No reasonable law enforcement agency would ever fire a hail of bullets into a car period. Or anywhere else for that matter. It's unnecessary and endangers bystanders.

Oh, thank you for the heads up! I hadn't even thought about this. Just turned off auto-play because I absolutely do not want to see this.

The #Ankh-Meowpurrk Kitten Watch says, "You is gonna come see us at the adoption fair tomorrow, right? Right???" 9am-12 noon in Greensboro. Visit arfpnc.com for more info. #Cats #Kittens #AnimalRescue

Four kittens in an elevated cat bed. They're lined up one in front of the other, looking at you. The one furthest to the right is lying on her side because there's not enough room for her to stand.

alt text party

Hand-drawn infographic on a blue background titled “Why use alt text?” with six panels in a 2x3 grid, each showing a reason with a small sketched social media post:

Slow internet: alt text appears in place of unloaded images.
Findability: alt text helps search content, shown with a search for “dog with banana”.
Screen readers: alt text is read aloud by text-to-speech software, shown as a dark transcript describing a Pomeranian in a banana costume.
Translation: alt text can be translated, shown as English to German.
Readability: text in images can be made legible, shown as scribbled text read as “a character says ‘hello guys’”.
Disambiguation: descriptions clarify intent, shown with a post asking “Can my pet swim?” and an image of a bunny.

Signed “Dremenec 2024”.

Blue infographic titled “Writing alt text.” Five color-coded labels sit at the top: Identify who (green), Expression (pink), Description (teal), Colour (yellow), and Interesting features (orange). Below, a photo of a capybara sitting in a hot spring, with small yuzu fruits floating around it and one balanced on its head. Overlaid text, color-matched to the labels, reads: “A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara’s head.” Source credit in the corner: veroniiiica.com.

I just found out I’m losing my main source of income because AI search has nerfed the revenue of my main client. I am, also, 2000+ miles from home doing photography I expected to pay for with that income. If you can help, I’m hoping to raise $1000 to help cover trip costs & the drive back west.

Let this be your reminder to do something you love today. Fifteen minutes to sit down and read a good book. Go sit and look at the birds. Knit a few rows on that project you enjoyed. Make a batch of something. Paint your nails. Put on some makeup or a nice jacket or tank top. Something fun. Joyful.

Econ 101

Person one: Taught my kids how socialism works. Let them trick or treat while I stayed home. Then took all their candy. Socialism 101.

Person two : The socialism part is where the community came together and fed your kids for free. The capitalism part is where you made them do all the work and stole from them.

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

Four years old was definitely too young to watch this. Especially while eating breakfast. To this day, I cannot eat grape jelly. I also won't poke things I find on the ground with sticks because YOU NEVER KNOW.

Yeah, imposition is HARD. I was chatting with the head of the Roycroft print shop while we were in NY, and we commiserated with each other over it. I use an online app called Bookbinder. bookbinder.app

This build at Bricksboro left me gobsmacked. Just the skill and precision in replicating these engine parts with LEGO! They also had working LEGO engines, too. But these builds just blew me away. /1

A spark plug next to one made of LEGO, next to a piston (?) next to one made of LEGO. The attention to detail is phenomenal.

My favorite build from LEGO Bricksboro yesterday. The level of detail was incredible.

A haunted house scene built from LEGO. A black haunted mansion with spires is in the center. On the left is a skull cave. On the right is a wicker man on a hill. The entire front is a cemetery with mausoleums, zombies, tombstones, ghosts, witches, ruins, and a massive pumpkin patch.

This! Men need to step up and call out other men for when they make sexist/misogynistic jokes/comments, or say/post things that objectify women. But they don't. Every time something like this comes up, they swear they will. But when push comes to shove, they say nothing. So nothing ever changes.

All cross stitch patterns are free (tips welcome) and fully human designed. They're free because you should probably pick your own floss colors instead of relying on what looked good in my pattern app, plus I haven't test stitched them. ko-fi.com/s/0c2a38bee0 2/4
