The view from a Zoom meeting: a dark gray background with two people in the meeting. The video screens are stacked one on the other. The upper person's video screen is completely black, with a small, red crossed-out-microphone icon that indicates they are muted. The label on the screen says "God" in small, white letters. The lower video screen shows a girl with long dark hair and a dark short-sleeved shirt. She is in a small room with a few dimly visible posters on the wall. The entire scene is rendered in shades of pale blue that suggest a dark room lit only by a computer screen. Her name is displayed as "Margaret", and there is a green border around her video screen, indicating that she is speaking. Someone familiar with classic children's novels will recognize this as a reference to the book "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret", by Judy Blume, whose birthday is today. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
God! You're muted! GOD!!!
Judy is my real mom

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!

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.
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!
It took us literally years to get our old people to understand using Discord instead of Facebook was not going to ruin their phones or be so confusing they wouldn't be able to participate in discussions. I'm so tired. 😞
@Xedrik Honestly not joking about IRC.
Check out https://www.neatnik.net/setting-... to see how easy it is to set up and host an IRCv3 server that supports message history (no bouncer required), emoji recations, image uploads, and other IRCv3 features.
After that, it's as simple as recommending a good IRC app with decent IRCv3 feature support, like https://goguma.im (my daily driver) or https://halloy.chat
IRC today has far surpassed what IRC was decades ago.
And, while setting up and managing a server is a bit more difficult than moving to someone else's service, owning your own community will prevent surprises in the future (like what Discord is doing right now).

@macmanx hmm: 34 steps, including DNS setup and cryptic weird shit like "established network name" (wot?) ... is this a "just use linux!" thing?
(I've been a Linux user since 1995. I realized that about quarter of the way through, I stopped understanding what each stage did, so I'd be copypasting stuff I didn't understand.)

@scruss Yep, small price to pay for owning your own community, still easier than it was decades ago. Not cryptic if you move from step 1 to step 2, and so on.
oh ffs
@scruss Sorry, that was a bit rude of me, but you also could have just not drive-by shat on my attempt at a helpful comment.
Seems like that’s happening more in general around here anyway.

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.

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.

alternate cover art for the 25th anniversary edition of ida's 2000 album "will you find me". this one features the four band members standing in a forested area, looking at the camera. above the band members' heads, the numero group logo has been stamped, along with the catalog number 2314.
somehow this gigantic, comprehensive anniversary re-release snuck past me.
"will you find me" was a miraculous record then, and it's miraculous now. gentle, sexy, introspective, flowing, sincere: it's a little bit of everything, but in a strangely cohesive way.
my friend dereck played the tracks"shotgun" (https://www.youtube.com/watch...) and "shrug" (https://www.youtube.com/watch...) for me when it came out, and i was immediately sold. the cd frequently lived in my car, on my home stereo, on every ipod i owned. it was woven into the sound of my life for many years: sleepless nights, long drives and grueling commutes.

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.
