On #ThisDayInHistory in 1941, the #MountRushmore monument was completed (more or less). It permanently defaced the #SixGrandfathers mountain, a sacred site for the #Lakota. Its designer, #GutzonBorglum, was a #KKK member who also designed the #StoneMountain #Confederate monument.

Ma la solidarietà a Francesca Albanese per le infamie su di lei da parte di Emanuele Fiano che “ipotizza che lei utilizza le fonti di Hamas” e che lui “ha ascoltato delle notizie che lei ha compiuto dei viaggi in Medioriente finanziati da organizzazioni attigue a Hamas”, quando?

Because it is a core belief in the USA that oppression is better and most efficiently handled by the private sector.

Yes, because for-profit corporate death panels (ala United Health Care and ilk) is somehow preferred to government death panels?
Now, the whole damning thing was that we COULD HAVE had a public option (as in a federal medical insurance plan). That way, you could have chosen your preferred death panel! /sarcasm
Joe Libermann, stooge to the insurance companies, was the sole reason why we don't have that.

The good news is that fedi donations have helped me not have negative money.
The bad news is that this is still pretty far short of the support I need to stay on track to being stably housed long term.

Last night I relistened to the 2nd 5th of Wolf359 season 4! Where Eiffel wrapped up the bulk of his character arc, in time to take a leap of faith & meet the aliens.
Also this is when Wolf359 started releasing the "Mission Mishaps" minisodes, where we return the season 1 status quo! Great for introducing others to the show, & I really enjoy the 1st one "A Little Night Music"! Where Eiffel is tasked with raising crew moral, which he attempts by ranking the music they received from the stars.
1/3
Why does Eiffel call Canon in D Major "The Mind Eraster"?
"Well friend, let me tell you. This song is a mutant! And its superpower is being the catchiest thing in the universe. Once you start listening to this song it *never* leaves. And it kicks out anything else that was scheduled to happen in your brain.
"Having some concerns about how safe those mandotory medical tests are? Nope, that's cancelled! Instead we're just going to go 'dum dady dum dadidadi dum'. It works for anything!"
2/3!

@inquiline Wood burners are how the rural poor -- who suffer the worst fuel poverty in the UK -- heat their homes.
Fix fuel poverty before punching down.

guess what, i live in coastal southern california
i acknowledge people need to heat their homes but the air pollution here and gratuitous, yes gratuitous wood burning is what my post is about:

since i know a lot of former #calyxos users are reasonably considering switching to #grapheneos (or already have), here are some tips for navigating their community:
* never question project leadership.
* never question security or privacy features or implementations.
* do not associate with any projects or individuals that they hate-stalk around the internet.
* no criticism, even constructive.
* make peace with the potential for baseless accusations and smears.
these tips also useful for oems. 💕

mRačak is now in my house! Old&New!
Old cat, but we’ve been separated for a year+!! So we are getting to know each other again…
New place (for him), so he is getting used to it …
not being able to go outside must be frustrating:( & I’m missing our strolling around Osdorp too 😞
He’s taking the role of emotional support again, I’m noticing …
He’s back into my arms, back in my bed, back on my lap.. & back to humping the blankets 😉

New images reveal detail of Llanelli’s proposed transport hub as plans formally submitted
A greener, safer gateway
The full planning application, prepared by AtkinsRéalis, sets out how the southern side of the station would be transformed into a modern transport hub. The latest drawings show two new bus stops with cantilevered shelters topped by green roofs, real‑time passenger information boards, and a redesigned car park with 40 spaces, including bays for disabled users, motorbikes and electric vehicles.
A new 2‑metre wide footway would run through the site, linking Copperworks Road and Station Road, while a series of raised and uncontrolled pedestrian crossings are planned to make it easier and safer to move between the station, bus stops and surrounding streets. Cycle users would benefit from a 22‑space covered bike shelter, also designed with a green roof.
Landscaping is a key part of the design, with existing poor‑quality scrub and hedgerow replaced by semi‑mature tree planting to screen the site from nearby homes. The plans also include bioretention areas to manage surface water and improve biodiversity.

The consultation report shows that 88% of respondents believed Llanelli would benefit from the interchange, with more than four in five saying it would encourage them to use public transport more often.
One resident commented that the hub would “finally bring buses and trains together in one place,” while another said it would “make the station feel like a proper gateway to the town rather than a back entrance.”
Concerns were raised about whether the bus facilities would be fully used, given the current limited services on Station Road. The council’s response was that the interchange is designed for future growth, particularly with developments such as Pentre Awel expected to increase demand.
Other feedback led to changes in the final design: pedestrian crossings were revised, cycle shelters relocated, and the dimensions of disabled and EV bays adjusted.
Part of a wider regeneration picture
The interchange is not being developed in isolation. It is intended to complement the £200m Pentre Awel wellness and life science village, which opened its first phase earlier this year. The landmark development on Llanelli’s coastline is expected to create around 2,000 jobs and attract thousands of visitors, making improved transport links essential.
It also ties into Carmarthenshire Council’s new town centre masterplans for Llanelli, Ammanford and Carmarthen, which set out how empty buildings will be brought back into use, new homes created, and public spaces improved. The council has been clear that better transport connectivity is central to making town centres more vibrant and accessible.
Closer to the station itself, the demolition of the Four Tys housing blocks in Tyisha has now been completed, paving the way for a new mixed‑use development with modern housing, community facilities and green space. The interchange is seen as a vital link in reconnecting Tyisha with the town centre and wider region.
“Enhancing access to sustainable transport”
Cllr Edward Thomas, Carmarthenshire’s Cabinet Member for Transport, Waste and Infrastructure, said earlier this year:
“We are looking for feedback to help shape plans for Llanelli Multi‑Modal Interchange to ensure that we are providing an appropriate solution that enhances access to more sustainable transport opportunities to support Llanelli into the future.”
Next steps
If approved, the interchange would be built in phases alongside the existing station, with construction carefully managed to minimise disruption. The council says the project is a vital part of its strategy to reduce car dependency, improve access to jobs and education, and support the wider regeneration of Llanelli.
