I wanted to post this resource for reporting #ICE agents & incidents

icelist.is/

They post photos & profiles of ICE agents
Some they need help ID'ing or unmasked photos

Make these #NachoNazis famous while documenting for their trials

#Resist #AntiFascist

This is why we need BlueπŸ’™Govs to have state police intervene & make these #fascists show ID & unmask them to match to faces

Make them learn "just following orders" is not a defense

Well, this puts things in a bit of perspective. Holy hell.

EDIT: Well, this blew up! Lots of comments and the image, while compelling, is definitely misleading. Need to dig in if these are intended to be proportionally the same size, or just represent β€œwhat if an eastern portion of the USA was occupied”.

Either way, worthy to consider in either context to get folks (including myself) thinking.

And yeah, don’t give ab inch either way.

I love explaining warframe's setting to people because I get to say stuff like "there's a whole town where they live like this"

the town's economy is all just wallmeat, fishing, and selling gems & trinkets to tourists

This has to be, like, the equivalent of the inner harbor in Baltimore; surely there's more to it than just some soda can houses and a guy with too many spices.

It's been years since I implemented an RSS/Atom feed myself, and I'm struggling with content encoding for the ATOM <content> element.

From my reading, it should be html-escaped (see first screenshot). But Newsblur and feeder.co are both showing unrendered HTML (second shot).

Are these maybe cached from a previous broken version (as I've been working on this) or is the code wrong?

Current feed URL: monkinetic.blog/feed.xml

any help appreciated #RSS #ATOM #syndication #indieweb

in reply to Steve has β˜•οΈ for brains

Hi @sivy,
don't be fooled.
'… Newsblur and feeder.co showing …' the 'showing' implies the conversion from the html entities like < to characters < etc.

Check your feed with validator.w3.org/feed/check.cg…

P.S.: for convenience of writing you may fill your content into a en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CDATA as @jef recommended, but mind it cannot contain the ending-mark inside.

When the Feds Come to Your City: Standing Up to ICE

A Guide from Chicago Organizers

crimethinc.com/StandUptoICE

Are masked agents stalking your town, looking to kidnap your neighbors? Want to do your part to protect each other, but don’t know where to start?

This guide is based on the knowledge that an array of people have accumulated in Chicago over the past several months during β€œOperation Midway Blitz.”

As federal agents expand their assaults on communities across the country, it is crucial to share and build on these practices.

So if I wanted to get off of Spotify and take my playlists with me, what's a good accessible alternative, and how do I migrate?

When I used Title last, it was a mess of unlabelled buttons and deeply unpleasant to use. If that has changed then I'm fine with switching but I never got it to work.

Earlier this year I used TuneMyMusic to transfer some of my playlists from Spotify to Pandora, but despite it saying all over the website that it works, it now throws up some weird error about the connection no longer working, Pandora not having an API, and asks if I want to @ Pandora on X to complain about it. No thanks, I click. Why are these buttons always "No thanks" and not "Fuck no" or just "No?"

Are there any nice options I'm missing? I'm fine with CLI tools and CSV or somesuch, just predictably this has gotten worse and I've been putting it off because I didn't have the spoons. Sometimes I hate it when I'm right.

Apple Music has a migration tool. This won't matter if you're not an Apple person, but I recently used it to copy over playlists containing tens of thousands of tracks and it very helpfully pointed out the 55 or so it wasn't sure about at the end, letting me confirm or choose an alternative in a pretty accessible interface.

if this is true, then it will be the second of two things. He’s actually done during both of his presidencies that I like, and think actually did give benefit to the country. But this is Donald Trump, so it could be walked back in an instant either by him or by one of his cronies.

@Xoa Gray @Tiki Bunny Imports πŸΉπŸ‡πŸ›»πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ Yeah, that's what I'm thinking, but it'd be cool to see it happen, especially with the push back coming from a quasi governmental agency that's been leading to them getting banned.
in reply to 🌴 Seph πŸ’­ πŸ‘Ύ

yeah same here. I would love to see them made just across-the-board legal. I’ve wanted one for years specifically a Subaru Sambar.
in reply to Xoa Gray

@Xoa Gray @Tiki Bunny Imports πŸΉπŸ‡πŸ›»πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ I don't think we'll see that, but there's a lot to do, after all I do believe the law banning them wasn't targeted at them, but more mainstream vehicles that were being imported, so exceptions could be made for them, from decreasing the wait time on importing them, kneecapping the group that's trying to ban them, simplifying the import, creating a special classification for them and maybe city cars, hard to say, Americanized versions definitely won't happen though.
in reply to 🌴 Seph πŸ’­ πŸ‘Ύ

Oh yeah, there's a lot of things that could be done. But the American auto industry lobbyists are spending millions to do everything they can to make sure it doesn't. That's where the real fight is right now.
in reply to Xoa Gray

@Xoa Gray @Tiki Bunny Imports πŸΉπŸ‡πŸ›»πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ I find it hard to imagine American car company manufacturers worried about these, despite the increased interest, they wouldn't likely offer much competition as they're not a segment anyone operates in here. Now for side by side and UTV manufacturers, a definite threat.

In 1859, Abolitionist John Brown was executed for β€œtreason.” 1st American ever executed, for the crime of freeing the enslaved.

The 2nd American ever executed for treason was Aaron Dwight Stevens at 29yo, also an abolitionist. He served Brown during his failed raid on Harpers Ferry, VA.

Brown's raid lasted Oct 16 to 18, 1859. He initiated a slave revolt, now called the dress rehearsal to the Civil War.

A stark reminder that legality is not always a measure of justice & morality, but power.

yeah I never really had much of an interest in biology until after I began transitioning, at which point I realized that I needed to cultivate a special interest in endocrinology, stat.

which, it is genuinely interesting! finding out that vitamin D, for example, is a hormone? that's neat.

Yes, if you take a vitamin D supplement of any kind, you're engaging in HRT.

@the three-day monk The point is that everyone always trots out their not safe for our roads as a reason to ban them, and yet the same people barely even blink at the idea of motorcycles, scooters, UTVs and golf carts being allowed on roads, the latter two restricted to neighborhoods.

As to crash standards, I doubt the older ones are particularly good, the vans and pickups have little more than a piece of sheet metal between you and what you hit, though the newer ones are getting a small (very) crumple zone, and I think ABS now.

in reply to 🌴 Seph πŸ’­ πŸ‘Ύ

I never said to ban them. I’ve owned kei cars. I don’t know why you think it is my position.

I have concerns about safety of kei cars in a US context, but I also don’t drive any of those other vehicles in the US. So I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do with your argument, besides nod and agree that those other vehicles also have safety concerns in a US context.

Police banning protest against #King as #arrest threatened in Windsor


Anti-monarchist activists have said they were #threatened with arrests when they planned to protest a #royal procession in #Windsor on Wednesday

Campaigners said that they were told by #police they faced arrest if they protested near the royal procession, with police citing concerns about the banner and amplified noise.

Officers were also accused of telling protesters they faced arrest if they heckled the monarch.

Graham Smith, CEO of Republic, said: "#Thames Valley Police have today decided that #protests are essentially #banned. #FreeSpeech is conditional on arbitrary decisions by police inspectors, denying people even the right to heckle public figures.

Amazon might not notice that you stopped shopping with them* but if you take that same modest bit of disposable income and spend it on art bought directly from artists, the small electronics projects of your friends, helping people in dire financial situations and the the local theater all of those people WILL notice. It will have a massive impact.

*But, also Amazon does notice. Especially as more and more people do this.

i've made 45 bilingual (eng/esp) copies of the Riot Medicine Field Guide, a concise companion book to the Hakan Geijer's robust protest medic text. i printed these specifically to distribute to action medics, though the content is informative for anyone and functions as a good hook for anyone interested learning more about street medicine.

if you would like one for yourself or as gift to someone ('tis the season!), please email me the address at <fallrise@riseup.net> and i will send one -- i am happy to cover the ~$4 shipping, but am willing to accept donations. if you have a medic crew and would like some for yourselves or for trainings, i can send you a box.

I suspect one reason it is so important to the ruling class that people should not sympathize with Palestine is thatβ€”once people recognize settler-colonialism there & the evils it inflicts, they will be more able to see it everywhere.

I certainly feel that by learning about the occupation of Palestine, I have come to understand more about occupied Turtle Island ("North America") & what has happened (and is STILL happening) here. Once you recognize the patterns you see them everywhere.

I was reminded today that Meta/Facebook's data center project is called Hyperion. Here are some facts about that name that may or may not be of interest.

Hyperion's name comes from two Greek words that together mean "watcher from above" or "he who goes above".

Hyperion was a Titan, the ancient Greek gods that preceded the Olympian gods like Zeus, Athena, etc. Prometheus, Atlas, and the word Titan itself are frequently used to name tech projects. A fun web search is "COMPANY_NAME Titan"; try it. It seems lost on these folks that the Titans were deposed by the Olympian gods and condemned to an eternity in Tartarus, a kind of hell. In other words they're the loser gods, if you want to be simplistic and vulgar about it.

It is believed that one of Hyperion's offspring, Helios, as well as all of Helios's offspring, were imagined as being black-skinned.

My wife, who is a classicist, and I regularly shake our heads about the names of tech projects like this. I always ask her for the dirt on the name, and she always delivers (as in the above, which I credit to her).

Everything Borderlands can be expected to be tongue in cheek, so yes, that in game sales pitch for Atlas definitely gets it wrong intentionally.
