Slowly managing to encounter my friends again. If you see me follow you again randomly, it's because I moved instances and wasn't able to load my Mastodon profile export back in. I had to process the files myself and manually follow people. :(

"What a great gift! Ha ha!"
In this cheerful holiday-themed image, three individuals are gathered in what looks like a cozy café or bakery. The background features festive decorations, including a sign with a coffee cup and the word "Coffee" illuminated in a retro style. Snowflakes are falling, adding to the wintry atmosphere. The person on the left, wearing a dark coat and a red knit cap, is receiving a gift or card from the person in the center, who is wearing a Santa hat and a blue apron. The person in the center is smiling warmly and appears to be handing over a red gift card or envelope. The person on the right, also wearing an apron, is smiling and seems to be part of the cheerful exchange, possibly a café worker or baker. The overall mood of the image is warm, festive, and inviting, capturing a moment of holiday cheer and community. It's the classic Pennsylvania Lottery winter holiday commercial.

This is the reality that many Jews have to go through now and we kind of have no other choice because no one will step up to protect us if we don’t do it ourselves

AI Bathroom Monitors? Welcome To America's New Surveillance High Schools
Schools across the U.S. are rolling out AI-powered surveillance technology, including drones, facial recognition and even bathroom listening devices. But there’s not much data to prove they keep kids safe.

Anyway, curious what possible rationale the DOJ could have for redacting those sections saying that Epstein paid off witnesses to their "criminal sex trafficking and abuse conduct," threatened harm, to "release damaging stories about them," and telling them to "destroy evidence."

Ok. Now had a chance to check and, well, at least some docs do appear to be straight up classic redaction fail. And there are some *interesting* bits here.

Showing highlights of paragraphs 202 through 206 in a doc with 203-205 blacked out. Text in next image 202. Defendants also actively obstructed law enforcement by denying investigators access to Little St. James beyond its boat dock. 203. Defendants also attempted to conceal their criminal sex trafficking and abuse conduct by paying large sums of money to participant-witnesses, including by paying for their attorneys’ fees and case costs in litigation related to this conduct. 204. Epstein also threatened harm to victims and helped release damaging stories about them to damage their credibility when they tried to go public with their stories of being trafficked and sexually abused. 205. Epstein also instructed one or more Epstein Enterprise participant-witnesses to destroy evidence relevant to ongoing court proceedings involving Defendants’ criminal sex trafficking and abuse conduct. 206. Defendants also concealed their fraud on the Government in obtaining unearned tax benefits by providing false testimony and submitting false and inaccurate reporting to the Economic Development Commission to prevent detection of Defendant Southern Trust Company’s non-compliance with requirements concerning the nature of its business and the residency of the persons it employed.

i made a screw.
A close-up, high-contrast image showcasing a sleek, futuristic design of a hand gripping a large, rounded metallic object. The object appears to be a stylized hammer or mallet with a smooth, polished surface, giving it a high-tech, almost cyberpunk aesthetic. The background is dark, which accentuates the metallic sheen and sharp edges of the object, creating a dramatic and modern visual effect. A close-up view of a small, metallic screw or bolt with a rounded head placed on a textured, brown surface against a dark background. The screw has a shiny, reflective surface, highlighting its metallic texture.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s daughter calls TSA ‘unconstitutional’ after pat-down

https://apnews.com/article/tsa-sean-duffy-airport-screening-patdowns-31cd1dd649a6f043c046974ee4f0ab72
Evita Duffy-Alfonso said on the social platform X that she nearly missed her flight after opting out of a body scan because she said she is pregnant and concerned about radiation exposure. She said she waited 15 minutes for a pat-down and that TSA agents were “rude” and “tried to pressure” her into walking through the scanner. “All this for an unconstitutional agency that isn’t even good at its job,” she said.

some art of my corner of #philadelphia

a mockup stamp (which went on my Holiday eCards!).

#philly #roxborough #nwphilly
A stylized mock stamp design welcoming visitors to Gorgas Park in Roxborough, Philadelphia, PA. The top section showcases a vintage-style banner with the words "Welcome to Gorgas Park" in a bold, classic font. Below the banner, the name "Gorgas Park" is prominently displayed in a decorative script with an illustration of a small building or pavilion and the establishment year "Est. 1895." The bottom section of the image has the text "Roxborough, Philadelphia, PA" in a bold, serif font, framed by a decorative border resembling a postage stamp. The overall design is reminiscent of a vintage postcard or commemorative stamp, celebrating the historical and cultural significance of Gorgas Park.

"Humanity prevails"
Another modified advertisement at a MUNI bus stop in #SanFrancisco. In the third photo you can see the original design before it was modified. #sfgraffiti #graffiti
A modified poster on the side of a MUNI bus stop. The poster is black background with white letters and art on top. There's a drawing of the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland. It is smiling at the viewer. Text beneath it says "Humanity prevails time and time again. Dear World, I wuv you. Yours, Monsieur Salopette." Parts of the sign are the original printed text (ie "Humaninty" and "DearWorld") the drawing and added text were all added in white paint. A closeup of part of the sign, so you can see the printed parts next to the parts that were painted in white paint. A photo of the original sign without any of the changes in the previous photos. It is an ad for an AI company named Dear World (I think).
