Map Enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz•How Black cartographers put racism on the map of America
4·1 month agoHere we are over a century later and this map correlates very well to the states I enjoy and states I avoid.
1.) Any resistance group that wants to use the 2A needs to be very well-organized. A lone wolf here or there will quickly be pounced on by hundreds of ICE goons who have the entire federal government behind them.
2.) Violent resistance would give Trump a justification for declaring an insurrection and imposing martial law. Say goodbye to the 2026 elections (and beyond) if that happens.
UK playing both sides. Nice move, chaps.
“This thing is a Thneed. A Thneed’s a Fine-Something-That-All-People-Need! It’s a shirt. It’s a sock. It’s a glove. It’s a hat. But it has other uses. Yes, far beyond that. You can use it for carpets. For pillows! For sheets! Or curtains! Or covers for bicycle seats!”
The Lorax said, “Sir! You are crazy with greed. There is no one on earth who would buy that fool Thneed!”
But the very next minute I proved he was wrong. For, just at that minute, a chap came along, and he thought that the Thneed I had knitted was great. He happily bought it for three ninety-eight. I laughed at the Lorax, “You poor stupid guy! You never can tell what some people will buy.”
This shirt is dry-clean only. That means… it’s dirty.

196@lemmy.blahaj.zone•100% rule compliant usa flagEnglish
92·5 months agoAktchually, per Wikipedia:
The U.S. flag is defined by 4 U.S.C. § 5, executive order and official government standards:
The flag of the United States for the purpose of this chapter shall be defined according to sections 1 and 2 of this title and Executive Order 10834 issued pursuant thereto.
Executive Order 10834 Proportions And Sizes Of Flags And Position Of Stars[5] prescribes the design of the flag as well as Federal Specification DDD-F-416F.[6]
And the referenced specifications are very clear:

Though I do like their patriotic trans pride flag design. I would love to see a real one flying.
I assume you mean the “h” word I used. If that is a slur than I apologize, I did not know. It is a common industry term for genderless electrical connectors.
Beware the forbidden extension cable.

2·6 months agoI didn’t notice that! I wonder who originally made that edit, and when. Google image search comes up with both versions from multiple sources.

Yeah, reading back I see that it’s a clumsy choice of words. I’ll work on that in the future.

9·6 months agoHis left arm even seems to suggest his hand is between his knees
This is actually a crop of a famous photo. In the full photo he is nude, with his left hand between his knees and his forearm just covering his privates.

Seattle@lemmy.world•Icing out ICE: Spokane outlaws warrantless immigration enforcement at events on public propertyEnglish
29·6 months agoNow I want to see how they enforce it.Police Chief Kevin Hall, asked Monday what officers would do in response to a 911 call about immigration officers violating the city’s law, was clear: observe, attempt to keep the peace, and otherwise do nothing.
“SPD cannot and will not interfere with a federal law enforcement officer,” Hall said.
Instead, the law would potentially give residents the ability to sue the federal government and other parties for violations, …
So it’s window dressing, as expected.
Good on Spokane’s city council for at least making a symbolic gesture, I suppose. It’s more than most cities are bothering to do.
That’s why you buy heavy guns.

196@lemmy.blahaj.zone•Heath was a national treasure ruleEnglish
73·7 months ago“Hey, you know that project you poured your heart into for months? We want you to make fun of it on live TV.”


I thought it was a good game in that it was hard-fought and clean. There were no big fuckups (except one Drake May interception), no huge pass-interference penalties or major injuries that swung the game, etc. Both teams were solid. This was a grind fest that was decided by small advantages being exploited consistently and aggressively.
