Regarding the #LosAngeles protests:

I feel strongly that the _only_ way the #Trump regime can truly be defeated is via mass protests.

When Hitler took over the Weimar Republic, there _weren't_ any large-scale protests. Most Germans just went along with it and minded their own business, and thus the Nazis could do whatever they wanted.

But if there are mass protests in the streets - as there are currently in the USA, then this sends a powerful message to the supporters of the regime. Remember how quickly Google, Facebook, and other companies bent their knees at the inauguration and afterwards? That's because they figured they had much to gain by supporting Trump, and there were little in the way of negative consequences for doing so.

Mass protests send a different message. They show that there is real anger and wrath in the general public about what Trump is doing, and this makes clear to all the quislings that there is a real price to supporting Trump. Maybe some of them will reconsider, and become less conciliatory to the government.

And this goes for the rest of society, too. Police, military, the courts - none of them are immune to public opinion. If they believe they have nothing to lose from subservience to Trump, then they will do so. But if there is a real cost - in public perception, in self-image, and so forth - then maybe they will question their orders.

Anyway: Godspeed, and keep it up.

One crow approaches another, let's call it Al and the other one Fred. Al says: "Hey––can I talk to you?" "Yeah, what's up?" says Fred. "In... private?" whispers Al. Fred responds "Anything you need to say to me, you can say to the guys... they're cool!". We zoom out to see two house sparrows "Plus, they don't understand a word we say". Al replies "Alright, well... I need to show you something in the bush. Can they just wait here?" "Okay" says Fred "Tweet tweet chirp tweet cheep"
We focus on the silent, unresponsive pair of sparrows. While digging through the shrub, Al continues: "I saw a human walking out of a store with... THIS!" pulling a tattered and bloodied copy of "Ew, It's Beautiful: A False Knees Comic Collection" from the leaves. The cover has a drawing of two crows staring at the reader. Fred exclaims "What in the identity-thefting hell?? That's US! The guys are going to flip out when they see this". Both crows are now looking down at the book, mirroring the image on the cover. "We do look good though" states Al.

Really sad to hear that Bill Atkinson passed away. He's an incredibly important figure in the early development of GUIs, including his work on LisaGraf and QuickDraw. He was 72. https://www.facebook.com/bill.atkinson.9862/posts/pfbid02t4hRyjZM8oHuc8xubRmYEFcRJ5ievEnDabWSPY5qvdPjWoxNbuTSu2wP2wVK4uFjl

Facebook post by Bill Atkinson: Dear Friends and Family, We regret to write that our beloved husband, father, and stepfather Bill Atkinson passed away on the night of Thursday, June 5th, 2025, due to pancreatic cancer. He was at home in Portola Valley in his bed, surrounded by family. We will miss him greatly, and he will be missed by many of you, too. He was a remarkable person, and the world will be forever different because he lived in it. He was fascinated by consciousness, and as he has passed on to a different level of consciousness, we wish him a journey as meaningful as the one it has been to have him in our lives. He is survived by his wife, two daughters, stepson, stepdaughter, two brothers, four sisters, and dog, Poppy.

We can say all kinds of great things about Lenovo's work in Fedora - how they collaborate with the community in our spaces, how they work with developers for testing or finding bugs, and more.

But the most important thing is for you to buy their laptops. If you're thinking about buying a new ThinkPad, look for the Linux config on their website and buy it there. It sends the signal that people are interested in preloaded Linux hardware.

Star Trek The Original Series scene. We're in a red lit away planet room. Kirk is standing and talking to a woman in an up-do haircut wearing a shimmery dress. Scotty is standing behind them looking suspicious. Uhura sitting in the background listening intently. Kirk's hands are extended out in a 'what gives?' motion. Closed caption reads, "Please explain unhappy."

#doodle #yaombaaa

Doodle of a goblin character whose head is about the same size as the rest of its body, giving it the appearance of a toddler. It seems to be barely standing on its stubby little legs and appears to be waving with its stubby little arm. But it's possible it's just trying to maintain its balance. It has some curly horns and a curly patch of hair with droopy ears. It has big eyes and a friendly open expression on its face, but you might still want to be wary of it.

Your art history post for today is: “The Bride,” 1873, manufactured by the W. T. Copeland & Sons pottery company after an original sculpture by Raffaelle Monti (1818–1881), porcelain, 15 inches (38 cm) tall, The Fitzwilliam Museum, The University of Cambridge. #arthistory

From the museum: “Raffaele Monti (1818-81) specialized in carving marbles with illusionistic veils. The Bride was derived from the head of a full-length marble of a kneeling Veiled Vestal of 1847.”

From the museum website: “Parian porcelain, slip cast bust of 'The Bride'. The circular socle is made separately and is held to the bust by a brass screw, nut, and washer. The bride faces front and looks downwards. She has a veil over her head which falls down over her face and breast at the front, and over her shoulders at the back. It is held in place by a wreath of orange-blossom flowers tied at centre back with a bow.” (Socle: a base for a small sculptures.)
