Please don't ask children to 'get into pairs (or groups)', without grouping them yourself or setting ground rules to include everyone.
This is traumatising each time, to the rejected or invisible children who get left out.

this eh, article, written by an apprently very upset oil baron - is the most glowing review of Biden/Harris and a potential Harris presidency I've seen. It outlines how she's going to use sneaky political tricks to abolish oil and fund the energy transition while detailing the mechanisms. Anything that make guys like these be very upset makes me very happy. His hatred shines off the page and bathes me in the light of the Valar.

U.S. Presidential hopeful Kamala Harris has voiced support for fracking, but despite her rhetoric, a Harris presidency would not favor the U.S. oil and gas industry.Dan Doyle (OilPrice.com)
To correct the common misunderstanding:
Eve (they/them), Alice (she/her), and Bob (he/him) are in a consensual, BDSM relationship, featuring Eve as service top, Alice as the bratty bottom, and Bob, who just likes to watch.
Their safe word is "indistinguishability obfuscation"
Eve only "breaks" Alice's encryption because she's super into it, not to cause harm.
Way more bats this year at the hummingbird feeder than I've ever seen. I shot this through the window with my phone, zoomed in.
If I sit out on the porch long enough, they'll come back but I have other things to do tonight.
They'll have both feeders drained in a few more minutes.
Publication in Norway actually printed that more young people are dying of illness and that scientists fear covid is the reason.
It’s about time this made headlines - and I sincerely hope people are paying attention.
Cumulative infections are doing untold amounts of damage. They increase your risk of Long Covid - but it’s also a vascular virus which means you could be a at risk for clots, heart attacks, strokes and more.
We need to start mitigating before it’s too late. We don’t know what will happen in 5 or 10 more years. We don’t yet know what the true long term effects of repeat infections will be.
What we DO know is pretty scary. Why aren’t we applying the precautionary principle? Why aren’t we willing to be humble and admit this is a novel virus that we shouldn’t be treating as though it were “nothing.”?
Mask up. Clean the air. Test. Isolate. It’s not that hard. And demand more from your government and public health authorities.

If you're thinking about buying a new car, and privacy means anything to you at all, you should be aware that every new car is basically rolling spyware.
The only answer to this right now, is to buy an older car.

I found a great reality check was "tell me five fun facts about Charlie Stross" (me, visible on wikipedia). First five facts were broadly accurate. But then I asked for "five more fun facts about …" a couple of times. The truthiness of the answers degraded steadily and seamlessly and by the fourth round Google's bot was spouting total nonsense.
LLMs have no theory of mind to support a concept of truth and so deliver utter rubbish with absolute certainty.

aren’t fortune cookies supposed to make predictions about an uncertain future?
This is merely stating facts, by no means a prediction.

Everything leaks eventually. You know how your navigation software warns you of traffic jams? It recognises that all the phones it's tracking in real time are bunched up closer together in the jammed area than in the normal flow.
With a copy of the last twenty years of location data, and a throbbing sense of curiosity, I ask my query agent: correlate locations of serving polititicans with locations of people with prostitution charges where spatial and temporal overlap occurs in a hotel room.
ahem.
Capturing the browser's back button/gesture to "wait before you go" a visitor is absolutely hostile and will never result in any volume of positive "conversions" you absolute fuckwads so knock it the hell off.

Oh, as a topic wanderer myself (I don’t like the word “generalist”), I love and endorse this comic.
(via @simondlr’s newsletter).
Young people: We’d like to buy a house.
Capital: Pfft. Are you rich?
Young people: Uh, no? Ok. We’ll rent an apartment!
Capital: Great! Rent has increased 300%.
Young people: We can’t afford that! Sigh. Where’s the public housing?
Capital: According to the new zoning laws, public housing is illegal. Luxury condos are all that can be built.
Young people: Fuck. I guess we’re homeless, then.
Capital: Sorry, homelessness is also illegal.
I love reading ancient cuneiform tablets. Classics such as "Fuck you, this copper sucks." (Ea Nasir), "I should get more new clothes, my dad's employee gets new clothes twice a month and it's embarrassing.", and of course "The sesame harvest will die — let nobody say I did not warn you!", which is absolutely a set up for "Per my last clay tablet.".
Social media & email may be part of the problem. But if we're still like this when we have to carve our petty bullshit into clay then it's clear that we're the problem. It's us.
I want someone to make a nice simple monitor with like 7 inputs (2xDP, 2xhdmi, DVI, VGA, and composite) and then to have mechanical radio buttons on the front to switch between them.
