The phrase "virtue signaling" rests on the unstated assumption that virtue is only an act. That everyone is a bigot underneath. Its entire purpose is self-justification. Performing virtue through acts that help is categorically different.

After seeing @eveshi.bsky.social post about lack of coverage of protests in indonesia this week (which I also missed), went looking for coverage here & saw this good piece from @ekawatikartika21.bsky.social "Journalism exists to bear witness. To document. To challenge" Worth a read.

Public rallies against the 🇮🇩 government policies from July 17 to July 24, on public streets, and there have only been sporadic posts on Twitter. Barely any coverage in national media. Daily posts and videos on Threads, at least.

Here's a take I don't see many people talking about. If you use AI slop in your commercial branding (cover, merch, copy texts, logo), it's clear to me you have zero respect for the business you're (trying to) build. AI slop cannot be copyrighted.

The Netherlands and the EU have so far refused to use their deep economic ties with Israel as leverage to stop Israel’s crimes of occupation, genocide and apartheid. These Files show that, far from sanctioning, the Netherlands is in fact facilitating the Israeli economy.

Brutal.
A WHOLE CIVILIZATION
WILL DIE TONIGHT
My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools.
Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's
"keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's
"we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight."
It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before.
"It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time.
A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead.

I don't remember seeing an image of Earth before that captures the (thin, fragile, tiny layer of) atmosphere so clearly. I mean, look at that.
Zooming in on the photo of Earth taken by astronauts on Artemis II on their way to the Moon, you can clearly see the Aurora Borealis and thin layer of atmosphere wrapping around the planet.Zooming in on the photo of Earth taken by astronauts on Artemis II, you can clearly see the thin layer of atmosphere wrapping around the entire planet.

So apparently there was a discussion about writers promoting their books too often? The other day, my editor said that writers should diligently promote their books, as opposed to posting once or twice on social media just to let people know they have a new book out.

It’s very telling how quickly the people who start “only using AI for…” whatever thing they thought they couldn’t do or afford, like art or music or plotting or reviews, or who wrongly thought AI could do that thing as well or better, move on to using it for pretty much everything.
