In Iran, children's rights advocate Ahmadi Sarvenaz was sentenced to six years in prison.
βIt was worth it,β Ahmadi said.
"Itβs worth the feeling of belonging to a large, powerful group of people who are trying to take control of their own destinyβ¦ Iβm still young and in love, and I still laugh like when I was a child. I canβt be any different and I still believe that honoring life is the essence of resistance.β

That feeling of raw power when you've got 4MB of RAM to play with - no limits!
@ScottSoCal @Toonces
Yes, nice!
Extended memory.
One day, I also got some expanded memory. I have over 1 Mb of memory!!! Woohoo.
With the recent death of my mother, I am glad and proud to say that I never have to visit #Florida ever again!
Ukraine is a true inspiration for Europe.
Today, the 24th EU-Ukraine summit took place in Kyiv with Presidents von der Leyen, Michel and Zelenskyy to discuss key issues for Ukraine as it advances on its EU path:
πΉ Ukraine's European path and accession process
πΈ The EU's response to Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine
πΉ Ukraineβs initiatives for just peace and accountability
πΈ Cooperation in the reconstruction of Ukraine

"If Republicans screw up the economy it will be the end of the party."
Their base will believe it's all Biden's fault.
Kevin McCarthy is in over his head when it comes to Joe Biden - Palmer Report
If Republicans screw up the economy it will be the end of the party.

20 years ago my neighbor brought me a white dove that she'd rescued from a flock of crows. She was injured, and could fly very well, and I couldn't find a rehabilitation place that was interested in "just a plain white dove", so I took her in. She lived with me for 15 years. I'd get home from work, open her cage door, she'd fly to the kitchen island to eat some broken up unsalted nuts, and keep me company for the rest of the night. She liked to perch on my head.
@ScottSoCal I hope your wish comes true. π They are such gentle & interesting creatures; good company, too!

To be fair, he *is* responsible for every bad thing that's ever happened in the history of the world. So, you know...
Q: Why is health care free even for tourists in Spain paid for by Spanish taxpayers as a human right and so incredibly expensive and cumbersome in California? Our son fell in the bathtub and we had a $12k bill for a few stitches at Stanford ER.
A: Racism.
People hate Obama's Blackness so much, that their opinion of whether universal healthcare is good or bad depends on if you call it Obamacare.
Racist folk with terminal diseases and no insurance, will vote against free healthcare. Cuz Obama.

We just had solar panels installed, and were warned by the installer that the gap between the solar and the roof would be seen as prime nesting spots by pigeons.
I'm looking forward to it. My neighbors' solar panels have their own nests, I want ours.
A pigeon laid 2 eggs in our balcony flower pot.
Night & day, through rain & sunshine, mama & papa take turns "brooding" β an apt metaphor for the commitment, patience & care required of creatives, before hatching a new idea π

Had to love that config.sys file, it's how you got access to RAM higher than 640K
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
