Baffling that many US cities assign responsibility for sidewalks to the adjacent property owner. That’s just not how transportation infrastructure works at all. People walking places don’t teleport past vacant lots. Imagine doing the same thing with roads.

This is a shocking example of one of the big reasons why, right now, there is no way I’d use AI for any of my historical work. If you don’t look at the documents yourself, and if you don’t know how the AI you’re using was coded, you have no idea what it may be leaving out – or adding in.

19 May 1925 El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, aka Malcolm X, was born in Omaha, Nebraska. He became one of the most influential advocates of self-defence for Black people as well as one of the foremost critics of America's institutional racism

Recently, FamilySearch digitized and uploaded tons of microfilmed records, including many from 18th-century Massachsuetts. They're using some sort of AI to transcribe/summarize the handwritten documents. I've noticed that the AI strips out references to race and enslavement in 18thc documents.

Reminder that I also live in the community that relies on the Colorado River. Which is also frequently in the headlines about fear of scarcity of water. So I'm not being hyperbolic.

I think the phrase "rest is productive" can be incredibly helpful if you struggle to switch off work mode or thinking about it. But I also think it's sad when that's what it takes to actually rest. Rest is necessary. You shouldn't have to feel like you only deserve it in the name of productivity

Toby the African pygmy falcon (Polihierax semitorquatus) is taking a dust bath at the Cincinnati Zoo. Birds secrete oil from a uropygial gland ('preen gland') that is antimicrobial, conditions & adds waterproofing. A dust bath helps remove this oil so a fresh layer can be applied.

I got a job at one of the new data centers! My duties involve resting my arms on my neighbor's fence and telling them how quiet the data center is, and when they respond, I cup my hand to my ear and yell "what?" and then laugh affably. Our research suggests this will eventually improve their opinion

"Dickens/Melville/whoever was paid by the word!" STFU, lazy ass. First, they weren't. Look it up! Second, words are good. Long books are good. Third, you know who gets paid by the word? Short story writers.

Reminder that erotic/pornographic art has always been part of our human history. From phalluses and vulvas drawn on cave walls to mass printed comics, from stone carved to digitally crafted. Our ancestors, all over the world, have depicted sex scenes. You can't erase that.

Birth rate discourse is like “It turns out if you give women more choices, they’re less likely to make ones that make their lives harder.” Which is really helpful in figuring out how we can improve society somewhat. But instead people are like wow giving women more choices was a mistake
