DC cop convicted for tipping off Proud Boys about police operations - Boing Boing:
"Lt. Shane Lamond, the DC cop who thought his job monitoring extremist groups meant becoming their biggest groupie, has been found guilty of leaking police secrets to his BFF Enrique Tarrio of the Proud Boys."
Weird framing. This isn’t a cop turned fanboy, this is an infiltration. https://boingboing.net/2024/12/23/dc-cop-convicted-for-tipping-off-proud-boys-about-police-operations.html

- A cartoon of a cat and a dog standing by a Christmas themed gift bag, red with a green Xmas tree on it. The cat asks the dog "This bag is empty, did you just get me an empty bag?" The dog replies "Yes" In the second frame of the cartoon the cat has climbed in the bag and, to the dog, says "I love it so much" (remote)

Trump posits invading other nations & CNN frames it as "Suggested a territorial expansion?" What?!
It is no wonder people are tired of corporate legacy media and their whitewashing of dictatorship. (CNN ratings are down 52% btw).

The meaning of Luigi’s Fresh Taper cut fade | toureshow (IG Reels):
"This is a jailhouse message that he [Luigi Mangione] is cared for, he is protected, he is respected within that inmate class […] this is the kind of guy that the other prisoners are rooting for."
Thought it would be pertinent to shed some light on who makes up the “inmate class,” and the lengths Pennsylvania cops will take to lock up ... https://micro.fromjason.xyz/2024/12/23/the-meaning-of-luigis-fresh.html

- Philomena Cunk stand beside a Santa statue and explains: The good children will get lots of presents and so, it turns out, will the bad children. In fact, the only ones who won't get very much are the poor children and that's because Santa judges a child's goodness based largely on parental income. (remote)

One of the most convincing examples of "why shoot RAW". The left shot here is a processed RAW which clearly shows the central star as red, which matches what it looked like in reality, as best as I can remember. The right one is a camera JPEG, where the red hue is completely lost from this particular spot. Interestingly, two different phones we had with us were also showing it as yellow.
Camera processors are smart, but not that smart.

I don't think the "president Musk" gambit is going to work this time. It worked with Bannon in 2017 because it was genuine and unexpected, and Trump overreacted. This time "the left" laid into it so soon and so heavy-handed, Trump has already shown he's seeing through this. He's just going to mercilessly mock "the left" for desperately willing it to happen.
("The left" here vaguely meaning opposition to Trump, couldn't find a good name.)

Mastodon FeedIf you're curious how #Mastodon is doing by the numbers, the 2023 Annual Report is finally here. How large is our budget, and where does it go? Who works on Mastodon? For all of this and more, we've got an answer--at least as far as 2023 goes.
