Start with an ugly and stupid idea. Plant it in a culture that rewards extremist views. Watch Answers in Genesis race towards new lows in dogmatic hatred.

And it's wild to think about all the memos, committee meetings, request for quotes etc. that were required to do something like add interrupts to your computer so that maybe you could more easily share the resource between people.

• Operating a mastodon instance is great. It's all the reliability and ease of maintenance of a rails application, combined with the user experience of hosting a mail server, and the developer workflow of day drinking on the Linux kernel mailing list. (remote)

Look, I don't think having FB on your résumé is a fatal sign – I mean, you left, so you've got that going for you – but it's peak-booker to fail to realise that it's at least a bit of a black mark rather than a basis for lecturing others.

• Four Green Jays in a tree with their head feathers of blue standing up like a mohawk. Their backs are green, and chest and belly are yellow. Their blue heads have black around the eyes plus down the side of the face like sideburns on down to what looks like a black beard. Very bright, bold and colorful birds.

Tired of people that respond to certain (alarming) things happening with something like, "This is really no different than [something that operates at a harmless or simply human scale]."

Quantitative differences can become qualitative differences. You can breathe in air that is humid, you can't breathe underwater. A small amount of a poison may not kill you, but enough of it will. Humans doing a thing may be fine (or tolerable), but unleashing machines to do it at vastly larger scales?
