The entire “Bluesky is dying” discourse can be boiled down to “someone asked me to use alt text and now I’m wondering whether the nazis had a point”

The problem isn't the fact that something is ambiguous. The problem is that most people are afraid of failure. Being wrong or failing isn't as detrimental as people seem to think it is, tho. It just means you're trying something new, & you don't have any useful experience to help with that.

It's a discussion about social inequality within each society, not a direct comparison between empires. Although, I kinda wish they'd included the Kushan Empire-Sasanian Empire (Himalayas / South Asia), who were geographically between the Romans & the Han, & the Aksumite Empire (Africa) as well. 🤔

Oh, the things that so many women - & their doctors - don't really talk about.... This is the first I've heard of behavioral changes, tho. Pretty sure that hasn't affected me. But then, my symptoms have been pretty light compared to others, from what I understand.

New data finds Americans are more likely to support labor unions over Big Business than at any time in the past 60 years. We are witnessing a historic rebirth of worker power. If you want a better life for you and your children, join or support a union.

It won't make that impression upon Trump, tho. Instead, he'll be incredibly jealous. He really wants royalty to see him as one of them. Or, at least, to be buddies with him. It won't even occur to him that this shows that Canada is a sovereign nation - not unless someone else points it out to him.

it's a coup against the Constitution. A way you can tell that it's that is that the first things they seized were GSA, the treasury's payments system and the US Marshalls service (the door keys, paychecks and building security, respectively, for federal facilities)

Worth noting that Shaw, who spent 8 of the past 9 seasons working with John Tortorella, will be working for Sheldon Keefe. Keefe on Tortorella: "My time spent with John Tortorella in the Tampa Bay organization really set the foundation for me as a coach. I learned a tremendous amount from him."

I had a really hard time understanding this story but the bottom line seems to be that the Pentagon and White House are full of incompetent bozos who may or may not be using illegal NSA wiretaps on each other and may or may not be lying about it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I know the blows keep coming but I truly do not understand why PhRMA did not whip against RFK Jr.'s nomination — they put absolutely no pressure on Senate Republicans. They spent ~$32M in 2024 that level of money buys them... nothing?

So glad that I don't have to go into the office this week, & maybe also next week. They're replacing the carpet in my part of the building, so we'd just be in the way. Regardless, at least I don't have to wake up any earlier just to go do work someplace else that I can do just as easily from home.

"You're a shoo-in." We ‘shoo away’ animals when we want them to leave. Around 1900, if a racehorse was allowed to win easily, it was said to have been "shooed in.” The expression more than likely developed from the idea of the horse being ‘shooed’ across the finish line.

“Am I alone in thinking, by the way, that it doesn’t add to the status of the University to have an ape on the faculty?” “Yes,” said Ridcully flatly. “You are. We’ve got the only librarian who can rip off your arm with his leg. People respect that.” - Terry Pratchett, Interesting Times

It's also a misunderstanding of what the grants are for. It's not a billion dollar donation, Harvard won the grants to do specific research that it is in a relatively unique position to do. Trade schools aren't going to be able to take over, eg, Harvard's cancer immunotherapy research.

Just want to focus on this bit where you would think the lesson you would take from reading it would be to support the trans community because it is a continuation of the long history of the Quakers being correct about things but to solve that conundrum someone just goes “no. It is the opposite”
