World’s Largest Group of Chimps Waging Deadly ‘Civil War,’ Scientists Discover At least 24 chimpanzees have been killed in a war that has split the Ngogo group of wild chimpanzees in two, turning former kin into enemies.

I half-seriously kept waiting for social media to be identified as the culprit, but these chimp researchers actually have found the solution for polarized and divided humans: we just need a big slappy, run-around-shrieking, mutual grooming party. www.404media.co/worlds-large...

It's easiest to give them an actual US address (family/friend/reshipper) they can use. Then they'll "don't ask/don't tell" about residency.

Terry Godier has a new blog in addition to his main site of longer essays. It looks great. Hosted by Micro.blog. 🎉

One hopes something better is coming for authors... It's always bugged me how WP and so much of the web assumes single authorship with no room to expand what that even means. @terrygodier.bsky.social got me thinking about that again: github.com/tgodier/byline

In the spirit of Mierle Laderman Ukeles ("After the revolution, who's going to pick up the garbage on Monday morning?") and Stewart Brand ("When you take responsibility for something, you enter into a contract to take care of it"), let's support a future for the Open Web.

Thanks for promoting Sudo! It will be great to get some user feedback and see if it changes how people think about WordPress security plugins.

Illich is outstanding. His type of « counterfoil research » projects are needed again.

A Website To End All Websites | Henry From Online How to win the war for the soul of the internet, and build the Web We Want.

I talk often about breaking out of walled gardens, that you don't have to be on corporate-web in order to be on the web.

This is a fantastic article about the problem and how to (pretty easily) fight it. Well worth reading.

Also, @strange.website is a rad human being.

> So I started looking through Claude commits on GitHub, there’s over 2m of them and it’s about 5% of all open source code this month.

Their "more efficient" process than having writers write:

• AI identifies possible stories
• Reporters do further reporting and produce notes
• Another person uses AI to generate a story from the notes, then rewrites/"tweaks"
• Another person fact-checks/edits
• Reporter reviews

Always fun and informative! We got killed at Wordly by @michellefrechette.bsky.social too. I think she got more points than all of us combined.

Long-awaited from @stewartbrand.bsky.social 🛠️

"Shadow work" is a great concept, not just from Jung but also Ivan Illich, who used it to refer to a major source of Big Tech's Jungian shadow: requiring more and more free labour from the consumer. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_...

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

😀 Yes! That was mainly Vahe Arabian's (SODP) work. He does a great job. I enjoy reviewing and editing every year to watch the whole thing take shape and see what trends are emerging.

Good! Which statement? 😀

And the latest edition of the Web Almanac is out again! Always a pleasure to help out with the highly #WordPress -focused CMS chapter.

Where are the skeptics, agnostics, humanists, and atheists against the dehumanizing delusions of “the singularity,”Accelerationism, and mystified computer “science” converted into priestcraft? Running experiments on live human populations without consent and demanding zero regulation…
