The Groyper Wars

Time to tap the lossy jpg of a vintage Tumblr post again. Do not punish the behaviour you want to see. If people have just come here from Bluesky. Or finally got around to closing their Airbnb account. Or leaving Meta or whatever. Don't immediately jump on them […] [Original post on social.coop]

Please. "Toxic masculinity" is only harmful to those who absorb it. You're thinking of *venomous* masculinity, which hurts others.

With a simple extension, I've made the news interesting again #ai #softwaredevelopment

the recent burst of companies flagrantly disregarding robots.txt are eating their seed corn — the entire point is that as long as everyone shows some basic manners to other internet hosts, there’s no need for some international regulatory body to get involved and make everyday matters difficult […]

Posting about this again - I'm running a 5k this Sunday to help raise money for UNRWA counselors for children in Gaza. In Gaza, children are living through conditions no child should ever experience. Witnessing things no human should ever see. Without mental health care, those images don't […]

I think the 2020s is the Death of the Scientific Model. We've had 3 things happen, and all 3 of them were fatal. 1: We had clear, solid, well-developed Scientific models of how SARS2 worked, and they were completely unimplemented. Even by the Scientists themselves. 2: Our Devil's Pact with […]

Hey ham radio operators, don't want a satellite company taking over your radio bands? Write a letter to the FCC saying so here: https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings/express?proceeding[name]=25-201 The FCC has totally fucked up their filing system, which was none too friendly before, and it's even […]

Been meaning to subscribe to @404mediaco for a few years now, and their article yesterday on how AI is eating media got me to sign up for an annual subscription. https://www.404media.co/the-medias-pivot-to-ai-is-not-real-and-not-going-to-work/

There is something here--I can't quite put my finger on it--that reminds me of the way in which large companies have mandated the use of (e.g.) blockchain or LLMs. That the central policymakers are driven by an abstract vision of a productive, mechanized future, and that those policymakers are […]

"Like a religious faith, this visual codification was almost impervious to criticism or disconfirming evidence. The belief in large farms, monocropping, 'proper' villages, tractor-plowed fields, and collective or communal farming was an aesthetic conviction undergirded by a conviction that this […]

Time once again to post Get Your War On #1. From 2001. Time is a flat circle.

I found this magazine at a little free library that as far as i can tell is entirely ads for individual dogs and every single page is like this, I’m hyperventilating

from the slides for my lightning talk today

I am begging solarpunk artists to do some back-of-the-envelope math regarding solar irradiance and the heating/cooling/transport/industrial energy requirements of their hypothetical structures before drawing one more lush cityscape filled with greenery instead of 500 square kilometers of solar […]

We're having a "back to office mandate" push at the moment, so the office was nearly at capacity yesterday. Here's the CO2 readings from my #Aranet4. The two distinct spikes at the start/end of the day are the packed peak-time commuter train journeys […] [Original post on mastodon.philtanner.com]

I am in favor of this life tip.

I think the MOVE bombing isn't as well remembered as it should be partly because it's so over-the-top crazy that people brush it off as something where "there must be more to it than that". But no. The police department literally used a helicopter to drop an incendiary bomb on a row house in […]

Amazing job opportunity for a Chief Communications Officer at the The Union of Concerned Scientists, one of the most crucial organizations for this time, who support the public and scientists to work hand in hand to put science into action […]

I'm way too familiar with Brandolini's Law 😩
