It’s really fun to be a historian. We are fun at parties. We will absolutely not ruin your traditions by explaining the history of them.

Me: Yeah, the flame is ancient but the relay itself was invented by Hitler to connect Ancient Greece to Germany for the Berlin Olympics

The new book by @naomikritzer.bsky.social sounds like it's going to be a gut punch.
She's one of the handful of authors I would trust to handle this topic well.

It is so sad that young people are telling us that conversations are what matter to them
And that SHOULD be the basis of all “esafety” work. But it isn’t.
Instead of conversation as the best way to protect youth, we have bans that won’t work.
Conversation is better than any parental control

Ran across a thread where the replies were all claiming naming the Creature *anything* is disrespectful to Mary Shelley because him being nameless in the book is important and it's like...yes, it is important in the book. But the book is tragic. He's alone forever. That's good story but sad.

I've talked a bit about social media debates regarding Guillermo del Toro's Creature but the one thing I'm still baffled by is the person who said if Victor had killed Harlander on purpose, it wouldn't have been murder but mercy, because Harlander was terminally ill (and trying to survive btw).

First day of physical therapy. I could only do 3 minutes before my legs started to give. Our current goal is 3 minutes 3 times a day without getting the wobbles. We're estimating that will take a couple weeks. Relearning to walk bites. Hopefully I'm less wobbly tomorrow.

Keep in mind that I already know that a big UBI voice has advocated significantly reducing actual people's actual already-inadequate SSI were UBI to be implemented.
I keep thinking about this comment about it making sense to cut back SSI if people are getting UBI.
But SSI is already far below what people actually need to get by. Even with UBI of $2200/mo, that's still far below what is needed monthly to get by in Indiana ($4155).

So the thing is:
a. there are people who genuinely enjoy tasks and fields the majority of people find tedious or gross or just want to avoid and don't need to be coerced into doing them.
b. UBI should provide for treats and travel and hobbies because otherwise it's still just coercion.

Always grinds my gears when people say "No one would work drudge jobs if there was a UBI"
But even staying completely capitalist, I disagree. If I received a baseline living-wage UBI, and then I was offered REWARDS for drudge jobs, I'd take it! I want to save up for treats and travel and hobbies!

It would be extremely cool if a bunch of people called payment processors over Black Friday weekend to ask why they're telling people what they can and can't buy with their own money. This holiday season, give the gift of calling payment processors over Black Friday weekend
Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.
