@futurebird I've always wanted to live in a rook. Like Virginia Wolff suggested, it's helpful to have a rook of one's own.

@futurebird mainstream myrmecology believes that genetic advantage explains why non-reproductive individuals are willing to work hard for the benefit of the group. There are plenty of other ideologies that one could oppose onto an ant colony.The gender dynamics in ants are also often explained through very human stories

@peter Pacer, the US federal court system database, no longer works between about 10:00 a.m. and noon because it is being hit so hard by data mining robots. https://abovethelaw.com/2024/12/pacer-sucks-more-than-usual-and-we-know-exactly-who-to-blame/

It's that wonderful time of the year when those of us with English keyboards get to wish all our Spanish-speaking friends a happy new asshole

@futurebird @Beedazzled Crystal words!I've mostly seen them in trees. Always many on Randall's Island by the gardens. Interesting to learn why. They have weird behavior going in and out of their holes. Bump into one another a lot in flight.

@futurebird every living things has at least two emotions: Oh Shit! and Oh Yeah! You really can't communicate unless you understand that about those you are communicating with. And I've off the uncanny things about chat bots is their lack of emotional affect.

@interfluidity this is what they all do! This is why "state of emergency" declarations need a certain amount of control by other branches of government...sadly Congress is even less assertive here than in Venezuela.https://www.industrias.gob.ve/2025/04/asamblea-nacional-aprueba-decreto-de-emergencia-economica-un-paso-decisivo-para-blindar-los-sectores-productivos-del-pais/

@futurebird @lnlyisol it's the way I feel about automatic spell check and grammar check in everything. No, really, i want the word "i" in lower case. I live in Kwins and go to the Atlantick ocean. It's an intentional joke to say "too" rather than "to". The monoculturalization of language by machines always feels condescending in a very DunkinRuger (yes also a joke) way. The machine is just stupid enough to think it's smarter than you. So irritating.

@interfluidity among the many, many remarkable things about the book Careless People is the clear outline of how tech guys change over time. In the case of Zuck, being blamed for the US 2016 election was a turning point. These guys don't like to admit they have power, so of course they don't want to accept responsibility.

@zl2tod @pluralistic @wendynather the book is fantastic, and the author's independent, tough, idealistic perspective is very much informed by her Kiwi roots. As a Canadian, the American blindness to the world is very familiar to me.

Incredibly upsetting to get spam propaganda from Social Security. It really feels like Venezuela but with nuclear weapons.

Sounds like the next hearing in California is going to be interesting. US government had argued they absolutely HAD to have those troops in LA to deal with demonstrations. Now Trump is removing them for no reason except to spite another judge. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10/05/us/trump-news?unlocked_article_code=1.rE8.4b0X.hD77l4hRHZFF&smid=nytcore-android-share
