I know it's an easy laugh but reminder that we don't need to make fun of Elon Musk's physical appearance, and that doing so reinforces all kinds of negative stereotypes about bodies and their relation to people's worth. We have many better reasons to find him repugnant than what he looks like.

A teen on Reddit was lamenting about the state of the world and options for the future. My response only got 16 views - did it even reach the OP? - but I feel so strongly about it I'll repost it here. I hope this finds anyone who needs to hear it.
Reddit post in r/economy entitled "Im in highschool... i dont see a future" with the text: "It may not happen but I believe in that the economy will crash with everything going on. What are the possible outcomes of this? Is there light at the end kf [sic] the tunnel?"Answer to the previous post from "TheFargo". It reads:
"Hello friend! It’s understandable to feel this way. Our media environment doesn’t help; things that are shocking or upsetting are promoted in our social media feeds because terror drives “engagement.” To be sure, we’re in a period of transition - political things are happening that I never thought I’d see in my lifetime. A “realignment” is happening across everything, from politics to work. Something old is dying and something new is being born. That is ALWAYS scary. But as others have pointed out, realignments happen every few generations. Whenever things change, there’s an opportunity to change them for the better. And in the long arc of history, things HAVE been getting better.

My advice would be to focus not on the dying of the old but the birth of the new. Your generation will shape the world to come. Don’t let your worldview be defined by an engagement algorithm; look to your neighbors and friends, build real communities, solve problems, learn to use the new tools at your disposal, and never stop fighting for a better world. These are scary times… but also the most amazing time to be alive. Be strong, and draw strength from your community. We’re going to get through this, and if we do it right, the world will be far better than the one you were born into."

This includes BIRTH CONTROL, by the way. As well as a shitload of mood stabilizers. Do NOT eat "spooky" black foods and snacks. Just don't.

The older I get the more I realize class action lawsuits are a scam. The lawyers get 15-30% of the settlement, but each individual claimant gets like fifteen bucks on a visa gift card. The company gets a slap on the wrist it can easily afford and goes right back to doing shady stuff. Pointless.

I guess it says good things about me and the people I call friends that I have never once been invited to have sex with a drugged, comatose woman. (or anything even remotely close to such a horrific thing)

I root for the Red Sox till they're out, but it'd be neat to see an N/A team or the Guardians win one. The Brewers have been really good for the last couple of years. Their fans certainly deserve it.

l've been a SA advocate for decades:
NEVER go to campus resources for a SA. Call a rape care hotline/program (off campus), get a SA advocate (they're free), go to a SART hospital for care (and evidence collection if you choose).
They activate the police. Schools have NO business in this process and will minimize and bury it. It's a criminal matter, not an administrative matter.
Period. No exceptions.

I mostly don't care about film award results but Samuel L Jackson not winning an Oscar for Pulp Fiction, all due respect to Martin Landau, remains one of the most baffling things ever.

If the Elon Musk documentary makes it to France, I'm going to buy a ticket. I probably won't actually see it because I can't stand looking at that repugnant lying grifter Nazi's face, and I don't need any further confirmation that he's awful, but I want the film itself to succeed.

If Meta made a laptop I don’t think anyone would buy it, like you’d just sort of assume it was mining your data constantly, and I think every basic problem of theirs can be extrapolated from that.

I want to these in Paris so badly. They're cool looking, they're solarpunk as hell, and they store way more carbon than trees do. They shouldn't replace trees, of course, as those have many other benefits ... but they should absolutely replace standard benches and bus stops. liquid3.rs
It's a liquid tree! A solar-powered tank full of algae that also doubles as a bench. The algae captures carbon as it grows and is then collected on a regular basis and used as fertilizer (among other things), putting the carbon back into the ground instead of in the atmosphere. It's right at home on a street in Serbia, between several mature trees.

I really love tech conferences and I hope they don't go away just because everything is AI now! While I know AI has changed coding forever, there's still a lot of important stuff to learn, and a lot of interesting things we can do that don't rely on us just prompting the machines.

So, I think this piece (Pastel, 1995, senior year high school) is perhaps my magnum opus. I present: Grover in Space.
It's a pastel drawing of Grover, from Sesame Street. He is VAST - dwarfing two separate planets. He floats through a black void peppered with white, yellow, and red glowing dots (stars). One of the planets is mostly cut off in the lower left (Grover's hand is behind it) but looks like a purple and pink gas giant. Grover is reaching out toward another, smaller planet. It is earth-like, with water, clouds, and land-masses, but has a tight pink ring around it. Grover looks very happy, but the overall composition is kind of menacing. In the bottom right is a "CB95" signature.

Every single industry is now run by sociopathic MBAs who have absolutely no interest in or understanding of that industry, and I'm just so tired of it. Everything is just pump, strip, declare bankruptcy, move on. Zero interest in functional companies with happy customers anymore. It's exhausting.

Hello Alicante and thank you for the very acceptable hotel room view!
A view from a hotel room. There is a small balcony with two chairs and a table. Beyond that is a vast blue pool with a ton of deck chairs. Beyond that are a couple of small native gardens. Beyond those is the vast blue sea, with a slight pink tinge to the sky where it meets the water because the sun is beginning to set (out of view)
