The cognitive dissonance and mental gymnastics of Microsoft's security team can't be overstated.

Are you sick of hearing how wind and solar can't scale, and nuclear power is the only and fastest way to save the planet? I certainly am.

My first batch at recurse center I told a friend I kept hearing "what if we train them and they leave?" and he told me the correct response is "What if we don't train them and they STAY?"

Researchers showed asbestos contaminated talcum powder caused cancer. Johnson and Johnson spun the resulting liability off into a subsidiary, and has now started suing the researchers who uncovered the link. https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/johnson-johnson-sues-researchers-who-linked-talc-cancer-2023-07-13/

If you identify responsibility or ethics in the behaviour of large multinational corporations, it’s an oversight.

Did you know that "pushing your #code to #GitHub" is not how to #OpenSource a project?

It is about adding a Free #License, and you can push anywhere you want, including #Codeberg, for example :)

Do any #NeedleFelt, #FiberArts, or other #crafts people have advice on displaying needle felt while keeping it safe from wool moths?

#RishiSunak to force English #universities to cap numbers of students on ‘low-value’ degrees | #Students | The Guardian

A #university #education is meant to be to promote scholarship and learning. It is not supposed to be merely a treadmill to employment.

@dangillmor This is the thing: https://digitaldefensefund.org/ddf-guides/abortion-privacy

We have a bunch of additional resources in SSD and we're working on more, but DDF is where everything is laid out in the simplest way in one place.

In-N-Out banning masks on employees sure looks like a move to push out the ones who have disabilities or conditions that make covid more serious. The reasons in the corporate memo posted here https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/110/713/502/297/352/099/small/c3b5330c16b05272.png don't pass the smell test.

DeSantis' Florida is creating a state-run, brownshirt "militia". https://www.tampabay.com/news/florida-politics/2023/07/14/florida-state-guard-desantis-national-guard-training/

At least some honorable people there are saying, "No way will I be part of this."

But America's new fascists are more and more brazen. And if the rest of us don't start taking the threat they represent more seriously, they could prevail.

Most American college students borrow under $26K for college.

But 73% of Black students borrow at least $57K. Because their families have less net worth. Because of racism.

And Black women borrow more than Black men.

A $400 billion company just sued scientists for their peer-reviewed research revealing a safety issue, but there's been total silence from all the prominent anti-vax and anti-cancel culture people.

Gosh, it's like they're all just fronts for right-wing billionaires.

John Cusack is tweeting out some of the dirty secrets of Hollywood accounting -- and it's pretty illuminating.

@mattcropp or other #cooperative historians out there have any suggestions for this museum curator on r/cooperatives?

So about a month ago I got this idea to make a parody of "Daft Punk is Playing at My House" called "Trump Got Indicted at My House" and I cobbled something together and now that it's done I realize I can't actually do anything with it because it's NOT parody, it's satire, and satire isn't considered fair use the same way parody is.

Sigh.

There are a few other issues too, but that alone sort of kills the project for me.

Fun tune though.
