July 4th is very rough on my dog (he is a royalist and considers George Washington a traitor)

I didn’t expect to get into it this much, but it’s fun to work with the limitations of the camera! I also actually like aspects of this camera, it’s extremely small and compact with a built-in flash (even if it overexposes half the time).

Over at the Bad Place, I made a tradition of posting Douglass' "What, To The Slave, Is The Fourth of July," and I intend to carry on that tradition here. Since most versions you read in classes or in textbooks have parts omitted, the link below has the full text of the speech.

For the Shitty Camera Challenge over on Mastodon I've been posting piccies taken with a truly glitchy old Olympus Camedia C-100. From the same day here's a digital aerochrome from the Canon Powershot G5 (5MP, c.2005). #ShittyCameraChallenge

Bluesky's apocablock makes being quote posted much less risky -- if you get QPed by an asshole and block them, their followers can't see your post, or even who posted it. So it's a lot more common here to QP positively -- because the QP dunk just gets you blocked -- and folks are more cool with it.

Doomer shit is un-American as fuck. Sorry. Factual. This country didn't even consider me a fucking person for half its existence, and the Supreme Court declared Black ppl didn't qualify as US citizens TWICE.

Americans across the political spectrum are all deeply mired in “apocalypse realism”, in which it is easier to imagine the end of the world than to imagine the world not ending. This widespread imaginary just happens to motivate the people who want the world to end while depressing everyone else.

I strongly believe that the Trump era ushered in a truly horrific era of general ethical backsliding and nihilism in the US across all fronts, one that we still can’t even entirely wrap our brains around. (And Trump’s grotesquely evil approach to Covid made it even worse).

I made a Ruby and Rails Starter Pack. It’s not super active yet, but hopefully that will change.

I wasn’t expecting such a reasonable conclusion: “If this is so, the handwringing should cease, and we should use the debate as a reminder of how common such reactions are rather than an indication that the president is chronically debilitated.”

Starter Packs are a nice boost for getting people started on this site to get past the "empty graph" issues of a new network.

It is pretty disappointing and/or telling how the last decade+ of research into media manipulation, authoritarian lies, extremist propaganda, disinfo tactics, etc has done absolutely nothing to change the way that medias operate and (fail to) respond to manipulation tactics. Like watering a stone.

I hope everyone [not on Bluesky] realizes what a fucking non-option RFK Jr. is. It’s hard to fathom but I don’t know how closely people are paying attention.
