This week's comic: Many white Americans fail to assimilate
#cartoon #comic #race #immigration #racism #uspol
MANY WHITE AMERICANS FAIL TO ASSIMILATE 1. Some self-segregate in homogeneous neighborhoods Gated community with sigh saying Caucasian Pointe, no trespassing 2. Others fly the flag of a foreign country Pickup truck flying Confederate flag blasting 'AND THIS BIRD YOU CANNOT CHANGE' with caption reading 'traditional folk music' 3. Many refuse to speak contemporary English. Scowling woman: Seems like the homos and orientals are everywhere! 4. Will these stubborn holdouts ever integrate into our multiracial society? Younger brown guy pointing to old white guy in MAGA hat and Trump t-shirt: It might help if they stopped wearing those funny hats.

Waking up here for today's #GovernableSpaces event in SF lu.ma/governable-spaces-sf

Governable Spaces: Democratic Design for Everyday Tech

What would it look like if online platforms were designed with democracy in mind? This event presents projects that are doing just that—building values like transparency, collective decision-making, and accessibility for all into their designs.

Our blurry boys the other day. They'd been to the vet and had their worming treatment a few hours earlier so were feeling a little out of sorts. They were back to their usual hilarious selves by morning though.

Two black cats, slightly out of focus, sitting cuddled into each other with their heads upright, looking at the camera (or at least vaguely in that direction). They're sitting on the back cushions of a sofa, which is covered with a colourful, patchwork style quilt.

“The universe is expanding, and faster now than it did in the past. Scientists don't know why, but the leading explanation is that the universe contains something that has a repulsive gravitational effect - it pushes the universe apart instead of pulling it back together. This phenomenon is called dark energy.”

It's so much more than simply throwing a bunch of related shots together. You can establish a mood, focus the viewer's attention, tell a complete story.

A book on Final Cut Pro by Diana Weynand (this was several years ago, so the lesson/content may have changed) included a scene from the series Leverage. Consisting of multiple takes, the student has to learn how to sync the audio with the video, but also incorporate different camera angles as characters speak and react to one another. It's fascinating.

one day, I don't know how, I "ran" a markdown file with notes about luks and cryptsetup

one note was about preparing the disk to the installation, on how to clear the disk with `dd`

it just cleared the data header of luks, and since that day I learned to always have backup of the luks headers

Cuddles with my beautiful babies.

Mr Kitty played a little yesterday which was lovely to see. His drool is over most things now, poor boy.

The smell of his halitosis is at once incredibly depressing and I now link it to cancer (much like I did Mum’s death rattle) but also positive. I breathe it in deeply with all the love so have for him and gratitude I get to spend that much extra time with him. I know it is strange.
