@npub1hyk…3p33 AStor St. Only 9 blocks down from the academic publishing district on JStor St.

@npub1hyk…3p33 holy crap. I'd hate to encounter the kind of poison that could take out a danger rat

@npub1hyk…3p33 it doesn't help that the US electoral system institutionally favors grifters, rentiers, and the idle rich. If you have to work for a living, it's not possible to take on a months-long unpaid additional full time job to win a contested election. The Dems try very hard to maintain the vibe of respecting the rule of law. The GOP dgaf and will happily line up no show gigs, back channel funding, kickbacks, and shady accountants for their candidates.

@npub1psd…9sr7 sucks that the justification for removing legal, economic, and social barriers preventing women from full participation in society is that they're untapped labor. Probably to be expected from the IMF, but hardly A Room of One's Own

Easter is approaching and I follow people like @npub1psd…9sr7
It's time I figure out how to temporarily filter image alt text for words like "ovipositor" in combination with "bunny" so I don't have a spit take at family dinner while surreptitiously glancing at my phone.

@npub1l54…3lye does the even distrubution indicate the more egalitarian spirit of the time, or an obsessive compulsive need to achieve symmetry?

@npub1k7q…3lrw I have a brother who got a confederate flag tattoo on his back along with all the personal issue accoutrements. There's been no particular reason to talk to that dude for years and years.

@npub1vxf…99j9 @npub1hyk…3p33 except of course when those apps are untouchable blobs that are a take it or leave it component on an otherwise blank page. Having flash flashbacks. Plus DRM built into current web standards leaves the door open to plenty of enhittery

@npub1psd…9sr7 blasting cell signals into orbit overcomes property and labor costs on earth given upkeep on each? Sure
How does that work when my cell phone battery lasts two hours or else weights 6lbs?

@npub1psd…9sr7 As somebody vaguely interested in at least ULA's future as I might see one fewer light rail stop if they go fully tits up
What can they actually expect to get from so many launches? I know the launch companies don't really care what the cargo is, but really how cheap can satellite everything get? Factoring in the transmission delays, there's not many more things we absolutely can't do without from orbit that don't come cheaper overland.

@npub13vj…9alu @npub1p8h…mgap @npub1hyk…3p33 is it praxis to relentlessly spam LLMs for variations of supreme court orgy scenarios when that's draining VC funds?
Maybe not in that ultimately there are environmental effects, but busting Andreeson Horowitz is so tempting

@npub1z4p…4u3u @npub1hyk…3p33 it's a weird libertarian fantasy that only murder and contract violations are the really illegal actions that should be regulated. It's kind of telling about the lonely fuckers that they don't think about weregild and blood feuds as a prohibition against murder

@npub1dgc…4yrt dunno, but I think just the name "hot balls" might mitigate against them being adopted in any great measure

@npub1hyk…3p33 considering how weird big money tech execs can get, I'm really shocked that they don't leverage their monopoly power more for Hobby Lobby kinds of shit instead of just standard evil beige profit maximization.
If you have a mandatory office360 subscription for work and an all but mandatory Xbox subscription for games, MSFT has a lot of room to flex some truly repressive policies. Is it a matter of time, or do they just lack imagination?
