“You raise your voice, I erase your voice.”
Okay, so Black folk know this messaging. Sandra Bland was killed by this. So many Black folk were lost, beaten, lynched, and disappeared because of this. Generation after generation.
But white people, y’all might not be familiar with police militarization.
See, power needs deference to function, and extreme power needs extreme deference. And if you do not defer to power, your life is forfeit. This is something I grew up knowing. I was like 7 when I learned a cop would just as soon beat me bloody or shoot me as have me speak to him without deference. 50 years ago, I knew that.
But y’all are just learning. Take this to heart: the fact that yelling at a cop can get you killed might come as a surprise to you. But that’s just Tuesday in the ghetto.
I know a lot of y’all spent the last decade or whatever believing that Walter Scott musta done something extremely bad to get shot in the back. But the reality is, it has always been, that all you gotta do is pop off at the mouth to get popped in your chest.
All those birds are comin home to roost, y’all. It ain’t right, but it damn sure ain’t a surprise.
Welcome to the terrordome.

They need you afraid to use your voice because the biggest threat to power is speaking truth to power.

I am gonna put that line into a song for my band, tho. Like it’s hard to not used such lit lyrics when the occupying forces write them for you.

That squirrel has gotten its revenge. He didn't cook it enough. Keith is going home. Tough guys are not cut out for this. Poor guy now has to ride on a boat for ages while monstrously nauseous.

When they're excited about eating a squirrel, things are not going well. Should have been fishing instead of tattooing yourself with a bone, Keith.

Smoothie Bikes Turned Into Game Controllers
Smoothie bikes are a great way to make a nutritious beverage while getting a workout at the same time. [Tony Goacher] was approached by a local college, though, which had a problem with this technology. Namely, that students were using them and leaving them filthy. They posed a simple question—could these bikes become something else?
[Tony’s] solution was simple—the bikes would be turned into game controllers. This was easily achieved by fitting a bi-color disc into the blender assembly. As the wheel on the bike turns, it spins up the blender, with the disc inside. An ESP32 microcontroller paired with a light sensor is then able to count pulses as the disc spins, getting a readout of the blender’s current RPM. Working backwards, this can then be calculated out into the bike’s simulated road speed and used to play a basic game on an attached Raspberry Pi. Notably, the rig is setup such that the Raspberry Pi and one bike connect to an access point hosted by the other bike. This is helpful, because it means neither bike has too many dangling cables that could get caught up in a wheel or chain.
We’ve seen many amusing game peripherals over the years, from salad spinners to turntables. Video after the break.

@oblomov @las_lallero invece l'articolo parla di estoni, che percepiscono la propria identità invasa e sopraffatta, perché qualcuno attribuisce la nascita nell'Unione Sovietica (e insomma hanno pure ragione, anche se storicamente chissà, ma nella realtà niente è semplice e non ci sono sempre risposte nette, non esistono definizioni per chi è nato a metà, i "bastardi", i "mezzosague", i creoli, e alla fine bisognerebbe deporre tutte le armi, anche quelle non fisiche, ma come si fa?)
