Good morning and Shana Tovah 🌱🍎🌹

Good morning 🌱🎃☀️

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

Teachings about parsha Ki Tavo I learned. This is a parsha where Moses tells the people good things will happen out you follow the law and bad things, so many very bad things will happen if you don’t follow the law. www.sefaria.org/Deuteronomy....

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

there is already a way to extend life and youth indefinitely 1. Be a stored-grain dermestid beetle larva (say, Trogoderma) 2. Every time food gets scarce, moult backwards into a previous instar 3. Proceed to grow as usual 4. Repeat step 2

Some I learned about Parashat Ki Teitzei, which includes Devarim 22:5, which is used by fundamentalist Christians as a prohibition against cross dressing. The rabbis of the Talmud, Rashi and the Ramban all agree this is in context of idolatry or deceiving people, others it is totally permitted.

Went to Kennywood for Phantom Fall fest for first time last night. Excellent spooky vibes for nighttime rides. 🎃🎢🌲

Good morning and welcome to spooky season 🌱🎃💀

This is the shit they’re defunding. Scientists can make your teeth see so you can get back to balling and they want to take that away from you forever

What a great question. Bluesky Is more than an X clone. Under the hood, each part of the app can and is ran by different companies. The app you download, the server hosting your data, each feed you scroll, and your chosen moderator can all be ran by unrelated parties.

The thing that connects them is a protocol. In this case it’s called the Authenticated Transfer Protocol (or atproto) atproto works like traffic laws. As long as you follow the rules of the road, you can drive a car (run a service) Folks like Blacksky (and Bluesky of course) built connecting roads

Lessons I learned about parsha Shoftim. There is a lot to take from Devarim 16:20 but I like reading it as “fix injustice, then don’t be settled, uncover more injustice.”

"Who knew the Torment Nexus would be so unpleasant?"

Since we’re all sharing starter packs again, here’s mine! It’s not focused, just a bucket of folks who post real well

Why the Left Should Not Care About Population Decline By Leslie Root 1. It's a fake problem based on long-run population projections that assume things will remain as they currently are 2. And things not remaining as they currently are is kind of our whole fucking deal

And the idea that the world is separated into "belief" and "non-belief"? Yeahhhh that's the least Jewish idea in the world, by the way. Judaism is the religion of the Jewish people. But Jews can, are, long have been atheists, agnostics, that's a thing. What matters to us is what you DO.

Great explanation of what “decentralized” means in AtProto vs Mastodon, how they approach it differently and why trying to compare them directly on “which is more decentralized” does not make sense.
