A Möbius strip walks into a bar, sobbing. The bartender asks, “What's wrong, buddy?” The Möbius strip replies, “Where do I even begin?”

Across America and the world, people are realizing it’s not possible to appease America’s dictator. The only way to deal with him is to stand up to him — and the only way to stand up to him is by joining together against him. It's time for a massive general strike across the country.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

For fuck's sake, (rhetorically), why is the default to sell my personal information? I think we would all rather be asked to opt-in than opt-out of that. Who the fuck wants their personal information sold at no benefit to them?

Water’s velvet fall, Whispered secrets in the green, Ancient forest dreams.
A mesmerizing long-exposure photograph of a multi-tiered waterfall deep within the lush Gifford Pinchot National Forest. The upper cascade flows in a fan-like spread, its water tumbling delicately over dark, jagged rock formations covered in vibrant green moss. The moss appears velvety, its dense texture clinging to the uneven surfaces and radiating a golden-green hue that glows softly in the dim forest light. The water gathers briefly in a narrow ledge pool before descending into the striking lower tier.

The lower cascade plunges in a powerful, uninterrupted vertical stream, its silky, white ribbons of water in sharp contrast to the shadowy, rugged cliff face behind it. The rock wall, coated in damp moss and streaked with earthy tones of black and brown, adds an intricate texture that reflects the interplay of light and shadow. At the base, the water crashes into a swirling, misty pool, its frothy surface rippling outward in soft concentric patterns, giving a dynamic sense of movement.

The surrounding forest is a dense mosaic of greens, ranging from the deep, shadowy emerald of towering evergreens to the bright, lime-green tones of moss and ferns. Thin, wiry branches from nearby conifers frame the edges of the waterfall, some with delicate, feathered needles reaching into the scene. A fallen tree, stripped of its bark, rests diagonally across the upper tier, its weathered gray surface adding a stark yet natural contrast to the lush greenery.

The subdued, overcast lighting enhances the richness of the colors and the textures, allowing the details to emerge softly but distinctly. The mist rising from the falls creates a dreamy, ethereal atmosphere, softening the transition between the cascading water and the dense forest. This photograph captures the raw, untouched beauty and serene power of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, a place where water and vegetation intertwine to form an enchanting, timeless landscape.

This place has probably got some stories! #isleton #delrio #bayareabackroads
A teal door lit up by the morning sun. There is a padlock on the door and a neon sign of a martini that has been turned off in the window. There’s bricks on both sides of the door and fall leaves in the foreground.A vintage hotel marquee of the “hotel Del Rio”. The sign has neon lights around all of the letters, the outside of the sign, a star on the bottom and above the word “Rio”” there is a neon martini.There is a hand painted sign for the “del Rio” on the window. There is plastic taped up behind the window to disclose what is on the inside. In the reflection of the glass, there is a palm tree contrasted up against the sky.

Haze
A serene view of Lake Tipsoo near Mt. Rainier, Washington, with the mountain shrouded in a thick layer of haze from nearby wildfires. The lake, nestled in a verdant meadow surrounded by tall evergreen trees, reflects the soft, diffused light of the overcast sky. 

Beyond the lake, layers of forested ridges and mountain peaks fade into the distance, each successively more obscured by the smoky haze. Mt. Rainier, typically a dominant feature in the background, is only faintly visible, its snow-covered peak blending into the muted sky. 

The scene feels peaceful yet slightly eerie, as the haze from the wildfires softens the landscape and colors, creating an atmosphere of quiet isolation.

--PT--

Vista serena do Lago Tipsoo, próximo ao Monte Rainier, com a montanha envolta em névoa de incêndios florestais. O lago reflete a luz suave, cercado por pinheiros e prados verdes. Ao fundo, picos montanhosos se desvanecem na névoa, com o Rainier apenas visível. A cena transmite paz e mistério.

Hey @tolgamert.nl , some of @lovefairy.nl ‘s posts are getting cut off. Should she maybe reply in thread with the rest, or just make a second post? Do you have the code in a public repo btw? I really appreciate her posts and likes on my posts. Thank you for building her!
