Goodnight you ghouls and gremlins. Early start tomorrow to marshal The Big Half in London. I'm sure I won't regret having a massive load of double lentil curry, at 6am tomorrow morning trapped on a coach for several hours. 👍

@lowqualityfacts - Maybe a future tense?

So sad to hear rock n roll legend Craig Douglas has died. He will always
be 'Only Sixteen' in our memories.

@thomasfuchs That screenshot brought back memories.

Awesome! Thank you for the rapid assistance!

@chrisphin may I pet you and talk to your person about you?

Created this for a reply on LinkedIn, but it applies pretty generally, so posting it here, too:

So few screenshots of CDE on the web, it's sad.

This is what "professional" looked like for years.

Simply brilliant (from "The Volatile Mermaid" at Bluesky)

I'm trying to select a repository for future research projects (both tools and data), #postOSF. In the process I've made a visual summary of @lakens's great blog post (to the best of my understanding): https://daniellakens.blogspot.com/2026/08/which-data-repository-should-you-use.html

Interesting video from Sabine who was offered cash to read out anti-AI propaganda. She's looked into who is paying pro- and anti-AI social media influencers now that individual outrage determines what social media you hang out on. Man, this is getting messy even without real silicon overlords!

@Migueldeicaza Every time I hear about the bullshit DHH is involved in (bullshit with his company, bullshit in Rails, bullshit at Ruby Central, bullshit on his blog, bullshit with his bash script collection), I think about how therapy could have solved his problems at the root. It’s incredible the lengths a straight white man will go to to avoid therapy.

@ndevenish @michel_slm @mvsde @1password oh, maybe I can help. German historian here.

Nietzsche had used that phrase "Wille zur Macht" in books he published himself. Then a book by that title was a different thing. It was assembled after his death by his sister Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche, who cut up his notebooks and rearranged the scraps into a doctrine of strength over weakness.

Elisabeth was a big antisemite who founded a race-based colony in Paraguay. Her fabrication of Nietzsche is what the Nazis pushed. Scholars have treated the book as hers, and not his, ever since the Colli-Montinari edition of the 1960s.

DHH's post has none of the man, the thinker, and all of the sister's toxic bullshit: weak men, hard times, a hero generation, total war. That phrase with that reading has one source: Nazi Weimar where Elisabeth welcomed Hitler in 1934 to pose together with her brother's bust.

I'll write it up.

Guardian readers! How do they want to die or do they want to live forever? https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/picture/2026/sep/04/how-do-you-want-to-die-and-what-to-do-in-the-meantime

@mastodonmigration I am fortunate not to know any of those, because that takes some industrial-level denial.

the fact that i'm bewildered that an 84-yr-old lady reverend who peacefully and non confrontationally opposes genocide and the destruction of this planet is a terrorist

while hundreds of masked thugs dressed all in black who block a port for hours and chant racist slogans are protesters

is not just because i'm a commie weirdo, right? i mean surely other people see this as absurd* too?

*nowhere near enough of a word, but i think we're beyond the realms of any language adequate to describe all of this

Hello everyone. My sincerest apologies go out to those who thought I was going to do the stream last night. Unfortunately, a personal situation has occurred, preventing me from doing the stream. But don't worry. We're live now, and we're gonna have fun! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jiST3On4ZQ

Okay, so if Green Lanterns are selected as individuals who have a uniquely indomitable will and are fearless, why aren’t most human green lanterns trans???

Show me another set of humans whose wills are so strong they reject every social and legal pressure or threat, they declare and manifest themselves in the world, and even reshape their very bodies to match their will. Show me another group who has confronted their deepest, darkest, most hidden fear and then went and lived in and through it.
