A man in Saudi Arabia has been sentenced to death for his tweets, and surprise: Elon Musk is NOT funding his legal bill as promised because there's a good chance that the necessary data to identify this man came from the second largest shareholder of Twitter: the Saudi prince Alwaleed bin Talal.

Musk has been awfully silent about this as you can't really make your “freedom of speech!!” argument when you assist with killing a retired teacher for the regime critic posts they made on your platform, only possible because that regime owns a huge chunk of “your” platform.

looking for books or resources that might cover something along the lines of emergency rural medicine know-how, something a little more comprehensive than field/survival first-aid tutorials

I asked the librarian if they had any books on paranoia.

Beautiful post on craft and care and maintenance here. She mentions the dangers of pursuing speed (of production) over safe and consistent cadence, and I think this applies more widely to kinds of work where there is pressure to optimise something in the name of efficiency (rather than necessarily speed) without considering the unintended consequences. Or perhaps some of those consequences are intentional after all...

A cool Saturday morning. Heat is forecast to come back later next week, but I feel (hope) autumn is coming. Kengo did a happy dance wanting to go when I put on my clothes. #dog #dogs #DogsOfMastodon #rescuedogs #AdoptDontShop #photography #FujiFilm

As a reminder, W3W is a proprietary and for-profit system which shouldn't be used anywhere near government or emergency services. It is prone to catastrophic failure and their business model appears to be unsustainable.
