I keep thinking about this post I saw from someone saying they would rather that more people die from cancer than that computational approaches be used for cancer research

the splintering of reality is unbelievable around this.

at least they picked a honest logo
for all that is worth

@Sempf no easy or simple answer, but i think common sense generally applies within the context that we have at any given time. in this case, it's showing scale of an incident. ask why this matters, and who would benefit (or lose) from this information, if any at all. but you're right to be skeptical because our trust relationships can change over time.

In my opinion the most elegant watch in the world is rectangular - the reversible Cartier Tank Basculante.

Just something indefinably graceful and well made. Bit pricey though!!

Dolly Parton and then Tim Curry back to back?

Fucksake. Any queer folk or theater kids should just get the week off at this point.

(Still though, both posted solid high scores, 80 ain't bad)

Noooooooooo

Sad news today, but a powerful reminder of People Doing Good Things™:

"In the early 90’s Dolly promised every 7th-grade and 8th-grade student she would personally give them $500 if they graduated from high school. This effort, called the Buddy Program, reduced the drop out rate for these two classes from 35% to 6%. More importantly, the program catalyzed the community to provide additional resources to sustain this improvement in the drop out rate."

We are often concerned (rightly) about those that spread hate, but kindness also spreads and has incredible long term impacts on our world. Let's concern ourselves with doing more of that :-)

@davidgerard Topic suggest: WSJ says writing with AI without disclosure is just fine.

@Marloezovic @hrifeu

Vanmorgen suggereerde de mailupdate van @thefirewall dit ook al.

Nu nog de stap maken om het gewoon ergens in Nederland te hosten en DigiD onafhankelijk van #appdwang te houden.

@jblsmith - That's a solid hack. Huh.
