Heard chanting and marching while doing yardwork, zipped over to check it out, and…

…lo and behold! an emergency protest in favor of immigrants rights, organized by miracmn.com in response to the SCOTUS threatening birthright citizenship.

Despite the apparent short notice, folks brought their game. Got a couple of photos (with permission). The guillotine actually moves up and down while the rider pedals!

Now I’m on MIRAC’s mailing list, so hopefully I don’t miss the next one.

Also, though…it is just deeply heartening to randomly encounter a protest: not a thing that I already knew about, but a thing that just •showed up• in my neighborhood. It makes me feel like the circle of resistance is much bigger than my own little circle. And it is.

That’s the feeling I want us to create: “Wow, these protests are everywhere.”

in reply to Paul Cantrell

Things like this are not just a symbolic expression of discontent.

Fascism depends to a •very• large extent on anticipatory compliance. It needs people to feel like things are going that way, it’s already a done deal, better to just go along with it.

Every time dissent is visible, every way dissent feels ubiquitous, every time somebody feels like they’re not alone in opposition, every time somebody who’s tempted to comply fears there might be hell to pay if they do — that directly, concretely damages the fascists’ power.

@Bruce @Thumper1964 I also remember APH's version of that calculator, which they called the Student Speech Plus calculator. It was essentially the same but the rocker switch on the right hand side had a different function. I can't remember which version did which function but one calculator used the rocker switch to control the speed that the result was spoken. The other calculator, I think, used the rocker switch to silence keyboard entry.

Oh no, I just had a look at the Monarch Braille display page, aph.org/product/monarch/, and the price literally had me… Now I do wish I was a monarch with a lot of money to play with! :)

@CallumStoneman @cublanco not sure how I'd power such a design. NVDA remote doesn't output audio, so I'd need to do tts on-device. Something like an eSP32 probably wouldn't cut the mustard for the level of text to speech we'd want. I mean I could live the dream and solder in an RC8650 from the doubletalk people, I suppose. But nobody'd buy that other than me.

You can RSVP for the live stream, check out our amazon registry, and my favorite part is the guestbook. You can record a video message for us. I'd love to get some messages and RSVP's from all around the world. Including from the penguins in Antarctica. Wait. Do penguins even live there?

🤖 AI slop is flooding open source bug bounty programs.

#AudioMo Day 30 part 2: Here's an honorary mention.
I came up with this slow, plodding, barely moving thing about an hour ago and called it 'Incandescent Heat' because that's about all I can manage today.
It feels sad, contemplative and like saying farewell, so it seemed fitting to post again before the month runs out. Or in this case, slowly shuffles out in it's hot slippers like the old man it is.

AI slop classic, somebody files a bug report for a vuln, doesn’t disclose they’ve used AI when asked, argues in the comments - and includes his AI prompt in the paste.
