One of my favorite things to see come across my screens each year: the US Fish and Wildlife Service has announced that Wisdom has returned to her mating grounds on Midway Atoll.
Wisdom is at least 71 years old, the oldest verified wild bird of any species. She has raised more than 30 chicks. She has flown the circumference of the Earth over 120 times. She is the closest the seabird world gets to a celebrity, and the only royalty I recognize. Long live the Queen.

Last night Nirav Patel joined @bcantrill and me to talk about @frameworkcomputer, his company that has reimagined the modern laptop as repairable, configurable, robust and awesome. I was excited and Nirav did not disappoint!
Beyond the quality of the product, Framework has built a high quality company with unparalleled transparency. Also we love our laptops!

Reading great writers always depresses me slightly. The effortlessness, the throw-away eloquence, the lightness of thought and observation.
My dyslexic, engineer brain will never be so sparkling, nevermind quick or clear. Like feeling yourself waddle to the fridge after watching olympic sprinters.

What a great teacher! (by u/MelanieWalmartinez)
Attachments:
- § redadhdventures Shout out to my Arabic teacher that looked at us yesterday mid-lesson and said, “I’m worried You all look exhausted and depressed.” Of we were all like, “Oh yeah we're dead inside, you haven't noticed?” And he snapped shut the textbook, threw up his hands and said, “That's not healthy! No more vocab! Time for dancing!” And he taught us a dance from Iraq and we danced instead of doing vocab. We didn’t stop dancing until he saw all of us laughing and was satisfied that we were all feeling better. It was perhaps the coolest, most kind-hearted thing I've ever seen a college instructor do.

The folks over at the Ursula K. Le Guin Foundation are awesome. They made a new website and as a result, some content was removed. I sent an email to see if they could restore Le Guin’s “A Rant About ‘Technology’” — and they did!
Go read it: https://www.ursulakleguin.com/a-rant-about-technology
Attachments:
- A Rant About “Technology” In an interesting and favorable notice of Changing Planes (which you can find elsewhere on the site, in Spanish and English), the Argentinean reviewer asserts that since Le Guin isn’t a hard science fiction writer, “technology is carefully avoided.” I stuck a footnote onto this in my translation of the article, and here is the footnote expanded — because this business is really getting my goat. ‘Hard’ SF is all about technology, and ‘soft’ SF doesn’t have any technology, right? And my books don’t have technology in them, because I am only interested in psychology and emotions and squashy stuff like that, right? Not right. (remote)

Extremely happy to announce that @kissane and I have been funded by @DigInfFund to run a project called Fediverse Governance Successes & Gaps!
We will look at the people, software, and processes of the Fediverse, and make strong recommendations for how open source projects, philanthropic funders, civil society organizations, and others can co-create a Fediverse that is safer and better for humanity than the social media we've been stuck with for decades.

Jewish American Families Confront a Generational Divide Over Israel-Hamas War
Gen Z and young Millennials often see Israel as an occupying power oppressing Palestinians — a shock to their parents and grandparents, who tend to see it as an essential haven fighting for survival.

We found that the PLC code actually contained logic that would lock up the train with bogus error codes after some date, or if the train wasn't running for a given time. One version of the controller actually contained GPS coordinates to contain the behaviour to third party workshops.
It was also possible to unlock the trains by pressing a key combination in the cabin controls. None of this was documented.
