To those who want to know.
Why waste the rain?
I'm obsessed with gardening systems that utilize rainwater without the use of barrels or cisterns. My ultimate fav is using bioswales to catch and filter stormwater on the street.
Fun addition: Dams that utilize trees to catch dirt/ stop erosion, and prevent disaster that can come from broken dams.
Also:
SUSTAINABLE URBAN DRAINAGE! SUDS!
We need more of them, in the right places!
Also, using these to reduce stormwater loads in storm events, particularly in places with combined stormwater and sewage systems, could/would be helpful at reducing river discharges of raw sewage. (If climate change is factored in at system level cos more rain in less time needs to be accouted for at rhe large scale designs...)
Plus using constructed wetlands to retain these discharges and treat them before rivers too!
how did a woman manage to date elvira for 19 years and not tell every single person she knows
Note how she states that it was more difficult to get permits to do this shit than actually coordinate the drones.
Companies will want to do more of this, but environmental/wildlife laws make it difficult. So, they'll lobby to weaken them. Be vigilant. This woman accidentally said the quiet part loud. They won't let that happen again - this is our only warning
Also tire iron is effective
A tire iron is ineffective.
Look, if someone was very irresponsible they'd look up drone parts and buy a set of 2.4GHz and 5GHz directional antennas (yagi or, not patch) and then get a set of 2.4GHz and 5Ghz noise generators (illigal almost everywhere) or look up how to make them (weirdly easy to do apparently) and then they would wait for the display to start and turn on their contraption with the antennas point towards the display. Because the drones would be communicated to from the main computer on either 2.4GHz or 5Ghz, a contraption like this would cause anything from a section, to all, of the drones losing communication and automatically landing. The fact that they waited until the display was in progress means that all that set up time would have been waisted so the rest of the show can't go ahead and they'll have to spend a few days checking everyone over.
Don't do this. it's very illigal to make a jamming device. Even though you'd be using a long range antenna so youd be safely far away and almost totally undetectable even to people beside you, especially if you hid it in a bag or small box. It's very illigal. Don't.
I think “gamers” don’t deserve Early Access, tbh
Is early access an excuse to release an unfinished product sometimes? Yea, for sure
But like. Functionally it serves as a way for live experience testing to be done on a game. It’s a way to dial it in on what people want, and on how to best make the game.
This means that, stars above, you don’t need to fucking review bomb it the second there’s a problem, you have avenues for giving feedback, stop saying the game is doomed because there’s been one bad update ffs
This brought to you by the embarassing state of people talking about both Slay the Spire 2 and Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core

May 22, 2026 - A noble street rat in Berlin displays his kind's strong sense of justice, as he attacks and disturbs a line of the lowliest and most dishonorable kind of vermin one could ever hope to meet: German riot police on their way to attack a Palestinian solidarity demonstration. [video]

How the Pentagon Leaned on Hollywood to Sell the War in Afghanistan
It’s worth noting that the original iron man comic with the origin story was imperialist propaganda for the Vietnam war, with Tony being kidnapped by a Chinese communist warlord in Vietnam (not a real thing that existed) before escaping with the iron man suit
Its kinda interesting how there are multiple cases of media that is sinophobic to begin with but then becomes Islamophobic in the adaptation
Fun Fact: the primary victims of the Vietnam War were not the American soldiers, but the 3 million Vietnamese civilians
Similarly, if Trump sends troops to Iran (which is seeming likely) you need to understand that these people chose to go and kill civilians, the primary victims of American Imperialism are the ones who we wage war on
the secondary vitims will be all the soldiers that either come back dead, wounded, or fucked up severely, on either side.
Nope!
American soldiers signed up to kill people, they aren't victims

if i had to explain what tumblr is like i’d only show this
No one seems to be acknowledging the far funnier element of this, which is, that when you go to the commenter’s account, you find out they are actually fucking roleplaying as a sexually repressed skeleton and jjst really committed to the bit while everyone in the reblogs is talking about how much they hate minors or whatever. thank you kharak the skeleton servant of the almighty lich king

happy glorious 25th of may
thinking about that one wordless calvin and hobbes sunday strip thats just calvins dad ditching his work to go play in the snow... its going to make me cry
ohhhh my god
”#I LOVE that the comic keeps the lens on Calvin’s dad to the degree of not even showing Calvin’s excited face when his dad surprises him, #You can see the joy and excitement of the moment in his pose and reflected in his dad’s expression, #it’s a great little artistic decision, #I realized what gets me about it it’s the hat covering his dad’s head and hair so the dad just looks like Calvin. #you don’t HAVE to show Calvin! You already see him in the dad becoming a kid for a moment you only have to draw that once”
Now that the Flotilla members have been released and with those photos of brutal physical abuse and sexual assault, can we admit that there is no line they wouldn't cross. Let's be serious the israelis know that even attacking the "untouchable" ie people with european and american passports won't cut off the aid they get from the very countries the members come from. Its a message to peaceful advocates everywhere that they are not hesitant to treat you like palestinian prisoners. And i think the lib zionist reaction that this is "ben gvirs doing" is so fucking laughable. If the israeli government really disapproved they would arrest him. This faux condemnation of ben gvir is a distraction from the fact that hes been given greenlight to do whatever he wants bc israel is a settler colony. Their purpose is eradication of the indigenous people. There are no red lines.
I said this before but there is no peaceful action or violent act that the israelis wont respond to with violence. And the israelis will respond to violence from Palestinians with incredible violence. But violence threatens them the most. When an iof soldier is killed, when a checkpoint is attacked, when a wall is breached after years of standing, it shows the holes in their power structure. It tells other palestinians that there are ways to hurt them, that they are not totally invincible. That is why they reacted to october 7th with horrific violence bc palestinians everywhere learned that a multi biilion dollar wall with latest technology can be breached with less. This is why standing with palestinians that raise guns and trying to meet them where they are is important. We wont ever raise an army equal to them, but we dont need to. Empires have come down with less. The FLN was almost completely disarmed and imprisoned in Algeria but France left only a few years later to a renewed rebellion.The French didn't leave bc their people "got tired of the war," their people got tired bc it was clear to them that the indigenous will always fight and their colony will never be secure. The US dropped millions of napalm bombs on Vietnam and left but they could have continued. These empires have the money and the weaponry but when they realize that no weapon will give them total control, then their effort will be abandoned. But under the oppressed who love their land, there will be traitors but there will always be those fighting no matter the cost. That is the difference and that is why armed resistance matters more than boycotts and more than flotillas. If there is no palestinian with a weapon, then there is no threat to israeli power
tara knight's recent essay "dump your puppygirl" is the worst, most dangerous, most transmisogynistic and most ableist piece of shit I've ever seen out of a "transfeminist" piece.
Weaponized incompetence wears a collar
this is not even the half of it. somehow every single sentence has what i can only describe as pure unadulterated hate for an incredibly vulnerable group of people. i dont think i could even cover how all of this is terrible. comparing a trans woman to that of a masculine opppressor. framing her as a parody of a woman that exploits the feminized labor of others like a goddamn businessman. very clearly stating that receiving labor you can't reciprocate is a bad thing. very clearly stating that being supported financially is a moral failing. very clearly stating that having emotional breakdowns is manipulative.
this article was written about the worst caricature of a "crippled leech on society", and rather than address the obvious communication issues displayed in the dynamics present the proposed solution is to oust (kill) the most vulnerable, marginalized party.
as a woman who relies on a caregiver to survive, who identifies with being a puppygirl and functionally inhabits the social position of a child, upset is an understatement with regards to how i feel. if my caregiver took this advice for either me or our mutual girlfriend we would both die. if the people in this hypothetical scenario took this advice the puppygirl would die. systemically if people absorb this information and act according to what it says those who rely on them will die. this is not just a shitty mistake. it's not an understatement to say this is violent and could have terrible consequences.
just because some people have dysregulated emotional responses, baggage, disability or otherwise a position of extreme vulnerability does not mean you can or should just dump us. it is on both of you to communicate and work through issues. do not kill your puppygirl
