my mother, staring down at my open casket: is that what you're wearing

This is legit scary. Marsha Blackburn is openly admitting that her bill KOSA will be used to drive trans people off the internet.

But Democrats are lining up to support it, and LGBTQIA+ orgs have dropped their opposition. WTF WTF WTF

"Kinsey starał się, poprzez obszerne wywiady z ponad 5000 kobiet, utworzyć statystyczny zapis tego, co ludzie faktycznie robią, a nie tego, co powinni robić wedle prawa i zwyczaju. Nie wydawał osądów, a jedynie opisywał swoje odkrycia; odkrył jednak częstość stosunków przedmałżeńskich i pozamałżeńskich, które, łagodnie mówiąc, zaburzyły rycerski kodeks wielu naiwnych, hipokrytyczny lub zadowolonych z siebie ludzi — zwłaszcza starszych ludzi u władzy.

Alfred C. Kinsey miał nieszczęście opublikować swój raport w 1953, u szczytu McCarthystycznej histerii w Ameryce […]. Wielu określiło raport Kinseya na temat kobiecej seksualności jako ćwiczenie z komunizmu albo, jeżeli nie wprost wywrotowe, to dostatecznie osłabiające amerykańską moralność, by umożliwić komunistom łatwy dostęp do naszych niespokojnych wybrzeży."

Chciałoby się pomyśleć, że zrobiliśmy od tego czasu postęp jako społeczeństwo.

Some new art as a logo for cytag.nl. Yes, no, cancel?

As Twitter self-immolates, I am seeing people I know setting up on Bluesky.

I find this perplexing. Can people really not learn the lesson that a social network owned by a capitalist is a social network they don't control?

You can argue about whether Bluesky or Mastodon has the better technology, but what's 100% clear is that Mastodon is run BY users FOR users. And that difference is the only one that matters in the end.

This quiz has ended.

The correct answer is “for a man,” though most people did not hear that. Armstrong swore he said “for a man,” but even after he listened to the audio himself, he was in doubt too, as he could not hear it either. However, in 2006, a computer analysis of the sound waves provided evidence that he said “for a man” and not “for man.”

This whole Church of Scientology freaking out over how right to repair will force them to open up how their e-meters work thing is my favourite current side plot. 🍿

I've just begun the process of recabling my office. By that I mean unplgging stuff throwing all the cables into the hallway and then plugging all the cables back in, in a more organised way. I cannot tell you the crimes that I have uncoveed. I cannot tell you the number of PSUs plugged in, with nothing at the other end. Honestly, I don't think I'm ever going to need to buy a USB Hub ever again.

Also ports fail when you change stuff that's been plugged in for literal decades.

Odwiedziłem wczoraj Ślężę, a w drodze powrotnej przy okolicznym lesie wypatrzyłem taki artefakt.

I zastanawiam się, ilu ówczesnych prenumeratorów magazynu "Chip" pamięta, że pod koniec lat 90. ubiegłego wieku wsparło zalesianie okolic Ślęży. Być może niewielu. Ale ślad pozostał.

TIL: the standard error in Unix is a thing because one day in the 70s, a photosetting pipeline ended up producing beatiful printed messages „cannot open file foobar”.

#Mushroom what is this?

Did I ever mention that I wrote a book? About the history of females Geoscientists from around the world?

Life with #birds

(Seeds and millet are treats, and you should mostly be feeding your bird some kind of pelleted diet and vegetables.)

The oldest printed book in the Huntington Library isn’t its Gutenberg Bible, but a Chinese Buddhist text nearly four centuries older. https://huntington.org/videos-and-recorded-programs/thousand-years-books-printed-1085
