Black American civil rights were struggled for by a rich tapestry of direct action, intellectual analysis, Christian pacifism, liberation through Islam, and Leftist theory and influence. It is not and never was any one thing. Violence was not the only ingredient.

I have been saying it for 6 months straight now, and now, I need you all to say it with me:

No matter what is to come, we. do. not. split.

If you say so. I'm just trying to be helpful instead of offering scare quotes.

There is a cool self-hosted version of Perplexity out there now, called Perplexica. It can be configured to use Ollama (local inferencing) and your own, self-hosted SearXNG instance to do the actual search and collation.

I have been using it for a week and it really works.

Funkwhale works nice, but honestly, I am a big fan of just using mpd and piping the audio over a networked speaker, but I'm a simple boy with simple needs.

Damn, I was looking this publication up on Wikipedia because I hadn't heard of it before. When Radar started in the mid 2000s, it was financed by Epstein.

The magazine Radar published articles on entertainment, fashion, politics, and human interest and was founded and edited by Maer Roshan in September 2003.[7][8][9] After a series of three test issues focused on satire, he relaunched it in 2005 and again in 2006 with help from investors and family members, including Jeffrey Epstein .[10][11][12]

(Emphasis is mine).

It is owned by a completely different set of people now, but, wow. This dude had his beak in everything.

What, do you want me to hang around the paraplegic wing of the hospital? This is way safer for everyone involved.

[–] mitch@piefed.mitch.science 3 points 1 week ago

That was the only real answer.

Deeply satisfying. I have a tin roof on my porch, and every time we have a light rain, I wander out to listen to it like I'm an earthworm.

Congrats on your new baby, Beto O'Rourke.

that's all by bus, really. I live at the top of a hill that used to be used as a qualifier in a professional bicycling circuit. I tried getting up it on pedal power, it's just too much.

I got an eBike recently though, it really does make that hill a breeze.

my advice, personally? if you're curious, get a Botox injection. it is temporary, exceedingly well-studied, and generally does not interact with any other precription medicine. If you don't like it, it will wear off, just don't get it again and you're gold.

however, do NOT get fillers done, because from what research has been coming out over the past few years, the general consensus is that fillers do not break down in the body, and merely migrate when the dermis loses tensity. you will almost certainly need to get them surgically removed, and that shit isn't as easy as just injecting it back out. Though, I understand that recent studies have opened up a method of using some new kind of radio wave mapping to determine where all the filler went so that they can actually suck it back out piece by piece.
