HOW TO BLUESKY: The news is rough out there, plus the US election is coming. So here are some ways to tame your timeline so you see what you want. 1) You can mute words and phrases! Go to Settings, then Moderation and Content Filters, then Muted Words and Tags. Mute for a short time or forever

Sort of insane fact about how broken US urban planning is—America now spends more building *just the lights for roads and highways* than on all subways & ground mass transit combined Spending on roadway *pavement* is 18x transit spending

a very common phenomenon is people rejecting the conclusions of propaganda, but accepting the premises. you can passionately disagree about how the trans problem should be handled, and it will still keep you from asking "what do you mean, 'trans problem?'"

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Control of ship lost/hijack – hostage situation
In the event of a ship hijacking and holding the crew
the following principles serve as guidelines:
DO:
Ÿ Remain calm: maintain self-control.
Ÿ Be respectful: be humble,
respectful to captors and do not get
involved or affected by prejudice-
based treatment.
Ÿ Look out for colleagues: ensure the
well-being of colleagues.
Ÿ Stay together: stay together as a
team where possible.
Ÿ Accept leadership: accept the
new leadership and maintain the
hierarchy of rank.
Ÿ Communication: try to establish normal
communication with the captors.
Ÿ Hygiene: maintain personal hygiene.
Ÿ Conserve resources: save water
and essentials.
Ÿ Stay positive: many people are
working to release you.
Ÿ Be patient: maintain routines,
including spiritual needs.
Ÿ Regular breathing: keep your
breathing regular to help stay calm.
Ÿ Mental activity: meditate or keep
mentally active.
Ÿ Respect religion: respect your
religion, colleagues’, and captors’.
DON’T:
Ÿ Offer resistance.
Ÿ Argue with captors or colleagues.
Ÿ Take photographs.
Ÿ Hide valuables.
Ÿ React emotionally.
Ÿ Take drugs or alcohol.
Ÿ Bargain for personal privileges.
Actions on boarding by activists
Activists have a history of conducting well planned
and executed boardings on vessels and offshore
platforms. Such boardings are generally peaceful and
aimed at gaining media attention – often by attaching
banners and filming the event. These actions are
commonly supported by a mothership, which may
also record the activity and deploy UAVs (drones).
It is essential that crews are properly briefed,
trained, and regularly practise their response
procedures as such boarding incidents have
potential to produce numerous safety incidents.
On platforms, protestors typically move to a high
point in the structure to make removal more difficult.

This essay stirred up intense feelings, not all of which I can talk about in public right now, but... yeah. This is a thing. And it's hard to talk about, because it lends itself to a superficial reading of "you're not really disabled, get a job," but much of the essay is about exactly this problem.
