A lovely photo essay about "muleskinning and the art of slowing down". "A 'muleskinner' is the term used for a mule driver, but it also refers to the microculture of the caravan." kottke.org/23/02/muleskinning-…


If they gave Oscars to books instead of movies, a neat concept from Literary Hub. lithub.com/if-they-gave-oscars…
in reply to kottke.org

it’s cool, but I find the mapping of Oscar categories to book categories a bit questionable. But maybe that’s part of the fun.

Great news! if only they could iron out some of the Media Foundation kinks with Yakuza 4 and 5 Remastered, I could finally play through the entire series on my Deck...

@JMMaok Oh my that sounds so fun. It would be a way to scout for cultural similarity between instances and best fit for users (could it be an abuse vector though?). #Discord charges users to use their custom server #emoji between servers and I would appreciate a more open approach... but after tracking down the issue page for joinmastodon.org I realized don't really know how would this work. Would require some sort of central #search able database of emoji?


In the very middle of this #HubbleFriday image is a galaxy... but you might have to look very closely to find it.

My first time as host of the @stamen podcast, and I get to interview Tanya Ruka, the Executive Director of one of my favorite mapping organizations: Native Land Digital. Their website native-land.ca is one of the most exciting and important map projects I've seen in the last 10 years.

Listen to the episode here: anchor.fm/pln8/episodes/15--Ta… or subscribe to the Stamen Pollinate podcast wherever you get your podcasts!

more week! also a tip from the circles of mastodon I run in: folks are weary of shortened links because it's unclear who is harvesting that metadata. Hope the prep is going well

@danwchan That's a great point, @danwchan! Thanks for pointing it out and I updated the post with the full link.

I have a GTX 970. Why does the new steam big picture mode run like its in slow motion? Is it because I cant use wayland or like is it a bug?

The feudalism of the #geekproblem "governance" bites... campaign.openworlds.info/@brit… we kinda need to realize that building tech on medieval ideas is a VERY stupid path to take, maybe democracy (and or a constitutional monarchy) might be a needed step.

The libertarian "cats" of the #fedivers and mastodon are having a hard time coming together to get needed stuff done socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/…

We have managed to herd the cats before, so can do this agen.



It's clear the #OnlineSafetyBill is being used for political ends. The new amendment aims to prevent people from seeing images of small boat crossings. Intercepting posts is barefaced censorship to erase the rights of refugees and migrants from democratic discourse. #censorship #migrants #refugees

Many hundreds of meteorites were collected before the 18th century. But few from those times have survived. The oldest stone meteorite that has persisted, perhaps due to initial protection by King Maximilian, is the one that was observed to fall on November 7, 1492 at Ensisheim in Alsace.
