My streak of not drawing much lately continues. But I occasionally pick up the pencil still. These are some:

#doodles #yaombaaa

Little troll like dude wrapped up in a checkered blanket with what appears to be a little pile of soil as a hat. The hat has some flowers growing out of it and little bug buddies hanging around.
The head of some sort of devilish fellow with eyes that are extremely far apart and wide open. It looks like it's seen some things, man.
This drawing was crammed in the corner of a page, so it's partly cut off. But it's a muscular, reptilian fellow with a smoking gun in its right hand, a knife in its left, and a face that I'm sure its mother found quite handsome. (The picture is offset to the left because I erased the surrounding doodles, but couldn't be bother to otherwise pretty things up. To his right was actually the previously mentioned devilish fellow.)
Small doodle of a man opening his mouth in an exaggerated manner yelling, "Lies! LIES!" A truth teller I would like to see more of.

I keep reading Letter From a Birmingham Jail. Dr. King lays out the purpose of a protest. I can't help but notice how divorced the #NoKings movement is from those tenants.

If a protest doesn't have a call to action or a means of pressure to bring decision makers to the negotiating table, then it's not a protest. It's a gathering.

I fear so much of mainstream "direct action" is a way to keep us busy and feeling accomplished. We don't know any better because we don't have real activist leaders.

Indeed, this is the very purpose of direct action. Nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and foster such a tension that a community which has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue. It seeks so to dramatize the issue that it can no longer be ignored.

Hey remember when our government tried to convince us that they found aliens and then never mentioned it ever again?

Like, it's so easy to spot when republicans use distraction and fear tactics because it's like "oh no a caravan of Mexicans are coming to kill us." It's always so obvious.

But Dems do that shit too. They just have to use different types of aliens for it to work on liberals.

One of these will push you into an oubliette of self-hatred and self-harm from which few people ever financially or emotionally recover, and the other is heroin.

I'm certainly astonished to learn that Trump is a colossal racist. And I'm similarly confident that all those who have previously supported him (such as leaders in the tech industry) will now publicly condemn him.

I know the accepted narrative for the RAM shortage is AI data center demand, but is anyone checking to see if any part of this is just artificial scarcity?

They did it with diamonds. Why not computer?

We're nearing a point where only five or so companies can build computers. That's gotta be idk, illegal? lol what is happening.

@richardgrant @liquor_american @jaffathecake @duke_of_germany @firefoxwebdevs @davidgerard The way that I interpret this discussion with Jake, even if it was not Jake who was personally involved, is that:

- Mozilla was always going to plow ahead with AI anyway
- Mozilla knew that Mastodon represented its largest group of its most enthusiastic supporters and promoters, and that this group is traditionally against AI creep
- They sent someone into this community feigning to solicit feedback in an effort to manufacture consent
- This failed predictably and spectacularly, and that hurt the representative's fee fees
- Now that Mozilla has, through naught but their own actions, completely alienated this community, they can claim that WE don't support THEM (c.f. Jake's false victim complex) and can claim moral high ground doing the thing they were so obviously going to do anyway.

So anyway, I've been a vocal supporter of Mozilla and its predecessors since the days of Netscape Navigator. A week ago I installed Vivaldi, and don't plan to go back.

Just got home from supporting a training for new ICE patrol volunteers for a nearby neighborhood school.

For those who may've heard ICE is withdrawing 700 agents from Minnesota, keep in mind that still leaves more than 2000 here. They continue to violate human rights, engage in racial profiling, and cause chaos and terror.

They're even writing "ICE OUT" in the dirt on their vehicles to try to blend in and infiltrate communities and groups.

Talking about election security would be a lot more productive if more people understood two things:

- The existence of a vulnerability is concerning, but does not by itself prove that an election was hacked or compromised.

- Losing an election, even one that you expected to win, is frustrating, but does not by itself prove that an election was hacked or compromised.

I'm looking for a C compiler that:

- is simpler and smaller than TinyCC
- is capable of compiling TinyCC
- is written in *very* simple C or a language simpler than C
- can plausibly support risc-v (I can add codegen myself, just can't have deeply hardcoded x86 assumptions)
- has a FOSS license
- is not GNU Mes

Does anything matching these criteria exist?
