Tonight's the night! Thanks to the Boulder Public Library, tonight I get to see my friend Pete Davis's new film, Join or Die. So good so far.

My main character, Telese! Fun fact: I was mistaken about the color auburn. I thought it was more brown than red. I only found out after multiple books went out the first time that I was wrong.

Shoulda gone with chestnut.

in reply to Seeerah ✍ 📖

I can thank Dolly Parton for knowing that “flaming locks of auburn hair” denotes a redhead. So, I always imagined Telese with red hair, but in my mind it is still a darker browner shade.

in reply to Muse

Yup. I always lean in when someone starts telling me what my motives are. I'm fairly insightful and most of the time trying to do good. I'll save you the effort of making shit up and tell you exactly what my brain did CBT style.

Bedauerlich. Ich benutze weder X, Instagram oder Facebook. Dann eben nicht. Meiner Meinung nach sollten aber deutsche Behörden rechtsextreme Plattformen wie X nicht legitimieren.

@Gargron
bedauerlich aber bei einem von der AFDP geführten Ministerium nicht überraschend
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron Da die deutschen Behörden zunehmend selbst rechtsextrem werden passt es doch nur das sie dann auch auf rechtsextremen Plattformen unterwegs sind.

@Gargron
Ich denke da müssen wir vor allem zeigen das im Feediverse etwas los ist und mehr mit dem @bmbf_bund interagieren!

I understand you wanted to add a new hype feature for the next major version. But AI, really? There are quite some other areas which still can be improved. Personally I didn't miss AI at all ...

US accuses Russia of 2024 election interference


RT boss Margarita Simonyan was one of 10 people sanctioned for alleged attempts to harm "public trust in our institutions".

Attorney General Merrick Garland accused state broadcaster RT, formerly Russia Today, of paying a Tennessee firm $10m to "create and distribute content to US audiences with hidden Russian government messaging".

"Three things are certain in life: death, taxes and RT's interference in the US elections."

This is a big story. We literally have no idea how influential this outside propaganda may be.

Others have said this, but the Internet Archive's appeals-court loss to Big Publishing is a disaster for everyone but the cartel of companies and a tiny number of A list authors.

The publishers will tolerate libraries only as long as they can control everything about how books can be loaned. If public libraries were being invented today, the cartel would make their core functions illegal.

Max Delbrück, born #OTD in 1906, was a major force in the origins of molecular biology. Having trained in quantum physics, he saw phage as the “atom” of biology.
Although he had died years before, his ethos of intellectual rigor was still palpable a Caltech when I was there and his former office was a hangout as the Delbrück lounge.
