@futurebird IDK what you were going for, mood-wise, etc., but I find this powerful and beautiful. I fully love it. IMO this is solidly good poetry.

Oh, to have the smooth, sonorous #voice of this person from Teotihuacán, the floating breath of these creatures from the Lower Pecos petroglyphs, or the powerful harmonies of these other Lower Pecos petroglyph folks.Edit: Here's the article these images are from. Fascinating and beautiful to me. #archaeology #paleontology #art #painting #mesoamerica #mexico #texas

@hn50 I love it because it's awesome and also because "chafa" is a fun word in Spanish (at least Mexican Spanish; IDK about other regions)

@davidrevoy Pretty sure they know they're alienating their core users, hoping to get a larger group of less privacy-savvy users.

@futurebird I'm old enough to remember when the usual suspects were really really mad about adultery. That is an actual commandment of the Ten variety. It features prominently in many clear-as-day Bible passages without claiming knowledge of ancient Aramaic, antidiluvian cultures, or kabbalah to tease it out of the text.I think they gave up that crusade after the 20,000th church or political leader got caught. For one thing, the moral shame campaign was clearly not working. For another, I suspect it became clear they risked alienating their base by attacking a behavior clearly practiced by a significant percentage of the faithful. I think that is why those kinds of churches turned most of their vitriol on lgbtqia+ folks. Scapegoating is much easier and more popular when the target group is small, has no real political or social power, and can be visibly distinguished from the "decent folks".

@futurebird @mikemccaffrey This specific comment came across my feed with no context, and because I know something about your posts I felt I needed to investigate, not just ignore another foot-fetish post.

@futurebird Growing up LDS, this is something I heard a lot (probably extra because my mother and older sisters were ubiquitous while my dad was gone a lot). I won't say the LDS church has anything like gender equality or equity, but this, at least, was better messaging than I've seen in some other places. Women were (I hope still are) encouraged to pursue their own education, for the reasons you cite. It was strange and disappointing to eventually find out that some conservative subcultures actively discourage women having education and autonomy.

@futurebird Not for biblical-interpretation reasons (more just the culture), but when I taught university in south Texas I knew of many female students who had significant conflict with their families because they chose to go to college. A few had been flat-out disowned. Some implied they had endured physical abuse because of this. That's just one subculture in the US, but it has made me realize this attitude is not extremely rare.

@hn50 it's been fun for the past 25 years to watch greenwald vacillate between low-key cheerleading for the fascists and giving incisive criticisms of the fascist state. This seems to be the latter.

@strypey Years ago a little phrase entered my head and it's never left. It is maybe a tiny bit hyperbolic, but it gets the point across: "Tedium is torture."@rl_dane @Zumbador @actuallyautistic

@foone Probably not an option (b/c Chromebook), but I use Signal for this all the time: copy-paste from my PC into "note to self" contact on Signal, then retrieve it from Signal on my phone.

@eirias @futurebird He's also very good at making money and consolidating power. I think he gets many things out of this war he's been trying to start for years. One of the biggest ones is that he gets emergency powers to do things he's been blocked from doing so far.

@futurebird Well, now I'm going to try to figure out which XKCD comic you mean, but if I find it I promise I won't post it.And I will join this religion.

@futurebird This is adorable! Because I ran into this a few years ago and honestly still play it for my own entertainment, sometimes. I cannot vouch for its entomological accuracy.(Caspar Babypants - The Stump Hotel)

@Mikal @futurebird I love Banks, but my god, the horrific violence in books about nonviolence has sometimes made me want to stop reading.

@futurebird @Mikal I still love his books and have huge respect for him as an author and as an evangelist for a better world. There are sections of his books I won't read again, though.

@futurebird We had ants in our kitchen for a few years, coming in through a wall. My brother-in-law thinks he eliminated their nests under the siding or something whatever. I'm pretty sure it's because I finally started telling them you'd be disappointed in their behavior.

Right now, yes, I think biological systems like the incredibly complex way DNA (and other genetic code) interacts with hyper-local and other environments to produce biological stuff is beyond the reach of genAI.However, I'm sure there are hundreds or thousands of biological researchers using AI or slightly simpler machine learning algorithms to solve tough problems--these tools can sometimes spot (and other times just use, without telling us how) patterns that humans can't. I like this post and think it's accurate so far--with my painfully limited, layperson's understanding of biology--but a year ago the experts said #AI would never generate good code, and now it generates useful code in lots of areas. It won't stop getting better, and I don't think we're near any plateaus in its improvement. The main reason to oppose AI isn't because it sucks.#biology #code #resist #meme #dna
