not sure why everyone is boosting this today but I'm sure it's not good, so, FYI

Whee

"...The climatic shift devastated crops nearly 150 years ago, raising the question of whether a similar disruption could threaten global food security yet again. The strongest El Niño on record from 1877 to 1878 fueled conditions that led to a global famine which killed more than 50 million people across India, China, Brazil and elsewhere. That was 3 to 4 percent of the estimated global population at the time, equal to at least 250 million people if it happened today.

“It was arguably the worst environmental disaster to ever befall humanity,” researchers have written about the event...."

@atomicpoet I still remember a school that forced girls into home-ec and boys into shop.

I also remember a girl who got mostly As getting a C in physics, but shrugging it off, "it's a boy's subject anyway."

I also remember boys telling me I got good marks on tests because I was "lucky," but when they did it, they were just smarter.

It's a complex thing. But dismantling means taking it back down to the beginning and having teachers who don't project onto students and watch out for this stuff

The Democratic Party as BlackBerry was not on my #LinkedIn bingo card.

Erynn Petersen Woke up annoyed about being a Democrat in 2026. I finally did the thing every frustrated Democrat eventually does: I went to the DNC website looking for some evidence that someone, somewhere, is actually driving the bus. A vision. A roadmap. A coherent theory of the next decade. What I found instead was the 2024 party platform, a document so frozen in amber it reads like it was authored on a BlackBerry. It is May 2026. Al is restructuring labor markets in real time, young voters are economically stranded, trust in institutions has collapsed, media has atomized into algorithmic warfare, and the official posture of the Democratic Party appears to be a 92-page PDF about "finishing the job." This is not leadership. This is legacy enterprise software maintenance mode. The party talks about democracy the way large companies talk about digital transformation: endless committee-generated language, zero product clarity, and absolutely no sense of urgency. Meanwhile the opposition ships daily. WTH.

“Our community has spent so many years building something of genuine human value: a shared body of knowledge, cultural meaning and careful critique all of which lend considerable discursive depth and richness to what we do. But in the brave new world of Knitting Bullshit, all of that accumulated wisdom, all of the real history of knitting as labour, as resistance, as solidarity, as design intelligence, as craft, is now there simply to provide the powerful emotional currency that AI-generated podcasts and videos cynically mine for profit.”

TIL that `git` commands which allow you to apply `-` will ALWAYS do this filtering before `--reverse` or other ordering adjustements

so in order to query the commit details for "oldest known commit that touched this file" you have to do some harebrained thing like:

`git log -1 $(git rev-list --reverse HEAD -- some/file | head -1)`

OK, AMERICAN MEDIA, YOU’VE GOT SOME EXPLAINING TO DO.

(Astonishing that no one charted this so clearly before. And don’t expect it to be a lead story anywhere. It’s an indictment of journalism in general.)

Can we get more admins onboard?

Screenshot of a Mastodon server's server rules: Don’t police others’ use of CWs, alt text, or tags Whilst we have some guidelines around when to use CWs, alt text, and tags, we only have one rule about them: Use CWs for adult or NSFW content. You can politely ask other people to use specific CWs, alt text, or tags that you prefer, as long as you don’t state your preferences as absolute rules or requirements. This is especially important when marginalised people speak about their experiences of marginalisation. For example, if you are not BIPOC, don’t tell BIPOC to hide their experiences of racism behind CWs.
