this adventure is @sam 's fault - he linked to a Dolly Parton cover of House of the Rising Sun (which is awesome) and I got the entire album, and it had a cover of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deportee%5F%28Plane%5FWreck%5Fat%5FLos%5FGatos%29 on it, and it struck me, and then I looked it up... and here we are.

No Kings protests, and anti-regime protests in general, serve two main positive functions: 1) Reminding participants and observers that they’re very far from alone, countering regime efforts to divide and isolate 2) Showing the absurdity of regime lies about the peaceful, pro-democracy opposition

The EU's DMA came into force more than a year ago, but we still don't have real browser choice on iOS because Apple is blocking it. Thankfully, @owa is pulling no punches: "Apple is obstructionist."

Hopefully other regulators clock what's happening and treat Apple's hostility towards interoperability and democratic oversight for what it is:

‘After Ms. Noem’s visit to Portland, Mr. Johnson appeared live on Newsmax from inside the cordoned-off ICE building. He described the building as being in downtown Portland and said that the windows were blacked out and covered with tarps because “Democrats keep shooting sniper rounds into ICE facilities.”

Police have not reported any incidents of sniper fire, and the ICE building sits about two miles from downtown Portland.’

I only boot my desktop into Windows around once a week to use one of three apps: CaptureOne, Affinity Photo, and Affinity Publisher. If this means what I think it means, then two of those are about to get discontinued

El próximo número de @loop_gr tratará sobre religión y folclore, y vendrá acompañado de un devocionario para el cual tuve el placer de ilustrar la portada.

Espero que esta Rennala os anime a echar unas moneditas al crowdfunding para este nuevo bucle de la revista <3

What's interesting about "big tents" is that I've never seen their advocates try to stretch them as far to the left as they do to the right. It's never like "we're sending free laptops to this Maoist insurrectionary group because they have really interesting ideas." It's always about stretching the tent to fit the people advocating for fascism.
