By-the-way, that Detroit Electric EV still runs even though it is about 110 years old.
in reply to Muse

Jay Leno has a 1909 Baker Electric (which that one looks quite a bit like) that he still drives it out on the streets, and he says it has never needed any electrical or mechanical work.


Oh! Cool new Nazca drawings--including one of a jester space alien holding its pet slug upside down!

I'd hang up too if someone said it's instead of its.


Tech bros in Silicon Valley who lack expertise in #climate #science should not be tinkering with the planet in the name of selling carbon credits. This is reckless. nytimes.com/2024/09/25/climate…
in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

Well, you know, so very many tech bros. Always thinking they invented the wheel. But the wheel they announce is square-shaped.

SO2 has a short residence time compared to CO2. To sell this (very bad idea) as carbon credits they’d need a plan to keep injecting SO2 for a thousand years or so, not a timescale tech bros are good at, even when they try.

Weaponised incompetence is a manipulative power play. As more politicians are caught out for bad behaviour these elections, the more they will use the "poor pity me, I couldn't have possibly done that!" then pass all the blame onto someone else.

Shifting the blame is a time-dishonored tradition.

@Gargron @Bluewall "I don't believe that nicotine or our products are addictive."

Joseph Taddeo, president of US Tobacco, in a statement to Congress in 1994.

Four other tobacco and cigarette executives gave the same statement.

The tobacco industry intentionally engineered cigarettes to make them more addictive for most of the 20th century.

@alwirtes I think as long as it fits within the same broad purpose established with the IRS, yes.

Mañana se cumplen 10 años de la desaparición de los 43 normalistas de #Ayotzinapa.

43 estudiantes que fueron secuestrados y desaparecidos sin que ningún gobierno desde entonces haya hecho lo suficiente para encontrarles o encontrar a los autores de esas desapariciones forzadas.

Justicia!

There are some interesting referral statistics embedded in this piece. Facebook referral traffic has fallen more than 40% over the last year; referrals from Reddit have increased by 88%. #Media werd.io/2024/google-discover-i…
in reply to Ben Werdmuller

Even if we didn't set Referrer-Policy deliberately, a lot of our activity happens in native mobile apps that wouldn't send a Referer header anyway. And even if we got it all working, you'd have no way to group it all under "fediverse", it'd just be thousands of individual domains... I don't see what we can do here.

I am struck by how throroughly the modern laws of war supposedly repudiate targeted (and "treacherous") assasination, considering how thoroughly normalized it has become in the US-backed wars. For instance: lieber.westpoint.edu/assassina…
