emacs users are a protected group under federal law and as such you cannot be mean to them

In 2020 somebody scrawled "PCR-Test = Idiotentest" onto this wall. They had added other anti-measure sentiments on the footpath but in chalk, so those are no longer there.

When you’re a fossil fuel company with:

- very high and growing decline rates on oil and gas that’s derived from tar sands and shales

- and/or conventional fields heading rapidly towards the end of their profitability, like the North Sea

CCS is a handy way to squeeze out as much oil and gas as possible, and pretend that none of this is a problem for a little longer.

That is its primary utility.
The rest is misdirection and obfuscation.

(Let me know if any of this is wrong)

Always nice to have options

First up: Socks!

No, stick with me here. Having really nice socks is a big deal for your target audience.

But each will prioritise different sorts of socks. You need to Know Your Middle Aged Man

Comfort: Bridgedale wool socks with padded soles.

Quirky: This can be big for men for whom novelty ties are a step too far. Try Art Socks https://shop.nationalgallery.ie/collections/art-socks

Luxury: Bright colours, very if you know you know, sock makers to the pope. https://meschaussettesrouges.com/en/collections/chaussettes-gammarelli

As @pluralistic says:
If someone threatens "You'd better do what I say or I'm going to burn your house down," and then they burn your house down, you don't have to keep doing what they wanted.

Isn't it funny that no-one at the BBC had to resign when they edited something Corbyn said to the point where they actually changed the entire meaning of what he said.

I wonder what the difference is?

Had a good time at the Manchester & Salford Anarchist Book Fair this past weekend. It was intriguing to attend a workshop on Tkoronto-based Kai Cheng Thom's work (not given by Kai Cheng Thom, but she was credited); as well as coming across a number of books based on Indigenous resistance and the Turtle Island context. Glad to see some of these ideas traveling to the UK.

@rysiek how do you do, fellow fediverse preacher?

I'm making a new film, a dark comedy set in a #solarpunk world where direct democracy thrives, no politicians, no central governments, where communities are self-sufficient and help each other to survive the climate crisis. But I need your support to imagine this future.

This film is the final step toward making a feature set in this world.

Etwas verstörende Personalstrategien, die zwei Führungspersonen innerhalb der Bibliotheksszene hier in aller Öffentlichkeit entwickeln: "Gescheites IT-Personal ist ja immer so teuer! Aber jetzt wird endlich freigesetzt, was wir bestenfalls gar nicht mehr brauchen!" Ein Affront, auch gegenüber der jeweils eigenen Belegschaft.

Much has been said about Musk's appalling social media posts. Joyce Carol Oates takes a moment to notice what he *doesn't* post.

Thinking idly about how in 40 years we’ve gone from “automatic clock-driven pet feeder indicates weirdo mad scientist” to “automatic clock-driven pet feeder is an impulse purchase while you’re shopping for other things” (at least to the middle class).

@redsys Also wir in #BadTuring machen ja schon lange Nägel mit Köpfen und haben unseren Bibliotheksdirektor als Erstes durch KI ersetzt. Auch wenn die Einsicht den Bibliotheksleitungen schwer fallen mag, erinnern wir bei unseren Beratungen gerne daran, dass man bei einer konsequenten KI-Strategie auch den Mut haben muss, eigene personelle Konsequenzen zu ziehen. Nur so lässt sich Innovation wirklich voran bringen und nur so können wir als Bibliotheken vor die Welle kommen! 🚀🚀🦾🦾
