People do what you pay them to do. You pay corporate executives to make stock prices go up, not to make better products. You pay politicians to get re-elected, not to govern well. You pay reporters to get a bigger audience, not to tell the truth. And so forth. Be aware of what you pay people to do

the hell....

"The men implicated in the Epstein files reinforces that I spend half my life explaining to men that their simplified, optimistic view of other men doesn’t line up with the experience of women and girls trying to dodge sexual harassment, assault and abuse attempts." - Leslie Morgan Steiner

mango news update: the cat that lives in the mirror is back

Art by /u/ Much_Tip_6968 on reddit.

Good morning, friends.

The world is a dark and dreary place these days, so here’s something to cheer you up: a miniature diorama by Japanese artist, Tanaka Tatsuya.

Thank you to @sillychaotic.bsky.social for my new eye banner! Commission them! They're great!

In light of recent revelations that Archive(dot)today is involving its users in a DDOS attack, and altering archives to further a personal grudge, I am ceasing use of the site. I also did three quick tests of alternatives for on-demand archiving, summarized below... arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

I have watched more & more friends turn to Substack in the past few months. PLEASE DON'T DO THIS! #Substack has well-documented problems with platforming literal Nazis, as well as writers spreading Covid misinformation, anti-vaccine propaganda, & transphobia. Long post here: bit.ly/substacksux

Shopify has been having technical issues w/ accepting shipping addresses all day. As of right now #Shopify has identified the issue but does not have a solution. There's a manual fix that can be applied by the owner of the Shopify store. I wish I could find an article about it. #news #shopping

@scalzi.com Do you know which of your books are available in large print and where to get them? I'm having trouble finding a list.

Call your house rep and tell them to support HB 2540 which will increase the amount disabled people can save from $2k to $10k and remove the marriage penalty where you lose your only source of income if you get married regardless of how little they make. Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

This snowdrop dragon would still like to join #Februaryfrost26 ❄️ #art #cuteart #dragon #snowdrop #night #digitalart #illustration

this hasn't personally happened to me, but i've seen other artists here talking about it intermittently. so here's an infographic about a handy feature i think a lot of people are overlooking! #artsky #artistsonbsky

A gift for @itsthebeanie.bsky.social, one of my incredible discord moderators! They requested something with critters and something spaced themed, so it naturally followed that I had to draw space raccoons ✨

HELLO I WAS A QUEER TEEN IN THE 1990s AND THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST SOCIAL TRANSITION NOW ARE INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST "LETTING" US BE (at the time, for me) GAY OR LESBIAN THEN. They all rest on the belief that it's inherently better to be straight (then)/cis (now) and that's BS.

If you see this, post something monochromatic

Happy Valentine's Day 💘

This is what a rigged economy looks like.

LLMs do not understand, will not understand, and cannot ever understand information. It's a glorified search engine combined with auto-compete, and you should treat it as such. No matter how much LLM companies try to tell you their machines can think or reason, they cannot and will not. 12/12

Valentines Sprout! Inspired by pink oyster mushrooms

hi. hey. hello. disabled people deserve the same rights as non-disabled people do. How they access those rights might look different than we expect. and that.... is access.

Happy Valentine

"Racist people are firing and laying off Black women at three times the rate of other women." 😬Yikes! It sounds bad when you say it like that! "Black women are losing jobs at 3 times the rate." Much better! Makes it sound like the Black women just need to be more careful or better at their jobs!

I'm legitimately proud of scientists and artists that made it, not coming from wealth, connections, and systemic inequality. So many of your colleagues are landlords, privately educated, with connections and resources most don't have. But you've made it, without pampering and making the world worse.

Ominous bird valentines.

"Why can't we have a calm discussion about AI?" Cuz the data centers are being built carelessly and at speed, polluting poor neighborhoods, cuz it's drinking my fucking aquifer, and cuz all my art and writing have been plagisrized while the worst assholes crow about my impending obsolescense...

Small talk is not useless. It is an informational handshake to see how each party encodes information. You are not wasting time, you are calibrating your data density and content for a mutually optimal interface. Rushing through to Deep Topics without calibration can result in poor CommSec.
