Haven't had an MS exacerbation in something like 25 years, woke up dizzy, it's probably something else. Either way, an excellent reminder of how precious everything is that we do have.

Since everyone wants to know what I think about AI: They'll keep widening the gap they already established: AI that works better costs more. Cheap AI will get worse results, free AI will get whatever propagandists want to pump into your brain, and for A+ AI, you'll need to be a corporation or rich.
The sociopaths and opportunists surrounding him are certainly telling him all the things he wants to hear about his greatness and his grand successes, so it's not as though he's making up all the crap he posts on his own.

I hate ordering from Amazon instead of a small company, but artisanal was $38 vs AMZ $14—plus I don't actually need a beautiful maple warping peg, just two chunky little pieces of wood held to the edge of this cart so I can drill holes to hold these standoffs, mounting the ContinuuMini for open mic.
It's true fascism never lasts, but neither does anything else.
Raise your hand if you think hostile states, mega donors, data thieves, etc. only have dirt on Republicans, and winning the midterms will only deliver Democratic politicians who are pure of heart, mind, and deed.
This must be the third video of wonderful voices singing global scales I have seen, and each is mesmerising and has taught me things I didn't know. Such as: That these scales exist and how they, the bare backbone of tunes, reflect and unlock whole world regions' music. This is amazing.

Everyday-life writing tip: Whatever predictive text wants you to type, don't type that.
It's pointless confronting climate-change deniers with data. If they cared about anything but hooting like monkeys, they'd already know the data. See also: Republicans
I can't stand Ben Shapiro, but if you'd like to see him lose a bullshit argument with Neil de Grasse Tyson, here you go. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bR1m...

Suddenly, a 4-minute piece! The first one to start as live performance on ContinuuMini and Etches after I got the MoTU M6 so I could do that. Synth people: ikr! Everyone else: As you were.
I may be about to upgrade from MacOS Ventura 13.6.2 to Tahoe 26.6.1. To those who are about to die, I salute me.
And also, think of why we talk about blowback against black people like it’s the weather, a natural outcome, rather than the fact that it inherently exposes a default assumption that they are wrong ‘uns/stealing a living. Nothing troubling there, just think of the decent ones.
Musa Okwonga@okwonga.bsky.social · 6d agoFrom this review- “Think of all the diligent, decent black academics who have been lumbered with the embarrassment of having Arday as a figurehead” - no, think of *why* black academics are held collectively responsible in ways that white academics are not
Black Women are the backbone of Black Communities. Black Women voted 90+% for the Democratic Party. So it's no wonder that the unemployment and the current health disparities are directed towards them. You break them, you break their communities.
This is an absolute travesty. Northwestern has, probably, the 2nd best library collection for African History/Studies in the USA (behind Yale and ahead of MSU, UCLA, etc). A self-inflicted wound that is absolutely, 100% unnecessary given the massive wealth of Northwestern--north of $15 billion.

Mamdani: "If a New Yorker looks at what ICE is doing and wants to see more of it, they should vote for Bruce Blakeman, who has created his own militia in Nassau County. If they look at what ICE is doing and they are shocked by the inhumanity and cruelty, they should vote for Gov. Kathy Hochul."
She gets a reggae love song for her birthday. I hope she likes it, because it's all I got her…
Holy dignity! Ted Lasso S4E2 has a Singin' in the Rain reference! It's oblique, but it's there. It's the Gene Kelly line that gets cut off halfway at the end in this clip: www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5Jp...
