@msquebanh One of the core matters of racism is that deep down they feel that you have to do the work for them and they don't have to do anything.

Lovely detail, although she seems to be standing atop a castle looking in the distance with a sense of longing... I wonder who she was in real life.

Also, what's the irregular blob with biological aspect and interstitial spider webs below her, and to the left of the big letter?

Senators, protesters assail Blinken over Biden administration's Israel policy

Netanyahu or not, Blinken is still getting away with genocide. For now.

I hope Americans understand how throughly they are being lied to. Long-ago Israel passed a law barring any cases from Gaza being tried in Israel court so Blinken, Miller, and Biden saying that Israel has jurisdiction and the implication that has the ability to try cases is a bold face lie.

Wolves petitioning to remove VAR. VAR removes Semedo. For me, it’s not a red. But the precedent has been set (VAR vs Curtis Jones, 2023)

vruz,
@vruz@mastodon.social avatar

@mlawton Four measurements to tell whether it was a red:

  1. Semedo inequivocally made contact with Mac Allister. How strong was it?
  2. How high was the contact on Mac Allister's foot or leg?
  3. How distant was the ball when he made contact?
  4. How clear is it that Semedo aimed for the ball?

In my view it's loud and clear a red.

Wolves can request VAR to be removed for many other reasons, but not today so far.

I'm nonplussed about the garbage that's coming out of the fascistic section of the Democratic Party who are now trying hard to accommodate the apologetics of genocide of their dear leader.

Besides, it's not only me, also State Department officials who have resigned in disgust, not wanting to become complicit in flagrant violation of international law.

In 1917, President Woodrow Wilson authorized roughly 75,000 American citizens to deliver 4-minute speeches about why the U.S. should enter the Great War. They were called the 4 Minute Men (though some were women and children). The "four minute" monicker came from the length of time it took to change reels in a movie theater, where these speeches were delivered. In case you thought Americans had short attention spans now -- welp, we did over a century ago too. https://www.loc.gov/exhibitions/world-war-i-american-experiences/about-this-exhibition/over-here/surveillance-and-censorship/four-minute-men/

The following year, war had ended, but that wasn't the only thing Wilson would do as it became apparent immediately after.

In the most glorious "fuck you" I have seen in a while, you know the book that Cumberland City Council banned because they're homophobic bigots - Holly Duhig's "A focus on Same Sex Parents"? Well, the publisher, BookLife Publishing, have made a PDF version of the book available for free.

Sure be a shame if it was shared far and wide now, wouldn't it?

Every time you ban a book filled with hope and kindness, and care and love, we will resist.

The NYT ran a post by the editorial board called ‘A Failure of Leadership in American Universities’, and it is true, American universities have failed to protect students and the right to protest genocide, but that’s not what they mean because the NYT itself is a failure in every way

I momentarily misread that as 'a failure in an ivory way', and somehow that makes sense as well.

This is tricky. I’d love for Klopp to win a third time , and you could make an argument, but really Unai Emory has to win from this list.

@mlawton @BillSaysThis

In my view, Arteta has overperformed too. I didn't expect Arsenal to be the most resilient of the top three teams today.

Even if the title eventually goes to Guardiola –and I really hope it does not– Arteta will still be the top performer of the other three Spaniards.

That can never be a bottle. If somebody tells you that that's a bottle, it's because they can't tell a bottle from a jar.

Klopp has never lost a Premier League game in the merry, merry month of May, having won nine and drawn four of the 13 top-flight matches he has overseen in the fifth month of the year.

Leaked State Dept. Memo: Israel Likely Violates International Law Using US Arms

We have excellent players, we had an incredible season, and next season we will have Champions League football, and a clean slate again. Having fought for the title on top of that was way more than most of us would have asked when the season started.

I'm grateful for everything Jürgen has done, and it does seem that it's a good time for him to get a much deserved rest. No one at LFC has deserved it more in a long time.

The most personal data from more than 13 million people who have healthcare from Kaiser Permanente was given to Microsoft, Google and others. How? Looks like Kaiser's web/mobile applications went all in with the spyware Big Tech seeds into everything it can.

https://www.theregister.com/2024/04/26/kaiser_patient_data/

The people who run Kaiser should lose their jobs for this. They won't. They'll blame some underlings who won't be held accountable in any real way.

What would you consider as the most recognizable bitmap fonts in tech history?

I’m imagining stuff like:

  • the arcade/Atari font
  • Chicago (Mac, then iPod)
  • VCR/video equipment fonts
  • Minecraft font
  • IBM PC fonts (MDA, VGA, stuff like that)
  • perhaps System font from Windows 3.x
  • Commodore 64, just because of the sheer popularity of the machine

What am I missing?
