Someone added a shark plushie to Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead, making it, presumably, one of the first Blåhaj-enabled post-apocalyptic zombie-themed roguelikes.

I might also be misinterpreting this, the supreme court technically only said they haven't committed the specific crime they were charged with, perhaps this is just a case of pursuing incorrect charges?

What the heck am I reading? Apparently blatant political revenge on voters is legal in the US? Actually, I wonder in which countries that would be illegal, since it might be legal just because it's rare?

@aphyr I think it's reasonable to talk about the telos of a system especially one designed and managed by humans for explicit ends. Whether this rises to the level of "agency" in the system seems practically irrelevant, at most a shorthand; the important part is that our economic system plays a strong role in organizing the world around it, and is itself organized for that purpose.

My torrent is still very much alive and being seeded for those of you looking for a curated alternative to creepy/crappy YouTube videos for kids-

RT @RealSexyCyborg@twitter.com

Someone has found and seeded all the files on my list of Curated Children’s Educational Videos. It's approximately 400 hours of selected life and physical science documentary videos as an alternative to well...YouTube garbage.

I am doing "prior art" research to find out what are reliable and open constructions of sensors (and controlling/recording) platforms used in citizen monitoring of environment.

Due to recent events in Poland, priority topic is river monitoring: water temperature, pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, ORP (oxidation reduction potential), water level (sonar?).
Also, typical weather station sensors recommendations will be appreciated.

If you know about an active group dealing with river environment monitoring, please drop a link here – I will be happy to learn from them.

At this stage, I do not intend to start any deep R&D. I need to learn about good (best!) practices and appropriate hardware, so we can deploy a network of early warning checkpoints as soon and as cheaply as possible.

the answer, of course, is neither: OA, which pits individual authors against one another in a race to pay more to prestige journals, is much more profitable than trad publishing. We need to end for-profit publishing altogether and rebuild our communication and review systems.

"It’s a grim irony that, by insisting on a “feminism” without any trans women in it, TERFs have wound up constructing the tool by which fascists aim to destroy feminism altogether."

"TERFs’ insistence on “biological sex” as an immutable binary […] may make it easier to convince them of other biological hierarchies. Their insistence on seeing trans women as “violent men,” in particular, can be weaponized against men of colour and turned into overt white supremacy."
