This idea of craft can be increasingly important as AI replaces much of human labor. As a tailor friend put it: it's the difference between a hand painted Mona Lisa and a computer copy. Even if others can't tell the difference, some people may value the handmade version bc it represents human skill.

I'm so tired of being ashamed, embarrassed, and disappointed. And so very, very angry.

I'm once more reminded of this timeless quote from Christopher Clark's book on the 1848 Revolutions in Europe
"...a pervasive fear of the lower orders also paralysed the revolution in its later stages, making it easier to play different interests off against each other, to woo liberals into the arms of the established authorities, and to isolate radicals as enemies of the social order."
Never changes huh?

This Pride month, don’t forget about the trans and gnc activists who made this happen. People like Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P Johnson, whose leadership at Stonewall has now been stricken from all government websites by a Trump administration that wants us erased from history.

@chanda.bsky.social I see now why you've gone to watch Sinners a double-digit number of times in theaters. Partner and I finally had a night to go see it and HOLY FUCK. Even apart from having *so much* going on, probably the best theater movie I've seen since Fury Road

I will never not be fascinated by neutrinos and their weird little particle fuckery.
"The latest KATRIN result, based on a quarter of the data that the experiment will ultimately collect, still provides only an upper bound on the neutrino mass. But that bound has been slashed nearly in half, from 0.8 eV in the previous analysis,1 released three years ago, to 0.45 eV." 🧪
Kinematic measurements are closing in on the neutrino mass
The lightest massive particles are clear evidence of physics beyond the standard model. But the masses and their implications remain to be understood.

The real problem is that capitalism has created such deep inequalities that it requires ever-escalating brute force to impose them on people.
Until we achieve real social change, we are only going to see more violence. Legitimizing capitalism means justifying murder.

That said, I do think it's helpful to pay attention to some things. Lots of men have narrow shoulders and wide hips, as you can see on Gavin Mcinnes.

It is so god damn frustrating that the only reason anyone *really* gets to do science in the USA is to support the American capitalist, imperialist project.

Rubin #CommissioningNotes ✍️: we’re one month into on-sky testing with the LSST Camera!
The letter of the week was “c”: calibrations, computing, commissioning, and sCattered light investigations.
(Yes, we stretched that last one—but the science is solid!) 🔭🧪

NEW: Archived tweets for Gavin Kriger, Musk's 20-something DOGE employee wreaking havoc inside USAID, shows that Kriger has retweeted multiple neo-Nazis including Nick Fuentes, leader of the so-called Groyper movement, and another popular explicit Nazi account recently unmasked by @travisbrown.dev
Gavin Kliger, Elon's DOGE hitler youth shutting down USAID, is now indirectly responsible for the deaths of thousands of children. His Instagram appears to be @gkliger. He's scrubbing his online footprint.
Here's an archived copy of Kliger's resume: web.archive.org/web/20240418...
