Facade of the Cathedral of Silves in Silves, Portugal. The image shows the large Gothic-style arched entrance with heavy wooden doors, framed by columns and pointed stonework. The upper whitewashed wall has a small circular window and a cross at the top, with the sun shining brightly in the clear blue sky to the right.

A black-and-white photo of an ape holding onto a thick rope attached to a large wooden beam. The ape is posed mid-motion with one arm raised, set against a rough concrete wall in what appears to be an enclosure.

A sandy beach with several people walking and relaxing under wooden parasols, located in front of a large, curved modern hotel building with multiple balconies. The hotel sits adjacent to a stone wall and overlooks the beach. In the background, there are white residential buildings on a hill under a lightly clouded sky with birds flying.

Three young swallows perched on a wire in Silves, Portugal, photographed on August 20, 2024. The birds are fluffed up, with one looking forward and the others turned slightly to the side, possibly preening or resting. They are gathering strength and preparing for their long migratory journey to Africa, a seasonal behavior that begins in late summer as temperatures change and food sources shift.

A vivid sunset sky painted in intense orange and red hues, crisscrossed by numerous bright contrails left by airplanes, forming a chaotic yet striking pattern. Silhouetted against the fiery sky are urban elements including leafless trees, rooftops, and various towers—most notably the iconic Berlin TV Tower (Fernsehturm) near the center and multiple communication and power line towers. The lower part of the image shows a darkened cityscape, creating a strong contrast with the glowing sky above.

That one sunset in Berlin

Trump bombs Yemen allegedly to stop Houthi missiles from hitting Israeli ships. Except that the Houthi ceased firing in November, respecting the Gaza ceasefire. In short, Trump is heralding (1) Israel's intent to violate the ceasefire (2) his preemptive complicity in this!

Post from Peter Sweden: BREAKING: The European Federation of Journalists representing 320.000 journalists have announced they will stop posting on X.

They will halt on January 20, 2025 when Trump takes office, noting the “threat to democracy and freedom of expression posed by the cooperation between the president of the most powerful country in the world, Donald J. Trump, and the richest man in the world, Elon Musk…”

The Blu-Ray authoring software I use is called Kite UHD, it's programmed and supported by just two guys in Ukraine, and it's only one of about 3 software programs in the world that can author 4K Blu-Rays. And it's done by 2 guys in a war zone, and they always answer my emails the same day

That’s probably the most detailed image alt text I’ve seen over here.

I'd rather they put a bullet in my head than grovel before these fascists. I will never comply.

This is the next phase that Kiwi Farms members have stated they will do - constructing look-alike blocklists and then adding popular trans people to them after the fact, once the blocklist is seeded in the community. Make sure any block list you use says who runs it.

Called it.

I would like to speak up today for the trans community.

You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1

What it feels like posting every single thought that crosses my mind on this app.

No idea, probably some keyword like self hosted.

I have successfully migrated my account to a self hosted PDS. It was quite simple.

After setting up the PDS I ran the code they have as an example with a change to prompt for the token you get by email. You can use prompt() for this.

Please note this is a one-way street for now.
