I started a 3D print last night and woke up to find it had warped a little bit on the bottom. Not enough to ruin the print, but enough to be noticeably bothersome.
I rather wish it had been ruined, so I would feel justified in scrapping the whole thing and starting again. But since it's technically usable as-is, the real waste would be discarding a usable print because it doesn't look perfect.
Damn. 😔

I want to note, on top of the queerphobia and sexual puritanism here, that these photos are obviously paparazzi bullshit taken from distance with a telephoto lens. This is 100% punishing private behavior among consenting adults purely because someone violated their privacy.

Okay, here we go. This is boring but I guess I'm doing it.This story of Eric Carle and his publisher "fighting bitterly over the stomachache scene" in The Very Hungry Caterpillar is fake. Eric Carle never said this, the interview is a parody, it was an April Fools joke. 1/?
One example: Anti-homeless architecture isn't just about "cleaning up the streets," or whatever: it's a constant reminder to labor that if you don't keep coming back to work, there is no place, there is no rest, for you here.
If you're not willing to kill the senate filibuster to properly investigate an armed insurrection against the U.S. Capitol and secure the basic right to vote in elections, you are favoring the made-up procedural rules of a democracy over the actual fucking democracy itself.

Democrats control the executive and legislature of history's mightiest empire and have a majority of the public at their back.They need to do something about this instead of asking for permission to cut the noose around their own necks.
New:A MAGA-obsessed, AR-15-centric religious sect has bought a sprawling compound in Texas, which it hopes will be a safe haven to "patriots" from what they believe is an imminent "deep state" war. The property was listed at just under $1 million.

SCOOP: We have everything that happened at Citizen when it put a bounty on an innocent man's head. Internal comms before, during, and after. Some of the wildest behavior I have ever seen in my entire life:

NEWS:A new analysis of 2020 circulating among Dems finds that House Ds spent huge sums on ads touting bipartisanship while the GOP spent massively on tarring Dems as socialists.
The study shows Ds badly need to improve in prosecuting GOP radicalization:

STRATEGY MEMO: @LeaderMcConnell is reported to be begging Republican Senators, asking them for a personal favor, which is voting against the January 6th commission. What conceivable reason could there be for the Senate Minority Leader to vote against finding out every detail 1/

Joe Manchin said, “I’m not ready to destroy our government,” by investigating...the people who tried to destroy our government.

Truly stunning how much the GOP passes unpopular and inhumane legislation while consolidating its frightful base of the super-rich and Nazis, whereas Dems sacrifice popular and necessary legislation on the altar of bipartisanship while alienating its base of the US majorityhttps://twitter.com/chick_in_kiev/status/1397909264635682816

Let me be crystal clear.
Yes, antisemitism is rising. The overwhelming vast majority of it is coming from the right. This should be understood w/in the worldwide rise of fascism.
Criticism of Israeli crimes by members of Congress is NOT antisemitism.
We're clearly moving toward a new system in which statewide votes in many red and purple states are refashioned into recommendations to the gerrymandered GOP state legislature. Which then chooses the president, senator, secy of state etc etc. Rinse, repeat.
The whole concept of trickle-down economics was a con.https://twitter.com/DanPriceSeattle/status/1397635649147072512
Violent crime typically shoots up when economic devastation and massive, sustained national trauma occurs. I think one reason many of the current attacks on police reform don’t have as much purchase as they could’ve is b/c a normal person can tell what happened since March 2020
And this will change nothing.
I would watch Elizabeth Warren pummel Jamie Dimon all day.

Cold take: it's pretty fucked up that the "proper" way to unfuck the USA's democracy is "win against overwhelming odds repeatedly and by large enough margins to overturn permanent minority rule by white bigots. And don't you dare break even one window in the process."
They don’t know what CRT is but don’t need to because their people don’t either. They could just as easily rail against teaching the Standard Theory in physics. The point was to turn an academic school of thought into a catch-all phrase that conjures everything people fear.
The GOP, deeply enmeshed in violent white nationalism and xenophobia, has decided to go on the offensive. By attacking antiracism they’re changing the subject away from the racial arson they’ve encouraged. The attacks on “critical race theory” are central to this.
They're maneuvering to steal the 2024 election. There's no secret plan, no anonymous sources or leaked documents -- it's just all right out in the open -- so we seem unable to treat it as an important story, or call it what it is.

For folks who think Person of Interest and Minority Report are fiction.Algo tells Chicago police that area man will be involved in a crime—either as perpetrator or victim. But their actions set in motion the thing they say they were trying to prevent.
There is no compromise with this. There is no common ground. There is no deal to be struck. Millions of our fellow citizens are lost in rebellion against reality.
its been a year since george floyd died and so many people bled and lost eyes and marched with such passion and some small victories were achieved and yet the systemic cruelties for the most part remain intact and so do the propaganda systems that uphold them

Guess it's time to find a new insurer.
For example, when a user files a claim, they record a video on their phone and explain what happened.Our AI carefully analyzes these videos for signs of fraud. It can pick up non-verbal cues that traditional insurers can't, since they don’t use a digital claims process. (4/7)
