Who could have known that without a frigging and manipulating algorithm all it's needed is to be a decent human being to connect with other people

Breathe@protecttruth @AmandaMarcotte start calling every mass shooting a Republican Gun Violence event. Republicans are the root cause of gun violence in this country. It is not an "American" problem it is a "Republican" problem. Do not let the media deflect and "both sides" the Republican Gun Violence.
LadyFluffyOrcaThis is an ornate spiny lobster (Panulirus ornatus). Apparently this is what it takes to impress the girls in lobster world.... Works for me.

Prof. Emily M. Bender(she/her)"We come to bury ChatGPT, not to praise it." Excellent piece by @danmcquillan

I suggest you read the whole thing, but some pull quotes:
"ChatGPT is a part of a reality distortion field that obscures the underlying extractivism and diverts us into asking the wrong questions and worrying about the wrong things."

@bookstodon.com Goliath - Tochi Onyebuchi, remarkable, striking, reminded me of Dhalgren. Highly recommended. Though a challenging read. Seems right to have read it this month, it's future history but like so much good sci fi it feels close, like current history through a teargas lens.

Helen CzerskiVery much a fan of this piece on the dying virtue of modesty, by David Mitchell: "I’m not saying that you shouldn’t give a good account of yourself in a job interview. There’s a time and a place. Job interviews are atypical human interactions, awkward but necessary, where the usual conventions about how to behave are suspended. Like rectal examinations. But we need to be sparing with such exceptions or you end up with the Oscars." https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/feb/05/lets-hear-it-for-the-dying-virtue-of-modesty #boasting #PutASockInThatTrumpet
JohnW ⚓ 📸 ✊🏿Hidden Figures
Hidden Figures is an uplifting and inspiring film about a group of talented and determined African American women who made significant contributions to the United States space program during the early 1960s.
At a time when segregation and discrimination were still prevalent, these women faced many challenges and obstacles in their pursuit of education and careers. Despite these barriers, they persevered and excelled in their respective fields, eventually becoming integral members of the team that helped launch astronaut John Glenn into orbit.
Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, and Janelle Monáe star as Katherine G. Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson, respectively, and give powerful and moving performances that bring these remarkable women to life on the big screen.
With stunning attention to detail and a cast of talented actors, Hidden Figures is a must-see film that celebrates the achievements of these trailblazing women and serves as a reminder of the importance of diversity and inclusion in all fields.
