When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

To put this in perspective chestnut trees used to be dominant species in the United States. Billions of trees were killed by fungal blight and now fully grown America chestnuts are functionally extinct. There is no getting them back. Ever. All for a data center. www.gadgetreview.com/one-of-ameri...

He said this at the time, as did many, and it remains a bald-faced lie. Not a matter of opinion. It's just completely untrue as an objective factual matter. Civil marriage laws don't work like that and never have. Just like the legality of divorce and remarriage doesn't affect the Catholic Church.

So like I said in the post earlier, I basically decided to take the framework I cobbled together in CSS using old code I’d used for an abandoned mastodon instance, and figure if I’m going to do it, I may as well do it WELL. Reworked aspects of just about everything, and I still have a lot to go.

Mae Dean@maegodhavemercy.com

I decided I was a grown-ass adult human being with too much time on her hands and not enough sense to know a waste of time when she saw it, and said to myself “hey, an LCARS Bluesky overlay would be cool as fuck.” And it is. But it also takes SO MUCH EFFORT for the tiniest goddamn thing.

Eye popping. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft. Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1

sadly there is no republican saying the same. not a single one, and why? what do they have to fear? oh... that's got more to do with lack of outreach IMHO. honestly, it's real hard to want to invite someome to anything when they think you're a demon and will not be reasoned with.

The best cure for ideological bias is find someone on the other side and go to lunch with them.⁣ ⁣ Sometimes we disagree about facts. Sometimes we disagree about values. Figuring out which is which is fun part. https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/my-libertarian-friends-were-right

Every sea otter deserves a second chance! In 2025, we opened our Sea Otter Conservation Center. Thanks to donor support, this state-of-the-art facility features two new holding tanks and two exam rooms, allowing us to provide critical care to more southern sea otters in need.
