I think my fundamental beef with crypto-maximalists is that their guiding principle is, in practice, "look how many new things we can add Money to", whereas my personal mission is to expand the set of things that can be done without involving money at all

Because deep down they know that an ebike is only truly usable in cities/neighborhoods that have invested in bike infrastructure, and that means Coastal Elites 🙃

This is our newest foster kitten, Bones (named after Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan). Please understand that my feed is about to become nothing except how adorable this kitten is.

An unbelievably adorable tiny tortoiseshell kitten sits on a notebook with a number two pencil for scale. The pencil is longer than the kitten.

Post this at anyone who says words can't be violence: "... an announcement of the final stages of our decades-long passage into the Information Age, a paradigm shift that the classic liberal firewall between word and deed (itself a product of the ... Enlightenment) is not likely to survive intact."

because nobody seems to know how to message things for normal people, let me take a stab: when apple buys ads on twitter, they are funding actual nazis.

It's the pinnacle of libertarian "you are what you own" shitheelism that the devs, high on their "usernames are domain names" supply, thought it was more important to block names that look like phishing than names that contain actual abuse

Ah yeah. The bsky devs do have the ability to trace invite trees, and have mentioned vague plans to use invite trees to inform trust scores, but I'm not aware of any instance in which they've been used for a moderation decision so far.

It's saying that it mutes them, but doesn't *block* them (it's using the words "account" and "user" interchangeably, the key difference between the two clauses is "mute" vs "block").

Cops in San Francisco attacked a group of children at an annual skate event today using riot gear causing a mass panic. Completely unprovoked, cops kettled, beat, and fired munitions at the teens. 50-60 were trapped by cops w/o food, water, or medical for hours from the afternoon past midnight.

final garlic harvest of the season now the whole store room is so goddamn pungent it's wonderful

Ten heads of garlic laying on the raised bed they were harvested from. They are so freaking huge. Like each one is the size of my fist. There's a trowel for scale and it is so tiny!

The same heads of garlic, bundled and hanging from the ceiling of my basement storage room.
