Does not inspire confidence in the data security service when tech podcasters voice their data security ads with, “I googled myself and my data is everywhere, that’s why I use [service].” Yeah, sounds like it is working great! Probably an intentional warning and they are just taking the ad $$.

“Ammonia emissions, which can harm a person’s ability to breathe, are more than three times higher when emitted from manure that has been through a digester compared to manure that is directed into storage lagoons or sprayed on fields, according to a new study.” There’s no reforming CAFOs, folks.

Sometimes during slow motion tag, my child throws a pillow at my feet to trip me (allowed in out house rules) while I am at the top of the stairs and I have to fall down the stairs in slow motion. This is how it ends. It’s not my favorite part of the game.

I don’t know folks but between this kind of stuff, all the ag greenwashing and the performativity of the event, what is actually the point of NY Climate Week? Full disclosure: I’ve never been and do not plan to ever go. Also I haven’t flown once this year as far as I remember. I hardly eat beef.

If you are going to call yourself a leader: -Did the people you lead choose you as a leader? -Do they have a safe and viable way to depose you? -Are they motivated to please you because you have power to grant or deny things they need? You may be a boss, not a leader.

“Costs rose faster than test scores largely because our rights-based obligations expanded, and intentionally expanded to include children who require more from school than what they may produce on a scorecard, not because schools became less efficient.”

Inflation is a brutal regressive tax. Poverty is a hole with crumbling and slippery sides. Every percentage point of inflation makes that hole deeper.

Divine and evil beings definitely and truly exist as enduring metaphorical representatives of real experiences that people do have and which inform how people act in the world. Whether or not they are "real" in some simplistic rationalist sense doesn't matter as much as what real effects they have.

My mother lived alone in a cabin in a very rural area for years. She threw scraps out the front door for animals to eat. Now I go out onto my porch and there is bits of food scraps on the porch she has thrown out there. Tonight it was cheese.

One of the most annoying things about this war is that for my whole adult life every time the subject of war with Iran came up the point was made that the US military was against a war with Iran because every time they gamed it out it went very badly for the USA.

Supremacist reasoning doesn’t make sense if you are not a supremacist. People operating from opposite root beliefs often cannot understand each other. You have to get right to the root and destroy it before you can make progress. Jewish supremacy and White supremacy are both rooted in hate and fear.

Kid had dental work with laughing gas and watched Into the Spider Verse on the ceiling tv while dental tools whirred and splattered in their mouth. I wasn’t expecting to witness my kids first psychedelic experience, nor at such a young age. Very wide eyed for the rest of the day.

There is an antiquarian bias in Quakerism that seeks to legitimize current practices and revelations by connecting them to past practices and revelations. If you are going to do that, you gotta go all the way and also see how racist/classist colonialism/capitalism still pervades Quakerism.

I used to work at a private boarding school where every space that adults had to spend time in was air conditioned, but the dorms had no A/C. All staff housing had A/C. I called it air conditioning apartheid. The whole world is like that. People in charge take care of themselves first. Gross!

I asked a clanker to produce a 10,000 character random string of letters weighted with the same letter frequency as English and it literally cannot do it. It tried, but devolved to repeating the string TRSETINSETEOITRS. I said "that is not random". It said "sorry, LLMs can't actually do that."

The right way to store a fridge that is not in use is with the plug end holding the doors open slightly. This makes clear it is off and lets air circulate. Or you can be a demon and just turn it off but leave it plugged in and closed to breed unspeakable horrors.

“People are people. People’s motives and actions are often complex and imperfect.” Or “Innocent until proven guilty.” This is good. “Believe all [people in this group] by default when they say they have been harmed.” Or “Guilty until proven innocent.” This is bad.

Add bad spelling and bad grammar to your secret codes. Use low frequency letters in the place of high frequency letters. The decoded message only has to be readable to a human. The fewer spelling and grammar norms it follows, the harder it is for some clanker to decode.
