I'd hope Mastodon is a good place to get in touch with reliable people – I will sublease my furnished 4-room apartment in #berlin for up to 12 months without any surcharge. Close to FU, TU, public transport, park (...) Send DM. #science

Heads-up for published authors: The deadline to join the Anthropic class-action copyright settlement is March 30. If you have published a book, you may be eligible to receive ~$1,500 per book, so it’s worth your time to check it out. I had been putting it off and finally completed my forms […]

stories like this will mention the AI "doomer narrative" (SkyNet will kill us all, often pushed by industry insiders), but not mention it pre-empts more realistic criticism (Grok's data center in Memphis is aiming its pollution directly at black people) the industry doesn't want to talk about

«Artificial intelligence is an extractive technology that relies on the brutal labor of underpaid workers around the world. For years, the work of African data labelers has been more or less “ghost work,” the unseen, hidden labor that lets American tech companies build their products. “AI can […]

This #solarpunksunday check out my new novella, which is on pre-order and due out on 1st July. It's my vision of the future, where I fantasize about a world without central governments, politicians, or capitalism, and it centers on an old woman who has to organize the defense of her #solarpunk […]

I have argued this point in the past, as I'm sure many others, but it's nice to have a term for this concept: hobbyless behavior. https://www.tumblr.com/abbiistabbii/810110535568949248/the-germans-really-cooked-making-hobbyless #hobbyless #hobbylos #hobbylessbehavior #hobbylosesverhalten

I found this shadowbox on the curb in my neighborhood just now. Well, I’m not sure what its purpose was, but I’d like to use it to make a display case for the fossils, pottery shards and sharks teeth I’ve collected. Nothing of great value except that they […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

@ObsidianUrbex I always say to my cat... Remember: You are ROUND enough. You are SLEEPY enough.

@ObsidianUrbex In cat advertising they photoshop in seal bodies with cat heads... unrealistic relaxing standards that put so much pressure on the minds of young kittens to be so perfectly round and sleepy.

Also when schools gut their arts programs, when they get rid of things like shop class and PE it's really harmful. It's harmful even if all you care about is students learning "the basics" eg. how to read and write, how to understand numbers and a smattering of history. Young people can't […]

When I only work with students in a context where I'm giving a grade, and that grade is "high stakes" because colleges care about math grades the students are less likely to bring their full creative potential to the subject of math. Grad grubbing happens. But when they know me from working on […]

There is this cynical and currently popular idea that everything is "virtue signaling" and to some extent it's true. Part of why people do what is right even when it won't benefit them is about making a statement to themselves and others about what we value. But, it's also ... not that hard […]

Nothing irritates a bully more than when someone else demonstrates the courage or honor that they lack. They will have an immediate need to prove that any such acts were either a sign that the person was duped, or that the sacrifice was motivated by a desire for public acclaim, not any […]

Bullies are often fundamentally cowardly: if their home, or their country is under attack they rank saving their own life and possessions first and above the group. A bully will expect any group they target to crumble in a similar manner. The idea that their threats and attacks might cause […]

The word "gubernatorial" as in "gubernatorial election" (election of a governor) cracks me up. Because I always hear it as "goobernatorial" as in the governor is a goober.

This isn't my *best* photo of the day, but I think it's the funniest. Male grackles like to puff up to nearly twice their normal size before giving a certain kind of call, and here I managed to catch one just as he started deflating. 😂 #pittsbirds #backyardbirding #birds #birdsofmastodon
