CIRCLE WITH A DOT

True. The window of uncertainty closed somewhere between the thirties and the sixties. (It took some decades to learn the differences between physical and abstract machines.)

@melioristicmarie @wwahammy

Looks somewhat better.

Yes, the ad-sponsored Internet was the final and biggest mistake of the twentieth century.

@melioristicmarie @wwahammy

Voluntary contributions? We're talking infrastructure here. Excuse me if I disbelieve in the power of the free market.

@wwahammy

We knew that in one way or another for at least half a century.

But we woke up one fine morning (was it in the nineties?) and we chose violence.

We're reaping the fucking whirlwind.

Random wire antenna >> no antenna.

Morning, fuckers.

I see age verification discourse has developed new branches.

It's 2026. If you don't lead with "it's another assault on everyone's privacy pushed by the owners of the Internet and authoritarian governments" you're lying by omission and covering for technofascists.

And it's goddamn Pride Month. If you don't talk about the harm to minors in abusive families cut off from online support communities, you're spitting on our fucking faces. But you do that year-round so where's the surprise.

Do better. Or shut the fuck up.

I always thought the quality or nature of Crazy Old Cat Lady rested not in a bare felinity index but in other qualities. I'm a COCL with a FI of 0 since late 2021, for instance.

@EricLawton @futurebird

Obviously a system based on having an endless stream of disposable workers.

@infoseclogger @burnoutqueen

Health. Education. Culture. True efficiency, as in "doing a lot with almost nothing": antipodal opposite of US waste. International solidarity. Everything a good fascist must fear and hate.

I'd love to know exactly when it became inconvenient. With long-distance navigation, maybe? It really looks like a good fit for a pre-industrial society.

@iris

I knew I saw something like this once:

@MLE_online

Come to think of it, every reasonably big "tech" company has burned their reputation, prestige or whatever to the ground.

@brunox

Tendría que preparar un mate con la yerba intomable que nos baja Mujeres y Diversidad de la provincia para sacarle una foto nomás.

Anotemos que al menos en nuestra región los antiandrógenos de elección son el acetato de ciproterona y la espironolactona, muy distintos y cada cual con defensores y detractores... en mi caso y el de muchas compañeras de mi provincia, dependiendo de qué tenga la farmacia del hospital donde nos atendemos, no por criterio médico. (No veo la hora de hacerme la orqui.)

Gracias, @kamon_

Buen día, miserables.

¿Alguien sabe cuáles son los efectos de la combinación valerato de estradiol + dienogest en terapia de reemplazo hormonal para personas #trans?

El fármaco combinado es más barato, importante para les compañeres que no tienen cobertura de salud.

Mi amiga @sativa reporta que estuvo buscando en los lugares habituales y no obtuvo información: les agradecemos desde ya.

(Sí, es mi modo de fingir demencia hoy. Can't blame me for trying.)

@HarriettMB @dtl @sundogplanets

Yes. She's burning out on all this. Were it not for her goats...

@dtl

Know what makes this worse? Lots of people already lost their skies to ground-based light pollution so they don't know how cluttered orbital space has become. No political pressure from them. Just another way in which scientific/technical illiteracy will kill us all.

@dtl

JFC, these fuckers are breaking astronomy both amateur and professional.

@Photo55

Yes, shortcuts to make the most of limited bodies. But to keep a closed ecology plus the mechanical part of the habitat and some mining/manufacturing capability there's no easy substitute for those bodies, and I'm afraid the number needed is still higher than expected.
