US blocks all offshore wind construction, says reason is classified


arstechnica.com/science/2025/1…

On Monday, the US Department of the Interior announced that it was pausing the leases on all five offshore wind sites currently under construction in the US. The move comes despite the fact that these projects already have installed significant hardware in the water and on land; one of them is nearly complete. In what appears to be an attempt to avoid legal scrutiny, the Interior is blaming the decisions on a classified report from the Department of Defense.

"The implied attack assumes that MFA is not used or has been bypassed. If you can get access to download the encrypted database, like what happens with most password databases that are stolen, you don’t need to deal with MFA (or those pesky password lockouts) when making attempts thereafter."

Instructor who gave U of Oklahoma student a zero on anti-trans paper removed from teaching – @crazyworldhuh on Tumblr


More in the thread, short version, OU is in trouble, alumni are pissed off, so are current staff and students.

I love things like this. At first it doesn't look like much, just a sign for an apartment complex but if you pay attention to the details, it gets really... Funny? Dumb? ?? Luxury apartments are always a rip-off, but they usually put some effort into appearance like a new sign when branding changes, not slapping a cheap sign over the old one. And that logo, is that a recolored PayPal logo?

I'd be curious to see a Venn diagram showing the overlap between people mentioned in the Panama Papers and the Epstein Papers.





Ok, was scrolling after watching a YouTube short, and this came up

Ok, I think they just broke my brain


I mean its not like I would've been surprised to hear the song modified, maybe gayed up if'n it were Dee Snider or George Michael singing it, or for a straight guy replacing Santa Claus with Mrs Claus, but for Nathaniel Ratecliff and the Night Sweats to play it straight? Yeah, I think they broke my brain.

Looking to hire for logo and artwork


#commission #ArtistWanted #FediHire

So, still looking for someone to do a logo for my dba β˜…Generalβ˜… Delivery, basically just stylized text, normal cash payment for this.

Also looking for someone to create official looking signs for us featuring cryptids/mythological creatures, with two initial products, and depending on sales success, two additional designs every six months for us to sell, payment is up to the artist, either straight flat rate cash, or some combo of cash and a cut of the gross.

1/2 alttext: "We chose the term "asexual" to describe ourselves because both "celibate" and "anti-sexual" have connotations we wished to avoid: the first implies that one has sacrified sexuality for some higher good, the second that sexuality is degrading or somehow inherently bad. "Asexual", as we use it, does not mean "without sex" but "relating sexually to no one".
in reply to Eowyn

2/2 alttext: This does not, of course, exclude masturbation but implies that if one has sexual feelings they do not require another person for their expression. Asexuality is, simply, self-contained sexuality."
The Asexual Manifesto, Lisa Orlando and Barbara Getz, 1972.

@Eowyn Yep, typed my reply in between copying the text, and editing the post, since editing or adding alt text is a little challenging on #friendica

The Recycled Orchestra orchestre


Do you have a second-hand musical instrument you could donate to the Olympias Music Foundation? With the help of Oglesby Charitable Trust Green Grants, we will repair up to 100 second-hand instruments for use by our young musicians at Olympias!

Every year, thousands of musical instruments go to landfill due to the prohibitive cost of repair. Many are made of rare woods and metals, which are impossible to recycle. We are partnering with the Oglesby Charitable Trust, Sound Post Limited and team of community luthiers (instrument makers) to breathe new-life into second-hand instruments and putting them into the hands of young people to inspire the next generation of musical talent in Manchester!

​

We are accepting donations of violins, violas, cellos, flutes, clarinets, saxophones, trumpets, trombones, french horns, euphoniums and electric keyboards. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept donations of pianos, guitars and drum-kits. Instruments can be dropped off at our base in central Manchester, or picked up from locations around Manchester.​

If you have a musical instrument you no longer need and would like to donate to Olympias, we would love to hear from you!
