A fist grabs the handle of a sword that is in a stone.
Panel 2:
A muscle-bound figure lifts up the sword and lightning strikes it. Two hooded figures look on.
Panel 3:
One of the hooded figures says "Finally, a warrior with the strength to wield the sword of legacy code maintenance"
Panel 4:
The muscle-bound person is holding the sword and looks cartoonish now and says "The sword of what?"

MY BODY IS A MACHINE meme edited to be about Discord.
Original image is a skeleton squatting with a barbell. The image is edited to have the Discord logo over the skull.
It reads:
My body is a

that turns
Image from Discord which reads “Quick deletion: Identity documents submitted to our vendor partners are deleted (quickly)– in most cases, immediately after age confirmation.

I'm already looking for alternatives. So far, Stoat and Matrix are on the short list. Any other suggestions?
@Xedrik irc?
@Xedrik a coworker setup a hosted Matrix + Element on a linod server that he likes except the noise suppression on voice calls isn't great.
Stoat is being hugged to death. Not sure if they will wind up being a good alternative, but it is taking days for them to send out the email verification links.
Matrix seems to be okay, but I can't imagine non dorks feeling too happy with it. They make you verify sessions and such between devices and flag unverified sessions which results in it always seeming like there is some kind of security nightmare happening.

IRCv3 has been adding many modern chat elements, like emoji reactions and easier replies.

A few of us sort of jokingly suggested IRC, but we have several users in our friends group who already struggle to keep up on Discord, so I worry that might be just too much. And, we've come to rely on certain features like posting images, and scrolling way back in chat history, which I honestly don't know if modern IRC supports or not. I'll admit, it's been 30 years since I've used IRC, so much may have changed!

Bud Cort and Ruth Gordon in Harold and Maude
Bud Cort, the actor best known for his role in dark comedy Harold and Maude, has died at the age of 77. According to Variety, Cort died in Connecticut after a long illness.
He was originally discovered by Robert Altman when he was part of a revue and the director cast him in both M*A*S*H and Brewster McCloud.
His role in Hal Ashby’s Harold and Maude, which saw him play a death-obsessed young man who develops a relationship with Ruth Gordon’s 79-year-old Holocaust survivor, earned him Golden Globe and Bafta nominations.

You've been seeing this fabulous person, now known as Nor, since they were tinier than you can make out in this image even at full zoom. It's time to order the physical print of this photo so we have it on hand for round SIXTEEN in March, and I realized that (I think) I forgot to share it here last year! Stay tuned for the next one soon.
This is such a fantastic idea.
@bencmeissner What you said!!
Oh, I love this idea!
I did this with iPads for each of my kids birthdays but yours has turned out much better!
@3rdparty the very first one of ours was with an ipad too!
Happy belated quinceañera, Nor!

A black and white screen print of an image of Uncle Sam using his left hand to roll up his sleeves on his right arm with the clear intention of using fisticuffs. His vest is made of stars and his pants are made of stripes. To the top right are the words "ICE OUT of MN". In the lower right are an image of the Nazi flag, an ICE agent and two KKK members in full hoods.
A designer friend made this poster and some stickers.
I'll bury in this post two things: (1) ICE is still here, terrorizing the city; news reports of drawdowns or them leaving "within days" are bogus.
(2) I made a suggestion to the Minneapolis Institute of Art that they should hold an exhibition of community art, like in this post, after the occupation is over and we told fascism to go fuck itself.

We could also make a hell of a compilation album of protest songs.
There was a nasty crash a couple of miles from me yesterday when ice chased someone through a residential neighborhood and destroyed their car, the driver taken away by ambulance. Indeed, nothing has calmed down yet.

@wjcstp Hell yes! A protest album would be fantastic.
I've noticed that finding current videos/photos of protests & ICE in MN has gotten extremely difficult, even ones I know exist. The algorithm killers have suuuuure turned up preventing news getting out there. :(
Which makes this morning's news even more doubtful - please keep us updated on how many ICE agents actually remain behind after they end their "surge".

@williwaw I'm not on social media but I've heard that as well.
I haven't watched the press conference yet, but yes, the general consensus around here so far is "we'll believe it when we see it for our own eyes and then still keep watching and protecting our neighbors". We are certainly not stupid enough to believe the folks who continually lie about basically everything.

Epstein survivors who haven't had chance to meet with DOJ to raise hands as AG Bondi testifies
All the Epstein survivors in the room stand up and raise their hands when asked to do so if they've not been asked to meet with the DOJ as Attorney General Pam Bondi testifies before the House Judiciary Committee in Washington, D.C. on February 11, 2026. The man holding his hand up is Virginia Guieffe's brother. When twice asked to look at the victims, Bondi refused to do so, and just took a sip of her water or started yelling about stock market numbers.

****If you live in a state where many of these crimes took place, reach out to your state reps! There's plenty of power in states and municipalities doing their own investigating that is apparently, as opined by those who know more than I do how things work, being under-utilized. Even if you're cynical about anything happening *cough Florida cough*.

In the last few days a number of women in Congress have been on video or audio talking about what they saw in the unredacted files. Every single one of them, from both parties - including fucking Lauren Boebert - were furious and horrified. Many of them had been crying and were barely keeping it together to not cry again. Some seemed outright traumatized.
And yet this woman, who has seen *all* of the files, has had the most despicable, morally reprehensive, and unprofessional behavior from a witness I think I've ever seen in a Congressional hearing. She puts even Kavanagh to shame with her theatrics, DARVOing, and outright arrogant ignoring of questions. She truly is Trump's Ghislaine Maxwell.

The moment @williwaw is referring to: https://youtu.be/nVyN4Fsj...
I’ve never been prouder of my awesome congresswoman, nor more disgusted by the duplicitous shittiness of a criminal-enabling Trump lickspittle.

@MackReed And as vile as Bondi's behavior was, the bravery of those women behind her for standing up and being there created an incredible contrast.

After years of prodigious lasagna production I’ve learned that a good one is a lot like soup. It ought to rest and allow the flavors to coalesce and the starch to settle. Reheat it in the microwave* and finish it with fresh cheese under the broiler.
*some might scoff but there are few things that can do as good a job of reheating cold food as the radar range. Alternatively you can put it in a covered cast iron or nonstick over really low heat then under the broiler.
Another thing that makes all the difference; buy good canned tomatoes. Buy the Italian ones. From San Marzano. Not American ones that are “Italian style” those are an abomination. They are 30%water.
Cento brand in the yellow cans.
Life is too short.
Cheers.

worn console label reading "cock position"
A long time ago, on teh internets, a discussion arose, over a pair of "friends" who seemed to be a unit, maybe in a decreped state, but I forget the fine details, except for their names. He was, "HangsWayTo The Left," and she was "Hosebeast." This was way back when everything was new, and sparkled, somewhat.
Flup it!
DO NOT BLOCK
I’m firmly convinced that the phrase “Turn me on” is about position.

four-panel color comic. Panel 1, a young person with long brown hair, in a dimly lit space, seems absorbed by something they're watching. Panel 2, a cathode ray tube TV screen showing Charlie Brown appearing alienated from a circle of peers outside. Panel 3, close-up of Charlie Brown looking stricken. Panel 4, close-up of long-haired young person, their eyes welling with tears.

An image of the following text:
The Seattle City Attorney’s Office reached a settlement last week with the family of Jaahnavi Kandula, who was struck and killed in a South Lake Union crosswalk in January 2023 by a Seattle Police Department officer traveling 74 miles an hour. In September 2024, the family brought a lawsuit against the City of Seattle and SPD officer Kevin Dave for $110 million, plus an additional $11,000.
The settlement totals at least $29 million, plus at least $11,000, according to a source familiar with its details.
The added figure in the suit was in reference to callous remarks made by SPD officer Daniel Auderer, vice chairman of the Seattle Police Officers Guild at the time, who had been called to the scene to investigate Dave for signs of intoxication. Caught on body cam video in conversation with police union leader Mike Solan, Auderer joked and laughed about Kandula’s death, saying, “Just write a check. $11,000. She was 26, anyway. She had limited value.”

How the fuck are the SPD not just a gigantic financial drain on this city? We'd be better off completely abolishing the police. Hire a few traffic control folks, a bunch of social workers, and save the city 100s of millions in lawsuits.
* and by 'this city' I think I mean 'probably any city' as this seems SOP everywhere: fuck up, take zero responsibility, have taxpayers pay up.
