Great news, everybody! Google has approved the updated XScreenSaver Privacy Policy. I assume that this means that they find it 100% factual and endorse it entirely.
"So when I noticed that Evan Prodromou, co-editor of ActivityPub (and vocal advocate for Meta's adoption of the protocol), has had a full-time position at a non-profit called the OpenEarth Foundation since May 2022, I was curious to know what it was all about. Plus, based on the name, I genuinely worried that I might have misjudged him. So I decided to take a look - and risk feeling the discomfort you get when you realize you've been (loudly) wrong about someone. Because hey, humble pie is ultimately nutritious, even if it's kind of hard to swallow.
But after digging deeper and deeper into this organization, I've come to see the OpenEarth Foundation's approach to environmental issues as being at best misguided and ineffective, and at worst, actively harmful, not only when it comes to climate change mitigation efforts, but also to social progress more generally."

Many so-called "pre-code" films, generally early sound films prior to strict enforcement of the motion picture code around 1934, contain scenes that would still be controversial today, both in terms of horror and sexually-oriented activities. Some of these films are quite famous, but there are also some oddities that are relatively little known. One example of the latter is "I Cover the Waterfront" (1933), that in one sequence features what can only be described as semi-consensual bondage between a couple visiting the "dungeon" on an old prison ship.
This was made with a DSLR and a swinging lens to provide selective focus on the milepost at left. This moved the plane of focus to be non-parallel with camera, yielding only a sliver in focus.
Image was was captured at "Park Junction" in Philadelphia, where the former Reading Railroad once met the former Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. What caught my eye was the old school graffiti moniker on the base of the milepost, in a style traditionally used by yard workers and hobos to tag freight cars.
