Read the full memoir: https://newsletter.pythonessprogrammer.com/p/sawdust-and-sacred-stones — dive into Baraboo’s past, meet Kunu, and see how place remembers. Read it now.
Small rebellions matter: stolen seeds, secret syrup tapping, and whispered stories kept traditions alive. Resilience shows up as tiny acts that resist erasure and heal the land over generations.
Two Baraboos: one powered by mills, sawdust, and circus spectacle; the other carried by Ho-Chunk stories, quartzite bluffs, and ancestral memory. Progress vs. place—both shaped the town’s fate.
Sawdust and Sacred Stones — a historical fiction memoir that peels back Baraboo’s sawdust veneer to reveal the hidden river of Ho-Chunk memory. Want a story of industry, identity, and quiet resistance? Read the thread.

Oh sure, everyone believes Anthropic when they say Claude is now conscious and has “anxiety”
But when I say I have anxiety it’s all “have you tried mindfulness”
Last week, Republicans blocked a bill to fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard.
They rejected it so ICE and DHS can avoid any level of accountability.
I can't recommend strongly enough that you adopt a radically accepting worldview. Your reaction to queers, furries, therians, otherkin, neopronouns, plural systems and any and all other weird, niche identities should be "oh, that's neat, tell me more."

“Amazon holds engineering meeting following AI-related outages
The online retail giant said there had been a ‘trend of incidents’ in recent months, characterised by a ‘high blast radius’ and "Gen-AI assisted changes"
We’ve been saying this for years, Gen AI is not a reliable engineering tool! 🥲
NEW: A couple of 20-year-old developers make $500,000 a month promising to help men, including minors, to stop watching porn, but exposed their private porn watching habits.
When we asked them about it in January, they lied about the huge security flaw. Here's why we're naming them now:
Vaccines save lives.
Vaccines protect you from infection, and/or protect you from getting the worst complications of the disease.
In addition, by being vaccinated, you are protecting all of those around you, including the young, the old and the immunocompromised.
I'm just gonna start explaining news with this graph I thought of
it is not normal for official government social media channels to behave like arms of the Republican Party
While journalists are pointing out that Anthropic may be involved in killing Iranian girls, there is a women in tech campaign happening where Lovable and Anthropic are being promoted.

that the Trump administration is trying to shut down a leading AI company because it’s unwilling to develop autonomous murder systems is terrifying, and should be of grave concern to everyone in the world

#VoteYES #vote #virginia
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
We're the last to know unfortunately 😔 🤣
And if you're in Virginia, early voting is now to vote YES on redistricting.
Because our state should represent all its constituents, not just its business owners.
I'm starting to see signs in virginia about "voting no for the unfair redistricting," and I would ask those same people if they think the current districts are "fair."

Dont forget about his winery!
Y’all are sick as fuck because you chose to stop face masking. Change that.
