The irony is not lost on me that the Internet Archive went out of its way to acquire the physical versions of millions of books and loan them out carefully and in a limited way, and is facing a near-extinction-level event over it, while for-profit and VC-backed companies are just stealing people’s content and making up excuses to validate the bad behavior.

I hope Kryptonite don’t have dark secrets, who else will I buy bike locks from if they do 😬

@flexghost those fuckers invaded pdx again and again for years, each time with the help of the cops, each time crossing state lines while articulating intent to do assaults, & each time doing assaults.

when i was young i felt early that if success or money came my way it would be due to luck or advantage, not hard work. other friends who were artists expressed frustrations that seemed confusing to me. now i get that they were trying to build careers. which was smarter than me, but maybe accidentally less perceptive.

Photo Journalist Pete Souza was suspended from X (#Twitter) today for posting a photograph of former President Trump that was published by the Associated Press. The photograph showed Trump's seemingly undamaged ear.

This man has twice worked in the White House as the official photographers of both Ronald Reagan and Barrack Obama. He is a respected professional photojournalist.
