My wife picked up a zine that is advertising the fediverse.
This masterpiece took 11 years to create. Artist in the background.

@georgetakei I think America is; the problem is the Republicans. (Not sure what this makes them...)
@jdotcom Is that screenshot for today, or for Jan. 8 (when Good was murdered)? (I'm documenting this on Issuepedia, want to get the details right.)
@georgetakei ...and they were so upset when we removed slaver statues, saying we were "erasing history", but now here they are...
"Every accusation is a confession" meets "It's okay when we do it", I guess.
@riley I was, like, "huh, I don't remember that one" but then I realized it was 8088 (ASM86)* that I worked with, not 8080.
I'm sure I would have absolutely remembered some obscure 8086 instruction from 35 years ago. Definitely and totally.
(*well ok, actually it was the 80486 instruction set. ...you know, with the 8087 "math chip" extensions. So the code could do math.)
@wdlindsy I guess this is the "the Official People wouldn't do this to anyone who didn't deserve it, therefore the people being abused deserve it and also I'm completely safe because I haven't done anything wrong"* phenomenon again. :thisisfine:
(*completely shortcircuiting the question of "why do we believe and trust the Official People to do the right thing?" and basically the whole concept of critical thinking.)
@GhostOnTheHalfShell @sundogplanets

Note also the general strike now taking place in Minnesota -- which, it seems to me, is good practice for doing one nationwide in the near future.
@CptSuperlative "Patriotism", to me, has always seemed like a concept of questionable value.
It's at best a kind of overly-simplistic, overly-limited stand-in for putting the common good over your own self-interest. At worst, it's like religion at its worst: a way of getting people to do horrible things while still believing they're not the baddies.
Here's a collection of free-to-use short music for any kind of project imaginable. I've been working on this project for over 10 years on and off, and it's a labour of love.
Whether you're doing work for TV, Radio, Film, your next podcast, show reel, powerpoint presentation, youtube video or university assignment that requires something to intro or outro it, there should be something for you, and if not you directly, maybe someone you know.
This is not the final form. I add to it whenever I find inspiration to do so. Check back every so often as you may find more content was added when you weren't looking 🔇

“Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.”
