Whenever I look for fabric shops, the engines still serve up JoAnns and I get sad.
Michael's said they would pick up the slack, but so far? NADA.

nice blog by @adapalmer considering "inventing the renaissance" as sff-ish writing, like its 1st-person pov, and that amazing "meanwhile in greenland" riff https://www.exurbe.com/how-is-inventing-the-renaissance-an-sff-related-work

@inquiline incredibly incredibly powerful. 😭 Frozen lake is such an especially poignant choice.
Or... You could use the real formulas, he said brattily.
@NuclearOatmeal I’m really good at remembering formulas and even I don’t care about remembering C=(F-32)/1.8
Let's use 83 degrees Fahrenheit as an example
Accurate formula:
(83-32)/1.8=~28
Approximate formula:
(83-30)/2=~27
A 1–2 degree tolerance is fine with me for the sake of simplicity.

DHS keeps making false claims about people. It's part of a broader pattern

Gameboy colour is 160x144.
Around that would be sufficient.
Posted about a beautiful vegetarian lunch with a dear friend. Because a mutual connection commented, a "Tech Bro" felt entitled to leave some unsolicited advice. I didn't argue. I didn't engage the Conflict Loop. I simply deleted.
As a pescatarian, I value food that grounds my system. I don't need external "Data" on how to eat or live from people who don't know me.
Unsolicited advice is actually a sign of low emotional hygiene. It shows a lack of System Awareness: the person is trying to override your experience to satisfy their own need for control.
Boundary Calibration: Deleting a comment is a high-value act of Self-Respect.
Energy Filtering: You don't owe anyone your Circuitry just because they are connected to a mutual on a professional networking platform.
It is also absolutely ok to block if people are disrespectful. It is Silent Power: A hard block is the best firewall against entitlement.
I’m keep my digital space as clean and grounded as that mushroom pizza!

I've never had so many friends and neighbours asking me to teach them how to shoot. Little do they know, I'm gonna be overwhelmingly teaching them meticulous firearms safety in between soapboxing about how real safety comes from community.
But I suppose I'm cheaper than a shooting instructor so it's still worth it for them lmao
@jonny this is so fucking funny.
Of course someone had to have a mirror universe bot to go in and screw everyone (if it’s actually a bot).
@dotsie definitely a bot, and also definitely a bot farm - it's the most highly upvoted account on the site so

Plusieurs de mes élèves de 3e ont demandé à ChatGPT quelle orientation ils devaient envisager. Ils ont scanné leurs bulletins et ont demandé ce que l'IA en pensait.
À ceux qui ont plus de 14/20 de moyenne générale, ChatGPT a conseillé de postuler en CAP. À ceux qui ont moins, le logiciel a conseillé de se déscolariser.
À une élève qui demandait comment devenir assistante dentaire, l'IA a carrément inventé une filière de bac pro inexistante.
Voilà à peu près où nous en sommes sur les vertus de l'IA en matière scolaire.

In a press conference, US Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said some of the redactions from the files released today included images of death, physical abuse or injury, which, given what else is in there, is pretty suggestive of the scope of this thing

A friend pointed out last night that WinRAR is more profitable than OpenAI and I can't stop thinking about it.
@ChrisMayLA6 The current Labour administration is paving the path for this. People have been arrested and charged and convicted for holding a meeting discussing possible protest. The courts and judges can refuse to hear the defence case, and forbid the accused or their barristers from telling the court what and why their planned an action. People are charged and described as ‘terrorist’ for holding a sign with certain words in public…..

Do you think Sir Stammer is indistinguishable from John Major, or do you think that's unfair to Major?

Like, it could not be clearer that Epstein was a pimp for billionaires with a wide menu of options for his customers - none of that is legal, none of that is "okay" even if the women being trafficked are in their early 20's, all of that is the kinda shit you can blackmail rich people for; a thing we know Epstein was doing.
So I dunno where anyone is getting the idea that it doesn't count unless you've got pics of them raping a 10 year old. That smells like pro-elite pedo propaganda to me.
