I finished BABEL tonight and, no exaggeration, this is one of my all-time favorite novels—the literary equivalent of EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE in the sense of using genre fantasy to comment on the human situation in profound ways. It's the most powerfully anticolonial, anticapitalist work I've ever read. It made me want to build a barricade and take up arms against empire. A masterpiece.

colored vinyl LPs are lovely. A former roommate of mine had the white, blue, and red Beatles albums on colored vinyl and also a nice collection of picture vinyl LPs.
Meet the members of the #Artemis Red Crew. Ahead of liftoff, they went into the blast danger zone to ensure the @NASA_SLS Moon rocket could launch safely.
LIFTOFF! @NASA_SLS and @NASA_Orion launch on their first flight, the #Artemis I mission. Keep checking back for more launch images 📷➡️flic.kr/s/aHBqjzG1pG #NasaHQPhoto
Moonbound! #Artemis I has completed its trans-lunar injection, a propulsive maneuver that accelerates the @NASA_Orion spacecraft to more than 22,600 mph (36,370 kph) and propels it on its path to the Moon.
The @NASA_SLS rocket has reached main engine cutoff, or MECO, in the mission timeline. The RS-25 engines have powered off and the core stage has separated. @NASA_Orion is now in orbit.
Singer @JoshGroban and jazz pianist @HerbieHancock performed “The Star-Spangled Banner” in honor of the historic launch of the #Artemis I mission around the Moon.

The risk of the conflict in Ukraine expanding further into Eastern Europe escalated on Nov. 15, 2022, with reports of Russian-made missiles straying into neighboring Poland.
It was not immediately clear if the apparent strike – in which two people were killed – was intentional or accidental, or where the missiles had originated. But it represents a worrying development and the first time since hostilities began in the Ukraine war that a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or NATO, has been hit. It has led to questions over whether Poland may invoke Article 4 or Article 5 of the NATO treaty – something that could lead to military intervention by other member countries.
The Conversation asked John R. Deni, research professor at the U.S. Army War College, a lecturer at American Universi

It has led to questions over whether Poland may invoke Article 4 or Article 5 of the NATO treaty – something that could lead to military intervention by other member countries.
The Conversation asked John R. Deni, research professor at the U.S. Army War College, a lecturer at American University, and author of “NATO and Article 5: The Transatlantic Alliance and the Twenty-First-Century Challenges of Collective Defense,” to explain what invoking these articles would mean – and what could happen next.
update from Reuters "The Associated Press news agency, which had initially cited a senior U.S. intelligence official as saying Russian missiles had caused the blast in Poland, later quoted U.S. officials as saying initial findings were now that blast was caused by Ukrainian air defence missiles."
U.S. President Joe Biden told allies that a missile that killed two people in Poland was a Ukrainian air defence missile, a NATO source said on Wednesday.
#Artemis I Update: We are extending the countdown hold at T-10 minutes while the launch team estimates how much work needs to be done. This means we will slip into the two-hour launch window, and will share a revised launch time when it is confirmed. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1jMKg…

Okay this right here is a big fucking problem I have with how many mastodonians engage with the critiques of mastodon by scholars of color and users of color:
The argument that history doesn't matter because we have an influx of users is unconvincing to me for a variety of reasons, which I'll enumerate below.
@shengokai@zirk.us @lorenzlm@mastodon.social @jeffjarvis@mastodon.social @vowe@chaos.social Even the past history of Black M users is a null in that the platform is currently undergoing such a huge influx of non traditional M users that that experien…
Here, I'm going to draw on Sara Ahmed and John Dewey: a history provides an account of where a thing is and how it functioned within the world that made it possible. A history also provides a record of the embodied habits of a space: it is what gives the space its shape and contour through the actions taken within it.
In short, histories allow us to understand the space and how we can and cannot move through it as well as the kinds of life the space supports.
This is important when you think about social media as spaces. So let's take Mastodon. The history of the ways that Black users have been treated, the ways that their instances have fallen, informs the future engagements of new Black users insofar as they indicate how Black users have been and will be positioned within a social space.
It also tells us something about how black users "unfold" and the points from which the space "unfolds" as a space.
To be clear, the treatment of Black users on mastodon, as indicated by the recurring cycle of discourse around CWs, quote tweets, and the policing of other ways that Black users make present their experience and identities, makes clear that the point from which mastodon unfolds is whiteness.
And the 'argument' she presents is bullshit, especially when you consider 1. the lengths the fedi community has gone to push out Black users specifically and 2. the silence of all the alleged good people she is alluding to.
One cannot say that history doesn't matter when a defining characteristic of the fedi up until now has been anti-blackness, which has been why so few Black users have stuck with the fedi until now.
That kind of conjecture is a big reason safety is such a concern, as so many people join the fedi. Bigots feast on 'progressive' whites giving the benefit of the doubt repeatedly.

#Feditip If you are admin of your instance but only via the web interface, you can modify the "Publish" button back to "Toot!" with the following hack: 1) go to server parameters, apparence, and then locate the custom CSS textbox. 2) Add the following CSS code to hackily replace "Publish" with "Toot" or "Pouet" or whatever: .compose-form__publish-button-wrapper button { text-indent: -9999px; line-height: 0; /* Collapse the original line */ }
.compose-form__publish-button-wrapper button:after { content:'Toot!'; text-indent: 0; display: block; line-height: initial; /* New content takes up original line height */ } and voilà! (thanks to this answer on stack overflow stackoverflow.com/a/22054588)
