But… all the feral hogs… what if they have body armor? Squad tactics?

*slams money on the table* WOLVERINE + CYCLOPS OMNIBUS

*jazz hands* TAXONOMY!

Big ups for the jonsbo cases, I just built out something similar in an n5

kaz i am FURIOUS for you

By the late eighties and early nineties, christian fundamentalists had learned that insisting on lockstep adherence to their norms was a losing strategy; they deliberately, consciously pivoted to this approach because they perceived “diversity” as a weakness to exploit.

My dream: make it visible from space

Yep. I think the rise of those conversations and their actual impact on planning has been one of the more encouraging developments for me of late; at the very least, more encouraging than the ‘24ish vibe alternatives.

An important but nerdy exercise, I think, would be an attempt at a relatively distinct taxonomy of “social media era” group actions; stuff like dogpiling and brigading is distinct from cancellation, for example. A nuanced take is good, but it also requires tackling the haziness of the language used

…rather than a dependency

Yeah, it’s funny because it’s the same story from data entry gigs I got in the mid 90s all the way to giant orgs now. I think one thing that is starting to make execs I’ve talked to sit up and pause is the exploding “token budget” for projects that treat data quality as a problem for ai to *solve*…

A co-worker on an “ai” project outlined their plan: the first phase would consist of pure manual performance of the proposed work over a stretch of time, with careful mapping and documenting of all the complexities encountered. Will the automation work? Maybe! But that is a much smarter START…

In somewhat happy news, the slow work to build a compelling story around “this is the ‘eat your vegetables moment for org data quality” for the company seems to be bearing fruit. At the very least there’s way more willingness up and down the org chart to stop and think.

For a wider overview of what’s been happening in the realm of personal data collection and state surveillance this year, you can view our whole Data Security timeline here (and now you can filter it by legal case!):

There’s a reason “trail mix” and “cobbler” are *two different recipes*

zwolves, on the other hand, require at least three wolves of the same size but can scale to support very large redundant wolf arrays

it’s gonna be SO GOOD

I grew up Evangelical, “the pope is the antichrist actually” feels like Hits Of The 70s shit

Really good sports writing is about teasing compelling human narratives out of what could otherwise be a numbers game.
