  I’m of two minds about people turning a new (reformed) leaf: 1. People need to be able to grow and change when confronted with the fact that they’ve caused harm. We have to give space for that. 2. We can still hold them accountable for the harm they’ve caused; if they are truly reforming they will understand that. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/2026/10/openai-safety-team-resignation/688881/

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@verge/116041069446538092 Two things: 1. We are creating a two-tiered internet that will see people willing to give up their IDs having one experience while those who can’t, won’t, or don’t have them missing out on those experiences or being outright excluded from whole areas of the web 2. Why you would be willing to give up your ID to web services that have such poor security in a time when identity is being weaponized by state actors is beyond me

  Listening to a prosecutor on the radio talk about how jury duty is important because they settle tons of cases under the threat of a jury trial. This is not justice.

  RE: https://mstdn.social/@mcnado/117297887446531909 I try to explain this to people all the time. False arrests and pre-trial detention can seriously fuck up a person’s life. They can lose their kids, jobs, homes, end up going bankrupt and dealing with that for years.

  Just a reminder that being fat isn't a moral failing, but being a fascist certainly is. Plan your little anti-Trump memes accordingly.

  If you wear certified N95/KN95s daily, do you have a favorite brand that comes in black? Bonus points if they have adjustable ear loops. I have been buying from Maskc for years and am gonna reorder if there isn’t a better alternative. #MaskUp

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@kurtsh/117012201618353752 Four books I’ve read multiple times, off the top of my head: 1. Stories of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang 2. Home Fire by Kamila Shamsie 3. How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe by Charles Yu 4. Alif the Unseen by G. Willow Wilson #bookstodon #reading

  Looking for a non-fiction book that covers some of the evolutionary pressures that created some of the more interesting adaptive niches in plants and animals. I imagine it’ll be in the evolutionary biology area but I don’t want anything by Dawkins or his ilk. #reading #bookstodon #AskFedi

  The dramatic increase in AI data centers in such a short period of time, facilitated by governments at all levels, proves that there is political will for “progress”, but somehow that will is never available for anything other than making a handful of people rich. I want to see this kind of push for infrastructure that tackles climate change and reduces suffering.

  Can anyone recommend a minimal skin-care regimen for the time between the gym and the shower and then in the shower? Particularly for clogged pores triggered by sweat? I mask at the gym and I use a Cetaphil face wipe as soon as I get to the car and take my mask off. I shower at home within 20ish mins of leaving the gym. I don’t wear makeup and have sensitive skin/fragrance-triggered migraines. #skincare

  I’ve been shopping more on second-hand marketplaces (Poshmark, ThredUp, Mercari) for clothing recently and really enjoying it. The availability of items is so much wider than what the stores sell, it’s cheaper, and you’re re-using an unloved item.
