us from the cold&give us some warmth.We are only asking for the most basic necessities of life,don't leave us to face the winter cold alone Stand by us,every help,no matter how small,can help us get blankets&warm clothes to protect us from the freezing cold🙏💔

Historically the pharma industry has used attractive young women as representatives to get older male doctors to change their prescribing practices.

With more women in medicine came an attempt at the reverse. When I was practicing, some drug company sent a young male body builder to our all female practice. He didn't flirt with the married female doctor or PNP, but he was showing me shirtless pics on his phone.

We somehow managed to hold the laughter in until he was gone and then we lost it.

An immediate ceasefire is unlikely after the russian delegation in Abu Dhabi said it lacked the authority to discuss a truce, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr #Zelenskyy.

During the recent high-level meetings, #Ukraine once again proposed halting strikes on energy infrastructure and reaching an agreement on a maritime truce, but the russian representatives cited a lack of appropriate mandates to address these terms, UNIAN reported.
