Alt text for headshot is a cropped image of the Bloom County comic characters Bill the Cat and Opus the Penguin, both attempting an incomplete expression of Bill the Cat’s signature pose/expression, (one eye closed, tongue extended, possibly making raspberries (?), while looking at the reader & breaking the 4th wall, etc.), which is an homage to @mauvehed 🤪

Svalbard, Norway, is the world’s most northern town. It’s not as cold as it used to be, which has climate scientists wondering “if we’ve been too cautious with our climate warnings." Read more from @404media:

People did not die solely because of forgetfulness but because amnesia allowed succeeding generations to erase the past and their responsibilities to the future. When they could have enacted post-flood, life-saving interventions, they chose not to act on their progeny’s behalf. texasobserver.org/san-antonio-

The mutant version of capitalism we have now -- overwhelmingly tilted toward financial looters and their cartels -- is destroying community after community. This is deliberate, not an unintended outcome. Local hospitals are just one notably egregious example.

As usual I’ve found that techdirt is doing more to call out the fash in tech than most

“They made healthcare a commodity, education a debt trap, and housing a speculation market — then told you that poverty is a personal failing.
They privatized survival and called it freedom."

A lot of people seems to feel
very on edge these days. More aggressive and more angry.

And you know what, I totally get it.
I feel this way too.

Everything is on fire and we feel powerless. It sucks.

But if we eat each other, there will be nobody left to fight the oppressors.

While we fight each other,
while we drain each other,
they win.

Do not let authoritarian oppressors win by shooting at your allies.

Even if they're not allies you agree with all the time, even if they're temporarily allies for an urgent cause, focus your energy on the real danger. Do not drain allies' supplies, even if they are imperfect allies. That's what your enemy wants you to do.

We must support each other in these difficult times, if we want to even have a tiny chance to create peace, acceptance, and inclusion for the future 💚

People are shocked to discover they need to fact-check ChatGPT and I'm having the uncomfortable realization that they never fact-checked their uncle's Facebook posts, their friend's medical advice, or literally anything Google's top result told them, and suddenly the last decade makes sense...

One of the things I miss so much about the Time Before Internet & Mobile Phones is how everyone's daily life was filled with space where you were unreachable, alone with yourself and the world you encountered. You had to be where you were, in each moment.

TOS scene. We're on 'da bridge. Bonsey and Kirky are standing along the console bank of buttons and switches and lights and are regarding something Spock is saying. Spock himself is sitting at his science station turned out to chat with his 2 best friends. It's all very ordinary and normal, no funny business. Closed caption reads, "THE OVERALL PATTERN OF MASS INSANITY DESTROYING CIVILIZATIONS"

HOMEWORK MACHINE

The Homework Machine, oh the Homework Machine
Most perfect contraption that's ever been seen. 
Just put in your homework, then drop in a dime,
Snap on the switch, and in ten seconds' time,
Your homework comes out, quick and clean as can be.
Here it is — "nine plus four?" and the answer is "three."
Three?
Oh me ...
I guess it's not as perfect
As I thought it would be.

@tomgauld.bsky.social captures my state of mind most mornings.... if only a raven could help.

#politics #economics

Cartoon: A man sits a desk, his head in his hands while a raven tries to catch his attention:

[caption]: The rave, seeing the general state of the world & realising that quothing 'nevermore' was only going to add to the gloom, tried to cheer things up with some bawdy limericks & an amusing anecdote about two badgers & a turnip'.

My 7yo just accidentally called neurotypicals “neurodifficults” and I will be using that word whenever I meet a wilfully ableist neurotypical from now on

Same woman revealed as a mom speaking to two kids, She replies, "No, we have neurotransmitters at home"

Last penal reveals the woman pointing to the neurotransmitters at home. Instead of serotonin and dopamine, they are adrenaline and cortisol (also shown in chemical formula form)
