Way to make me classify everything you did and will ever do vertically, straight into the bin

We were already on different pages like half the time someone sent me a link to one of your vids that made me go hmmm that's not right, but now I can just say No Thank You, I Do Not Partake In Garbage

Kurzgesagt: "AI bad! it's polluting everything with slop and false information"
Also Kurzgesagt: "That's why we'll only use the align tool" fine, not "AI"
"and programming help" and off the rails we go

what if I told you that taking accountability for your actions was traditionally considered a load-bearing feature of masculinity?

I wrote a piece for @wyrdscience.bsky.social's last issue about some of the ways the Discworld sits a little awkwardly with the lefty politics of a lot of its fans, but this is spot on. If you want a clear, unambiguous political message from the Discworld books it's this:

Diversity *wins*.

Heraโ€™s first year in space

Happy launch anniversary to ESA's Hera mission! ๐ŸŽ‚๐Ÿฅณ

One year ago ESA's first planetary defence mission was stranded on Earth, its launcher grounded, as a hurricane closed in on its launch site. What a difference a year makes! www.esa.int/ESA_Multimed...

The 90s had a lot of missteps but the then-earnest belief in diversity and multiculturalism brought on by post-Cold War optimism was one of it better fruits

Itโ€™s really hard to describe to people who are not artists how survival mode does *not* inspire creativity, as the myth would have us believe. It suppresses creativity as you try to limit every possible risk โ€“ and the opportunities that come with them.

The thing about this is, is this is how born-rich people *already* do it - whether it's making art, or starting a business, or whatever they successfully do. They already know it works.

Like, putting aside the fact that Moses Norton is a genuinely shitty human being, would *you* spend a whopping $48 USD (pre-tax and shipping) on a book that cites a bunch of fan wikis and claims itโ€™s in-depth research? Would you buy another book from a pub who A-OKโ€™d this?

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, itโ€™s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work.
