  • Trail Blazers demand more than arena funding in Portland City Council appearance

    Jump

  • Multi-billion-dollar sports leagues can pay for their own damn stadiums. Don't fall for it, Portland. No public funding. If they insist, then tell them to pound sand.

    Edit: Pardon my lazy use of AI, but the combined wealth of the team's owners is supposedly $10 billion. Fuck these guys, they can pay for the renovations themselves.

  • Matt Damon’s Biceps in That ‘Odyssey’ Fight Scene? They’re Hers.

    Jump

  • actor Matt Damon, who plays Odysseus in Christopher Nolan’s interpretation of Homer’s epic tale, had said in an interview that she had “the greatest arms I have ever seen.”

    Damon had been discussing one of the film’s pivotal scenes when he gently corrected his interlocutor, who had mistakenly assumed the biceps in the shot were his own: They belonged to Dalton, who some might be surprised to learn is his stunt double.

    A shot of Dalton from behind in the scene, holding a sword and ready to pounce at the giants, is used in one of the posters for the movie.

    Confirmed. That's a damn fine arm.

  • Threadiverse Major Defederations Graph

    Jump

  • In such a case, would the two instances still effectively be defederated?

    I think so? That's what I would expect, at least.

    But watch the video of Portishead's Roseland NYC Live and tell me Beth Gibbons crooning with a cigarette isn't dope as hell. You can't.

  • Threadiverse Major Defederations Graph

    Jump

  • If you want to complicate the graph further, I believe hexbear federates using an allow list. Blahaj, lemmy.ca, and sh.itjust.works are not on the allow list, so they are effectively defederated. I haven't looked further to see which other large instances may be affected.

  • The beehaw.org/sh.itjust.works defederation is really one-way. Beehaw defederated from us after some exceptionally bad trolls were operating from sh.itjust.works in 2023. IIRC, they requested that we also defederate from them to really make sure the split was made. We honored their request.

    We would happily reconnect if Beehaw decided they want to federate with us again. If not, then that's fine; they have a right to associate with whomever they like.

    I believe infosec.pub temporarily defederated from us around the same time for the same reason. It was a rough time.

  • The American "communist" party

    Jump

  • I recognize Lyndon LaRouche. When his followers showed up on my college campus they were always entertaining in a crazy-meets-stupid sort of way. So maybe this group will at least be good for a laugh or two.

  • What good things have happened to you, or for you, over the last week?

    Jump

  • Yeah, a good pair of boots is a wonderful thing. "Never cheap out on anything that separates you from the ground" and all that. My old pair are heavy-duty hiking boots that have taken me all over the mountains. But my feet are getting wider as I get older. A bad blister last week finally spurred me to shop for something new.

    Jump

  • My region is known for cherries and (to a lesser extent) peaches. So as far as climate goes, I would say they fit right in with other stone fruit.

    As for care, I am a clumsy and sometimes negligent caretaker. The tree is well established in my backyard and does not seem to need much aside from water. I prune it every year or two (my pruning jobs are ugly but the tree doesn't seem to care). The biggest chore is picking up all of the fallen fruit before it attracts too many wasps.

    Jump

  • I bought new boots, and they are a huge upgrade for my old boots. I should have done this years ago! So much lighter, so much more comfortable.

    Also, my backyard apricot tree produced a fantastic crop this year. The freezer is full of fruit for making jam in autumn when the weather is cooler, and the dehydrator has been running nightly.

    Looking for feedback: First draft of multi-level guidelines for Fedecan and its various platforms (lemmy.ca, sh.itjust.works, piefed.ca, pixelfed.ca)

    Jump

  • I suggest we not allow it, and I think the proposed Rule 5 covers that case. Seeking vigilante justice on the internet is a dangerous game. It is much too easy to misidentify someone, or to act on inaccurate information. There are plenty of documented cases out there of innocent people coming to harm. Two high-profile examples come to mind:

    A university professor wrongly identified as a participant at a white supremacist rally (the article includes other examples, too): https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-40935419

    The Boston Marathon bombing in 2013, where a bunch of innocent people were wrongly accused and faced harassment: https://www.scu.edu/ethics/focus-areas/internet-ethics/resources/social-media-and-the-boston-marathon-bombing/
