I saw a woman sleeping. In her sleep she dreamt Life stood before her, and held in each hand a gift — in the one Love, in the other Freedom. And she said to the woman, ‘Choose!’
And the woman waited long: and she said: ‘Freedom!’
And Life said, ‘Thou hast well chosen. If thou hadst said, ‘Love,’ I would have given thee that thou didst ask for; and I would have gone from thee, and returned to thee no more. Now, the day will come when I shall return. In that day I shall bear both gifts in one hand.’
I heard the woman laugh in her sleep.
— Olive Schreiner, Dreams, 1891

Suppose I had a week to spend travelling around #Wyoming and I wanted to see a lot of #sauropod #fossils. Apart from the Wyoming Dinosaur Center and UWGM, where should I visit? (Let's assume for now that I can arrange collections access.)

Please boost for coverage!

@Strandjunker Keep reminding your friends, and make sure the Democratic ones are registered to vote.

The fact that business owners fought to keep remote work from being more widely adopted is a fucking tragedy. Remote work solved so many problems i.e. less greenhouse gases, less traffic (which means less strain on infrastructure), more money circulating in smaller towns, less wasted time commuting for employees (which also means less money being wasted on gas) etc. But nope, we gotta justify these buildings somehow.

Thanks to @WahbAllat for Arabic corrections.

When a tv show says it contains "adult themes" I'm expecting it to be about stuff like hurting your back, having indigestion, going for a nice nap

@annietime @darnell @mastodonmigration @StillIRise1963 That's still better than the alternative. Let them riot. That means more of them go to prison. We can't give in to fear, because that's what they want. Never do what your enemy wants you to do.

Ron DeSantis should be forced to carry his dead campaign to term.

1. At age 10, all boys have their vas deferens severed.
2. After age 25, the vasectomy can be reversed at any time if a woman agrees to have a child with him.
3. After the birth, he has another vasectomy.

Oh, too extreme? Great, then fuck off with your laws about women’s bodies.

@stevesilberman He reeks of desperation. He thinks if he wins, he won't go to jail. Why he isn't already in jail, I don't know. But he's desperate and he's throwing everything at the wall, and his cult members will eat it up.

One thing I find fascinating about Republican voters and the mainstream media is that Trump routinely says things like this and -- well, you may not have heard, but the man is running for President of the United States -- and nobody just says outright, "WHAT THE BLOODY FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS MAN? WHAT THE FUCK IS HE TALKING ABOUT?"

Research into adversarial watermarking for AI is just beginning, and while there’s no strong reason to believe it will succeed, there are some good reasons to believe it will ultimately fail. eff.org/deeplinks/2024/01/ai-w

@darnell @mastodonmigration @StillIRise1963 They are going to cheat. They will do everything they accuse us of doing. Voting might not be enough. Many Republican voters are absolutely the worst people, but there are some who are merely deeply misinformed. When the only place they obtain information is Facebook and Fox News, it's impossible to make informed decisions. Some minds *can* be changed, and we have methods that they didn't in the 30s and 40s. Methods of helping those who can be helped. Methods like Motivational Interviewing, Street Epistemology, and Deep Canvassing. Not everyone can do these, but some people are naturals at it. If we don't change the minds that are changeable, it could get really ugly.

It's funny how we all know that if we walk around with a huge sign that says "I am really smart", everyone will wonder if in fact we actually are really smart. And yet some people think that putting a huge flag on their truck makes them look patriotic.

Limited understanding leads to poor decisions. Increase your understanding, and you will make better decisions, which will be better for you, your family, and ultimately, the world.
