‘Azul’ the Volkswagen

"Preston Martin figured the retro blue Volkswagen van he slept in for a year during college was a goner, given that he had parked it in a Malibu neighborhood just before the Palisades fire ripped through, reducing homes and cars to rubble and charred metal.
So the surfboard maker was stunned to find that the vehicle had survived. Not only that, a photo of the vibrant bus taken by an Associated Press photographer was circulating widely on television and online, giving viewers a measure of joy."

If you don’t follow the Mltshp slack channel or didn't catch the brief update message on the site, you may have missed the heroic work Brad just completed to update this site we all love so much.
TLDR: he modernized everything, and from our user side of things, it was basically seamless.
His notes on the update:

Thanks for everything you do to keep this place running, Brad!
And thanks to @macmanx for a reminder on how to join the slack: email hello (at) mltshp (dot) com for an invite. The site slack has channels for tech work, general updates/discussion, and more! It's a great way to keep in touch with site developments or jump in and help maintain/improve the site, along with the rest of the excellent volunteers.

Meanwhile the lawyer who was defending Meta's AI use of copyrighted training material quit over the hatred and right wing turn Meta has taken. I've abandoned my accounts at FB and at Instagram, though I never really used Instagram.

It's the week to quit Facebook, I guess. I moved my private FB group to Reddit for now and am deleting the whole account from FB on Friday.

My parents both had been victims of childhood diseases that were ended with vaccination. My dad was crippled for life by polio. It is a shame most of their generation is no longer here to tell the horror stories they lived through. The vaccinated selfish "my angel is special" parents lived in a world protected by vaccines and have no idea what they are exposing the kids to.

After Meta made Instagram even more unsafe for LGBTQ+ folks (and folks in general). I'm leaving after a very long time.
I started a Pixelfed account @artwells@pixelfed.social.
I'll be posting mostly stuff I find in the street, like "What I saw" images, like I do here sometimes, but probably a lot more there.

The fun thing is I don't need a pixelfed account, I can just follow you from my Mastodon account. (though I have noticed in the past that the compatibility between the two isn't perfect)
I set one up as well, but who knows if I'll use it. @dogwelder@pixelfed.social or https://pixelfed.social/i...
Followed you both, hope to see your photos there but no pressure :-)

Sculpture that looks like a layered scroll of paper
A white scroll-like sculpture, 20 metres long and imposing on the small reserve, 'Great Petition' was created by Susan Hewitt and Penelope Lee to commemorate the 100th anniversary of female suffrage in Victoria.

Morning in winter. The sky is clear and blue. A snowy city road is leads between two buildings on either side, power poles on either side. The sun is in the low to mid right of the picture, and a sun dog is visible in almost the exact centre.
This is visually identical to my last post, but was re-exported from Preview. I'm testing to see if it's my photo or the site that's making inverted thumbnails!

Photo of Dan Phiffer, a white guy in his mid-forties. He's looking into the camera and smiling slightly.
New profile pic.
Definite Brian Cox (physicist) vibe going on there.
Great head shot, imo. I like the shading.
@m3moellering thank you! It's an annual birthday tradition of mine. Tripod, manual focus, and a whole lot of terrible blurry shots nobody ever sees.
The thing that sickens me more than anything - the loss of life and homes and workplaces, the high winds and continued danger - is that members of the GOP want to tie disaster aid to required policy changes. If they pulled this shit in red states, people would be calling for their heads on pikes.
Consider this just such a call.
Sorry for the almost-out-of-context diatribe, but what the actual f#ck.
