I love all the aurora photos but they also torment me because I live in Toronto aka the City of Extensive Light Pollution (plus we are just in the wrong location 😂)

had not understood before how directly the construction of the "arms race" which claims "AI" is a necessarily technology for warfare leads up to the deregulation of nuclear technology that will necessarily lead to accidents and radiation exposure, just as it did in the early cold war

I love this thread 😂 The last time I went to Ireland years ago for about a week or so, I had long bright green hair and I don't remember getting a single roasting comment, I'm wondering now if they all just thought I might be fae and best not mess around just in case 😂

I am calling upon the people of Ireland to immediately begin construction of a thread on this site about how you or someone you know was roasted for a fashion choice. We need it.

All roasts must have come from Irish people *only*. Please respect this important rule, it makes a difference.

So Safeway tried this "Superior Service with a Smile policy" like what Target is trying back in the 90s women employees were harassed so much some hid in the back trying to get away from male customers. Sometimes the dudes followed the employees to their car after their shifts.

Sounds super safe.
Safeway Clerks Say Service-With- Smile Rule Gives Some Wrong Idea Sep 3, 1998 Kim Curtis The AP MARTINEZ, Calif. - Safeway's "superior customer service" program requires all employees to smile, greet and make eye contact with every customer who walks in. Many customers say they shop at Safeway because they're treated well. "They always offer to help with my groceries. They know exactly where everything is," said Julianne George, a music teacher who shops at a Safeway in Martinez. "They're concerned that you have the best possible shopping experience." But that experience has turned into a nightmare for some workers at the Pleasanton, Calif.-based grocery store chain. But that experience has turned into a nightmare for some workers at the Pleasanton, Calif.-based grocery store chain. Richelle Roberts, a produce clerk at a Lafayette, Calif., store, said she's propositioned daily by men who mistake her company-mandated friendliness as flirtatiousness. "This never used to happen to me until I had to open the door," she said. "It just takes away our rights. A woman knows where and when not to open that door for certain men." A produce worker at a Pleasant Hill, Calif., store said she has hidden in a back room to avoid customers who have to repeatedly propositioned her and followed her to her car. Barbara Carpenter, president of United Food and Commercial Workers' Local 1179, said, "The union wants a non-hostile environment and `superior customer service,' as it stands today, jeopardizes the safety of our members."

Not a book per se and I don't remember the exact one but when I was around 14 a friend showed me an X-Files fanfic & it really blew my mind that there were people out there writing about existing characters and fictional worlds to explore what might happen or could happen, amazing thought exercises!

performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!

tell me about a book that changed you

for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

This is one of the things I hate most about modern capitalism. The idea of making money has been fully peeled away from delivering any kind of goods or services that people would want to pay money for.

Way too much press coverage of "AI" is spent debating the hypemerchants' claims of speed & efficiency & scale of impact, & not nearly enough is time spent on 2 very basic questions:

Are these systems outputs anything like correct? And, if & when they get things wrong, how much harm will that cause?

Baby pigeon mystery.
My pigeon book is here: www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/rosem...
A six-panel comic. In panel 1, text says "People often wonder, why don't I see baby pigeons? Here's where they're hiding:" and there's an egg with an arrow pointing to a question mark, then an arrow pointing to an adult pigeon. Panel 2 says "Pigeons don't nest in trees. They nest in sheltered spaces on or in buildings. This keeps their babies safe from weather and predators." There's a pigeon nesting in a sheltered cavity in the side of a building. Panel 3 says "The hidden babies look like this: like moldy potatoes, but cute" and there are two baby pigeons looking, well, like moldy pink and gray potatoes with yellow fuzz. Panel 4 says "Older baby pigeons hide in plain sight. When they leave the nest, they're adult-sized, but they're still young and learning" and a fledgling pigeon is flying out of a building saying "aaaaaa". Panel 5 says "Here's how to identify these young pigeons" and shows a fledgling pigeon with arrows pointing to these features: eyes may be gray-brown, pale-edged feathers, smaller "nose" (cere), subdued hues, and looks worried. Panel 6 says "Scientifically speaking, though, all pigeons are sweet babies" and there are three very cute round pigeons, a gray, white, and red one, with arrows pointing to them to make things look scientific.

I find that there’s usually a direct line between people who habitually post unattributed artwork and AI boosterism. Like, if they already act like images just appear out of the ether and have no provenance, they’re also very likely already openly hostile to artists.
