It's only a murder of crows if there's probable caws

@pekkatahkola What kind of dystopian nightmare is this where a grade-school child needs a car to access the main entrance of their school?

And, in totally unrelated news ‒ „More than 250 billionaires and millionaires are demanding that the political elite meeting for the World Economic Forum in Davos introduce wealth taxes to help pay for better public services around the world.

“Our request is simple: we ask you to tax us, the very richest in society,” the wealthy people said in an open letter to world leaders. “This will not fundamentally alter our standard of living, nor deprive our children, nor harm our nations’ economic growth. But it will turn extreme and unproductive private wealth into an investment for our common democratic future.“

So important to teach elders who don't already know how to read email headers.

This phishing email used the i vs L trick to look like it was from icloud when it was really from icioud - but you would never have known if you didn't look at the headers where the typeface makes it obvious.

The arcs made by grasses in the snow show how wind directions varied since the last snowfall.

@joeycastillo seems to be a valid negative captcha :) only humans can be tricked :)

As of I'm not sure when but it must be pretty recent, Mastodon.social no longer shows a "Follows you" tag on profiles. If someone follows you but you don't follow them the follow button says "Follow back" and if they follow you and you follow them the button says "Mutual". I do not like this. I very, very, *very* much do not like this.

They say, "A rising tide lifts all boats."

And they weren't lying. They're just not mentioning what happens to people who aren't rich enough to have boats.

Day four of no power and no Internet. This big tree is the reason. One among hundreds in the area, but this is the one that took out *our* power and Internet.

PGE (Portland General Electric) claims we should get power back by 10pm today, but the ice storm arrives today, so we'll see.

Interviewer: It looks like your previous job only lasted three months. Can you share why you left?

Me: Sure! All new employers are subject to a 90-day probationary period, during which they are evaluated to make sure they are a good fit with my personal culture and can perform their duties satisfactorily. Not all companies make it.

Otóż... siedzial za mną denialista

Gosc mowi "dzien dobry panie profesorze, ja jestem denialistą. Wy działacie na modelach i nie ma dowodów na to, ze to prawda bo to tylko modele. I mam tu prace o prawda 20 naukowcow ktorzy sobie wlozyli jakies inne rzeczy do tych modeli i im wyszlo ze antropologiczne zmiany to może są, może ich nie ma i generalnie to nie da sie stwierdzic"

Profesor odpowiedzial tak: "
Pierwsze primo: nie jest tak trudno opublikowac kłamliwą prace.
Są prace ktore twierdza, ze szczepionki powoduja raka i są prace denializujace heliocentryzm (cos tam innego powiedzial, ale tez cos z grawitacja).
Drugie primo: jak mamy sobie modele termodynamiczne i działają w mierzalnych przez nas warunkach, to nie ma przyczyn, zeby nie dzialaly w modelach klimatycznych
Po trzecie: generalnie to duzo dziedzin nauki jest oparte na modelach (mówił cos o aerodynamice samolotow np.) i skwitowal ze prawo powszechnego ciazenia to tez model.

Powinno być nagranie później

As someone who spent a large portion of '98 and '99 making sure shit didn't break on Y2K, I'd like to extend a very heartfelt FUCK YOU to HBO for greenlighting a piece of shit documentary that suggests that effort wasn't necessary.

Long shot - Anyone know of a source book for a child targeted #RollPlay adventure in a #solarpunk universe?
