  • And yet it's teachers doing patrols for ICE around schools, teachers speaking at rallies, teachers getting fired for sticking to some notion of a sane curriculum.

    Remember to follow your teacher's union's recommendation next time you're voting for school board.

  • If you don't stop resisting my illegal violent takeover, I'll get more illegal and more violent!

  • How can we Fediverse that?

  • Fascinating (and chilling) article about the Reichsbank, thanks for including that.

  • Tell your favorite content creators to get over to Nebula. Or are there better options?

  • Ah, yep. Someone seems to have the full PDF. Beginning of Part The Second is it, rather more disturbing thematically than I remembered.

  • Which Neal Stephenson involved a DNA-based compute penal colony orgy? Hopefully that doesn't describe more than one.

  • I'd say rights come first. Especially if we can then turn around and slam ICE for infringing on said rights. "Defend to my death your right to say it" and all that.

  • Baked goods, coffee, and chocolate sounds as close to hope as one can buy.

  • Does that happen? I'm pretty impressed Google Photos can recognize photos of my kid from across many years (which also creeps me out).

  • Missing link? Or I'm just clicking badly (Boost/Android).

  • And a screen small enough that I can reach the whole thing with my thumb — I have very large hands (and pockets) and find my phone very awkward to hold.

    And no AI features.

  • I am annoyed by Christmas before Thanksgiving, but the change doesn't seem that egregious, just avoiding the case where it could be a week later than usual:

    in 1863, during the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln established the last Thursday of November as the official date for Thanksgiving to be celebrated each year. Following this tradition, every president thereafter declared a general day of Thanksgiving to be observed on the last Thursday in November. However, in 1939, during the Great Depression, November had five Thursdays, and the last one fell on November 30, which left little time for the Christmas shopping season. To address this concern, in August 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt decided to break from tradition and issued an executive order declaring that Thanksgiving would be celebrated on November 23 instead of November 30.

    Also it didn't work:

    A 1941 Commerce Department survey found no significant expansion of retail sales due to the change.

  • Article.

    Come on people, this is why you make cloud enabled devices that can still function offline. And why I will never buy a range with wifi (or at least never connect it if there's no dumb model available).
