       @stux @georgetakei  I suggest people take this at face value and start using “Fauci” as a Musk-specific pronoun.

       I've seen this dynamic: >A man stands atop a soap box in city park in Berlin in the 1930s.“The Jews and the bicycle riders will be the ruin of Germany,” he begins.A crowd gathers. The man continues his speech, repeating the refrain: “The Jews and the bicycle riders will be the ruin of Germany.” Finally someone in the crowd interrupts.“Wait a second,” the audience member asks, “why the bicycle riders?”“Aha!” the speaker replies, lighting up. “Why the Jews?”< https://chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/2023/2/9/23591710/antisemitism-trans-rights-lgbtq-desantis-putin-bigotry-republicans-florida-sanders-steinberg

       This seems bad. Like, private army bad. USMC vet charging them with battery bad. https://www.tampabay.com/news/florida-politics/2023/07/14/florida-state-guard-desantis-national-guard-training/ '“The program got hijacked and turned into something that we were trying to stay away from: a militia,” said Brian Newhouse, a retired 20-year Navy veteran who was chosen to lead one of the State Guard’s three divisions.'#Florida #DeSantis #Military

       @hn50 Gosh, Lanier is good at pinning creativity down. Or at explaining its unpinnability…..#oud #duduk #khaen #shakuhachi #guqin #gusheng #computer #music #ai

       @hotdogsladies I see little reason for you not to know this exists: https://mstdn.social/deck/@hn50@social.lansky.name/111135287697513465 Even if you don't click on the clickies it's all pretty... nice? For the internet, at least.

       @kissane @clive @tim In the magazine world, I also have noticed that the rise of "content" has correlated with a lack of differentiation between pretty different skillsets. Nowadays, I have freelance clients who expect me to be both a photographer and photo editor as well as a reporter, copy editor, and writer. I think what I'm saying is that the fungibility went way beyond software and into the corporate side of publishing.

       @hn50 #Hookland knows the spiritual beauty of the pylon. The transcendence of the hum.

       Buttons folks are wearing at #NewCollegeofFlorida  graduation this year. I hear stickers will be produced. Spread the word and the image, if you like.
