An article titled "The Rise of the Techno-Pastoral" by Lisa Peralta. The image that accompanies it depicts a gameboy whose screen shows a pixelated green field and trees, and its lead reads "When criticizing the present, we keep dreaming of the technology of the past. Is this logic sound?"

If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice

Ballet Folklorico Students Harassed By Neighbors Threatening ICE InΒ β€˜Hate Incident,’ Ald. Says Police are investigating the incident β€” caught on video β€” in which a woman yells and a man throws liquid on students and their families leaving the Avondale dance studio Friday.

The abusive, racist response of these neighbors to *a bunch of loud kids* is so disturbing because feels like everything that is wrong with this country in one 7-second video nutshell.

How to Talk to Someone Experiencing 'AI Psychosis' Mental health experts say identifying when someone is in need of help is the first step β€” and approaching them with careful compassion is the hardest, most essential part that follows.

What do you say to someone who believes their chatbot has unlocked the keys to the universe? I talked to mental health experts who are following the 'AI psychosis' issue closely to find out: www.404media.co/ai-psychosis...

My hairdresser and friend opened her business last week. Tonight it burned to the ground. This is devastating.

I’ve set up a fundraiser. If you haven’t done anything for international women’s day yet, here’s a chance to support a women-run business in need: www.paypal.com/pools/c/9nhn...

This is really heartbreaking. My heart goes out to everyone affected by the fire in Glasgow. You know the drill. Donate. Boost. Help however you can. Let’s help turn dreams that were burned to ash back into dreams that are coming true.

This is a major fire. If you're in or near Glasgow, please wear a respirator mask if you need to go near the fire. Keep an eye on the winds for the next week or so as well, as winds can blow ash & other particles pretty far. Stay safe!

There isn't. It actually makes more sense that we'd have multiple natural sleep cycles so it would be unlikely for the entire troop to be asleep at once. Also, once I accepted neurodiversity for processing/attention, neurodiversity for sleep makes sense too

I prefer Standard myself. I also think that the way society is built forces most people into unnatural sleep cycles regardless of what the clocks say

i just watched a video on this and i love it. every time i have tried to build something dependent on a platform rather than a protocol, i have regretted it. they always contort into something worse

IRC is a lot of fun. Some of the people I follow on social media are people I followed from the blogosphere, so maybe I should check to see which ones still have them. The internet can be fun again!

A man in Alabama is set to be executed this Thursday for a murder he did not commit.

Charles Burton was part of a group robbery in which one of his accomplices fatally shot a man in the back, unbeknownst to Burton who had already left the store.

PARTIALLY DEVOURED is more about Duane Jones - explaining him, chasing his genius, understanding why he disappeared - than anyone else.

Having Barnaby’s gorgeous, noble painting as the cover is a huge honor.

My own diagnosis has not happened. My mother sought a diagnosis for me, but back then they weren't diagnosing hyperverbal, hyperlexic, infodumping girls no matter how many meltdowns said girl was having

I told my child they were autistic as soon as I was given their diagnosis. We celebrated it. I had been preparing them for the possibility by talking about neurodivergence with them. They're an adult now with no shame about their supports & less masking than I have

Thing that really gets my goat is the way people are eager to fund this bullshit but you need eleven layers of analysis and a ton of collateral if you want to open a small grocery store in a food desert.
