Photo of a cluster of open pale pink apple blossoms and new green leaves on an apple tree (out-of-focus stucco-covered low cinder block wall and juniper shrub in background)
It is the last day of February. North American latitude 35.106766, at 5,194 feet (1583 meters) elevation, high temperature of 76ยฐF/24.5ยฐC today. My apple tree has blossomed. This is fine.
Was going to comment exactly this if it had not already been said.

"...we need to establish a fundamental value: no grace for fascism, no tolerance for state terror."

I got goosebumps finally reading the truth of our situation and not some mealy-mouthed milquetoast politicized interpretation.
It's not food-related, either, that one cow invention. Back-scratcher first! That's not life-sustaining, that's comfort. I totally respect that.
Gross oversight edited Alt text: The couple is white. All the co-attendees are white. The one service person seen in the crowd, jacket-donned and tray of cocktails aloft, towel draped over opposing arm, is black. 2019 political cartoon by David Horsey of the Seattle Times featuring an affluent May-December romance couple (woman is younger, taller, more slender, no grey hair, ample cleavage/dรฉcolletage, making "duck face") drinks in hand at a black tie affair, regarding a quote inscribed on the wall. The quote reads, "The problem of racial injustice and economic injustice cannot be solved without a radical redistribution of political and economic power." -Martin Luther King Jr., 1967. The man is saying to his companion, "personally, I prefer his platitudes about everyone being nice to each other."
It is a day to honor Martin Luther King, Jr.
Reposting due to my own gross oversight in the alt text of my original.

This looks exactly like the stove I learned to cook on at my grandparents house! Theirs had matching salt and pepper shakers on either side of the clock... can't quite tell if this one does, too.

I had some hopes with this specific AI application, the potential objectivity of medical diagnostic AIโฆ One of the few things that AI could actually be good at: as an alert for a clinician human to look deeper into something. Turns out it's not true. Garbage in = garbage out. Same as it ever was.

...my favorite: given free tickets on Berlin public transit to see an English language screening of True Lies in Germany. During the first scene I thought perhaps the gentleman was mistaken and the whole thing was going to be in German. ๐คฃ
1. Buying a ticket for problem child but sneaking in to see Flatliners as tween
2. Independence Day opening day on a date. The whole crowd, "Data!" when Brent Spiner appeared onscreen
3. Re-release of The Exorcist on BigScreen with deleted (crabwalk! Medical tests!) scenes

I absolutely drive away and go to a different gas station if I see that. Unless I am in the middle of nowhere, with NO other gas stations, and sucking fumes. Muting sound doesn't matter - I don't even want the chaos in my visual field.
โข If the U.S. military operation to interdict and destroy suspected narcotraFicking vessels is a โnon-international armed conflict,โ as the Trump Administration suggests, orders to โkill everybody,โ which can reasonably be regarded as an order to give โno quarter,โ and to โdouble-tapโ a target in order to kill survivors, are clearly illegal under international law. In short, they are war crimes. โข If the U.S. military operation is not an armed conflict of any kind, these orders to kill helpless civilians clinging to the wreckage of a vessel our military destroyed would subject everyone from SECDEF down to the individual who pulled the trigger to prosecution under U.S. law for murder.
Highlighted sentence at the end of the document reads: Again, the bottom line is that, since orders to kill survivors of an attack at sea are โpatently illegal,โ anyone who issues or follows such orders can and should be prosecuted for war crimes, murder, or both.
Former US military lawyers speak out:
"The Former JAGs Working Group unanimously considers both the giving and the execution of these orders, if true, to constitute war crimes, murder, or both."

My late-stage capitalist Hellscape, now with Fascism, Yule/Holiday/Christmas gift wish list has exactly one (1) item on it:
Crumple zones absorb the kinetic energy of the crash instead of transferring the energy to your physical body inside the vehicle. I would bet the cost saved in human body/spinal injuries far exceeds the cost of repairing the car body. Even low speed vehicular collisions are bad for human physiology.
Hawt thot
I learned through my adolescent experience that the freaks, geeks, weirdos, & musicians I went to high school with gave back more to my community than the church I was ostensibly a member of... anyone who calls themselves Christian needs to put their money & action where their mouth is. Hypocrites!
Palmer brand chocolate box featuring a cartoon image of Santa, holding a mug of cocoa with a chocolate sphere hovering above it, "straddling" a clear-panel-exposed tower of 2" diameter chocolate spheres contained therein, that appear to be suspending Santa above the opening of a chimney. The box reads, "Happy Holidays" and "makes 3 cups of Hot Cocoa." The box and image are terribly designed and implies you'll be using the contents of Santa's GI tract to make hot cocoa.
They REALLY need to rethink this packaging design...๐ค
