@BernieWonIowa @omegaman @jeff I'm still shocked by the way the Cub Scouts expanded into my house when I was 7. And don't get me started on the way Neighborhood Watch expanded into my next door neighbor's house: right on my border! It's a clear and intentional provocation that entitles me to invade his house, try to shoot him and kidnap his kids.

@AnnemarieBridy The content maw really is insatiable. There was a period where they went through all the 60s and 70s TV shows; Disney is self-cannibalizing with so-called live action versions of its cartoons -- so-called because of how much CGI has blurred the line -- and even as a one-time Trekkie I've long since lost track of all the Star Trek spinoffs. How long before "Schoolhouse Rock: The Motion Picture"?

@pezmico Shame-denominated carbon trading, I love it: convince someone to _not_ take one private jet flight and your own carbon footprint is offset for years.

“In our research we found no age was the right age to be a woman leader. There was always an age-based excuse to not take women seriously, to discount their opinions, or to not hire or promote them. Each individual woman may believe she’s just at the wrong age, but the data make the larger pattern clear. Any age can be stigmatized by supervisors and colleagues to claim that the woman is not valued or is not a fit for a leadership role.”

@HauntedOwlbear @theresnotime Yep. They have more time than you, and infinite commitment, and will wear everyone down.

If there's something you're not supposed to tell anyone, be sure to say "I'm not supposed to tell anyone this, but," before you tell anyone.

@Landcombatmissiles I'm guessing it's a pretty damn big improvement on being in the Russian Army. Maybe put the word out and the rest of them will surrender.

@JamesGleick No, hang on, Dogecoin. Surely he's taking that.

@JamesGleick Considering that what passes for AI is an elaborated mashup of things that people have said, one expects that any understanding of the universe that emerges will resemble a deranged religion. So yeah, sign me up. Can I pay in last year's NFTs?

To the President of the #CanaryIslands, the EU and governments everywhere:

We’re calling on you to reject the plan to build the world's first industrial octopus farm in #Spain and #BanOctopusFarming in the #EU and around the world, including its #import and #financing. Octopuses are intelligent, sentient and fascinating #animals. Let’s avoid creating more animal suffering for unsustainable and short-term human profit.
