My mom was a rabid, MyPillow-buying consumer of Fox News until a couple of years ago, when she moved in with my sister and her Fox access was cut off. Since the stemming of the indoctrination tide, she has miraculously returned to her pre-trump self and regular non-fascist pillows. Like the rest of us normal people, she even held her nose and voted for Biden. It is truly astonishing what that network did to her. I can only imagine what would’ve gone down if she’d gotten hooked on Christian nationalist TV instead. https://assortedflotsam.com/@politicsbot/111079909147438603

@shoq It's also funny that Jack Dorsey's deal on his shares in Musk's private Xitter is that Musk must buy the shares back at the original buyout price. No matter how much value Musk destroys, Dorsey doesn't lose a cent.

Ultranationalists are already concentrating on the effects of #ClimateChange.
They focus on migration, crime, and war -- all of which are consequences of climate change.
Their "solutions" aren't solar panels and tree planting. They want concentration camps, military-style policing, and offensive wars.
Even if you don't care about the human and natural misery caused by climate change, if you are #AntiFascist, you *must* push for immediate climate mitigation and adaptation now.

"The lone protester was seen wearing a neon yellow and orange safety vest, khaki cargo shorts, tan boots while walking down the road toward the Biden home on Sunday afternoon, according to a White House pool reporter. He appeared to have a holstered firearm... It was not clear if the man was asked to leave the area, but the pool report said a Secret Service vehicle followed the man down the road."

"Gail: Thirdhand, maybe. Hunter Biden broke the law when he filled out a false gun-purchase form, denying he had a drug use problem. That’s bad. He should be punished, but it certainly doesn’t have to be by doing time in the slammer.
Bret: Agree. It would probably be enough to sentence Hunter to watch 100 hours of Josh Hawley questioning Senate witnesses. But that might vanquish his hard-earned sobriety."

"the pace of depopulation will be too slow for our most pressing problems. It will not replace the need for urgent action on climate, land use, biodiversity, pollution and other environmental challenges. If the population hits around 10 billion people in the 2080s and then begins to decline, it might still exceed today’s eight billion after 2100. Population decline would come quickly, measured in generations, and yet arrive far too slowly to be more than a sideshow in the effort to save the planet. Work to decarbonize our economies and reform our land use and food systems must accelerate in this decade and the next, not start in the next century."

This is significantly at odds with the policies of some governments and agencies, and standards bodies, that allow standards -- even when given the force of public law -- to charge royalties for access and use. This has some relevant in our data standards world, but a more classic example is a Building Code, where (a) you are required to obey it, in order to build on your own land, but (b) the government won't let you see it or read it unless you pay a fee to the rules' proprietary source.

You do not need a specific causal explanation for every aspect of biological variation. Biology is not as deterministic as some people seem to think. There is no "gay gene", there is no one molecular machine that defines your self.

I evaluated 2 headless CMSs for a new project. Both had similar accessibility problems (unfocussable pseudo-buttons, toast announcements that weren't live regions, contrast, weird tab order). I offered to demo to company A, never heard back. Company B listened, and are repairing.
Guess which one we're building on and are getting the org's money?

Here's your reminder to download anything you might wanna find again on youtube.
Years ago Momus did a Bad Lip Reading-style take on the video for Orange Juice - Rip It Up called Robot Ape. The audio was a funny and surprisingly good original song but I just found out that it got copyright-stricken from youtube, presumably because it used footage from the Rip It Up video--which, IIRC, was done with the blessing of one of the Orange Juice guys.

That said: Common might be an ok actor, but he is not good enough to keep up with this cast. (Once you notice how he delivers every single line with the exact same slow nod, you can't unsee it.)

The difference between band government and good government is both measurable and manageable. Adopting narratives that government (writ large) is bad is an abdication, in democracies, to demand competent governance.
