Some DIY inspiration and aspiration:

"It's a digital book called Make it Yourself: 1000 Useful Things to Make...

Think of it like those old mail order catalogs that contained everything the average person might use in every day life. The difference here is that instead of products to buy, every item listed represents a DIY project that you can make yourself."

Biden and Harris were both making gains with older, white, higher income people for the plain reason that they were the primary beneficiaries of this two tier economy. For them, it really was a Biden Boom! (They were also probably more receptive to conservative messaging and figures like Cheney.) The mistake was to treat them as if they were average, a recurring problem with Democrats and this economy, where gains and spending by the top 10% have masked profound weaknesses below.

@fromjason Liked too. I think all Alex Garland movies are quite good, even the ones that he only wrote, like "28 Days Later", the sequel, and "Never Let Me Go".

Just watched Dred (2012) for the first time. Took me a moment to "get it" but when I settled in, I loved it.

Any good recommendations for the comics?

Also, I plan to be more active on letterbox. I usually write silly reviews, but not always.

I'd love to have some mutuals on there. Drop your handle.

Slackware is a Linux distribution created by Patrick Volkerding in Jul 1993. It is the oldest distro still in existence. However, someone was dissatisfied with Slackware and created another distro a month later, in August 1993. This was Debian, the second oldest distro, founded by Ian Murdock. Both of these distros are still maintained, and Debian is often known as the "mother distro" because it has spawned many more distributions. #Linux #OpenSource #history

And there's no love lost with the academic left who have fueled the narrative that lib smart con dumb, giving us all a false sense of superiority about our resistance to disinfo.

Now, these same academics are feeding denialism to corporate news— "don't worry everything is okay."

• CBS News headline: When Trump's victory became clear, online claims of election fraud quieted
• "I think this shows that these narratives are pushed when they serve a purpose, and they are stage setting often for efforts to dispute unfavorable results," said Max Read, a senior researcher at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue. "And then once that stage setting and those claims are no longer needed, they're not pushed anymore."

@fromjason The fact that I've seen posts pointing to her crowd sizes as proof of election fraud is mind-blowing to me. Could that be disinformation intended to whip the left into a frenzy? Absolutely! Should you still use your brain and shut that shit down? 1000% Jesus christ people, get your shit together.

The left is having such a difficult time accepting that left-wing conspiracies have taken hold of the base because we've decided long ago that we're immune to propaganda.

We've decided that the right is exclusively a bunch of dumb, uneducated hicks.

Setting aside the hallmark classist attitudes of contemporary libs, this thinking has finally backfired. We, too, have unaddressed media literacy problems currently being exploited. We, too, decided that's impossible.

Please excuse the poor image quality! This is something I've been dreaming of capturing forever - it's a swallow feeding it's baby on the wing 🙂 For obvious reason this image is very very cropped, but maybe one day I'll get them to do this a bit closer and a LOT slower so I can get a genuinely nice image. #birds #birdphotography

If Democrats throw trans people under the bus to deflect from their massive failures in this election then I won't support them ever again. They can be Bush era Republicans if they want but I hope and expect the party will collapse.

Periodic (haha) reminder that there is a perfectly good menstrual cycle tracking app out there called @dripapp that won't leak any data (such as a pattern suggestive of an abortion) with any law enforcement agency because *it doesn't have access to your data to begin with*.

I'd rather encourage people to drop Flo or other apps for Drip than encourage non-menstruating people to install Flo and input fake data in the hope that it will make abnormal cycle patterns harder to detect.

Here's a fun #3D layered text effect on @codepen https://codepen.io/thebabydino/pen/vYMdzVy

No text duplication whatsoever, no text-shadow, no JS, no images save for CSS gradients.

All done with #CSS gradients, transforms & #SVG #filter magic! 🪄

Also an entry for this week's
#CodePenChallenge.

Attachments:

• All caps multilayer 3D text. Top layer has a dots pattern and an outline as well as a tiny extrusion for this pattern and outline, the next two have gradient fills and a 3D extrusion, while the back one is just a hashed layer. DevTools panel open on the right to show there's no text duplication and no JS at play. The text is contenteditable, so the recording shows it being edited.

Are you tired of seeing strange attractors? Because I am not. After animating the attraction parameters, I decided to do something different: increase the point count to four million to create a more surface-like structure, find interesting shapes and then play around with single source lighting and materials.

Speaking as someone living in Hungary, to friends in the #USA:

The greatest weapon the system has is outrage fatigue. Doing so many unimaginable things at the same time that people just sigh and go on. Having so many things to protest that you run out of days and hours. Piling on so you start focusing on surviving with your bare mental health day to day.

Pick your cause and stick to it. Support others who focus on different causes. Don't try to do everything at once.
