I second kiwix. It's dead easy for managing and making copies of wiki images.

Intentionally being on Broadway at 1-4 PM on a Sunday is a whole vibe, and that's before considering whatever the fuck this is.

Democratizing graphic design, Nashville style

Description: genAI artifact depicting guitarist Slash as a cat. This cursed critter is advertising a public appearance by a twitter poster. The event is titled "TURDSTOCK 2025". Also, the cat doesn't appear to be polydactyl, which seems like a missed opportunity tbh.

Those comments are appalling. good god

Maybe its because I'm descended from hillbilly dirt farmers and so I had an unusually grounded upbringing, but I'm floored that so many educated people can be so lost in cloud cuckoo land.

It feels unreal, or maybe like an out-of-control prank. The sort of thing that drives a man to develop a curly mustache and paint melty clocks.

Part of me still refuses to believe that they're serious.

I heard him say "quantum" and immediately came here looking for fresh-baked sneers

 

This is peak laziness. It seems that the reading list's author used autoplag to extrude the entire 60 page supplemental insert. The author also super-promises this has never happened before.

 

Absolutely delusional wishcasting on the part of our very good friends.

Pro-tier sneers by seasoned veterans, get em while they're hot!

Edit: I am reliably informed that it is no longer hot.

 

From the Uplifting News Department, an event that was brought to our attention by Wandering.shop member David Croyle. Specifically, that time that the administrators of rpg.net bluntly declared that their website is officially a No Nazis Bar.

There were no follow-up questions: https://wandering.shop/@croyle/113980700961699526

 

Looks like a local boy did good.

I linked the /r/nashville post since it has a good description of the website. Users can see a history of rent prices for a given property and its neighbors, which gives some leverage in negotiations. For more context, local rent prices are down 6% from highs.

I'm curious to see if it takes off, and how robust it is against adversarial tactics like bogus reports and nuisance lawsuits.

EDIT: Fixed "Blocked" issue by linking to archive

EDIT2: Also linked to the correct archive page

Rojava has built what seems like a robust, equitable, bullshit-resistant mutual aid system in the face of incredible resistance. The idea of a system that can be an autonomous administration in some areas while operating--possibly legally--in parallel with a nation-state government in others is something I find very appealing.

I'm having a hard time understanding how the underlying system works in detail. I think this is largely due to a language barrier.

Any recommendations for Bookchin/Öcalan type reading for beginners? I've procrastinated on it because I hate reading theory (and it's always embarrassing to need hand holding at my age), but needs must. I haven't had much luck turning up English language stuff that lays out how the system works in a way I could share with a casual observer.

John Mulaney gets paid by prompt fondlers to tell jokes at a party. He spends 45 minutes telling them that they are idiots, which is nice.

 

When you think MURDER, think MARCUS MUNITIONS!
