Fair point. Although in SWANA I've encountered a lot of fish monger cats, butcher cats and even vegetable-stand cats so idk if they care too much for self-restraint.
This sounds like a conspiracy the cats came up with to trick humans into getting them places they can chill, but thanks for clarifying.
What is the definitional difference between a Deli and a Bodega, and does the cats know? 🐈 😻 🐈⬛️ 😺 🐱 😸
Monday airport run later in the day than usual is a pleasant change of phase.
Speaking to a class halfway around the world about how to make positive change in their communities is a fantastic way to start the week!
Getting to do this is a privilege.

He's not wrong tho, we did laugh a year ago too...
Really loving that the world thoroughly demonstrated how dependent we are on shipping lanes like the Strait of Hormuz, which are often controlled by less-than-stable regimes - I'm sure that will never come up again...
Newsrooms should not block the Internet Archive. Any public service publisher should not block the Internet Archive. If anything, we should all be directly supporting the Internet Archive.
That might be an issue on indigenous land, and when it comes to required electricity & commd infrastructure, which might affect natural resources that local communities and historic ways of life depend on. It will have to get figured out politically w. Respect for rights & dignity, not just capital.
My prediction for upcoming elections in Europe is that they're going to have to be a lot more focused on data centers - including their impact on energy & water policy, employment, where they're built, national security and digital sovereignty.
It's also defacto law here that you need to have a smartphone to access BankID wich is the 2fa tool used by all banking and public services - literally can't book a dentist appointment without it...or collect mail...
The way in which mass/public communication moved to facebook/X was somewhat similar in some places - my HS required me to have FB, public services in Norway/Sweden moved a lot of messaging to the platforms...not really feeling that pressure on AI here yet...
Interesting- I'm not on TikTok, but what makes a song fake? And are the fake people gen-AI or otherwise faked?
Or is music getting better, and we're getting older, and music discovery systems getting AI-slopified and thus we may be less well equipped to find the good music and need to consciously develop our processes of discovery and curation to find the good music?
A nationwide warrant has been issued in the first criminal charges against an ICE agent for on-duty actions during the enforcement surge in Minnesota.

I read this as "they elected a 5th grader rather than an old MAGAer "
I had to Google it today - been living here for 10 years, and hear it a lot, so feel a bit embarrassed my sort of just filtered it as a filler word 😳
Ok, so in Sweden, I quite often run into Swedes using the word Ungefär, often used sort of as a filler-word, but meaning circa/approximately - however, to my Norwegian ears it sounds a lot like Ingefær, meaning the plant/root ginger... Swedes be weird, man...
