A relatively little thing, but little things add up
"There are the conservation consequences to think of, which I’ll get to, but more importantly is the symbolic significance. Bears Ears was originally proposed and conceived of and pushed by five sovereign tribal nations — with the backing of another two dozen tribes — who were looking to protect lands that had been stolen from them and put into the “public domain.”

I'm celebrating the return of Spring with a new Honda CBR650R! (Album)
After selling my Ninja 1000SX because I realized that it wasn't the right bike, I did a test ride on this exact bike at The Brothers Powersports in Bremerton on a stormy day a couple weeks back, then later that night I put a deposit on it. I had the shop put some comfort mods on the bike (heated grips, quickshifter, top case rack, frame sliders) over the past week and then took the bus and ferry last Friday to pick it up, which took forever because I had to wait an hour for the ferry! I did have to ride home with a backpack on, which wasn't fun, but I got it safely home and then spent all of Saturday started putting more mods on it (GPS charging mount and adjustable rearsets because my long legs were cramped). It was kind of a bummer missing out on the nice weather Saturday, but with the bike all buttoned up, I'll be able to any upcoming warm weather! Even better is that I bought it out of pocket and don't have to deal with financing!
On the ferry ride home Friday, I ran into the same lady I saw when I headed home from Bremerton after test riding the bike. Her name was Loki and she was headed with her partner Isaac from her home on the Olympic Peninsula to Seattle to teach circus performers.
(I realize my eyes were closed in the photos. Bummer!)

En av uppdragen som #Försvarsmakten kan hjälpa #polisen med är tydligen it-forensik. Det blir ju superbra!
Snabbutbilda ett gäng it-nerdar med en powerpoint i rättssäkerhet och beviskedjor och rättegångsbalken och polislagen och brottsbalken. Det blir kanon! Ja just det, det ska snabbändras lagar också...

Heading to Winnipeg tomorrow for meetings of the #ELCIC.
There is an interview on CBC with the national bishop (time 9:10) about searching the landfill for the two missing indigenous women. This is a gesture of support and solidarity at #CampMorgan The landfill must be searched as a call for justice. Systemic racism rears its ugly head in such an abhorrent fashion.

You can hear the pain of the family. Where are these women? -
Tucker Carlson is an agent of the Kremlin. He's not stupid, so he can't be classified as a useful idiot. He is knowingly and willfully acting as an apologist for Russia, and Vladimir Putin. And he doesn't have any problem with employing vicious antisemitism in service to his agenda to discredit and defame Ukraine. The man is a disgrace, and we should point that out every time he rears his bigoted head.

When #TeamPierre aka #PpForPM start slinging Republican rhetoric like “The anti-energy, anti-business, woke, Liberal-NDP coalition is running full speed ahead to seize control of Cdn industry and insert themselves into every aspect of Canadians’ day to day lives.” you know #Cons have gone over to the US dark side. Racist vulgar white male supremacy rears its toxic ugliness and tries to proclaim itself king. #CdnMedia oh look, belly lint. #Postmedia oh look, US saviours.

Its Sunday and I sing praises to my one of my favorite neighbors, the marvelous
# Coyote Bush (#Baccharis pilularis,) native to ca coastal chapparal habitats.
Coyote Bush, the house on the block where everyone's welcome and everyone hangs out. A warm hearted Grandma and Grandpa that takes care of everyone. A reliable babysitter. A favored safe place for deer, to take a nap, give birth, leave fawns while mama has lunch. Quail do the same. Favorite place for small birds to build nests. Coyote Bush harbors and rears young hardwoods. An acorn or madrone berry, who lands under a coyote bush has a good chance of becoming a full grown tree. Coyote bush blooms in late fall, and winter, is an important food source for insects, at a time of year when food is scarce.
Coyote Bush cares for the soil too. She is one of the best erosion control plants in existence. The upslope, dry ground, equivalent of Willow.
She holds her ground,
on a landslide,
the one part that doesn't slide has Coyote Bush.
Coyote Bush can be propagated by cuttings. 18" long, thumb sized canes can be planted directly in the ground during the rainy season, leaving 4 -6 " above ground. Happily grows in poor soil, on bare bank road cuts, and landslides.
Coyote Bush is one of my preferred bioengineering resource plants, excellent for constructing brush dams and branch packing, to stabilize gullies caused by culverts, and class 3 watercourses.
Coyote Bush has a fire resistant waxy resin on the leaves. A great drought tolerant landscaping plant, that can easily be pruned into a hedge. Coyote Bush has male and female plants.

This has long been a bugbear of mine and it is good that the Bondi RC is looking into it.
“Royal Commissioner Virginia Bell flagged the inquiry had received a number of submissions from some Jewish people and others who believed the definition of antisemitism the inquiry adopted could be "weaponised in order to suppress criticism of Israel".
It doesn’t take a savant to know the difference between #AntiSemitism and the various flavours of #AntiIsrael, #AntiZionism, #Anti-Ultranationalism, and #Anti-NetanyahuRegime, yet arguably smart and competent peeps seem to have a hard time of it; in particular most political leadership in Australia. Which can only mean one thing. THe conflation of all these terms is a #PoliticalChoice made by fully rational decisions. The question then remains: Why is it so?
I suspect that power and wealth has a lot to do with it along with egocentric, not to say narcicyst, tendencies.

CW: More about not great mental health
Unfortunately I’m still in a really crappy headspace today. This is due to many little or trifling things that, in the grand scheme of things, could be considered mere annoyances but, put together all at once, are really affecting my mental health. In a moment of absolute insanity, I agreed to serve as secretary for our homeowner association board. I’m now learning,too late, what a thankless job this is. Lots and lots of stuff is being thrown at me at once, a lot of which I can’t deal with immediately because of #A11Y issues. They don’t seem to grasp the A11Y concept. Our monthly board meeting is tonight, needless to say I’m not looking forward to it. Another example: Recently I started joining the #BITS chats on the weekend. Those who know know. I thought that might be a good way to reach out to others and extend my circle. Last night, I dialed in, and for about five minutes, I was completely ignored. I have the same problem there that I have in big rooms with a lot of people talking at once, where I have no idea when to jump in, and I usually guess wrong. The stress of this is one of the rare times that my childhood stutter rears its ugly head. I dialed in later, and for reasons unknown I was put on mute. I couldn’t unmute, so I left. To be fair, I know none of this is personal or directed at me in any way. But when your head is messed up you get some stupid messages. Anyway, that’s where I’m at today.

Golden Hours Released New Album “Beyond Wires” Via Fuzz Club
‘Beyond Wires’, the sophomore album from Berlin/Brussels post-punk group Golden Hours is out today on Fuzz Club. Alongside the release of their second full-length, the band are also releasing a video for ‘The Same Thing’ – following earlier singles ‘The Letter’, ‘Heading For The Moon’, and ‘Arctic Desert’.
Based between Berlin and Brussels, Golden Hours are Hákon Aõalsteinsson, Wim Janssens, Tobias Humble and Rodrigo Fuentealba Palavacino – an outfit of seasoned players who between them have performed as part of Gang Of Four, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Tricky, The Fuzztones and more. Golden Hours first rumbled out of the shadows in 2023 with their self-titled debut and are now emerging once more with ‘Beyond Wires’.
‘Beyond Wires’ was knit together in-between the tours and other obligations of its four members, written and recorded in rehearsal rooms in Berlin and an old mansion in Brussels. “The latter definitely put its stamp on the record with its noisy electric static bleeding into every song”, says Wim. But a band like Golden Hours never shies away from these things: they lean into it and welcome those ghostly appearances with open arms and just try to out-fuzz the buzz with layers of noise and strong melodic elements that cut through like a knife.
“With the new album, the band is stealthily moving closer to a sonic space that we can call our own”, says Wim. The sum of all the influences gathered in the recording room could easily crush any other band that doesn’t have the mileage under its belt like Golden Hours has – but for all the influences deeply encoded in its DNA, the band is able to add their flavor time and time again.
‘Beyond Wires’ is the sound of four people gathering in a Berlin rehearsal room, punching holes in a wall and picking up the fallen bits to create something new over the course of a few days. Not easily distracted or outgunned in the game of trial and error that is still their favorite tool in the creative process, Golden Hours seems to swear by the simplest of rules: “A light shakin’ of the head to the left and right will kill a weak idea in a heartbeat, when no-one says anything the idea is likely accepted. You’ve got to keep the roads clear, to let all the good stuff pass through. You can throw up road blocks in your own time.”https://youtu.be/82YjtSwxIHU?si=FY6Lk9aOIop119Ho
On the release week single ‘The Same Thing’, Wim says: “The Same Thing leans heavily on Tobias deadpan drum groove and shows the band in full repetitive kraut modus. The song was the last one added to the long-list for the album. When all tracks were recorded, the question was asked: did anyone still have any gems hidden up their sleeves? Hakon started playing this guitar riff, and we all instantly locked in, and within 15 minutes, a song structure appeared. After 2 takes, the basic track was nailed. The song took a slight turn when vocals and extra layers were added in post-production, away from the obvious and into more atmospheric realms, in sync with the overall sound of the album.”
“The song is about the inevitable that comes for you, mostly in moments when you let your guard down. Good things, bad things…The ground beneath your feet can disappear in an instant. It’s the stuff you can never prepare for unless you want to live your life in fear, hiding in a bunker somewhere in a desert where the floods can’t reach you. And it hardly ever happens to you alone, even when no one else gets hit, there’s always collateral damage, stuff that pops up and rears its ugly head years after the avalanche turned your world upside down. It’s a cleansing ritual at best if you’re able to get from under the snow. You can’t keep an eye on everything all the time, and you probably won’t see or hear it coming anyway, but as Tom Waits so beautifully put it:“We’re all gonna be just dirt in the ground”, so no need to go check on your car that fell into that sinking hole before your time is up.”

Protestwandeling / herdenking Februaristaking 2026
Mr. Visserplein, Amsterdam, woensdag 25 februari om 18:00 CET
(English below)
Op 25 februari 1941 kwamen Amsterdammers massaal in opstand tegen de naziterreur jegens hun Joodse stadsgenoten. Tienduizenden arbeiders stopten met werken en legden Amsterdam twee dagen plat: de jaarlijks herdachte Februaristaking. Maar herdenken is meer dan kransen leggen. Nooit meer kan alleen als we altijd waakzaam zijn en rebelleren wanneer fascisme de kop opsteekt.
Want de wereldwijde opmars van extreemrechts is angstaanjagend. De VS ontvoert dagelijks mensen vanwege hun uiterlijk. ICE executeert tegendemonstranten op klaarlichte dag op straat. In Europa schieten fascistische leiders als paddenstoelen uit de grond. De genocide op Palestijnen gaat ondanks wereldwijde protesten ongehinderd door.
Ook in Nederland gaat het mis. Extreemrechts groeit als kool. Verworven vrijheden en sociale voorzieningen verdwijnen. Wekelijks staan knokploegen met prinsenvlaggen voor AZCs. De Tweede Kamer stemde voor een FvD-motie om antifascime als terrorisme te klasseren.
Fascisten verkondigen openlijk de antisemitische omvolkingsmythe: het complot dat een Joodse elite de Europese bevolking en cultuur vervangt door niet-witte mensen. De PVV, FvD en andere extreemrechtse partijen willen deze nepcrisis oplossen met gesloten grenzen en 'remigratie’, een term recht uit de breinen achter de Holocaust.
Allemaal koren op de molen van georganiseerde (neo-)nazi’s, die steeds vaker openlijk op straat hun haat uiten.
De lessen van de Februaristaking – voor elkaar opkomen en verzetten tegen haat en onderdrukking – zijn sinds de nazi-bezetting nooit relevanter geweest. De Holocaust kon plaatsvinden omdat de meerderheid zweeg.
Het moment om je uit te spreken is NU.
Daarom organiseert Mokum Tegen Fascisme op 25 februari, ná de officiële herdenking op het Jonas Daniel Meijerplein, een protestwandeling. Met verhalen, gedichten en muziek vertalen we de lessen van toen naar vandaag, zodat de vlam van verzet tegen extreemrechts opnieuw ontbrandt.
Verzamelen: vanaf 18.00 uur, Meester Visserplein. Wij serveren soep! Na een tocht door het centrum eindigen we weer op het Meester Visserplein.
-----
On February 25, 1941, Amsterdammers rose up en masse against the Nazi terror against their Jewish fellow citizens. Tens of thousands of workers stopped work and paralyzed Amsterdam for two days: the annually commemorated February Strike. But commemoration is more than just laying wreaths. Never again is possible only if we are always vigilant and rebel when fascism rears its ugly head.
Because the global rise of the far right is terrifying. The US kidnaps people daily because of their appearance. ICE executes counter-protesters in broad daylight on the streets. In Europe, fascist leaders are springing up like mushrooms. The genocide of Palestinians continues unhindered despite worldwide protests.
Things are also going wrong in the Netherlands. The far right is growing rapidly. Acquired freedoms and social services are disappearing. Every week, gangs with Prince's flags stand in front of asylum centers. The House of Representatives voted in favor of a motion by the FvD party to classify anti-fascism as terrorism.
Fascists openly proclaim the antisemitic "repopulation myth": the conspiracy that a Jewish elite is replacing the European population and culture with non-white people. The PVV (Party for Freedom), FvD (Foundation for the Democracy), and other far-right parties want to solve this fake crisis with closed borders and "remigration," a term coined by the minds behind the Holocaust. All of this is grist to the mill of organized (neo-)Nazis, who are increasingly openly expressing their hatred in the streets.
The lessons of the February Strike—standing up for each other and resisting hatred and oppression—have never been more relevant since the Nazi occupation. The Holocaust was possible because the majority remained silent.
The time to speak out is NOW.
That's why Mokum Tegen Fascisme is organizing a protest walk on February 25th, after the official commemoration at Jonas Daniel Meijerplein. With stories, poems, and music, we will translate the lessons of the past to today, so that the flame of resistance against the far right can be rekindled.
Gathering: from 6:00 PM at Meester Visserplein. We'll be serving soup! After a stroll through the city center, we'll finish back at Meester Visserplein.

Turbo’s Tribunal – Mills of Tribunal Review By Grin ReaperMelodic heavy metal outfit Turbo’s Tribunal heralds the arrival of Mills of Tribunal, hoping to light a fire that warms the dark recesses of our cynical hearts.1 Hailing from Denmark, Turbo’s Tribunal is the invention of mastermind and sole contributor Andreas Thunbo. Having toiled on demos, EPs, and splits over the last couple of decades, Mills of Tribunal presents Thunbo’s first full-length endeavor. Citing legendary acts like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Running Wild as creative touchstones, can Turbo’s Tribunal live up to the lofty expectations, or does Mills of Tribunal need further refinement under the grinding wheel?
Though the promo material for Turbo’s Tribunal lists a handful of inspirations, the one I hear most immediately is Iron Maiden. And while I’d like to say that you can’t go wrong using such an exalted act as a template, the truth is some bands define a sound so well that treading too closely creates an unattainable promise for listeners. Thankfully, Turbo’s Tribunal admirably balances inspiration and originality, evoking muses without aping them. Specifically, Mills of Tribunal most reminds me of Piece of Mind, though later 80s Maiden seeps in via sustained synth twinkles (“Draw the Line” and “Satan Is Here”). Priestliness also rears its head, particularly on the intro to “Men of the World,” and Running Wild’s guitar and bass interplay runs rampant throughout.
Mills of Tribunal by Turbo’s Tribunal
For a record where Thunbo provides all the instrumentation, Mills of Tribunal occupies a remarkably three-dimensional soundscape. The bell of the ball is Turbo’s Tribunal’s bouncing bass, fluttering and chugging on every track with delightful, Steve Harris-inspired melodicism.2 Spotlighted by a spacious mix, I can’t resist the enchantments of Mills of Tribunal’s well-crafted grooves and countermelodies (“Deliberation” and “Summon the Tribunal”). Nearly as alluring as the basswork, guitars dance and swirl, establishing a fleet lead here (“Draw the Line”) and a supporting power chord there (“Men of the World”). Meanwhile, synths enrich the atmosphere of many tracks, supplying subtle retro pangs reminiscent of Somewhere in Time or Rush’s Grace Under Pressure. Through it all, Thunbo’s higher register cleans pierce with melodic clarity, occasionally summoning the specter of a subdued King Diamond. And while I think that Turbo’s Tribunal vocals are good, examining them closely highlights larger opportunities across Mills of Tribunal.
The individual tracks on Mills of Tribunal furnish a polished debut, although in totality, Turbo’s Tribunal suffers from the tangle of a safety net. Too many mid-paced songs, repetitive vocals, and too narrow a scope of sounds limit what Mills of Tribunal could be. Make no mistake, what’s on tap here is unequivocally good, but it’s like the aural counterpart to a sepia photograph—limited dynamism paints the album in a uniformity that artificially imposes limits on what Mills achieves. While Thunbo does a fine job on the mic, there’s too little variation. Adding some gritty phrasing or a guest vocalist would help satisfy the need for the sonic diversity required to drive anticipation and tension. Besides the drums, which are inoffensive and unremarkable, the instrumentation delivers beefy trad character, though I wish Turbo’s Tribunal experimented more with the guitar tone; like the vocals, a lack of range imposes a ceiling. While many things are done well on Mills of Tribunal, there’s ample potential for a greater outing, and if addressed, closing these gaps will help push future platters into fatally fun territory.
Despite some missed opportunities on risk-taking, Turbo’s Tribunal offers an entertaining debut that’s sure to garner fans. Audible basscraft that draws Steve Harris comparisons should get people’s attention, as should a rich DR and a restrained forty-minute runtime. Mills of Tribunal marks a success that most new bands would be proud of,3 and Thunbo deserves praise for such a tight and well-composed dish. If Turbo’s Tribunal can maintain the engaging songwriting while amplifying the tolerance for danger and risks, the next album might just burn the place down in a heavy metal inferno.

The individual tracks on Mills of Tribunal furnish a polished debut, although in totality, Turbo’s Tribunal suffers from the tangle of a safety net. Too many mid-paced songs, repetitive vocals, and too narrow a scope of sounds limit what Mills of Tribunal could be. Make no mistake, what’s on tap here is unequivocally good, but it’s like the aural counterpart to a sepia photograph—limited dynamism paints the album in a uniformity that artificially imposes limits on what Mills achieves. While Thunbo does a fine job on the mic, there’s too little variation. Adding some gritty phrasing or a guest vocalist would help satisfy the need for the sonic diversity required to drive anticipation and tension. Besides the drums, which are inoffensive and unremarkable, the instrumentation delivers beefy trad character, though I wish Turbo’s Tribunal experimented more with the guitar tone; like the vocals, a lack of range imposes a ceiling. While many things are done well on Mills of Tribunal, there’s ample potential for a greater outing, and if addressed, closing these gaps will help push future platters into fatally fun territory.
Despite some missed opportunities on risk-taking, Turbo’s Tribunal offers an entertaining debut that’s sure to garner fans. Audible basscraft that draws Steve Harris comparisons should get people’s attention, as should a rich DR and a restrained forty-minute runtime. Mills of Tribunal marks a success that most new bands would be proud of,3 and Thunbo deserves praise for such a tight and well-composed dish. If Turbo’s Tribunal can maintain the engaging songwriting while amplifying the tolerance for danger and risks, the next album might just burn the place down in a heavy metal inferno.

Turbo’s Tribunal – Mills of Tribunal Review By Grin ReaperMelodic heavy metal outfit Turbo’s Tribunal heralds the arrival of Mills of Tribunal, hoping to light a fire that warms the dark recesses of our cynical hearts.1 Hailing from Denmark, Turbo’s Tribunal is the invention of mastermind and sole contributor Andreas Thunbo. Having toiled on demos, EPs, and splits over the last couple of decades, Mills of Tribunal presents Thunbo’s first full-length endeavor. Citing legendary acts like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Running Wild as creative touchstones, can Turbo’s Tribunal live up to the lofty expectations, or does Mills of Tribunal need further refinement under the grinding wheel?
Though the promo material for Turbo’s Tribunal lists a handful of inspirations, the one I hear most immediately is Iron Maiden. And while I’d like to say that you can’t go wrong using such an exalted act as a template, the truth is some bands define a sound so well that treading too closely creates an unattainable promise for listeners. Thankfully, Turbo’s Tribunal admirably balances inspiration and originality, evoking muses without aping them. Specifically, Mills of Tribunal most reminds me of Piece of Mind, though later 80s Maiden seeps in via sustained synth twinkles (“Draw the Line” and “Satan Is Here”). Priestliness also rears its head, particularly on the intro to “Men of the World,” and Running Wild’s guitar and bass interplay runs rampant throughout.
Mills of Tribunal by Turbo’s Tribunal
For a record where Thunbo provides all the instrumentation, Mills of Tribunal occupies a remarkably three-dimensional soundscape. The bell of the ball is Turbo’s Tribunal’s bouncing bass, fluttering and chugging on every track with delightful, Steve Harris-inspired melodicism.2 Spotlighted by a spacious mix, I can’t resist the enchantments of Mills of Tribunal’s well-crafted grooves and countermelodies (“Deliberation” and “Summon the Tribunal”). Nearly as alluring as the basswork, guitars dance and swirl, establishing a fleet lead here (“Draw the Line”) and a supporting power chord there (“Men of the World”). Meanwhile, synths enrich the atmosphere of many tracks, supplying subtle retro pangs reminiscent of Somewhere in Time or Rush’s Grace Under Pressure. Through it all, Thunbo’s higher register cleans pierce with melodic clarity, occasionally summoning the specter of a subdued King Diamond.

"Flock, the automatic license plate reader and AI-powered camera company, uses overseas workers from Upwork to train its machine learning algorithms, with training material telling workers how to review and categorize footage including images people and vehicles in the United States, according to material reviewed by 404 Media that was accidentally exposed by the company.
The findings bring up questions about who exactly has access to footage collected by Flock surveillance cameras and where people reviewing the footage may be based. Flock has become a pervasive technology in the US, with its cameras present in thousands of communities that cops use every day to investigate things like carjackings. Local police have also performed numerous lookups for ICE in the system.
Companies that use AI or machine learning regularly turn to overseas workers to train their algorithms, often because the labor is cheaper than hiring domestically. But the nature of Flock’s business—creating a surveillance system that constantly monitors US residents’ movements—means that footage might be more sensitive than other AI training jobs."
