Last call for my Etsy shop! Everything is 25% off. My shop will close tomorrow August 10 and I’m not sure when it will reopen. It’s your last call to grab these pins and more. If you miss out you can find them with my stockists in the future ultrainfiniteshop.etsy.com

The term "Luddite" as a pejorative synonym for "technophobe" was a technocrat PR coup; that's not what Luddites were about. They were a labour movement fighting to give workers control over technologies which were advancing w/o oversight and rapidly automating them out of their jobs. Sound familiar?

“yeah lou make it as orwellian as possible. that’s it!”

i used to feel guilty not being able to watch bangtan content asap or within the same day as things come out but i had to remind myself this is supposed to be fun and one of my favorite hobbies— there’s no need to pressure myself or follow a timeline & i just enjoy bangtan whenever i can 🥰

The food was good, but not fancy: grapes and russet apples, nuts and bilberries, hot muffins, soft barley bread, cheeses, and mint tea, with flagons of cordial for those who wanted it.

World Central Kitchen is on the ground in Spokane feeding folks displaced by the fires, so if you're looking for ways to help, here's a good option: donate.wck.org/campaign/829...

They said ICE is confining people with tuberculosis where they usually put problematic prisoners. Some are spitting up blood but not getting medical care. And the rest: "There is a flu in this place that never goes away because we are overcrowded 76 in a single cell..."

Leaked video from an ICE camp details people suffering from tuberculosis, a never ending “flu” & conjunctivitis. ICE enforcement is a mass disabling event. These are concentration camps. They’re a breeding ground for disease which will lead to preventable suffering, disability and death.

In previous world tours you were in danger of running into BTS if you frequented high-end hotels, clothing stores, or restaurants so you could hide accordingly, but during this one no park, museum, bowling alley, amusement park, gift shop, or gym chain is safe

I once called 911 while alone and stuck on the floor after a cardiac event. My heart rate had exceeded 200. I was terrified I would lose consciousness before help arrived The 911 dispatcher got me through it. Her kindness & compassion made me feel safe. She kept me calm AI can’t replicate that

New Orleans will use AI to answer 911 calls instead of a human

New Orleans is using AI to answer 911 calls instead of human dispatchers. What does this mean for crime and emergency response?

Rye bread, hot and crusty from the ovens, with honey or greengage preserves to spread on it. Chestnut flour pancakes, blackberry scones, and savory turnovers were passed to and fro among the beakers of strawberry juice and hot dandelion an' mint tea.

I TOOK MY 90 YEAR OLD NEIGHBOUR TO AN ANIME CONVENTION! Her first con ever!

Michelle Franklin│Legends and Lectures@michellefranklin.bsky.social · yesterday

My 90 year old neighbour's first convention! She opted for the Kiki cosplay. Think she's ready?

My parents-in-law met working in a cinema. My spouse and I met working in a theatre. That theatre used to be a cinema that his father (a projectionist) worked at sometimes. Dad showed me what used to be the projection booth, both of us peeking through the tiny windows as he told me stories.

Happy #FieldworkFriday! This week PNSN's field team conducted maintenance at seismic station REDMT on Red Mountain, where smoke from the wildfires in WA and OR filled the horizon. Though the fires have not impacted our network this year, our thoughts are with everyone affected.

Update 2:20 PM: This is now known as the #GrandPark2Fire, and has burned 200 acres. #wawx

#BREAKING: New fire burning north of Mt. Rainier (4 mi. north of Sunrise). It was reported at 1 PM today, and acreage is unknown. It is producing a large smoke plume as seen from satellite, radar, and the Crystal Mt. live cam. Stay tuned for updates. #wawx

7:20 AM Friday: Air quality is finally improving at the surface for Western WA! Most areas outside of the Cascade foothills of King, Pierce, and Snohomish Counties are back into the "Good" and "Moderate" categories, with further improvement throughout today! #wawx

"A man" And it's legend Jake who I originally followed because he makes consistent songs about Karoline Levitt and she sent him multiple cease and desists but he has a lawyer and has firmly said, "No" ~tonight~

Sam Altman matched with a man on Grindr, who posted the conversation. Open AI offered him money to take it down. He made a song instead.

As someone who grew up in a rural, agriculture-dependent environment I fully endorse this perspective, because it’s 💯% accurate.

A very serious Rural Politico once told me "Dems have to go to farmer meetings! We gotta be where the people are!" I was in fact in a farmer meeting at that very moment! So I live-texted him the meeting. They were complaining that they want indentured workers that they don't have to pay or feed.

Nobody freak out but the Seattle light rail just derailed across the track at the Chinatown International District station.

Surely there is some mistake! There's no way this tax applies to me, a retired diplomat who lives in Paris who spent millions of dollars renovating the 12 million dollar apartment I never intended to live in. There must be some mistake
