I am fan of good poetry. Were I to be living in any other time, I would find this poem gripping. On this day and in this time we live, it comforts the grief, motivates my resolve, and brings me to tears. Thank-you.

**Republicans Will Detonate Their Secret Weapon at the Midnight Hour to Stop Women from Voting **


Imagine arriving at your polling place in November only to be turned away because you changed your name when you got married. You’ve voted for 20 years with valid identification. Nothing matters. The SAVE Act passed the House in April, and 69 million American women are about to discover their names don’t match their birth certificates while the deadline to fix the problem has already closed...

Twenty years of voting with valid ID, Social Security records, tax returns, and a mortgage in your name mean nothing when the system decides your marriage certificate makes you unverifiable.

This scenario becomes reality for millions of American women if Republicans deploy the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act in the final weeks before the 2026 midterms.

in reply to Muse

Right. Today the FBI descended on the Fulton, Georgia voting data (for 2020), in an apparent effort to "re-prove" the "fake" election results then (which led to Jan 6 plus impeachment). As the GA Senator just noted, this is pre-shadowing Trump's election strategy (reprise) to do whatever he can to interfere with the next election and also (of course) undo the result of the last one, as he re-writes all of #truth & #history.

@Gargron I saw this and it reminded me when my post about gimp (mastodon.social/@wakest/100847…) made your 2018 list (blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/12/…) which is sorta sad to see how many of them are now 404 embeds



I was thinking of this, and proceeding cautiously through the mist, when I began to fancy that I saw some objects darker than the cloud looming in front of me. A few steps brought me nearer, and a shudder of unutterable horror ran through me when I saw a circle of gigantic forms, many times higher than myself, upstanding grim and grey through the veil of cloud before me.

I suppose I must have fainted, for I found myself some time afterwards sitting upon the ground, sick and deadly cold. There were the figures, quite still and silent, seen vaguely through the thick gloom, but in human shape indisputably.

A sudden thought occurred to me, which would have doubtless struck me at once had I not been prepossessed with forebodings at the time that I first saw the figures, and had not the cloud concealed them from me—I mean that they were not living beings, but statues. I determined that I would count fifty slowly, and was sure that the objects were not alive if during that time I could detect no sign of motion.

How thankful was I when I came to the end of my fifty and there had been no movement!

I counted a second time—but again all was still.

I then advanced timidly forward, and in another moment I saw that my surmise was correct. I had come upon a sort of Stonehenge of rude and barbaric figures.

There was snow upon their heads and wherever snow could lodge. Each statue had been built of four or five enormous blocks, but how these had been raised and put together is known to those alone who raised them. Each was terrible after a different kind. One was raging furiously, as in pain and great despair; another was lean and cadaverous with famine; another cruel and idiotic, but with the silliest simper that can be conceived—this one had fallen, and looked exquisitely ludicrous in his fall—the mouths of all were more or less open, and as I looked at them from behind, I saw that their heads had been hollowed.

I was sick and shivering with cold. Solitude had unmanned me already, and I was utterly unfit to have come upon such an assembly of fiends in such a dreadful wilderness and without preparation.

Then came a gust of howling wind, accompanied with a moan from one of the statues above me. I clasped my hands in fear. I felt like a rat caught in a trap, as though I would have turned and bitten at whatever thing was nearest me. The wildness of the wind increased, the moans grew shriller, coming from several statues, and swelling into a chorus. I almost immediately knew what it was, but the sound was so unearthly that this was but little consolation.

The inhuman beings into whose hearts the Evil One had put it to conceive these statues, had made their heads into a sort of organ-pipe, so that their mouths should catch the wind and sound with its blowing. It was horrible.

@rostiger you can add any page of the wiki, and it should pick up the feed path in the <head> tag.

Ah, that's such a great idea! This way you can subscribe to any one page of the wiki - smart!
in reply to Devine Lu Linvega

I heaped every invective upon them that my tongue could utter as I rushed away from them into the mist, and even after I had lost sight of them, and turning my head round could see nothing but the storm-wraiths driving behind me, I heard their ghostly chanting, and felt as though one of them would rush after me and grip me in his hand and throttle me.

”It has been clear for a long time, to anyone willing to see, that the people running the federal government—Trump, Miller, Noem, Bovino and more—are monsters. It has been equally obvious that ICE and the Border Patrol are now filled with sadistic thugs. Yet many people—almost the entire GOP, everyone serving in the Trump administration, some Democrats, a significant part of the media—were too cowardly to admit the obvious.”

Hey everyone, I need some help to keep my head above water for Februrary. The job search has been rough, and while I’ve been pushing hard to get back on my feet, but I’m at a point where I need some help to get through this stretch.

I’ve set a goal of $1,400 on Ko-fi to cover my essential living costs. This includes my rent, utilities, and bills. Anything remaining will go toward food and basic necessities.

If you have the means to contribute or can give this a boost, it would mean a lot to me. Thank you for your help.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.

The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE.

He was a Good Samaritan — and they murdered him for it. Now they’re trying to rewrite his history. They want to smear him. To dehumanize him.

Don’t let them.



not sure whether to laugh or cry at Elisabeth Bik’s latest revelation on Pubpeer

pubpeer.com/publications/20A6E…

in reply to Dorothy Bishop

I'm thinking that for every paper that Dr Bik finds, there must be hundreds, if not thousands, that slip through. She is an absolute hero, but her work mainly highlights the institutional failures of universities and journals. They ought to stop this type of fraud, but don't.
in reply to Stephan Neuhaus

I am curious how common this particular kind of citation manipulation is



"The toolbox isn’t particularly varied. President Trump is using all the instruments: the reported quotas for ICE arrests; the paramilitary force made up of thugs drunk on their own brutality; the spectacle of random violence, particularly in city streets; the postmortem vilification of the victims. It’s only natural that our brains struggle to find logic in what we are seeing. There is a logic, and this logic has a name. It’s called state terror."

Is nVidia dreaming of regulations that would take cars without autonomous AI off the road?

in reply to deltelta

probably. Ya know I'd be less upset at the prospect of more autonomous vehicles on the road if the tech actually worked well.

💔Alex J. Pretti💔 age 37, of South #Minneapolis was gunned on in cold blood by #ICE thugs today. He was Brandishing his phone recording 🧊.

No criminal record. Worked for the VA as an ICU nurse. Legal gun owner. Homeowner. Upstanding member of his community. He was a hero in his career, and went out like a hero trying to protect the women the ICE officer pushed down.

A TRUE hero all around, he didn’t deserve this. RIP #AlexPretti
