Anything is on the table, and the ones in charge have no idea what they’re doing.

It’s terrifying.

All the best oracle are saying, Donald, if you invade PERSIA, a great empire will fall! We love our ORACLES, especially as regards to Delphi and Future! thank you for your attention to this matter!

Yeah 😓

And they say a history education isn't important.

Today is international women's day. We have come a long way, but there is still so much more to do. Besides telling prominent women "Hey good job", I'd like to invite you all to think about the rest of the women, and how we treat them with our every day actions.

Rewatching Our Flag Means Death. Remember when gay pirates ruled TV and everything wasn’t burning?

Imagine walking down the street and seeing a smiling couple holding hands. You walk up to these strangers and say “your man isn’t my type.”

Classic.

it scares me to think that big tech/big AI's primary target demographic is kids

Eight Dogs, or Hakkenden: Part One--An Ill-Considered Jest Part One--An Ill-Considered Jest

For those who don’t get the reference (or are in the mood for a classic samurai tale).

Does it come in a Buddhist version that summons eight dog warriors, one through each bead?

Classic & very much part of our heritage.

A COMPUTER CAN NEVER GIVE YOU UP, THEREFORE A COMPUTER CAN NEVER LET YOU DOWN

People Have the Right to Refuse AI Britt Paris is the author of Radical Infrastructure: Imagining the Internet from the Ground Up, a new book published by the University of California Press.

You don’t have to participate in AI’s massive hype inflation, writes critical informatics scholar Britt S. Paris. You have a right to refuse the ‘inevitable’.

In all honesty, history reminds us military drafts are one of the least popular things a leader can do.

Normally I’d shrug it off, but the leadership is no longer caring about popular or any sort of logic.

Before kicking off a draft, maybe they should send over all of those individuals who signed up freely to wear combat fatigues & carry arms. Acronym starts with ‘I’, ‘C’ and ‘E’.

Many know Ada Lovelace, but too few know about women like Mary Allen Wilkes, who wrote most of the software for the first "personal" computer—the LINC.

Here are stories of modern and historical women in tech and digital rights that inspire us. How many did you already know? #InternationalWomensDay

The way they’re perfectly in rhythm. 😁

“Why wouldn’t women in those areas get the right to vote until…. Oh.”

If you need a timeline cleanse, this entire thread, sound on. 🪿

Am I sleepy because of the time change, because of the wet, cold, cloudy weather outside, or simply because it’s Sunday?

Is this from when Biscuit was on Argyle? That vibe, but might not be old enough.

Remeber on your way to work tomorrow it is statistically the most common day to have a minor traffic accident

When men's workload is automated, it's genius; when women's workload is automated it's a character flaw and morally questionable.

Regardless of whether Claude is 'conscious' or not (it's not, at least in any human sense of the word), you should be mindful of what habits of behavior you develop when interacting with it (or genAI in general). Practicing being shitty to something is bad for you, even if there's no Claude to harm.

Little (secondhand but unworn) treat to celebrate a new contract.

I know people have ethical concerns about real fur but, as invasive species with no natural predators, muppets have to be culled regularly or they can be very damaging to local ecosystems.

we have saved daylight

but at what cost

Still thinking of how your decision to move has since proven 100% the right thing to do.

Quote of the Day by Lucilla, daughter of Stoic emperor Marcus Aurelius, on her birthday: 'Waste no more time arguing... "Waste no more time arguing about what a good person should be. Be one." - Lucilla Lucilla, Marcus Aurelius Quote of the day

Hate to put a good lady down, but Lucilla didn’t say this. It was her father, Marcus Aurelius, in his Meditations (10.16). She really didn’t factor into this Stoic work. Even if I’d love more female writings from antiquity, we can’t misattribute quotes. lexundria.com/m_aur_med/10...

No matter if you change the clocks or not, remember; whatever the time, your pets are correct.
