Trump shock troops who cover their lawns & trucks & boats & bodies in professions of their MAGA faith are too far gone to change. But if Liz Cheney is endorsing Kamala Harris b/c "of the danger that Donald Trump poses," good on her. Thank you! Who's next?

Bottom trawling does serious damage to the ecosystems on the #ocean floor.
We now have vision from the Emperor Seamounts illustrating precisely what is at risk.

To protect the oceans, bottom trawling needs to stop.

I find this line particularly embarrassing:

"Only 20 vessels from six countries, including New Zealand, are estimated to bottom trawl on high seas seamounts. Seamount catches only make up a tiny proportion of global marine catch, but the damage trawlers do to these places is huge and long-lasting."

Clean, green New Zealand, huh?
yeah, right.

Study: Playing Dungeons & Dragons helps autistic players in social interactions

"I can make a character quite different from how I interact with people in real life."

As an autist person myself, I can confirm that roleplaying games were the best to get better grip on social interaction. Been playing since 1991, and not stopping.

I read somewhere that as the FCC grants approval for Starlink, their actions could drag the US into a matter of interfering with another nation’s sovereignty.

Given their reliance on US launch contracts - could be a reason to back down? They were certainly happy to block stuff for India.



I started using #nixos a few months ago to manage different development environments on my #wsl #debian machine for uni work. #rstats, #python and #zig. Each assignment or project, which I version control, has its own shell.nix file. This makes it trivial to get started again with all the needed dependencies, and to answer colleagues' "what do I need to install again?" questions.

The official documentation for this use case is good, but this video also helps: youtu.be/0YBWhSNTgV8?si=QhKmV5…
