Now we’re here, ready for the next major disaster. (Spoiler warning.)
MAGA wants walls. Europe builds standards, research, travel and opportunity. I know which future I want Britain part of. Back to the table. #ReJoinEU #Europe

Obviously the subject of death was in the air, but more as something to be avoided than harped upon.
There was an accident with a contraceptive and a time machine. Now concentrate!

Who lost in Hungary? Orban, Trump, Putin, and Farage

You really could not make this up. The Vice President of America goes to take part in a General Election in Hungary and then complains about foreign interference in that country’s election. Did he …

But what does Richard Kemp think?

> in the current climate, it’s generally safe to interpret ‘AI’ as meaning ‘machine learning applied to a problem where machine learning is the wrong solution’

This is a superb observation, thank you. It articulates something I’ve felt for a while.

just updating this – I’m holding off on contacting anyone else just at the moment to give a couple of the orgs I’ve contacted a chance to get back to me. if those don’t work out I’ll contact individual people – I’m trying to keep the overhead of disposal manageable as I’m not local any more & am relying on a friend to provide access

thank you all so much for your interest 💕
 
 
 
hi frens 👋 does anyone in #Melbourne have any contacts who might be interested in #metalworking gear for cheap or free? I’m disposing of my dad’s estate & trying to find good homes for a garage full of equipment, tools, & some scrap metal – including drill presses, a lathe, welders, oxy tanks, etc.…

I’d much rather they go to folks who could make good use of them than have them sold off to a metal scrapper or end up in landfill

if you’re interested or have any leads on someone who might be, pls DM me

ETA: I’ve already contacted quite a few men’s sheds & men’s shed networks in Victoria & the few that I was able to get a response from weren’t able to take anything due to space or focus constraints 😕

pls #boost4reach

This would have all been a lot easier if I wasn’t so worried about the stupid humans.

I guess I •will• gesture in a specific direction, however:

Item 2 (“it’s toxic by design, for profit”) points in the direction of some very different answers than the ones currently making their way through legislatures, regulatory bodies, school, and parenting circles.

Welcome to today’s edition of “Paul asks you to hold the follow thoughts simultaneously, despite their being in tension.”

1. Social media in its popular form is socially toxic and psychologically dangerous — probably for everyone, certainly for children and adolescents. The evidence on this is compelling, and in my view is not just moral panic reified as research. It’s probably a bad idea for kids / teens to be using it. (And again…maybe all of us.)
