Since we are once again dealing with "the only silent era comedians of note were men" I feel I need to stand up for the ladies.

Thanks to @electronicsound.bsky.social for a lovely farewell review of 'Tone Science Module No.10 The Final Patch'. As they say "all good things come to an end".

I'm very much enjoying this book I'm currently reading. It has a young boy with magical powers he knew nothing about, being taken away from his dull life in suburbia after accidentally creating mayhem by casting spells.

Sign Petition: Stop Masked Immigration Raids. This Is Not How a Democracy Operates. These agents are using masks to shield themselves from accountability for their willingness to participate in dangerous overreach. (48941 signatures on petition)

Masked immigration raids don’t protect us. They hide abuse and strip away our dignity. Stand with me in demanding transparency and accountability by adding your name to this petition.

It is so, so important to learn to understand the difference between A Gross Thing That Freaks Me Out, versus A Thing Which Causes Actual Harm In The World

because as long as you can't navigate the difference, your disgust is a lever that can be used to manipulate you

To spend a life ruining the lives of others is a choice I will never understand.

A lot of other confusing things make sense when you internalize this somewhat non-intuitive part of the process.

My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdani’s dad (same like β€œmy stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmates”) and apparently the New York Times doesn’t understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my mom’s people!

Hans: Palestine is the story. Not Glastonbury. Mass starvation is the story. Not Glastonbury. IOF members admitting to intentionally shooting civilians that pose no risk seeking aid is the story. Not Glastonbury. Addictive opiods in bags of flour to a starved population is the story. Not Glastonbury. Genocide is the story. Not Glastonbury. Palestine is the story. Not Glastonbury.

Worth a watch:

Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

β€œIf I were a science journalist writing an article about a supposedly shocking development like this, I would email some experts and check to see if it’s for real. But plenty of science journalists don’t bother with that anymore: they just believe the press releases.”

A black and white cat sat on a bannister.

Longest shot in the world here, but one of our #cats went missing last Saturday and still hasn't shown up. Never missed a meal in her almost 6 years.

She's microchipped, neutered, and wearing a grey collar.

Droylsden area of Greater Manchester, specifically M43 7 postcode.

A hateful thing to say. People whose approach to life is not faith-based have done enormous good, majority non-religious societies have been some of the strongest proponents of human dignity and solidarity. Why is the BBC just printed this unchallenged? If it's "news", it should be balanced.
