Just found @helenczerski here, but it looks like she too has moved on as of this year.

Shame. I re-watched her Science of Bubbles programme recently and found it ever so inspiring. In absentia at least - thank you!

@KathyReid I often dream that dream too.

And then I remember: when the internet was domesticated around 2004 the usual scare tactics played their part. But above all it actually used to take some skills to grapple with the new inter-beast, learn html, ftp, menu trees, graphics conversion etc.

Slop-enshitti-net's what we got because most had better things to do than learn, apparently.

@_thegeoff If I were on Artemis I'd keep reminding everyone how Apollo 8 got there faster, quietly, and AI-free. Naturally I'd get shot through the airlock soon enough.
So, either way, that's why I'm not on Artemis.

@cstross And if we all stopped posting his name - in whatever mood context - guess what, he'd be forgotten PDQ.

Best of luck fighting it, Mallory. But the so-called economy will fight you, too.

@evacide Pleasant thought. And feasible - once we revive our emaciated organic economy to pay the bills. Stand by...
@anolandria This has a non-zero chance of violating their appropriate risk posture.
@CatherineBabault Stay cool, calm and connected should do the trick, I hope? 🤔

It's official! Scotland has voted for our bill to ban greyhound racing!

@ScottishGreens Brilliant! That should help more dogs to be called dogs by their owners, not rescues.
