My favorite character in Stephen King's THE STAND is Glenn Bateman and the moment where he demonstrates how to deal with blustering bullies who rely on others to do the real dirty work is a handy life lesson.

I wrote about the leveling and deranging effects of the Trumpist snitchscape, and the awful content creation imperatives governing this awful moment. defector.com/the-united-s...

This isn’t just! It’s unconstitutional! It’s hypocritical! It’s immoral! It’s illegal! It’s wrong! It’s unprecedented! They don’t care about any of those things. They laugh at handwringing. It’s about acquiring & wielding power. You can’t shame them, you have to defeat them.

an entire generation and everyone coming up after them have essentially been making pirate tv stations for each other on repurposed video game streaming websites for like about a decade now. if we had the money that demonic old baby boomers have poured into nasty jesus creeps you would be astonished

🚨 NEW: Climate change is already causing 30,000 deaths per year - a global annual economic loss of $100-350B USD - but the true damage is probably 10x higher. Out TODAY in Nature Climate Change: the first systematic look at the science of "health impact attribution" 🔓 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

one of the most important technological revolutions in modern history and you're likely not hearing anything about it because it's making the oligarchs who control our information environment poorer instead of richer

We're about to experience the first modern recession caused substantially, and perhaps primarily, by racism.

It will never not be amazing to me that journalists and other people in positions of public influence willingly stay on a site that is being openly manipulated on every level by one of the worst human beings on Earth.

Tapping the sign

The lack of mainstream coverage of regular huge protests reminds me of a talk from a Twitter employees who explained that they had to drop BLM off the Trending Tags section because otherwise it would have been there permanently. The modern media environment has no appetite for sustained movements.

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

if i had the opportunity to ask a question of anyone in the administration, given this "war in chicago" messaging, i would ask them how many americans the president intends to kill in his war

Every once in a while I tell people from other countries about how the health insurance system works in the US and they are aghast. Yesterday a guy straight up didn’t believe me when I said people can die because of not being able to afford medicine. He was sure I meant in the distant past.

FINALLY! 🥳 A Baltic Sea Tracking Network is on the way!! Thanks in part to a receiver loan from @oceantracking.bsky.social members of ETN based at SLU & LUKE (Finland) have deployed what we hope is just the beginning 💪 You can find out more about the project here: tinyurl.com/yc5nhxr5

40% of Republicans think the COVID vaccine killed more people than the COVID virus. One in four believe that QAnon is real. No matter how far they radicalize, we are told over and over again that the people being rude to them are the problem.

Good news about the cutting-edge AI tools from the $3-trillion-dollar company.

The brown stain on a white tablecloth left by the removed vendor is what really sells it. That is art.

"The strength of WHOI's science is in its people." It was true in the time of our first director, Henry Bigelow—and it's true today. We wouldn't be leaders in ocean science + engineering without our dedicated + talented staff. 👉🏽This Labor Day, get to know the #HumansofWHOI: go.whoi.edu/humans

This month’s blog dives into underwater cables in the German North Sea. Using EMODnet data and R, I mapped telecom & power cables, exploring, cleaning, and visualizing the data to reveal these hidden seafloor infrastructures. #Rstats #GeospatialAnalysis #DataVisualization #cables #Rmaps

my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy

AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

I think the big divide on hotels is if you’ve ever traveled for work because lemme tell you - getting off work and having to go sit in the hotel or go to a bar until it’s time for bed suuuuuucks

fundamentally the problem is that if you think "hotels are where I stay on holiday and I like being on holiday so living in a hotel must be fun and it's not fair others get to do it and not me" then you have the intellectual reasoning of a little child and it's going to be hard to engage with you

A reminder, based on a conversation I just had at FL340

We all need to remember the positive effect our visibility has on others. We have integrity, we are amazing and we all rock!

You know who did a great job of extolling the virtues of city living? Anthony Bourdain. And it's no accident that his first episode of No Reservations told Americans to go to Paris at the height of the Iraq War. That's a cultural hole that hasn't been filled.

There are so many ways to bring down the Evil Empire & Trump is employing all of them. Hopefully, Canada Border Services has been instructed to reject uninspected food products - particularly meat & dairy. Who needs tariffs? www.cbsnews.com/news/fda-foo...

Halifax wildfire driven by heat made 2 to 5 times more likely by climate change, scientists’ group says reported by @dentremy.bsky.social

I happened to notice that the Alberta govt quietly changed its expense report disclosure policy on Aug. 1, hours before a long weekend. The changes were significant — receipts no longer had to be publicly disclosed, and 8 years of expenses had been 'undisclosed.' www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

i mean this sincerely: he's just the fucking president. there's no logical construction of that job that empowers him to do even a few percentage points of the things his sticking his fat beak into

sometimes reading about it is the next best thing to being there, so with that in mind here are some of our favorite books that involve The Woods in one form or another for our fellow nova scotians
