"There are protests, your majesty."

"Good," said the Emperor. "What are they protesting?"

"Grain prices. But why are protests good?"

"What would you call a society with no protests?"

"Happy, your majesty."

"I would call it oppressed. Prepare a report on their grievances."

I also like to imagine a world where a guy like that makes it to the top.

life hack for people who use glasses, if you're without glasses and want to quickly read or look for something, make a pinhole lens with your hand

curl your index finger as tight as possible while leaving a small hole, then look trough it, try closing or opening the hole to get the best balance between not blurry and not too dark

I've done this many times before, can confirm, it's a useful trick. I actually explained it to my sisters (who are photographers) just a couple of days ago and they were intrigued! Although I'm surprised, being photographers, they hadn't already thought of it :)

Derwin looks back the path he has walked, not in regret, but in recognition.
The road ahead is just as uncertain, but with one paw forward, he chooses to keep going.
Healing isn’t about forgetting where you’ve been, it’s about deciding that what’s ahead still matters.

Piece made to honor Derwin, who is choosing to live fully, to connect, to rebuild, and to keep walking no matter the obstacles.
Happy first anniversary in the furry fandom!

Digital. Procreate.

Very fair, I should have said optional tail. I wasn't sure if just head and paws was enough, and tail was the only other thing I could think of that did not get into arm sleeves, leg sleeves, or chest coverage.
Siphedious - He/Him mastodon (AP)

@phantomkitty I could facetiously reply, "What about species that don't have paws?" but I take your meaning. :)

But I also think that if one of the goals of the parade is inclusivity...and if it's not, then perhaps it should be...then we start to have to ask ourselves why it should matter what they're wearing at all.

The Terrible Tower of Terror crumbled.

"Thus ends an Era," the Elf said.

"Aye," the Dwarf nodded. "I reckon the Age of Man begins now."

"And our kin, old friend, and all magic, will fade."

"Wait, what?" said the Human.

"It is Fated."

"Then I'll fight Fate."

"You have my axe!"

"And my bow!"

Good quote. I tracked down where it came from. It's from this interview that Ansel Adams did with writer David Sheff in 1983:

"Here is an important point: Only two and a half percent of the land in this country is protected. Not only are we being fought in trying to extend that two and a half percent to include other important or fragile areas but we are having to fight to protect that small two and a half percent. It is horrifying that we have to fight our own Government to save our environment. Our worst enemy is the person the President designated with the responsibility of managing the country’s environment: James Watt. No wonder it is a monumental battle."

Hoping this will be good, but I'll wait to see more about it first. I will say that Seth Rogan is a horrible choice to play Napoleon though :revblobfoxannoyed:

"Why did you let that princess go?" one dragon asked another.

"He told me he's a prince."

"Fair enough. He's still dressed-"

"He hasn't told his parents yet."

"I see. Did you offer to vouch for him?"

"Naturally, but I won't out him."

"Of course not. Anyway, does he have any sisters?"

@danielquinn yes, but the lesser of two evils is still better, in the absence of an alternative, and a failure to vote is effectively a vote for the worst guy, because you know he’s worse but don’t act
Daniel Quinn mastodon (AP)

This is exactly why your country keeps sliding into fascism. Both parties can keep moving right, and this "well you have to vote for one of them" ensures that no matter who loses, fascism always wins.

You don't have to vote Democrat or Republican. Understanding that is the first step toward breaking free of that death spiral.

Microsoft is apparently genuinely shaken by the fact that Linux outperforms Windows on handheld systems.
So shaken that they've halted the plans for an Xbox handheld and put the entire team that was working on that on trying to make Windows perform better on said handhelds.
They've been too busy concentrating on "AI" garbage and it's catching up with them. Linux is better for gaming right now in a lot of cases, that was their bread and butter for a lot of home users.

The king is wounded.

One of the worst things about digital privacy, is that so few people care about it. Or more often, they make you out to be the weird one for caring.

It's like when people threw fits about masking during the Covid pandemic. And treated people that cared about masking like they were the ones doing something wrong.

When it comes to digital privacy, pretty much everyone is that guy that refuses to wear a mask.

Here we go again...

'Football and other premium TV being pirated at 'industrial scale' -- BBC News Headline.

So, perhaps charge less for it? Make it available for people who want to pay for it. Stop insisting that people pay for 20 channels they don't need so they can see one event that you have got tied up in an exclusivity deal. Stop region locking. Stop putting trackers and spyware into your delivery mechanism. Stop being such utter bastards about something that you used to pump into the air for the cost of a TV licence or having to watch 5 minutes of untargeted, non-spying adverts every 15 minutes.

Many years ago, the writers of the original 'TRON' had an actor say "Computers will start thinking and people will stop."

We now know, thanks to various LLMs and the generative 'AI' that they didn't wait for computers to start thinking. They didn't even wait for something that could pass the Turing test.

They want something that can give the illusion of thinking so they can pay people a pittance to operate the mechanical turk while the worst people on planet earth tell them what they can and can't say.
