Prairie sunrise, 5 February 2026

Straight, flat, snow-covered road. Old wire fence on one side. Scrub bush in the field. Sun is just cresting the horizon and is obscured by trees. Sky is bright orange about the sun reflecting off linear clouds just along horizon, Clouds change to rippled and colour fades from orange to blue to purple

The @dublininquirer crew are looking for help:

"Will you help us with a reporting project? We want to test whether an self-checkout service at a Dublin shop is consistently flagging people with darker skin for extra checks.

"We're looking for people with all different shades of skin to go in and buy a small item, on us, and let us know if you were flagged for extra checks."

A picnic on Portsmouth Square, Chinatown, San Francisco between 1896 and 1906.
Genthe, Arnold, 1869-1942

The image is a black and white photograph featuring two children outdoors, with an adult seated on the curb. The setting appears to be a park or garden area in what looks like early 20th-century attire. One child stands wearing a schoolgirl's outfit while holding a small object. Beside them sits another figure dressed more traditionally, perhaps suggesting cultural heritage representation.
The photo is identified by "Genthe, Arnold" as the photographer and has an accession number indicating it might be part of a collection or archive. It seems to depict a scene from Chinatown in San Francisco between 1896-1906 on Portsmouth Square during a picnic event, capturing a moment that likely holds cultural significance.
This image is significant for its historical context, portraying the intersection of different cultures and traditions within an urban environment at the turn of the century.

This is an illegal & hostile #ActOfWar which only Congress can declare

Here's that 60 minutes segment - not the Canadian guy filming his TV (thank you), but a 1080p grab from a browser someone posted to Internet Archive.

That 1080p video is 1.4GB. This 720p version (crf:35) is under 40MB, which just happens to be the default / most common media size limit for mastodon instances.

NOTE: mastodon re-encoded the upload to 100MB so HERE'S THE 40MB version
👉 https://drive.proton.me/urls/XA5XYQV47M#VSGTMh8TpDEO

This is unconscionable, and must not be covered up. Apparently CNN is running "the story" now; those jackals just want the clicks.

share / download / re-post elsewhere, etc.

Simply remarkable fall off in tourism to the United States.

"The US is down at least $30 billion in tourism for 2025. International boycotts and a loss in appeal to visit due to Donald Trump has resulted in millions of trips canceled." source: Anonymous on Bluesky

"Big data in computational linguistics

"This off-loading of the concerns of dataset construction to a different group of researchers and culture of disdain for data and those who get their hands dirty with it partly set the conditions, I believe, for work on language technology to come unmoored from scientific foundations." --Emily M.
