A large gathering of cyclists with various protest signs denigrating the American I.C.E. thugs.
A hundred or do of us gathered in solidarity on Saturday afternoon joining a nation-wide ride for Alex
bencmeissner
I heard there were thousands on a ride here in Minneapolis.
^^That was not intended to come off as downplaying your ride. Thank you for joining in solidarity.
Also, how do you not have any snow?

It was cool to see so many memorial rides happening all over the country this weekend.

A photo of singing protesters in downtown Minneapolis. The top of the image shows some skyscrapers. On the right is part of the Westminster Presbyterian Church where we started. The protesters line the whole block. In the foreground is a sign that reads "Stop the Violence"
Today's singing action was planned to tell ICE agents that they can quit and come over to the good side. More than 1500 of us stopped in front of downtown hotels where they are known to be staying to sing to them songs telling how they don't have to keep being the bad guys.
It was a nice end to a day that started with agents illegally* staging in Powderhorn Park where they got really scared by us calling them names so they had to use tear gas and pepper spray and call in back up to help them get out of the park where they were staging illegally while telling _us_ to leave. I have pictures of that, but they were sent to the park board and the county attorney and I don't want to make you lovely people see them.

A bright, moonlit winter night. The full moon hangs in a slightly cloudy sky. A slight tinge of white reflects off the wisps of dull blue clouds. The Groke, a formless dark creature with a large nose, trudges up a snow-covered hill, casting a blue shadow in the moonlight. The Groke is holding a phone in one large paw and staring at it, yellow eyes fixed on the white screen. It's light, all right, but entirely without warmth. A dark treeline is visible over the hill. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

an ai-generated image supposedly of multiple outlet tee adapters with almost a dozen USB wall warts plugged in. The image is clearly AI generated because one can see that a few cords are attached to nothing. some of the USB transformers don't have slots for USB ports. Two of the usb plugs are curved. one of the cables changes color. Two cables end abruptly.
explanation of telltales that https://mltshp.com/p/1RJI7 is AI slop
A - usb wall warts with no USB socket
B - cables abruptly end
C - usb plugs are bent/curved
D - cables going nowhere
E - cable changes color/thickness
I didn't get in to the strangely cylindrical USB plugs going in to rectangular sockets, or cursed object at the very end of the daisy chain. but anyway

I hate how much effort AI slop adds to the simple activity of looking at internet nonsense.
👏👏👏
@fnerg I'm struggling with it too. It actually angers me that I have to check.
I'm bummed at how often it's showing up here, and also increasingly resigned, I guess?
@B6FA798A3449 that seems like a thing we should talk about as a community then! Do you have access to the mltshp slack?
@vosechu I do not! Would look in, just because I value this community a great deal.

Furgus and some 80s skate style
Is that the catasaurus? We got one for our fuzzballs and it was an instant 100% hit with them.
Do you see a bird, or a cat? Be careful how you answer.

CYBERPLAY - Kids internet cafe in Orlando, FL (1995)
“This store resembles a movie set more than a retail space. Theatrical lighting and day-glow colors combine with burnished steel to create an interior design based on the helm of a postulated 23rd-century starship. The store is divided into five areas: "Byte Size Zone," "Random Access Zone," "Data Base," "Tradeport," and "Buffer Zone." Shown is the "Random Access Zone" including 28 computer workstations created for children ages 7 to I 4.The space show-cases a unique trussing infrastructure, hovering sound domes, and punched metal backlit baseboards.”

Dems just flipped a state senate seat in Texas (Ft. Worth area) that's been red since 1992, went for Trump 17+, outspent Dems by 2 million+ and . . . did so 57-43.
57-43.
That's not just a flip but a 30 pt swing.
And those districts that went blue? Heavily Latino.

"Ford Capri, Ford, Capri, Capri Mk2, Terry Davey, Haynes"
cross-sectional (?) illustration of the engine block and interior of a Ford Capri by Terry Davey

plexiglas cars are great when they're new
I always envied technical illustrators who could do these because these predated desktop computers. That’s all Rapidograph pens and ink.
In Oz we called this a Ford Capri.
Mum had one in "Vermillion Fire". A V6 that was huge fun to drive.
Dad worked at Ford so we leased a large range of various models.
After I'd thrashed the Capri to within an inch, M&D got a bit more conservative in car choices, sadly.

wasn't Terry great?
@roonie It was a Ford Capri everywhere

I mean, it seems like he’s always had pronouns. But also, I support he-man’s right to redefine themself as whatever gender feels right.

Art by Stephen Youll. A kneeling male bard/thief type with a dagger in his belt and a long staff and a lady sorceress type are in an autumnal forest. Swords, shields and helmets lay discarded in a field before them. A dragon waits in the mist. Adventure!

Two birds are on a branch. One is some kind of blue bird and one is a pigeon.
Blue says "Hey, a new bird. Haven't seen you here before."
Pigeon replies "I'm from the city."
Blue says "I've heard of that."
Pigeon, eyes closed, says "Yeah, it's cool. There are restaurants."
Blue thinks "Act like you know what that is."
Blue says "I know what that is."
Pigeon says "Nice."
