You cannot make appeasing these people your entire political project.

DNC partnering with the Lincoln Project to promote Angie Craig sure is a thing that just happened in my email inbox

We've published some exciting archives-related articles this year and would like to accept more submissions like these, but we need your help!

Please share this call for volunteers to serve on the editorial board with your #archives colleagues

"Even when disabled people appear in the archive, they appear as objects of intervention rather than witnesses to their own lives. When disability materials are [viewed] according to the medical model, the archive reproduces the very framework that justified confinement and cure" #CripLib

there was the commissioning and then canceling of that Pride collection by queer and trans artists, then there was the DEI rollback, now it’s AI-driven false arrests. Target is setting land-speed records for torching customer goodwill, given how high their popularity and how far they had to fall

Oh this looks super helpful, thank you!

If it is there, it is hidden in a place I could not find

Anyone have a go-to explainer of how LLMs use probabalistic reasoning?

Everything I'm finding aimed at a general audience is hype and nonsense, everything I'm finding with nuance is too technical for general readers

It is ALSO worth noting that the Nazi-era law making homosexuality illegal - Paragraph 175 - was upheld by the West German courts in 1957, and was not formally repealed until 1994. LGBT victims of the holocaust were shut out of reparations efforts and not granted compensation until 2017.

We're rightfully critical of taxes being spent on war and genocides instead of the safety net.

But since 9/11, defense spending is largely funded through debt, not increased taxes. Here's more about the costs of war.

I remember predicting this on Twitter ages ago, where someone promptly accused me of being some kind of eco-doomster predicting the demise of all technology within the decade.

I don't know how they have managed to make it such an awful experience! I assume it is the result of many design-by-committee meetings

Everytime I go to order something from Michaels online I end up rage-quitting because all their damn pop-ups make it such a frustrating experience

To paraphrase James Baldwin, the belief in the goodness is the whole problem.

In Brief: This article presents some findings from a study of non-Māori librarian engagement with Māori knowledge. I asked non-Māori librarians (who predominantly identified as New Zealand European, a local synonym for White) about their journeys of learning and engagement, and Māori librarians about their experiences with their non-Māori colleagues’ engagement (or lack thereof). A key theme was fear on the part of non-Māori librarians. This acted as a barrier to engagement for non-Māori participants and created extra work for Māori librarians who were expected to pick up tasks related to Māori people and culture that their non-Māori colleagues declined to undertake. I suggest that when it comes to Māori knowledge, non-Māori librarians need to feel the fear and persevere, as well as being proactive to act as good allies to their Māori colleagues.

Yeah, my parents have had a supplemental garden basically my whole life and even safe, low-maintenance things like tomatoes, squash, and herbs can be so unpredictable that I think they only keep doing it because my mom enjoys hobby gardening

Also just a heads up that food growing/sustainability youtube is like 80% MAHA so ... good luck with your explorations, if you decide to go down this path.

I have decided to grow my own herbs but they are ok for indoor container gardens so long as I keep them out of reach of cats. But I'm doing that for fun and freshness, I don't expect it to save me much if any money.

I mean as a supplemental food source, sure it has potential, especially if you are thinking in the long term.

If you have disposable income and like spending time with plants, you might have a good time with it.

But growing food to the scale you would need to support a family? That is hard.

You may come out even... after a couple of years, with the weather gods in your favor.

I keep seeing people say everyone should start growing their own food in response to rising food prices and dude wtf?

Unless you already have land (expensive), farming/gardening supplies (expensive), time, and interest in growing plants, you are not going to come out ahead on this

I sometimes have a hard time distinguishing between humans who are just really weird and bots

"Yes to concentration camps, but not in my backyard" is a surprisingly popular sentiment. But we should not be surprised because this is also true of state prisons. Indeed many of the CA victories over prison construction came from alliances between overpoliced city dwellers and rural NIMBYs

We built a communications system intended to be so redundant it could survive a nuclear war and now it struggles anytime there's a rainy day at an Amazon server farm.

Children's MN has resumed gender care treatments!!! I'm so relieved that their dangerous pause is over, and I hope they can find ways to address the harm they've caused and the trust they've lost!

If Democrats succeed in cutting taxes, they will finish the job the Republicans have started to eviscerate local funding for basic necessities like maintaining roads and parks.

Twin Cities school districts are ending the short-term virtual learning options many opened for students during the surge of federal agents in Minnesota.

Districts say many children are returning with trauma and an ongoing need for support. Others have simply dropped out.
