The results are in: Worker satisfaction went up, revenues remained steady — and nearly all of the companies plan to stick with it for now.

Midjourney prompt: "AI as Mephistopheles"

me and who

We've updated ten of our stock-in-trade rebuttals to climate myths and are seeking feedback on those, one per week, to guide revisions of more articles.

This week it's "What were climate scientists predicting in the 1970s?" which discusses tentative research from 50 years ago that led nowhere but is now still being exploited to create an impression of "they don't know what they're talking about."

Comments and suggestions via the included feedback form appreciated!

Being on #Mastodon these last few months…and seeing and interacting with all of these talented and prolific writers and visual artists…I don’t understand why ANYone is still on that blue-winged dumpster fire of an app over there. This platform has bought me more peace than I’ve ever had on ANY form of social media ever. I wish I’d found this place sooner.

The #NYTimes anti-#trans coverage parallels its failings over #queer rights and AIDS. But the Times appears determined not to learn from its own history. https://www.thenation.com/article/society/new-york-times-trans-coverage-gay-rights-history/

“Platforms pay so many high-powered lawyers at so many DC firms that plaintiffs had to recruit an 80-year-old man who once argued a case before an appointee of Franklin Roosevelt.” @caseynewton points out that tech is so dominant in D.C. that conflicts of interest precluded most of the good lawyers from taking the plaintiffs’ case in the #Section230 hearing. https://www.platformer.news/p/the-people-who-want-to-end-section

Glad I don’t need to travel that way till late Octormeber

Breeze welcomed, blue skies.

#introduction time: We’re PyCon AU, Australia’s conference for and by the #Python programming community since 2010. After ten conferences on the East Coast and two conferences online, this year we’re going to be in Tarndanya/Adelaide on 18–22 Aug 2023! We’re run by a team of volunteers, led this year by @daisy and @attacus.

Students at Georgia Tech rallied and marched to #StopCopCity.

"A student spoke about Scout Schultz, the former president of a Tech LGBT club; they were murdered by Tech Police in 2017 while unarmed and in the midst of a mental health crisis. Many students in the crowd were unaware that GTPD had killed a student just 6 years earlier and were shocked at the realization that this fact has been hidden from them by the school."

One positive thing about social media is that it has helped to make ex-Christians somewhat more visible. I can relate to many of their stories. It is nice to be able to find others and realize that we aren't alone. Seeing others also has a normalizing effect. Maybe some who haven't left will realize that there are other options besides staying put.

Not surprisingly, our #Oklahoma state Supt. of schools #RyanWalters hasn't said a thing about this scandal of an abusive football coach who forced players to exercise nude... even though he is constantly trying to yank the credentials of teachers for teaching a "woke" curriculum or telling the truth about nation's racist history.
