Snack is displaying a few of my favourite things here: chin resting on paws; lying on own tail; fluffy rolls of rat.

@aral Remember when we thought search engines would use more all the electricity and water?Then it was social media. It’s not that the technology is unproblematic — glorified predictive text of dubious origin being wildly and widely misused to support a fantasist tech bubble — but there is a pattern here.

@aral or moral panics are recycled when they’re proven distractions.OpenAI’s Superalignment team was pushing AI as existential threat when distraction was needed from IP… complications…, labour abuses, and bias. Now that grounding is creating new issues like impersonation risk and exploit vulnerabilities, suddenly we’re supposed to be looking away at the water?It’s too convenient and too recurring.

My number 1 tip for neurodivergent households, especially those with kids and teens, is that anything practical should be stored in open tubs, boxes, and shelves where it can be seen and not fall down the memory hole.My number one tip for multi-cat households is that everything should be put away ASAP so it’s not covered in fur, vomit, or piss.My number one tip for neurodivergent multi-cat households with kids is to go back to bed.

This toot brought to you by my hand raised eldest child using the recycling box — out of the cupboard for the benefit of my human child — as a litter box.

@Blueteamsherpa @tsyum https://www.croptrust.org/work/svalbard-global-seed-vault/The US is working hard to be the kind of place the rest of the world won’t want to share with, though.

This morning I got a pre-election campaign call from a staffer at my federal MP’s office, wanting to know how I felt about the issues.He did ask 😈

My mother is in hospital, and not for the first time I am actively alarmed by the medical profession’s cavalier disregard of basic ethics and safety when their own biases and convenience are in play.You should not be discussing someone’s confidential medical situation with a family member without their formal consent.Do not assume lack of competence.Do not assume family are safe people.FFS.

Rewatching The Fugitive Kind — because Tennessee Williams and Marlon Brando — and it occurs to me that Trump’s odd vocal delivery likely started as an attempt to imitate Brando.He’s the right age…

This is something I’m not seeing talked about in relation to the US’ sudden enthusiasm for bringing #Iran to heel.People want Trump’s behaviour to be some kind of deranged outlier, but it’s always American business as usual. #WMD’s were a pretext for securing a resource — oil — and this is a pretext for securing a resource.Full article here:https://insidetelecom.com/iran-discovers-most-rare-minerals-in-the-world/

Child joined an online game party and aquired full permissions — then realised the host was homophobic. So she stuck around to be an absolute menace.This is 100% my offspring, very proud.

She also made herself a join code so that she could pop back in repeatedly after the host kicked her, so I’m giving her bonus points for forward planning. She seems to be wearing them down.
