A few have suggested that some aspects of this mission--joy, international teamwork, diversity--are being played up to stick it to the hateful attitude of the administration. But I don't think it's that. I think it's just that those things are essential to and inseparable from a mission like this.

guys

the fucking fuck

the fucking FUCKING fuck

please stop this ride I'd like to get off

I don't understand why people are mad - they tell you how long the "flight" takes - if the bus takes that amount of time does it matter if you're in the air or on the ground?

And for short flights were you spend a large part of the flight taxiing or waiting around anyways it makes sense to bus IMO

Excited for Furrest City Fur Con 2026? Mark your calendars for Sep 19-20th at the Cleveland State University Student Center! More details shall come soon.

Yeah, I got the Minecraft Bananas. Had to ball out for my nutrition

Not sure if this is helpful at all, but Tri-C has ART-1700 Ceramics 1, which is a 3 credit hour course and for a Cuyahoga county resident it should be under $400 for the course

Which IMO is pretty good value assuming the scheduling is good and you want that many hours of ceramics instruction.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

They look great, love the sharp, jagged edges and stark colors, look almost like wood block or similar type print

What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?

Abolish ICE Before They Kill Again, Impeach Trump & Noem Before They Incite More Murder Renee Nicole Good was a 37-year-old award-winning poet, a mother of a six-year-old, and a wife who had recently moved to Minneapolis. That all ended yesterday when a masked ICE agent murdered her i…

Ten years ago, if someone had told me that tech policy bloggers would be calling for ICE to be abolished, I would have thought it very unlikely.

"Abolish ICE" is an increasingly mainstream and extremely correct position.

On Android 16 it works with LSposed-Irena, I have Google maps set to play out my phone speaker instead of Bluetooth and now instead of ducking when Google maps talks my music instead comes out the phone speaker.
However if audio is playing on the same device I suspect it would work.

Yes, I was having some issues initially getting LSposed to recognize the module so I tried the Shizu tools too, and it didn't for me either.

It just made the app I disabled ducking on not play at all.

I just tried the Xposed and it sort of works

If you have Xposed on your phone this exists,
https://github.com/auag0/DisableAudioFocus

But I don't know how many people Xposed installed

I haven't tried this yet, but might try it, because the ducking for maps when driving annoys me a lot.

right but i want this for my phone
while driving, while listening to music
play the notification sound, but don't reduce the volume on the music, or better yet, just play the ringtone out of the phone speaker only
this is like a basic feature

Screenshot from twitter, showing a quote retweet. The original tweet has a photo of carp in bathtub and text "rare childhood christmas memory: not being able to take a bath because theres a carp in the bathtub", with the quote retweet saying "non-slavic people thinking this is a shitpost and not real lmao"

I recently encountered this gem, and it made me realize after 32 years of being alive, that actually putting carp in bathtub is not a thing people all over the world do. Naturally I wanted to share this unhinged custom(which I thought is just a thing everyone experienced) with people.

News Team, Thank you for the notes and texts. I apologize for not reaching out earlier. I learned on Saturday that Bari Weiss spiked our story, INSIDE CECOT, which was supposed to air tonight. We (Ori and I) asked for a call to discuss her decision. She did not afford us that courtesy/opportunity. Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now-after every rigorous internal check has been met is not an editorial decision, it is a political one. We requested responses to questions and/or interviews with DHS, the White House, and the State Department. Government silence is a statement, not a VETO. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed to kill the story. If the administration's refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we

have effectively handed them a "kill switch" for any reporting they find inconvenient. If the standard for airing a story becomes "the government must agree to be interviewed," then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast. We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state. These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless. CBS spiked the Jeffrey Wigand interview due to legal concerns, nearly destroying the credibility of this broadcast. It took years to recover from that "low point." By pulling this story to shield an administration, we are repeating that history, but for political optics rather than legal ones.

We have been promoting this story on social media for days. Our viewers are expecting it. When it fails to air without a credible explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship. We are trading 50 years of "Gold Standard" reputation for a single week of political quiet. I care too much about this broadcast to watch it be dismantled without a fight. Sharyn

What is HAPPENING lmao

Cleveland is facing an impending DISASTER: The RTA will soon begin cutting its transit system.

We've seen the transit death spiral before. Please contact your elected officials to call for Cuyahoga County and the State of Ohio to FUND TRANSIT OPERATIONS

4-panel vertical comic. (1) 100 Years Ago [two people standing next to bicycle with small car nearby] PERSON 1: It’s too dangerous riding a bike with these cars around. I should get a car, too. (2) 50 Years Ago [two people between smaller car and bigger car] PERSON 2 with short hair: Small cars are less safe in collisions with larger vehicles, so I should get a bigger one.

Thank you again to everyone who came to the furwalk last weekend!
We hope to see you again soon for our Ruff&Roll Bike Ride this weekend

Yeah but lots of bsky users are on here for art and such and have feeds with minimal news

I also suspect bsky users on average have a significantly healthier and more diverse news diet so even if they see news on bsky might not consider it to be a news source

and our government works hand in hand with them to consolidate power and get more authoritarian.

Like people thought Smartphones and Twitter and 3D printers and cheap Linux SBCs and MCU development boards would help us build a real democratic techno utopia, all with support from Intel and Google

But the way that personal dignity and liberty was at least in the abstract valued, and the way we hoped the democratization of technology would help us reach a more global, more equitable, and more free society just feels so incredibly dated and naive as our tech billionaires get richer...

But I also wasn't really politically aware until 2014/2015, my family was not particularly political, nor were we effected by 2008, so it's easy for me to look back it through overly rose tinted glasses.

It's easy (for me especially) to look back at the late 2000s and early 2010s as a really amazing time, both in terms technology and politics. We had smartphones maturing but not yet stagnated and evil, Obama was president, the Maker movement was in full swing, gay rights had major wins.

Growing up as a teen in the 2010s I heard a lot about how 'dystopian' the Internet controls were in China but between what's been happening with Tik-Tok and the age and ID verification laws the US and UK are in a race to outdo them.
I subscribed to Mulvad VPN, but am worried about this global trend.

Went to Ingenuity Fest last night with the incredible @peake.bsky.social

It's always a fun space to hangout and check out lots of cool art. He brought his suite so I took some photos
