hey #apple? you are almost to your final release of IOS 27, and yet, I am still having the issue where trying to turn my screen on, voiceover does absolutely nothing, no sounds, no nothing. just a very small vibrate. I have to activate siri, and then press the side button to make siri go away, and then I get my lock screen with voiceover working. this shouldn't be broken like this!

Question: Do there exist specialist psychologists who work with people with early onset dementia?
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is more seasoned as a banker than a politician but has shown a confident touch in standing up to U.S. President Donald Trump and navigating a trade war that threatens his nation. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/08/26/world/politics/mark-carney-central-banker-no-trump/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #markcarney #canada #us #donaldtrump #republicans #trade #tariffs

The United States is taking aim at Canada once again, with a crushing new set of tariffs.
Ultimately, government will need to solve this. But in the same way Canadians are avoiding US alcohol, produce, and other goods, they should get off US tech products too.
Luckily, I have a guide for that.

We've been getting a lot of questions about how the Internet Archive digitizes books.
The short answer: page by page, by hand.
You may remember our viral 2021 video of Eliza Zhang scanning a book. That's still how we do it.
Meet Eliza, and learn how we scan books: https://blog.archive.org/2021/02/09/meet-eliza-zhang-book-scanner-and-viral-video-star/

I cannot stress enough what a boon Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is. Free books, delivered directly to the door of people with babies and young children. Such a treat for us to give our boy a new experience like that every month for years.
In fourth grade he tested at reading at a seventh grade level. A lot of things got him there, and the Imagination Library was definitely one of them.
I dunno folks, it's just... like I don't like Americana? I know way too much about America to love us. I'm sorry, it's just not possible anymore. So if your selling point as an artist is "I do Americana" I'm just prolly not interested. I don't do Bruce Springsteen and John Cougar Mellencamp for the very same reasons.
I genuinely kinda hate us, so songs that celebrate us just don't hit the same for me.
What I can say is that I'm always sad for music fans who lose an artist they love. I get that. And I think that's what's important in these moments. But I mean the music itself? Sorry that's a dealbreaker. I just ain't into it.
@jaredwhite @davetron5000 @nileane I have so many things I want to write lol. Primarily 1) the aforementioned post, 2) something that is essentially “I can’t take you seriously if you are pro-AI,” and 3) a software license similar to do no harm license but expanded to prohibit a variety of current things, such as obvious bad actors, and also less obvious bad actors (ie you’re a member of an org whose major public facing people are bad actors. You can probably guess who
Forming a spontaneous crew with other ebikes, scooters, motorcycles, etc. In thick LA rush hour traffic taps into some deep pack/herd/shoaling instinct. Like we are just out here splitting lanes and being magnificent together, hitting the pothole jumps, flipping off the cybertrucks. It makes you sad when one of your pack has to turn off and go away. I remember the bike highway in Eugene which had bike rush hour, makes you feel alive in a big school of people surging over the road instead of trapped in a box hell with only yourself.
Breaking like a liquid over the cars who think they are getting ahead in their cars by being aggressive and jutting halfway between lanes. Fools. That's not how you get ahead. You get ahead by being a liquid and dripping through the cracks. Not by being a solid and trying to shove your way through a pile of solids.

A study on non-binary people had 38% of people respond that they are AMAB. If you don't notice any, that just says something about the communities you are a part of.

This is one of the most beautiful songs ever performed by the King and Queen of Country Music. Dolly and Kenny had the gift of making people feel.

@EdCates @AnarchoNinaWrites Wait, so #RobotChicken coined it like forever ago with the Humping Robot whose name we never learned, which is most definitely "Clanker"?
@AmyZenunim As a doornail, it appears. They got a cease and desist from X today. XCancel was sent the same.
Oh shit. This is a bummer.
