"The Washington Post’s Pulitzer prize-winning editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes has resigned from her position at the newspaper after its refusal to publish a satirical cartoon depicting the outlet’s owner, Jeff Bezos – along with other media and technology barons – kneeling before Donald Trump as he gears up for his second US presidency."

Finally declaring victory in my little pump repair project. Gårdspump Nr. 12 back in business -- water is flowing again! #ShotonLibrem5

Today's project: tear-down of an old pump, trying to make it work again. It had been working fine for about 50 years, then stopped working last year. I think that had something to do with wasps building a nest in it and parts of that nest got pushed down which might have messed up the mechanism inside.
This is what we in Sweden call a "gårdstolva" - Gårdspump Nr. 12 🙂 #ShotOnLibrem5
Seach engine comparison: Mojeek vs Duckduckgo
Today's search: "skitsystem"
Search result quality: Mojeek is better, includes quality links such as http://javlaskitsystem.se/ and "Boktips: Jävla skitsystem - boken om den digitala arbetsmiljön"
Privacy: Mojeek is better, uBlock Origin blocks lots of bad things for Duckduckgo but nothing for Mojeek. Also, Duckduckgo shows links to "facebook" and "youtube" which are very bad regarding privacy.
Winner in both categories: Mojeek
Went to the cabin this weekend, looking forward to eating some of the food I had left there last time.
"Let's cook some rice!" -- oh wait, no, I guess the mice have eaten all the rice.
"Ok that's fine, no problem, we still have that tasty muesli!" -- oh, no we don't. The mice ate all of that too.
There was a packet of ramen also that they chewed a hole in but they only ate about half of that, not as yummy I guess.
Lesson learned: need to put everything in glass jars.
Look closely and you can make out a dewy #spiderweb I spotted on my way to work this morning. #ShotOnLibrem5
This seems like a fitting illustration of how many companies nowadays attempt to force-feed people various "AI" products. There should have been an "AI" label on the machine, you'll have to imagine that. 🙂
From Charlie Chaplin's "Modern Times" film, 1936.
Watching The Wire again. Even though I've seen it like four or five times before it still beats everything else, nothing else even comes close.
Sometimes I've tried to understand what makes it so good, I think part of it is that I like the characters so much, they're so real and so human. I mean all of them, both the cops and the gangsters.
What do you think? Will there ever be another series that can match The Wire?
Help, the #ducklings are attacking! #gräsand #ShotOnLibrem5 in #brunnsviken near #stockholm

#EU #election poster for Centerpartiet spotted in #Stockholm today:
"Håll gränsen mot massövervakning" - means approximately "stand firm against mass surveillance" - Svante Linusson and Muharrem Demirok
Glad to see them pushing this important issue in the election. I hope it gets them some votes.
Election day is in two weeks, on June 9. Don't forget to vote!
