TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Pointing out that something is incorrect definitely isn't sufficient - the *culture* of "it is bad to make incorrect statements, good to promptly and clearly retract and apologize for them, and disqualifying to keep making them deliberately" is the framework needed for fact-checking to plug into.

We’re leaning into our www.transanta.com fundraising this year with a series of four fragrances inspired by the tradition of goths getting their photos taken with Santa.

My shelves are overflowing with books. My closet can't fit any more clothes, most of which I haven't worn in years. My attic is filled to the brim.

Not using a product I never wanted or asked for & have no personal use for that is currently being desperately crowbarred into products & services I do rely on & annoyingly pushed by creepy tech bros does not make me an “unhinged ascetic”. I have no obligation to make any product part of my life.
