Because I think this is pretty extraordinary—They clearly knew him, had a personal problem with him, and then…
So correct me if I’m just missing everything, but are we not talking about this video today?
the fact i'm getting old enough to need this, the fact taking a piss takes way too long and happens too often, the fact i don't want to end up like my dad who had prostate/bladder issues for the last 20 years of his life, the fact of having a "finger shaped transducer" up my arsehole and wiggled around by a stranger is hilarious and embarrassing to me
@decryption funny, I bought an endoscope from Amazon yesterday and it arrived about half an hour after your mastodon post.
@danirabbit @thygrrr I'm flooding my zone with ice-cream right now, because this is all so depressing
@karolherbst honestly this is a great idea. I should get chocolate
This was made with a DSLR and a swinging lens to provide selective focus on the milepost at left. This moved the plane of focus to be non-parallel with the sensor, yielding only a sliver in focus.
Image was was captured at "Park Junction" in Philadelphia, where the former Reading Railroad once met the former Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. What caught my eye was the old school graffiti moniker on the base of the milepost, in a style traditionally used by yard workers and hobos to tag freight cars.
NB: Hobo moniker tags are a rathole you can spend a lot of time going down. I recommend the somewhat obscure documentary "Who Is Bozo Texino", which I recently noticed is currently up on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSqMAADNKA8

@emptywheel has talked about how Stephen Miller has been giving Greg Bovino his orders & "rules of engagement" for #ICE actions.
Today I asked @JasonLeopold
"What #FOIA request can we file to get documents showing what #Bovino was told?"
#Miller thinks he can cover this up like his baldness.

There are multiple declines that have been set in motion by the Trump presidency that will take years to fully manifest and will be too late to stop by the time people figure it out.
Trump pushing Canada to open up its auto market to Chinese EVs is one such example.
Snakes are so misunderstood.
@lowqualityfacts thought that was cats
Oh geez I just learned what the ST scale is for, and it blew my mind. ST means sine and tangent. It starts at 40 minutes (a lot of slide rules use hexagesimal for angles) and goes up to six degrees. This is the arctangent *and* the arcsine *and* the conversion from radians to degrees of the C scale, because they're all basically the same within the precision with which you can read the slide rule! You have to divide the C scale by 10 to use it with this scale, so 5.7 degrees on the ST scale lines up with the 1 on the C scale. 5.7 degrees is approximately 0.1, and the sine and tangent are both approximately 0.1.
I noticed that both the LL2 and LL3 scales are marked with "e" over the 1, but that didn't seem to make sense, because on the LL2 scale that should be exp(0.1). But then I realized that there are no marks just to the right; the first mark is 1.11, over the 1.04 mark on the C scale. So the 1 on the C scale is actually 10 when using the LL2 scale!

@thygrrr I had someone explain to me the concept of flooding the zone

Here is the Ossoff press release on human rights violations at detention centers.
This is straight from his official Senate page.
To keep #OpenStreetMap.org up and running while we're being deluged by scrapers, we've blocked 320,000+ primarily residential IPv4 addresses in the last 24 hours (+ 100,000 IPv6) involved in scraping.
If you need OSM data, please don't scrape the website - use the official downloads at https://planet.openstreetmap.org

Stand goal achieved!
I was sitting down.
@ramsey Sometimes, sitting counts as standing.
Breaking News: bad things continue to happen in such great numbers that it’s impossible to keep track of it all
@danirabbit WON'T THEY THINK OF THE CHILDREN?
It may be grimly funny, but there;s some chewy reading in here:
The analysis and breakdiwn of WeWork shows that it was even worse than I thought... 🤣

It reminds me of a parody card game about the DotComCrash in 2000/2001, where one of the fictional comanies had the motto,
"We lose money on every sale, but we're making up for it in volume!",
But WeWork did it for real... 🤣
