Pretty sure there’s not much else I’d rather be doing.

Earl and Lola say hi.

Ugh. I hate it here. It’s soul crushing.

But when I look at these little faces, there’s a moment of peace. I mean, they’re cute af. And they hate fascists.

Today I’m feeling especially sad, so here’s a photo of Earl resting in the sun for those feeling the same.

(I keep swirling around, moving from sorrow to rage to loathe. The cycle is exhausting. At least if we know we’re in this together, it feels less lonely.)

One of my favorite artists, Nikkolas Smith, has a new book on the horizon. “The History of We” is about the origin and advancement of humans. It’s a picture book of canvas paintings.

Does anyone know how to completely disconnect the STARLINK connection in a Subaru?

There seems to be a hardware solution of disconnecting antennae. I’m wondering if there’s a software solution someone knows about.

My searches have returned nothing.

Our hearts may have brains:

“Scientists from the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden and Columbia University in the US have now uncovered a startling level of complexity among the neurons encasing the zebrafish’s heart, challenging existing theories on how the organ’s pulse is maintained in animals like ourselves…humans and zebrafish have surprisingly similar cardiovascular physiology.”

This thread. It’s heartbreaking but important.

It is our moral obligation to end this tyranny for our trans friends and youth. Do not give in, do not give up, do not let them win. Fight this with every ounce of energy you have.

I fucking hate fascists so much. Fuck every fascist everywhere. ✊🏻

Love the discussion. And, @iris, you’re a rockstar!

For everyone noting that a 1 needs to be carried. You’re right. I got it, for sure.

But this is one of those quick tips for math that won’t work for most folks. It assumes a base level of knowledge in math.

I guess I should have defined it as complicated instead of being wrong. That’s my point.

The sentiment of the tip is “look how easy this is.” But it’s only easy for people with existing math knowledge.

So I’m playing this game called Tumblewords. It’s a stimulating word game.

When you win a level they show these “cards” with what are supposed to be facts.

I’m now wondering if they’re using AI to generate them. Because many have been wrong. Like this one.

🤔

Y’all. @staringatclouds is a selfless rockstar of community.

They’re out here boosting everyone’s posts. Rarely ever posting their own stuff. Just being here to support others.

That’s the epitome of Mastodon. You don’t have to be loud and verbose like me. You can just be here and be friends with folks. I love that.

Thanks for feeding us lots of good stuff. 👏🏻

Does anyone have details about the 11-year-old boy who was being target by secret service?

He apparently posted an anti-Trump video and they came for him at school. The school told them to fuck off, and they did.

I’m curious about the following:

1. What was the video about?

2. Where did he post it?

Knowing this helps understand what we’re dealing with.

Are passkeys really better than passwords? And what happens when you no longer have access to the authentication device?

I keep reading up on this. But I find few answers. Is anyone willing to elaborate?
