@dysfun back in the days of LAMP I saw a project that did this. They'd read a string from the database and then eval() it, which would load other data from the database. Ridiculously over-complicated for a CRUD app. Impossible to maintain. Good times.

The correlation between the kind of dudes who rush in to say "not all men" and the kinds of dudes who were being discussed in the first place is... high, and you should know that before you rush in to say "not all men"

RE: https://masto.ai/@transworld/116456973972107204

My impulse on this one is that people who are least targeted by the fascists need to flood the FCC with comments in support of having trans and nonbinary content on TV so that trans kids don't have to go back to how it was when I was a kid and there were almost never trans characters, and when they were it was usually a joke about trans sex workers or a trans person who was a real problem for their cis family a la that terrible fucking marriage episode of Friends.

Ghost In The Machine is a great new anti-AI documentary

i'm in it, so you know it's good stuff

tl;dr AI is olde timey race science all the way down and has been since the start. if you say that to people they'll say "look that's ridiculously narrow" but it turns out it literally fuckin is. all eugenicists and race scientists. bloody hell.

i saw the London preview last night and it rated the applause it got at the end

anyway! it's playing for the next week in London and in Kansas City!

@h5e @fesshole It's a great way to get fired in work-at-will states, and put on the the "PIP layoffs list" in the others.

Corporate media won't tell you this: my own congressman, Corporate Dem Bill Foster, issued a press release saying he has an "open mind" about Trump's pick for Federal Reserve Chair, Kevin Warsh.

A man in the Epstein files 500 times. An election denier. One of the architects of the 2008 financial collapse. No Illinois newspaper has touched this story.

This is why independent media matters more than ever. Accountable to the people, not billionaires. Let's Address This. https://lets-address-this-with-qasim-rashid.ghost.io/the-rise-of-independent-media-and-why-the-powerful-are-terrified-of-it/

I'm planning to make some merch for #Mastodon's 10th anniversary and I would like to gauge which products folks might be most interested in buying. Remember, it's all bespoke, I can't make everything. For the sake of argument let's assume you love the original design that for now I want to keep a surprise...

It took her a long time to realise most people couldn't hear the soundtrack of their lives. Hers was always present; when she was with other people she could hear theirs too.

Sometimes they made a cacophony, sometimes harmony, when mixing with hers.

When it changed, she learned to trust it.
