I just remembered that I ordered a bag of actual coal to use as runners-up prizes in the costume contest in our Nightmare Before Christmas sing-along and it never arrived. It seems it was delivered and stolen. (Mail theft is a problem in my building.)

Someone stole my COAL.

Definitely going on te naughty list.

Education Is Key to Fighting Disinformation on Social Media - The New York Times:

"These groups can be broadly defined as people who have a deep distrust of authority and traditional sources of information such as governments, scientists, doctors or bankers. This distrust is frequently rooted in a sense of feeling betrayed or harmed by those authorities. There could be completely legitimate reasons — whether personal, social or ... https://micro.fromjason.xyz/2024/12/08/education-is-key.html

Once in a lifetime photo.

Towards the end of a fabulous auroral display, a meteor streaked through my shot.
I was literally dancing with joy!

Early November 2021, near Egilsstaðir in eastern #Iceland.
ISO-800 f/2.8 15 seconds exposure.

remember when ICE is in your neighborhood or in a place you are also in, fuck with them as much as you can... LEGALLY

you help nobody by getting arrested, but you can make it difficult. use your privilege, whatever it is.

"WELL HELLO ICE OFFICERS! ARE YOU LOOKING FOR ILLEGALS?" you scream at the top of your lungs while banging on a bell or trashcan

"they went thatadda way" as you point to the sky

"I DON'T KNOW WHERE [person's name] IS OFFICER! I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYBODY WHO LOOKS LIKE [person's description, but wrong]."

"I'm sorry, what did you say?" times infinity as you act like you're trying to be helpful

It’s probably institutionalist of me but I just don’t think that one’s entire presidential cabinet should have conflicts of interest with their personal businesses, be unable to pass an FBI background check, and not be allowed within 100 feet of a schoolyard

Maybe I start doing “photo dumps” but with screenshots from around the web and definitely not using the term “dump.”

The NY Times refuses to cover the murder of Yeremi Colino, which took place in Manhattan the same day as the murder of the UHC CEO, because Colino was an immigrant child killed by a white supremacist who asked whether he could speak English. Just like NYPD refuses to carry out the same kind of manhunt with hourly updates on the killer. They only care about corporate tycoons, not teenagers being killed. This is how they cover for the hate crime.

Your AI clone could target your family, but there’s a simple defense - Ars Technica:

"For example, you could tell your parents, children, or spouse to ask for a word or phrase to verify your identity if something seems suspicious, such as “The sparrow flies at midnight,” “Greg is the king of burritos,” or simply “flibbertigibbet.” (As fun as these sound, your password should be secret and not the same as these.)"

Two years later.

Want to know one of the major reasons Mastodon didn't catch on with journalists and large website owners?

It is *invisible* in referrer statistics.

Here's my blog from the last month.

BlueSky now sends me more traffic than Bing.

How much traffic does Mastodon send? It is impossible to know due to the "noreferrer" header in all links.

(I'm not saying your privacy isn't important. But you can't grow a community if no-one knows you exist.)

There are few places on the web where someone can post a website and people will give really helpful feedback. Mastodon is one of those places.

People in the video are my very talented friends from improv, Hannah and Cole. I gave them the general idea and they ran with it. Everything in the video is 100% improvised except for the tag line.
