Youtube thinks that I should go from "American Girl" to "Angry Johnny" by Poe and you know what?
Yeah sure. Let's do that...

Good piece on use of AI LLM code generation. Identifies the areas of concern, but is somewhat optimistic about the ability of a skilled engineer to successfully integrate AI into their work if, and it is a big if, they are very careful.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said he would not give up on working with U.S. President Donald Trump, despite a spat between the leaders over the war in Iran, and sought to downplay any tensions. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/05/04/world/germany-merz-working-with-trump/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #us #donaldtrump #germany #friedrichmerz #iran

I don't think my cats have ever even applied for a job. They have no ambition.
@lowqualityfacts local cat does a lot of surveillance, demanding and complaining. That's middle management level stuff
@Lstn2urmama4 Fair point… but I suspect anyone who is buying a pair of these knows that they are “Meta glasses”.
But… since other companies are developing them, there is probably a need for thinking more like a category - “no smart glasses” or something like that.

@AnarchoNinaWrites no, he just has a way with music use in his movies similar to your Cream comment
@ThriftstoreBarbie lol, fair. I kinda forgot about that part lol. My bad I totally misunderstood you.
In the year 2019, a scholarly paper misspelled the names of the Fediverse software —
Mastodon, Pixelfed, and Pleroma
As —
Mastadon, PixelFred, Plemora
This is the paper:
"Peer-to-Peer based Social Networks: A Comprehensive Survey"

@Gargron move to Alsace. Still speak German but get better wine.
@dianshuo Speaking German is neither a requirement nor a plus for me!

You can get killed doing a lotta things in America, at any moment. You don't realize it but both of you did a TON of shit that coulda ended your life as a teen. We can't expect young people to behave like 50 year old adults with mortgages and skin in the game.
The best you can do is teach them what to do when the rent-a-pig is yelling "stop" and trust that, statistically speaking, the kids will be alright.
@AnarchoNinaWrites oh I know I did a lot of stuff that could get me killed as a teen
Oh now YouTube is playing "American Girl."
Man, Tom Petty had no business being this fucking good.
@ThriftstoreBarbie I don't get the reference but if you mean "low key become a fascist" uh, no.
@AnarchoNinaWrites no, he just has a way with music use in his movies similar to your Cream comment

YouTube has started restricting most of our recent videos. They can still be viewed by turning off "Restricted Mode," but this is only possible to do if you have control of your computer. I.e. people accessing our content from the library, schools, and other public institutions may no longer have the ability to do so. 🫤
Restricted videos include last week's conversation with Jarrod Shanahan and Eman Abdelhadi, a recent panel discussion on disability representation in YA, conversations on supermax prisons, science history, attacks on trans people, New Orleans, Rojava, and more.
Why now? An event in April with Tomas Rothaus and @crimethinc attracted significant far Right attention, and these restrictions are likely the result of a concerted, bad-faith effort to remove our content. Many of the impacted videos feature authors published by @pmpress and AK Press.
Our bookstore will challenge these restrictions, but it's felt for a while that the writing is on the wall for liberatory projects on corporate platforms. We've already moved to reduce our dependence on Google and Meta elsewhere. No doubt this will nudge us further towards independent spaces. (- L)
@firestorm Oh, that is frustrating! I will ensure your videos are unrestricted at my schools. Hoping others in education are able to do the same. @crimethinc @pmpress
