Instead of daylight savings time, let’s “fall back” = gain extra hour, every six months and never “spring forward.” Just keep shifting time forever, savoring that bonus hour when we get it until night is day and day is night and we are free, baby, FREE

If you don't like how we punch Nazis now.... You should have seen what we did to them in the 40s... Fascism isn't to be debated it is meant to be destroyed

Listen, if you are feeling like it’s too late to follow your dreams or to change things, recall that the very first LIFE ON EARTH film by David Attenborough came out in the 70s when David was 53. Think of every amazing thing he has done since to change the world and promote the environment; these happened in his 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and now at 96 he is working on a new documentary in Scotland. I’m 45. It’s like I haven’t been born yet in David years. #nature #environment #aging #hope

@VickiKyriakakis I published my first book a month before turning 50. Currently writing book four. It's never too late, Vicki. @bschillace @MorpheusB

#introduction 🕒

I'm Max! I'm from New Zealand but currently living in Scotland. I have two ragdoll kittens that are growing up so fast, and two sons who seem to grow up even faster 😁

I'm a C# dev by day and I enjoy a good DB and a nice spot of React too. Fan of bees and 3d printing!

I'm half of the team that developed the Stream Bingo twitch extension, and I'm really proud of how much people love it ❤️

Thanks @nova for running this amazing server!

I just found out I was George Santos. Caught me completely off guard.

One of the most disturbing aspects about the speed and intensity in which outright fascism has increasingly taken a hold of institutions isn't just the fact that people who are not shy about wanting to hurt those with progressive values are running things, it's that everyday people are the ones who emboldened these people and put them in power.

Excessive CW use! #MastodonMeta 

I just had this go by on my timeline:
----------------------------------------------

Just muted @ceoln for excessive CW use.

(CW = content warning)
----------------------------------------------
which I thought was rather quirky and endearing. This was while I was posting about my Parker House Rolls with a CW of "food", and some AiArt stuff under "AIArt" or something like that.

I tend to use CWs quite often, as sort of a title really, even if I have no specific reason to think anyone's trying to avoid the content (although I can definitely imagine someone being tired of AIArt discourse, and not warning to see food pictures for whatever reason, and etc).

Are there lots of people who are displeased by lots of CWs? One can always ask the client to always expand them if it comes to that. Maybe they want CWs only for things that... they consider to need a CW? But how would I know what that is?

I expect that I will continue to do this, and just think fondly of the person who muted me because of it; but if someone points out a reason it might actually be a bad idea, I might do it less.

(We should have a CW for CWs!!! Woot!)

@jkottke

I have been warning for years now -- and with increasing urgency since they added variables to CSS -- that killer, self-evolving sentient AI that slaughters all of humanity will arise not in the large-language models of OpenAI but in a 12,000-line CSS file of a regional bank in Ohio

LB: A subtlety that drops out of conversations trans people have when we're defending ourselves and our rights is that many of us continue to feel fondness for and kindship with the sort of men or women we were once percieved as being.

For me, thats butch lesbians and masculine women in general. I find it so unpleasant when transphobes accuse me of trying to wipe out butch or otherwise masculine women, because I remain such an admirer of that way of being in the world.

"This is exactly why we need an outright ban on all use of facial recognition surveillance in places of public accommodation like bars, restaurants, retail stores, and music and sports venues," said Evan Greer, director of digital rights advocacy group Fight for the Future, in a statement.

@shoq This email thing will not work. The first thing I had to do was pick a service. People will NOT stand for this, let me tell you!
