I might have to take a break from social media for a couple days, just to give the anxiety a break. Stay safe out there, everybody. I hope you are all successful in whatever you choose to do. (Unless you're a fascist, in which case, go jump in the ocean)

Wow, it does not like December.

In the middle of Aarstreet?

Imhotep thanks you.

I figured that was why that date was chosen. I'm still disappointed, though. No ancient undead can use that app.

📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU.

Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.

I'm disappointed that the oldest it will go is Aug 21, 1909.

I agree, the term is terrible. (though, Artificial String Construction doesn't exactly roll off the tongue)

Huh, link got suspended? @spacelawshitpost.me

It's the jumps, but also the part where it sometimes goes backwards. #ADHD

It says a lot about the world that "it makes life better for everyone" isn't a very good answer for many people, and requires further explanation to be applicable to them.

For those people, I usually go into the "Why do you think money exists?" discussion.

I ate so much cheese today that my legs hurt while I was sitting down. This is despite multiple super strength lactase. I think, perhaps, I may have finally crossed the line of too much cheese.

For those interested in paying for a platform that will actively protects its users, here's where you can pay us (Northsky)

Anyone: Why are there suddenly so many AHDH diagnoses? Dr. Jen: Same reason there are suddenly more stars after we built telescopes.

The mystery of medical diagnosis!

Every once in a while, while playing a modern game, I will think "remember when the major UX within games was just getting points for a higher score?"

(Then I go back to playing idle games...)

The biggest barrier to the widespread adoption of renewables, is the fact that the richest, least intelligent, most self-important, fashiest 50 dudes in the US, wasted the low interest rates of the 2010s investing in monkey jpegs instead of solar cells and battery production.🤡

Now they fear China.

Savage. I love it.

Please stop calling Cyber Security Awareness Month CSAM. Do not send e-mails with ideas for "Participating in CSAM".

Rest in Peace, Dr Goodall. I hope we, as a species, can someday live up to the work you did.

A blue sky post that has been hidden and labeled as "sensual alf"

It's got its own label!

I'm already dying laughing and I haven't even clicked through yet.

I love these presentations of theory. For years I literally said fashion was pointless, until I worked in sales and needed to be in presenter mode. Now threads like this put words to things I had learned and understood, but didn't really know, you know?

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

If you think this is US-only, it's not.

If you think the GDPR protects you, it's doesn't.

If you hadn't realised privacy is a national security and corporate espionage issue, it is.

If you think politicians can't tackle this, they can.

If you believe that tech or business need this, they don't.

Elizabeth Jacobs, PhD @elizabethjacobs.bsky.social I'm an epidemiologist. Sewage systems are sexy. Dosco Jones @doscojones.bsky.social I'm an engineer. Sewage systems are sexy.

I’m a sewage system. I also have a great personality.

How do we educate the next generation of open source contributors? This is what Ruth Ikegah, Leslie Hawthorne, Stephen Walli, and I discussed at the recent #OSSummit EU in Amsterdam. Here's my blog post with a few more details along with the video of the session. fastwonderblog.com/2025/09/27/e...

every story out of the US these days is either "hitler sends stormtroopers to execute political enemies" or "clown says something so stupid it's hilarious" and they're about the same guy, the hitlerclown

I can't fault you in the least. Take care of yourself, and know you're not alone.

"As long as everything is already difficult, the difficulties brought along some friends" is a shitty place to be. Wish I could give you a hug, friend, and I hope I get to see you soon.
