I am on one of the... only six?? C'mon people. If you can, and you value mastodon.energy, please pitch in. Remember: Nothing is free. If you want to enjoy social media that is not corporate-owned and profit-driven, you should step up.

This weaving shuttle is a late-1800s tuberculosis vector, kept in the Textile Museum of Borås. Many textile workers caught the disease, and English employers found a correlation with a certain type of loom. You were supposed to get the yarn out of that […] [Original post on archaeo.social]

@waltbaldwin does a great job of running Mastodon.energy. This is a top quality site and just like the work of @chrisnelder , is worth paying actual money for. If you’re a regular, please chip in. It’s a small amount and the value is disproportionately great.

“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath 50 reasons for more walkable streets.

I have resigned from my toxic workplace, had the best nights sleep in weeks, and feel very happy. As a high performer accustomed to taking responsibility and working collaboratively, I was utterly miserable in an authoritarian management culture. Anyway, I'm thrilled to report it's all over now!

Thank you @pluralistic for explaining so succinctly why billionaires are so rabidly enthusiastic about AI. It just occurred to me that (in modern parlance), “work” = something that makes billionaires richer. If it doesn’t do that, it’s not really work, is it? /s 😛 From: @pluralistic […]

My most evergreen post.

Them: "why didn't you warn us?"
Everyone: "we did"
Them: "why didn't you warn us louder?"
Everyone: "WE DID"
Them: "Well you should've warned us in a way that got through to us. This is definitely on you"

I am here, but I'm also on Bluesky. A year ago, the two platforms were quite comparable, in terms of the conversation. But now, I can see the quality of Bluesky visibly declining. There, daily, I am followed by fake or "broadcast only" accounts. I see any number of posts that are algorithmic in […]

every branch of right-wing pseudo-intellectualism is named something like "super-rational objective humanist altruism" and then you look at what they believe and it's some variant of "corporations should legally be able to murder kids"

Did I hallucinate it, or is there a pre-fame video somewhere of #totp #PetShopBoys doing West End Girls with a *completely* different image in Depeche Mode-style leather jackets & stuff? I'm sure I've seen it, but it's not on YouTube 🤷‍♂️
