A starry sky is seen over a dark grassy landscape. Three bright objects are seen in the sky. They are Jupiter on the upper left, a crescent Moon on the upper right, and Comet Pons-Brooks below them, making a triangle. Two tails are seen extending nearly upwards from the comet.

Latest comic: No-so-silent Spring

#leafblowers #environment #climatechange #noisepollution #cartoon #comic #climate #climatecrisis #earthday

VIRTUAL SPRING Woman and man sitting in Adirondack chairs on their back porch as a leaf blower wails in the background REEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Woman: The moment itโ€™s warm enough to enjoy the spring, the leaf blowers start up. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Woman: Not only are they loud, theyโ€™re poisoning workers with exhaust, spraying dust, allergens and fecal matter everywhere, and spewing tons of CO2 during a climate emergency. All to blow a few blades of grass off a driveway! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Man: What you need are noise-canceling earbuds and birdsong recordings to re-create the joys of a suburbanized spring. Softer REEEEEEE Woman, wearing earbuds with birds tweeting around head: Ah, the late anthropoceneโ€ฆ

Happy Trans Day of Visibility everyone. I spent over 6 months writing and rewriting this article that I just published. Most of that time was spent debating whether or not to publish it.

I'm finally coming out; I'm trans. I hope this article helps.

Coming Out as Trans

I am publicly announcing that I am transgender. I have experienced gender dysphoria for almost ten years, but I have found a label that I feel comfortable with now.

Is this Factorio dev one of my viewers lol
GNOME, in their infinite wisdom, have decided that all clients must provide their own decorations, and if a client does not, they will simply be missing. I disagree with this decision; Factorio does not need to provide decorations on any other platform, nay, on any other desktop environment, but GNOME can (ab)use its popularity to force programs to conform to its idiosyncrasies or be left behind.

Shout out to Humble House in Golden, CO that does the same thing. If you browse the slips there you'll see people "paying it forward" for a wide variety of reasons: people who are hungry, people who are struggling with cancer, runaways who are alone, people who are lonely.

A small gesture of kindness from a stranger can have a profound effect on a person. I hope everyone is lucky enough to experience that.

I've been drawing strips for years about attacks on students' right to protest, yet strangely I've never been invited to give a TED Talk, speak at an "ideas festival," or pen a column for the Atlantic.

This is from 2016.

#uspol #cartoon #protest #college #firstamendment

THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO GUIDE TO FREE SPEECH Some clarifications to our weekly letter mandating โ€œfreedom of expressionโ€ on campus Are you from a dominant social group saying โ€œpolitically correctโ€ things? That is speech. Weโ€™ll protect it! Are you from a minority group protesting something said by the previous group? (Woman holds up sign saying โ€œThat was racist.โ€) Proceed with caution, you coddled millennial. Are you an invited speaker to whom we are paying a hefty fee, and also a war criminal/online harasser/extreme bigot/anti-science kook? Weโ€™ve got your back! Want to peacefully protest your university granting legitimacy to this person? (Students holding sign saying โ€œDisinvite the bigotโ€) Sorry, voicing that opinion is not speech. We are VERY, VERY concerned about โ€œtrigger warnings.โ€ (Shout out to right-wing donors!) (Corporate guy with dollars in hand says โ€œYeah!โ€) But no need to mention the problem of campus sexual assault. Are you an LGBT student looking for a place where you donโ€™t have to worry about being harassed? Sorry, no โ€œsafe spaces,โ€ you wimps! Wait, we already have those? Oops!

This Bitcoin Halving Is Different. But Is It 'Priced In'?

Institutions launching bitcoin ETFs this year have buoyed the bitcoin price to record levels. Does that mean the impact of the halving โ€” the four-year slashing of the bitcoin reward โ€” could be relatively muted?

Happy birthday to #geochemist Charles David Keeling (1928 - 2005) whose decades long observations of CO2 in air samples from Mauna Loa Observatory were some of the 1st direct data to show the human contribution to greenhouse effect & global warming. The 'Keeling Curve' (in copper & red) shows both the seasonal variations (the wiggles) & the strong upward trend with time as the greenhouse gas built up in the atmosphere. ๐Ÿงต1/

Good to see that Mastodon has a 501(c)(3)! Also,, even if not all the board is elected, there's a lot of value in what Wikimedia and Global Voices do, with at least some board seats open to election from staff and the community.

With regular elections, the board gets to see and hear from the evolving set of hopes, concerns, and constituencies that are of interest to the community every time an election arises.

Please, pull yourself together As a news site about Linux gaming, you don't seem to be more interested in open-source gaming. Sites like phoronix and linuxlinks has more open-source gaming related content than you ever had. Example: StuntRally had 3 releases from last year after being dormant for 10 years. I notified you about it last year. But you seemed to be more eager to bitch about twitter at that time. No one is prohibiting you from posting news about proprietary games, just post a fair share of open-source news. In heavy heart, I'm sending you this email after following your news for a few years. People like you are a disgrace to the Linux community. In my experience, people like you always complain about google monopoly but won't use Firefox.
