Of course friend, who's kinda conspiracy-theory/right-wing-media adjacent already, is using this as a "well, the CIA popularized the term to discredit activists" talking point now, even when presented with historical facts...

Happy Monday! #joke

@jonn Supporting the current stance is not questioned. The risk of internal divisions is massive, though - this is visible both from large scale events, and personal anecdotal interactions.
Supposedly "patriotic" Americans are spouting russian lines all the time. And they vote, and they participate in insurrections...

Oh look!

Just today, a report on how pigs can fake evidence, charge you for something that never happened, and get you sent to prison for nothing.

Social science as well.

They tend to hire only lower IQs, sometimes refusing you if you've had an IQ test.

Low IQs means very susceptible to the internal culture.
Less intelligence tends to mean bigoted.

They're hiring a lot of ex vets, who for the last 20 years were trained in urban warfare. We're "the enemy."

Oh, and 27 years ago we discovered that white supremacists were actively infiltrating the police and did nothing about it.

And that is DONE ! ✅ A year long project coming to an end I am so happy !

I've never posted any of my husband's telephoto #moon shots on Mastodon before. They're very popular in our shop and on our Facebook page. On Twitter I have to brace myself for the shouts of Photoshop from people who know zero about photography.

This is #StCatherinesOratory on the #IsleofWight a medieval lighthouse. This shot is achieved by working out when the moon will rise here (rarely) and standing a couple of miles away with a #telephotolens. The weather has to be kind. #photography

I wrote the fourth part of my #blog series “Implementing Co, a small programming language with coroutines”. And this time, we add support for channels in Co for inter-coroutine communication. https://abhinavsarkar.net/posts/implementing-co-4/
