This is who Ed Mullins is. The guy who doxed the Mayor’s daughter for attending a George Floyd Protest—all while ripping off his fellow cops’ union dues. What a guy.

@Turntwo363 @BlackAzizAnansi When I was at Office Max a woman said to her kid, RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, “This is why you go to college, so you don’t have to work at a cash register.”
I told her, “I have a bachelor’s degree.” And she shut her damn mouth.
The #MilkyWay over an #abandoned #TrainStation just outside the #GhostTown of #Kolmanskop in #Namibia #Africa was #amazing. The town used to be a #diamond mining town. Once the #diamonds ran dry the town was left to the #desert . #LandscapePhotography #Nature #NaturePhotography #Photography #travel #Wanderlust #PhotoOfTheDay #TravelPhotography #NightPhotography #NamibDesert #MilkyWay #LongExposure #foto #stars #night #spooky

Wow! This is BIG - the Apple Lisa source code has finally been released!
This was something that was asked during the VCF Midwest panel for the Lisa Documentary.
It's so very cool that the Computer History Museum was able to get permission from Apple to release the source code... and on the Lisa's 40th birthday 🎉

Please don’t confuse what is legal with what is right. There is some overlap, of course, but not as much as one might think. Laws are generally written by the rich and powerful to protect their interests, often at the expense of the poor and weak. Many atrocities are lawful, and many acts of mercy are unlawful. I say this as an attorney.
A consciousness somehow associated with matter.
