"A team of scientists led by Rutgers researchers has uncovered evidence that modern sea level rise is happening faster than at any time in the past 4,000 years, with China's coastal cities especially at risk." https://phys.org/news/2025-10-seas-cities-coastal-crisis-china.html #sealevelrise

I tried to find the video of Vivian Wilson talking about trans health care saving her life on a non-corporate platform, but couldn’t. I boosted a link to Bluesky already; here's the same video on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/DO11Au_ErkG/

most people that i hear liking “the goonies” are men. i wonder if it is liked the same by others that are not men. (and i remember it well to have some sort of hunch)

it’s not “vibe coding”, it’s “tech debt by proxy”.

“The descent is easy; but to return, and to reascend into the upper air, this is the task, this the toil.” — “Paradise Lost” by John Milton “Easy is the descent to Avernus; night and day the door of dark Death stands open wide.

bullshit. only thing you need is to do what mastodon did: ditch the algorithm and let the people decide what and when to share. not that any company would want to do that to their product. https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica/115021945100161721

holy shit this is a helluva ad from the Democrat running against Joni Ernst in Iowa. worth every second

the best thing about—most—humour that sparks laughter is that it requires making people think in a creative way, whether they want it or not, since most humour is bringing together disconnected things with a lingering,—usually nonsensical—connection that has to be discovered.

The best way to ‘let your content be the focus’ is to have a clear delineation between UI and content. This is backed by evidence and research. Research that I, and many others have been doing since the 70s.

it’s so difficult to find someone that truly wants to learn. many of whom one find around are people only trying to confirm what they already (think they) know, believing someone coming with a different opinion must be trying to pick a fight, not opening an alternative perspective. content in […]

if you really care about your words, don’t post them to the public sphere. they can be distorted and mocked. if you instead care about your thoughts and ideas, by all means post them to the public sphere. they can be distorted and mocked. they can also help others find their way.
