someday my decades-long conviction that the chemical soup we live in is gonna shorten everyone's lives (some more than others) is gonna be an accepted fact of science

meanwhile...
"Nearly every scientist interviewed for this story does a few simple things. They filter their water, they run an air purifier, they don’t microwave plastic...opt for fragrance-free products, avoid eating out of plastic when they can, and buy organic produce."

[卓榮泰：必將善盡民主憲政守門人職責　勇敢國人請同行⸺中央社](https://www.cna.com.tw/news/aipl/202512140194.aspx)

"行政院長卓榮泰今天表示，當下正有股力量要摧毀國家憲法體制、削弱國家國防安全、破壞國家財政紀律，他必將善盡「民主憲政守門人」職責，就算是拚了命撲倒在球門之前，也要阻止任何違憲行為越雷池一步，「勇敢的國人同胞請與我一起同行」。"

Feven Gerezgiher writes, 'State Rep. Alex Falconer, DFL-Eden Prairie, joined demonstrators around 10:30 a.m. on Saturday. He said it was “reprehensible” and “immoral” for ICE to strand workers on a roof.

'“These are people here building a house in the frigid Minnesota weather for other people to live in. These aren't dangerous people. They're trying to make a buck in this economy,” he said. “I just can't fathom how we got to this point as a society.”'

How many Fediverse software use Markdown as its default text format — rather than HTML?

I think both PeerTube and Lemmy are Markdown native — rather than HTML.

Anything else?

You might be thinking that this is some unusual incident, that the press is cherry-picking and dramatizing the most sensational events.

I live in Minneapolis. The location in this article is pretty close to me. And I am telling you:

The press is •under•-covering what’s happening here. ICE is doing absolutely batshit stuff all the time, every single day, all over the city.

It is exhausting. 🧵

Reviewing Classic Christmas Stories As A Klingon:

A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. A Ferenghi businessman is haunted by three spirits who attempt to remind him of his honor. The Ferenghi should have simply slain the demons who attacked him. 3/5 Christmas Bat'leths. Glory to Tiny Tim!

The Gift of the Magi by O. Henry. Two pathetic humans attempt a mating ceremony in which they sell their most prized possessions in order to purchase gifts for each other. Incomprehensible. Why does the female not simply bite the male to show her affection. 1/5 Christmas Bat'leths.

The Nutcracker by E.T.A. Hoffman. A child's toy comes to life and defeats the evil Rat King in glorious hand-to-hand combat. Then the toy's honor is memorialized in dance and song. A true warrior's tale! 5/5 Christmas Bat'leths.

A Charlie Brown Christmas by Charles M. Shulz. A young warrior struggles with internal demons of self-doubt and depression. While selecting a Christmas tree, he symbolically chooses one which reflects how he views himself - a weak tree, unable to support even a single ornament. He lashes out at those he considers his closest friends, attempting to remind them of their honor, and eventually gives up, believing his efforts were ultimately meaningless. But he is mistaken. His words were spoken with the heart of a true Klingon warrior, and his friends wrap the tree in their most prized possessions, giving it the strength to stand on its own, holding the weight of ornaments many times its own weight over. They gather around and sing songs of bravery and courage, and remind the young Klingon that he too will be welcomed into Sto-vo-Kor. Because sometimes the greatest battle a warrior will ever fight is the one inside his own mind and heart. 6/5 Christmas Bat'leths. Glory to the House of Brown.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr Seuss. A cautionary tale. A Klingon from a lowly house is shunned by his peers and forced to live without honor on the outskirts of town. Instead of seeking honor and glory on his own like a true Klingon, he instead sneaks around under cover of darkness and steals the town's presents with the help of his faithful targ. As punishment, Kah'less removes his warrior spirit and he is doomed to stay in the small town facing his dishonor every day. If he had the heart of a warrior, he would have done battle against Whoville and claimed the glory of Christmas for his own. 4/5 Christmas Bat'leths.

The Nightmare Before Christmas by Tim Burton. The King of Halloween Town assigns three children to kidnap the demon Sandy Claws because he is a coward who refuses to fight his own battles. They too fail, because none of them possess the heart of a warrior. 0/5 Christmas Bat'leths. Tim Burton has no honor.

Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer by Robert L. May. A young warrior is shunned by his peers due to a physical deformity. He leaves his family and house to seek his own glory. He returns after defeating a dentist, a filthy gold-loving Ferenghi prospector, and an abominable snowman. Recognizing his fearless warrior spirit, he is given the place of honor at the front of Santa's sleigh. 5/5 Christmas Bat'leths. Glory upon the House of Rudolph!

Somehow sad that #fosdem proposals get rejected without feedback what could be improved or which part didn't fit. Would be a great opportunity to learn.

This started a little slow (I don't mind that), and by episode five I'm hooked now. Brilliant, heartbreaking, very dark, but with splashes of (admittedly rare) humour.

Federal agents use chemical irritant on crowd in #Somali neighbourhoods of #Minneapolis amid #Trump crackdown

“Armed #ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant & demanded papers.

Federal agents also entered East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN.

They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers.

Everyone present was a US citizen.”
