Edvard Munch, The Sun, 1911.

Measuring 15 by 25 ft, this is one of several Munch paintings to adorn the walls inside the Hall of Ceremonies at the University of Oslo.

Here’s thought…
We know the dark web exists, in parallel with the rest of the Internet, and we know the mainstream Internet is becoming increasingly enshittified by tech bros’ greed and AI. Would it be possible to create a ‘light web’ that excludes the bad stuff? What would it look like?

#Trans women sharing our lavatories is not an issue. Cisgender men who abuse their power are the real threat.

@ai6yr I saw stretch thread in my local fabric store, which I didn't know was a thing. I'm not sure if this would work with straight stitches, but might be worth trying

@sundogplanets

That's a really nice article!

Incidentally, this morning I came across a writeup about the state of SpaceX in general. I used to grudgingly accept that they at least seem to know their rocketry.

Not so much it turns out.

The Summer Body / Il Corpo Estivo for #caturday ☀️

This is Maia, she is a neighbour. As you can see, Maia is long-haired which means a big floof shed before the hot weather. Now, she's a little bit of a rascal and doesn't like to be brushed when she's shedding her Winter coat - so instead she gives herself the zoomies through the bushes in the garden and uses their branches as brushes. 😂 I will say she looks hilarious when she runs because the fur trapped on her sides spreads out like wings. Like a little furry airplane. (In a few days she'll have shed almost everything and will allow her family to brush her again) 😂✈️✨

The photo is of a long-haired cat with a thick, fluffy coat. She is grey, cream, and light brown. She is sitting on a patch of grass and dirt, in her garden with sunlight highlighting her fur. The background includes green foliage and trees and some shadows. She appears to be looking just off camera with a calm but slightly annoyed expression

I was watching a video by OceanLiner Designs which got into the impact of #Marconi's research/invention on the shipping industry and of course had to dig in to see if there were any 'Marconi Girls' i.e. geeky young women who took up the early tech and played around with it, in parallel with the infamous 'Marconi Boys'

And of course there were - https://earlyradiohistory.us/1916fem.htm

@Uselessgeneration @alexisbushnell Places I have been molested by cis men hiding in loos pretending to be trans women : 0.

Places I have been molested by cis men often in broad daylight and/or in public and in any case with zero consequences: The street, public transport, pubs, hobbyish-clubs, event queues, my own home.

This petition has it spot on. None of the cruelty aimed at trans women will protect anyone from predatory cis men.

@leiawelsh @Uselessgeneration @alexisbushnell yes. And you left your workplace off the list.

My question for the "Golden Dome" system is the same as my question for all other defense contracting proposals: "is this more cost-effective than firing shrink-wrapped pallets of $100 bills at the target"

I'm not the only one to note that Nigel Farage gets a lot more coverage for his speculative policy proposals (when announced) than the Greens ever do.

You don't need to be a conspiracy theorist to see a disparity in coverage & wonder why our media organisations are so willing to give the Right a platform, while only reporting the Green party's activities occasionally & spasmodically?

†he lurch to the Right isn't an accident of politics, it looks like its orchestrated by the media..

It’s not necessarily a design issue. It could be quality control, materials, workmanship, processes or a bunch of other things that happen between design and launch.

I think the most likely answer is corner cutting, pushing components past their functional capabilities and tolerances, and poor quality build processes that are cheap but dangerous.
