@jwz No. No, it is not too soon. It is, in fact, about goddamn time. :D

I'm over my temper tantrum.

Unfortunately I was enjoying a lovely break on the beach, logged into Mastodon and saw some ugly.

I have been promising myself to start moving away from commenting on what is happening in the moment and talk about more general legal issues. It invites less anger and hate.

Like everyone else, I'm relieved that it wasn't a hung jury or acquittal.

I have no doubt there will be an appeal because there are appealable issues.

But appealable does not mean winable.

@Teri_Kanefield I thought your analysis was informative and important to read, even if I hoped it wouldn't go the way you described it could.

The Federation is in no way immune to haters. Fuck 'em.

to those of y'all saying, nothing is gonna happen on July 11th, here's the thing:

🗣️ 📣 TAKE EVERY WIN ONE AT A TIME

YES, the man wasn't thrown in jail unlike millions of others working class shmucks; especially the Blacker & browner ones.

NO, this is not the time to shit on a win. this is the time to reckon not prosecuting more white-collar crimes since the 1990s, BY RICH OLD WHITE AMERICAN GUYS, is why USA is now ran by a fascist conspiracy of Wall Street, Techbro and Christofascist mafias.

'We Did the Same Thing,' US Official Says After Israel's Rafah Massacre

The White House appears to be arguing, “George Bush should be prosecuted for committing war crimes in Iraq,” and for the record, I think that’s a great idea.

HEY LOCALS: There's another minor revision update for mastodon, I'll be rolling that in; it should be another upgrade-in-place and you probably won't notice. But if you get a brief outage, that's the move to 4.2.9, refresh your browser.

And done, that seemed fine.

doing this does include all of Seattle's map...

mind you what i really need for this is a dragon that's riding a bicycle

but i'm not commissioning that i don't have any money right now xD

if anyone's wondering why the MEGAMAP tag is where it is it's because the King County chunk has some text under there that refers entirely to shit off map and would be a monumental pain in the arse to remove

so I didn't

I just covered it up :D

moira,
@moira@mastodon.murkworks.net avatar

I think it's kinda funny how Mercer Island is assembled from three different maps

Seattle's map provides a flag grey expanse they barely bothered to label, King County's says "yeh there's some roads and a couple of parks I guess" and 2 Line says HERE IS EVERYTHING WE CAN FIND xD

seattle wanting you to know that they do not give a single solitary fuck about mercer island is hilarious to me

moira, (edited )
@moira@mastodon.murkworks.net avatar

oh dang i forgot

king county's map only does major regional recrational trails but that still gets you a link area that I can use for the big gap area

AND

gets me a complete Lake Washington Loop

this is an entire category of device i had no idea even existed!

moira, (edited ) to cycling
@moira@mastodon.murkworks.net avatar

y'know i should remember

just because king county doesn't do a real bike map anymore

they still do maintain a regional trails map

and i can still USE THAT if I don't have anything ELSE

The fate and future of a former president is in the hands of 12 regular citizens and really whatever they decide (which I only hope they do earnestly and with a focus on the law, as if this was just some guy) that's a lovely thing isn't it?

I hope it happens again and again and again!

@futurebird Indeed. Well put.

I hope people get that Nikki Haley went over there to make everything as much worse as possible.

Those pics of her scribbling those obscenities on bombs will circulate for years.

This was intentional.

You get that, right? She's a former UN ambassador. Like Nixon sabotaging peace talks in Vietnam and Reagan working to keep US hostages in Iran, she knows exactly what she did.

This was intentional.

Biden's been pushing Netanyahu towards a two-state solution for months and despite the "Genocide Joe" crowd's crap, he's pushed back more on Israeli militarism more than any US president ever just by doing it at all.

This was sabotage. It was intentional. AGAIN.

DON'T repeat the same mistakes. DON'T reward it AGAIN.

@jenk3 Doesn't matter. I mean, okay, it matters some. But oil is fungible and the market is global, and any sudden surprise in demand - or supply -affects us plenty.

And more, our refineries aren't actually super great at our own oil and many can't even process it because most of 'em - well, lots of 'em, enough that it's a big deal - got built in the Saudi Arabia era.

Oil has to stop mattering, and the sooner, the better.

Is part of the internet off on holiday? About half or more of my feed isn't loading images and/or avatars. The rest of it is fine. And I can load up some websites fine and some don't load at all. (On Firefox/Android/city internet wifi)

@kinsale42 There's more than the usual DDOSing going around right now, I don't know all the targets but it wouldn't surprise me if people are seeing issues in general.

@moira@mastodon.murkworks.net avatar

with the current beta (now de facto RC1) of the megamap, i included more of the seattle map by making the infobox in the lower right taller

https://solarbird.net/blog/2024/05/25/megamap-1-2-preview-beta-rc-maybe/

but I still had to cut off a bit of the southernmost parts of Seattle to keep it square

kinda thinking of making an extra version that has the full Seattle map on the left and a bunch of open space centre and right, and labelling it "Here there be dragons, and also, Renton"

i suspect strongly this is another case of Only Funny to Moira but it is funny to me
