Similarly, if you are attributing motivation to an institution but can't reason with how the individuals involved act, you might have an oversimplified mental model of that institution

As a rule: if you think there are hidden messages or symbols in the crossword puzzle but you can't articulate the mechanism or purpose for their inclusion, it means your pattern-matching is calibrated too sensitively

• The plot shows the time series of the new accounts in mastodon per day. Before the purchase of Twitter by Musk the daily new accounts in Mastodon were around 4k per day. After the purchase and after every ban/suspension/layoff in Twitter we see an spike in the number of new accounts. Right now it seems that the number of new accounts per day is around 50k. We also see some (smaller) spikers in the number of daily new accounts after the Journalist's account suspension on Dec 15th and the Banning of other social media links on Dec 18th. But those are much smaller than the spike after Musk's Twitter 2.0 ultimatum on Nov 17th. (remote)

• Art of two women of Vietnamese descent kissing: one of them is wearing a mint blue ao dai and has a tight topknot, the other one is wearing dark burgundy, and her topknot is loose with flowing dark hair. They are against a background of stars. It all oozes lesbian tension. (remote)
• Cover of the Red Scholar's Wake by Aliette de Bodard: two women of Vietnamese descent standing shoulder to shoulder on a background of space with a fractured planet. One has armour and flowing long hair, the other one has a mint blue ao dai and has a tight topknot. They exude big battle couple energy, sapphic style. (remote)
• Cover of the Red Scholar's Wake by Aliette de Bodard: Two women of Vietnamese descent holding hands on a background of stars, with a fleet of spaceships going towards them. The quote reads "So romantic I may simply perish" by Tasha Suri. The prevailing colours are blue and pink. (remote)
