evangelicals like to yell at people about hell and make unverifiable promises about divine love to woo followers. This act does more than anything like that to make a faith attractive to me. (I have no plans to become a Catholic. Just observing this is far more winsome than what I was raised on.)

Putting myself out there a bit. Honest request from an open-source developer: Can I please ask you to encourage people you know to stop with the "any updates on this?" discussion post? Every post like that genuinely makes me die inside a little bit. I'll try to explain in this thread. 1/

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

It might be a small thing, but I’m grateful to @cataldomusto.bsky.social and the rest of the Italian delegation for giving us a rousing rendition of Bella Ciao last night at the UMAP post-banquet karaoke and dance party.

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? Whether or not you are charged and punished for a crime is more about who you are than what you did. Most of the ppl that cause the most harm are not in prison. They have always been among us.

What is common knowledge in your field but shocks outsiders? I’m not sure it’s “shocks” so much as “disinfo”, but university professor isn’t a low-stress, high-pay job where you can spend your whole summer farting around the countryside.

I’ve been thinking about stuff like this a lot lately. There is a world where AI tools are developed that are really useful. But those aren’t the tools we’re getting.
