Make a Note: The protests don’t become violent until the police show up.

The police also never arrest the violent infiltrators. Never.

Ergo: The police like the violence, create the violence, arrest the peaceful.

Pondering the parallels between the Christian myth of Adam and Eve approaching a tree with a snake in it and attaining knowledge of good and evil, with the snake and the gained knowledge seen as evil; and the Buddhist myth (new to me) of Mucalinda, meaning the Buddha also sat under a tree with a snake and there also attained enlightenment but here the knowledge so gained is good and the snake is seen as a protector

Could invent some really fun heresies by developing this line of thought further

@mcc I was kicked out at age 7 for asking “the wrong questions” in catechism. My older brother was kicked out too. I asked him why. He shrugged his shoulders and said: “For being related to you. What the hell did you do?” So, you could try asking a question they don’t like.

I was in a terrible mood, so I got churros, and now I'm in a terrible mood but I have churros, which is a strict improvement

@mcc Churros improves anything. If I was on Death Row, I’d order churros for my last meal and eat them in front of everyone. I’d die happy.

I read one of those "kitchen gadgets no one needs" articles a few days ago. The author panned the battery-operated salt & pepper mills especially those with a LED work light. The article was pushing manual grinders.

Just used my rechargable grinders with lights. No need turn on overhead lights. Arthritic hands also appreciated the electric grinders, too. TB fair the article allowed that arthritis was a reason for using electricity.

What do you think about lighted grinders?

@William3rd we are all differently abled. If it is something that will make a simple task less awkward, why not?

nerdetry:

I have a pretty developed and deliberate approach to the photos I make, in that I generally have a fairly clear vision of the final result I want to achieve when I'm capturing something, even for details like contrast and tonality.

Except for color toning. I almost never have any idea whether I will add a sepia tint or whatever. I'm totally ad hoc and inconsistent about this, and I often go back and forth several times before settling on a final version.

@Green_Footballs When comedians give us more factual news & information than the networks or cables talking heads, we need to realize that divestment, the breaking up of powerful monopolies, is actually in our best interests.

Question for Rust programmers:

When you see this sequence of characters in a Rust program:

Never mind whether you would ever say it out loud— in your head, what do you think of the name of this sequence of symbols being? Do you have a name for it at all?

I have an answer but I am curious about yours.

@ai6yr Years ago, before social media, a neighbor had their entire house cleaned out. Someone posted a “Free Furniture! Moving Overseas” notice in the local paper, broke in, unlocked the doors… people showed up, 3 hrs later, house was cleaned out. Those free tickets to Disney World … (Pretty sure it was the ex who did it)

Oops. An NYPD officer accidentally discharged their gun during the removal of protesters from Columbia’s Hamilton Hall. Fortunately no one was hit. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/03/nyregion/nypd-columbia-shooting-hamilton.html?unlocked_article_code=1.pE0.v6lm.u1Vvy-U6J88X&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

@mattblaze Yeah, good thing no one was hit because then they’d have to kill everyone (witnesses) and plant weapons on one of them. They didn’t plan for that contingency, so, Whew!

@ai6yr WILD ANIMALS are NOT Disney Characters. I’ve seen shocking displays of adults putting themselves and their families, even very small children at risk, trying to ‘Pet’ or ‘Feed’ wildlife. It’s like a Darwin Club meeting.

I am going to answer this question for everyone:

https://mastodon.social/@timothyjohnson@mastodon.sdf.org/112349635246409685

My answer is here:

https://mastodon.social/

Remember:

There were possible crimes, but tax and reporting crimes are not election interference.

There is also a circular thing with Cohen and Pecker telling the court that they expected Trump to pay back the hush money payments.

If they expected to get paid back, it was a loan to Trump and not a contribution. Right?

Catawu,
@Catawu@mastodon.social avatar

@Teri_Kanefield My reading of it is that the NY laws regarding campaigns and what constitutes campaign or election interference are pretty much unique to NY and that is where the beef is sandwiched.

Catawu,
@Catawu@mastodon.social avatar

@Teri_Kanefield 😂

Catawu,
@Catawu@mastodon.social avatar

@Teri_Kanefield I’m pretty sure they have a well-laid out case, but if he walks on this one, it will be because of the reasons you have cited. Also, if he is convicted and it is overturned on appeal, again, because of reasoning you have cited. I will be mad, but not at you. ;-)
