Hello (Again) World. I appear to have successfully jumped off one airplane onto another and am now @carlmalamud.

This is a certified verified account. I yam who I yam. It's official.

Well this is interesting:

"The vast majority of adults with an ADHD nervous system are not overtly hyperactive. They are hyperactive internally.

Those with the condition don’t have a shortage of attention. They pay too much attention to everything.

Most people with unmedicated ADHD have four or five things going on in their minds at once.

The hallmark of the ADHD nervous system is not attention deficit, but inconsistent attention."

Layoffs:
- don't save money
- don't improve company performance
- don't increase stock pricess
- destroy trust
- have huge impacts on health, well-being, and income of employees

So why do layoffs? It's a network effect: execs lay people off because other companies are doing it

Too many choices! #CatsOfMastodon

#Introduction I'm a former public defender and data scientist who runs a #LegalTech #innovation lab focused on #A2J @ Suffolk University Law School in Boston, USA. See https://suffolklitlab.org/

Much of my work focuses on data standards, NLP/AI, document automation, and increasing access to justice. I also write speculative legal fiction.

Before the #law I taught high school physics & astronomy. I like playing with LEGO and Rubik's Cubes, and on weekends my 9yo & I go on adventures in Minecraft.

Ok, this explanation is great as to what "DMs" are on Mastodon. OK.

So, the fatal flaw is to call them DMs. Because they are not. They are "mention-only visibility" posts. Only people mentioned in the post can see it. That is not a DM, and it is not a Group Chat either.

From Autostraddle, "Navigating Play Parties as an #Immunocompromised #Disabled #Kinkster ": "I knew they taught about safety and risk awareness in #BDSM culture. And I made an assumption. I assumed that this wellness ethic would carry through in their #COVID safety. I wanted to believe that, even though I knew it wasn’t likely. I was wrong."

Even vanilla #CovidCautious folks may relate to this piece in some ways.

Pure, shameless trash. This guy was going after everyone like he was a saint, while he was ripping off his own union. Doesn’t get much lower than that. All these “Back the Blue” guys are most likely to “Backstab the Blue” in the end. What a fake.

As dogs get older, sometimes they can develop odd growths on their skin. These are quite often harmless, but it’s always a good idea to get them checked out by your vet.

Fine I'll do an #intro since it'll have shit worth posting beyond my profile.

Dark greetings everyone ;( I've had several fedi iterations but kvlt.zone is home. Here for music/media talk (https://kvlt.zone/about/more), chill shitposting, chill people. Block-happy but accepting follow requests from people who don't seem creepy/fashy/tankie/too online (not that those are equally bad, I just don't want any). May follow you if something hooks me!

No pronouns.

#introduction

I'm a half-man, half-goat-demon creature skulking around the woods of Massachusetts. Sometimes I make things like digital art, leathercrafts, graphite sketches, little sculptures, and sometimes I paint minis. I love earthy nature stuff, dead stuff, and being a chill Satanist/pagan. I watch movies and TV and have opinions on them. I repair computers to survive under capitalism. I'm queer and married to @wicche, we have three cats that I post about a lot. My beard is a foot long.

Stop worrying about what other people think.

I mean, have you seen other people?🤷🏻‍♂️
