"“Netanyahu is a war criminal committing genocide against the Palestinian people. It is utterly disgraceful that leaders from both parties have invited him to address Congress. He should be arrested and sent to the International Criminal Court."

There are new transparent solar panels that convert only the frequencies of light that plants don't use and let the one they do use through, so you get electricity from your greenhouses!

The pink panels behind Farmer Dave visible in this video are prototypes he's trialing for, uh, UC Santa Cruz? I forget. He talks about them in another video, I'm looking for it...

Some kid put up signs at the coffee shop offering ukulele lessons and requesting tutoring in quantum physics. It's good to have a diverse set of skills.

SHOW ME THE THING I WAS ••JUST•• LOOKING AT

Here’s what parenting can look like.

When I told my dad I was trans, my dad’s response was, “Oh! I can send you jewelry now!” (He was retired and made jewelry as a hobby).

Two days latter, I had a letter in the mail addressed to Joelle, the first time “Joelle” ever got mail, with a necklace in it. Later he made me this one. He told me, “I hope I got the colors right, I looked it up online.”

You don’t have to mourn a child transitioning. You can be the first to do so many affirming things.

RIP John Mayall

For those of over 60 John Mayall was one of the ways we discovered the blues (and its interaction with Jazz) in the 1960s/70s.... a fabulous advocate for the blues whose (often) mixed-race bands were a lesson in recognising your influences.

“But LLMs are great for summarizing”

(No, they fundamentally fail.)

If you don't have

a fucking workforce pipeline

to teach people how to do the job

and if you never invest in their education

and expect them to find their own opportunities for this

while keeping workers constantly firefighting

then you will

never

ever

make up

a fucking qualified worker shortage.

I have been screaming this for a decade and founded a whole-ass fucking organization to -address- this -specific fucking issue-.

You utter fucking dipshits.

#Switzerland mandates #OpenSource software for all public software!

This makes perfect sense. Public software should be transparent. #India could have taken a lead on this, but our digital public infrastructure is mostly closed-source - with predictable consequences. 🙄

I'm getting sick of hearing about Biden as a weak president, or as an ineffective president.

One of the most important thing he did was appoint Deb Haaland as Secretary of the Interior.

She has transformed this department. Landmark conservation initiatives. A Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women unit. FINALLY. Initiatives to institutionalize consultation with Native nations. Decolonizing placenames. 1/

A massive discovery of over 2 billion tons of rare Earth minerals in the US could position the country as a new global leader in the rare Earth industry. These minerals are crucial for manufacturing electronics, renewable energy technologies, and various high-tech applications. This finding can reduce dependence on foreign sources and boost the domestic economy.
