More of this please. Absolutely not OK to stay quiet and complacent at this point.

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching.

Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

Abraham Lincoln's 1855 Letter to Joshua Speed

We began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes." When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics."

β€œI’m so angry, I could burn the world”
β€œUnfortunately, someone else has burned it. We need to unburn it”

β€œI’m so angry, I could burn the world” β€œUnfortunately, someone else has burned it. We need to unburn it”

This quote hit me pretty hard today:

β€œI’m so angry, I could burn the world”
β€œUnfortunately, someone else has burned it. We need to unburn it”

Tired of feeling helpless, so we made some signs, went to the #Fayetteville market house and let folks know we won’t go away. Thanks to @controlledburn.bsky.social for showing up.

A clam with a spring attached to the shell. The spring has a magnet placed above a sensor.

Hardly new info, but BSky should know:

Warsaw's water quality is monitored by eight clams with magnets attached to their shells. If contamination in the water causes the clams to close, the magnets trigger an alarm and shut off the city's water supply.
Thank you, little guardian molluscs.

I’m not going back to meta. Many of those accounts are bots. Some are local yokels. None are worth my mental or emotional energy.

It's been a week. The shock part is over; the awe part never happened. Time to be throwing sand into the fascist gears, y'all.

Change in Paris air quality between 2007 and 2023 using visuals

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people.

Good trade.
