Such a lovely sunset during this evening’s 58km ride, you get three pictures, not just one 🥳

Add yesterday’s 67km ride & others earlier, and that makes for 232km this week. Which is decent, all things considered 🤷‍♂️

This is how healthcare works in the US and it'll never get better until capitalism is dead. 😡

"According to the Sheriff’s office, a 68-year-old homeless man with terminal cancer chose to get arrested to get healthcare.

"'He re-committed a crime to get put back in the facility so he could receive treatment,' Owens said."

Sr Airman Roger Fortson was at home when cops entered unannounced & shot him dead 6 times.

The cop claimed he acted in self defense when he saw Fortson holding a firearm—which Fortson legally owned. The cop is on admin leave.

How are you going to illegally break into an innocent man's home unannounced & claim self defense? Horrific injustice.

At least it's not 100% awful. The bill does have at least one redeeming value. Using QR codes to count ballots is just an invitation for fraud. I'm glad someone pointed this out and that someone listened, for a change. This is important. Of course, it'd be better if this took effect this year.

"The legislation eliminates the use of QR codes on ballots for counting purposes but that won’t begin until July 2026. QR code scanning is currently in effect in the state."

So much of Musk's "visionary leadership" is classic mismanagement. He's not just nuking the one area in which he Tesla can lock-in market dominance (the EV chargers), he's doing it in the most chaotic manner possible, without any plan for going forward. https://electrek.co/2024/05/03/read-the-wild-email-tesla-is-sending-to-suppliers-amid-supercharger-chaos/

@maxkennerly

I was a business consultant to some of the most politically-operated organizations in the country —Coca-Cola, The Home Depot, General Electric, AT&T, and others— and I've never seen anything like the way musk does /his own/ business. And if Tesla is this fucked up then consider how also-fucked up (and dangerous) SpaceX and StarLink probably are too. We have thousands of his products, weighing many tons, circling us overhead. Is anyone else worried about that? 😳

IAmDannyBoling,
@IAmDannyBoling@mstdn.social avatar

@thepoliticalcat

I'm glad I haven't known many like him. But I have worked for a few companies led by them.

I couldn't care less if he, himself, unravels. And I don't care much about Tesla since other automakers will step into its place if necessary. And, naturally, I really don't care about xitter. But I'll be kinda sad if SpaceX fails because of his idiocy but only because space rockets are so cool.

I’m trying @librewolf browser and it might seem like a small thing to you all, but they went out of their way to preserve accessibility features for disabled users like myself, whereas other privacy solutions remove accessibility features completely, and their efforts to make sure disabled users have a private focused but accessible browser is more welcome than you can imagine because disabled people need privacy as well. I would argue that disabled people need privacy more. I wish more advocates took accessibility and disability into account the way they have currently. I hope this remains a core mission of theirs

A few brave Singaporeans unfurled this banner in front of the iconic Marina Bay Sands, in a country where any public protest is illegal without prior approval and approved protests are only allowed at one park (and the authorities already said all registered protest applications relating to Gaza will be denied)

If they were foreigners they would almost certainly be deported. As citizens they’ll definitely see some legal action
