You ever watch the system.log file on an ? It’s hilarious. Shoutout to the developer(s) who added all the sass:

ThrottleInterval set to zero. You're not that important. Ignoring.
The TimeOut key is no longer respected. It never did anything anyway.
This service is defined to be constantly running and is inherently inefficient.
This key does not do anything: OnDemand
Service has increased maximum shutdown time to 65 seconds. This will create a poor experience for the user.

“I will have to continue to follow X, of course, because it’s part of my job. But it’s time to step back as an engaged user, one who for the past decade has posted several times a day and scrolled countless times more. My eyeballs are no longer for sale to Musk and whatever grotesque content he wants to serve up in front of them.”

Happy Spooktober! Nice park welcoming display I saw recently. 🎃 💀

Oh shit. Sarah got into the sauce again. I asked Barrett to keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn’t get sick or trip and hurt herself on a bulkhead.

I’d like to introduce you to my space pet, Rocky. We go everywhere together. Best member of my crew.

Picked him up from an asteroid shelter and we became instant pals. He’s my touchstone. Really keeps me grounded. I ❤️ Rocky.

It is not a "political belief" to think people should be able to love and have sex with whoever they choose.
It is not a "political belief" to think people of all races are equal and valuable human beings.
It is not a "political belief" to think people know what their own gender is after living in their body regardless what a doctor decided at birth
These are not political beliefs. These are acknowledgments of reality.

Perhaps as a Hunter I’ve been too harsh on Titans. They are VERY useful or attaching trip mines to and then sending them into a group of adds.

Boom! 🤣

It's funny when people tell biologists to get a "real job" in the "real world". The living world *is* the real world. The world of economics and finance, real estate speculators and venture capitalists? *That* is the fake world, operating under the delusion that it isn't embedded in and entirely dependent on the the biosphere and all other aspects of the natural world. The problem is our society, which systematically favors profits in the illusory world over the well being of the real one.

look ... when you realise that racism keeps white people, not only in power, but also comfortably ignorant ... then you're getting there.

when you realise capitalism was borne out of slavery (cheap labour for maximum profit at the expense of the underclasses - usually non-white but also, by necessity include poor whites, cos profit and power), then you're nearer still.

when you realise dismantling the power and wealth class is the only way to fix this shit ... then *maybe* we might be in the same chapter if not the same page.

This has mostly been reported as "trans women banned from women's chess" but it's much more sinister. (as if it weren't already.)

ALL trans people are targeted by this ruling. Trans men will be stripped of all chess titles won, which can only be returned to them by “changing the gender back to a woman” (from the ICF’s ruling). ALL transgender chess players will be marked as trans in their files.

If you play or know anyone who does take a stand on this. It's ugly.

In my lifetime we have gone from “don’t trust Wikipedia, trust the newspaper” to “don’t trust social media, trust reputable online news outlets” to “the only bastion of truth against the computer-generated garbage published by the mainstream news media is the Wikimedia Foundation and the Fediverse”

I think I have a crossover graphic novel somewhere about that… did I finish reading it? I think I’d better!

"110 years ago, suffragettes bombed and burned their way into the headline… In the space of 18 months, they… torched nearly 340 buildings, including nearly 100 houses or hotels and 32 churches."

These days, we send the relatively tame #JustStopOil to jail for slowing traffic, or throwing confetti.

JSO are on the right side of history.
