Are golf carts part of the future of urban transportation? "They provide accessibility for residents who aren't able to drive; they enable local shops to expand parking capacity..." kottke.org/23/01/are-golf-cart…
in reply to kottke.org

Makes serious sense. That's how almost everyone gets around on Catalina Island. Nice for pedestrians, too--golf carts are less obnoxious than cars (plus, kinda silly!).
in reply to kottke.org

I've spent extended times in a couple of golf-cart friendly vacation spots (Folly Beach SC and and Disney World's Fort Wilderness) and they made family travel fun. The kids loved getting behind the wheel. The camaraderie even amongst strangers was real. When they're ubiquitous car traffic naturally slows down, making biking and walking safer. A win all around.


I've been meaning to pass this on. Oni: Thunder God's Tale on Netflix is just a stunning series. Cute, dramatic, heartfelt, politically astute. And guess what? That character with the wings is voiced by none other than...George Takei.

Is anyone doing #365papers this year?

I made a repository to track my reading log, and hopefully help keep me accountable!

Feel free to check it out here: codeberg.org/ashinonyx/365-pap…

in reply to Ashley Reynolds

I know @HeedLab was doing that last year. I try to toot to the @oneabstractaday[@]a.gup.pe from @MicrobioJC for the papers we read for the show as a sort of accountability/broadcast interest/archival purposes
in reply to Danny (he/they)

@danwchan
impressed some people do this for >1 yr and every single day. I tried every workday, and pulled through something like 80% of the time.
Posting on social media did help to hold myself accountable.
Yet, I found that serious reading of even 1 paper a workday is not possible given all the other tasks my job as a professor holds for me. This, btw, seems to be what many others find, too, based on the comments I've received.

Indie game character filled platform-battler 'Fraymakers' arrives January 18th gamingonlinux.com/2023/01/indi… #IndieGame #SmashBros #PCGaming

I love how this is a thing in indie games nowadays. Dead Cells added something like that last year in an update.


"Room tone" recordings help sound editors create seamless edits but are kind of funny/awkward to observe. Daniel Reis made a short film out of these silent moments from Criterion Collection interviews (w/ Spike Lee, Coens, etc.) criterion.com/current/posts/80…
in reply to kottke.org

I would watch that entire thing with the original room tone instead of the score. Something very fascinating about watching talented people in quiet human moment of thought

When I started my lab a few years ago I started building up an in-house library for students. Two of the first books I bought are The Logic of Chance (Eugene Koonin) and The Origins of Genome Architecture (Michael Lynch). Both are remarkable books that discuss genomics in the context of microbial diversity and the tree of life.

What other genomics/evolution classics do people always keep around?

A new favorite song.

in reply to Ra'il IK

This song is also on that same playlist

But this is the song that makes you get up and sway and dance around the fire

in reply to Ra'il IK

whenever I think about dancing around a fire I think about this song because the music video contains said dancing

Also that scene from Portrait of a Lady on Fire!



This past weekend I saw this wonderful funny (slightly lewd but SFW) animation at a screening of a selection of wonderful animations. Hope y'all enjoy it as much as I did.

@bonkerfield glad you enjoyed it! I also love the sound design of the whole thing. Yeah I think the gist is something about the use/abuse of data to quantify and control the human experience. It also seems to encode some truth that even if "fully datafied" there are forms of human expression that seep out.


Provocation: anyone expecting to use Mastodon at no cost is inviting the entry of ads and VCs to this space.

We need commons, not dependency.

in reply to Nathan Schneider

Why should individual instances not choose to monetise their users with ads? It wouldn't have to affect the rest of the fediverse, and users who don't like it can just use another instance (with a different funding model).

France is mandating clean air in the classrooms, requiring CO2 levels of 800 ppm. I hope this is rolled out in other countries. Apart from lowering #covid risks in the classroom, it will also address other respiratory issues. #CleanAir #COVID #SafeSchools

1. When you look at another person, you have an instinctive affective/evaluative response to what they look like. Where does that come from?

2. WTF is a sex/gender difference anyway?

3. How does our evolved nature interact with culture and experience to shape the things above?

damn what a blast from the past! I remember sinking hundreds of hours in TA, and even got the fantasy themed iteration (TA: Kingdoms was it called?). Those years were peak early PC gaming days for me.


Every day, we rediscover ourselves.

Space sci-fi 4x city-builder 'Antimatter' gets a new trailer gamingonlinux.com/2023/01/spac… #IndieGame #Gaming #PCGaming

Will need to watch the trailer later on, but sounds interesting from your write-up, and while it's hex and not squares, graphics throw a very Civ 1 vibe to me.


Populism coupled with increasing assaults on scientific integrity have dramatically shifted the political landscape & contributed to geopolitical instability.

The policy ramifications are yet to be understood, but anti-intellectualism has threatened public health, stymied environmental progress, influenced funding priorities & sculpted the rhetoric of local, state & national politics.

New post: The Rise of Anti-intellectualism sheril.substack.com/p/the-rise… #science #politics

in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

The people get exactly the society that they deserve. If they allow leaders who are anti-intellectuals, whether in a democracy or under authoritarianism, then they have no one to blame. The people will either grab control of their own destiny, or they will suffer the consequences.
