You know how people say that mushrooms are only the most visible part of a much larger and mostly invisible mycellium network?

This is a metaphor.

Uniforms like this are an indicator that when you look at the fascists wearing them, you're seeing the visible part of a much larger and mostly invisible network of logistics, support and money.

You should not trust people who wear uniforms. But you should certainly not trust those who provided them those uniforms.

@pallenberg Danke nochmal für den Hint. Hab das auch gerade gemacht!

@evan Political parties have yet to fully adjust to the new world of communication we live in.
Flaws and issues that in the past could go unnoticed or somehow be brushed off, today can instead and very quickly become major liabilities.
Proper vetting and adequate alternatives are a necessity in today's politics, much more so than in the past.

I'm going to say this again (in light of another university advising staff they are at risk of redundancy);

if the exposure of a growing number of the workforce of any other sector was reaching the level of universities, the media & politicians would be all over it, demanding action and the 'saving' of jobs.

With the university sector; not so much.... the Q. is how have we become a country that seems to care so little for a major socially & economically vital sector?

Disagree. To admit that they've become worse, I would have to have seen LLM output that wasn't complete garbage. Maybe you have seen such output? I haven't.

@sundogplanets Correct me if I'm wrong, but the satellite in question isn't made by SpaceX - it's made by City Labs. SpaceX is just delivering it to orbit. I feel like the headlines are trying to "rage bait" (is that the right phrase?) people into engagement (which still might not be a bad thing). Am I missing something?

I will be signing at The ARC festival this Sunday from 1-2pm at the @goshcomics.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy table. @arcfestivallondon.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy is an exciting, new, free comics festival in London on the 11th and 12th of July. Come along! www.arc-london.uk

@FlorianTischner vacation. Was at the Eurocon last weekend.

Well. There it is.

Flight school. Our young storks still do not dare leave their nest for the first time, but they've advanced to hovering.

The other two siblings have to keep their heads down because there is only one helipad and its also where everybody eats their food delivery and sleeps.

At least they've soon learnt how to poop over the side. Should really move the compost heap under there for all this free phosphorus.

Meanwhile the parents are either out collecting food or perching on a nearby chimney or hay bale.

We've gotten used to the *whomp* when they take off from or land on our chimney hood at night.

@jabgoe2089 Not to worry, we just diverted off the main line onto a local commuter line (to avoid whatever DB wackiness is causing half the ICE trains from Berlin to Nuremberg to be cancelled today). Now trundling past freight sidings …

@astronomerritt Yes! I saw the interview with Count Binface on BBC this morning and was impressed that he mentioned the Kuiper belt.
