Arctic emitted more carbon than it stored for first time in 2024, US report finds | Semafor
Rising temperatures are causing the permafrost to melt, releasing greenhouse gases and further accelerating global warming.Diego Mendoza (www.semafor.com)
on one of the last days before the end of #sr24 on national radio, it is getting clear that #metakids is going to get a big donation. The idea that several hundreds of rare metabolic disorders become more treatable in the next 10 years resonates with people. Our own action has now raised 867 euro! npo3fm.nl/kominactie/acties/wi…
Thanks to every who donated! Thank you Patrick Luja, thank you Martijn Molenaar!

If a Mastodon server closes down, members can download offline post archives, but there's currently no official way to display these archives online.
A proposed solution by @oliphant is a static website generator they have created called "Posty", which turns Mastodon public post archives into standalone static public websites:
➡️ codeberg.org/oliphant/posty
It could be useful for servers that are closing down, admins could perhaps offer this as a service to their members.
This is the most ridiculous TTRPG I've seen in ages.
I kind of want to buy the 1200-page hardcover "rulebook." It contains 1177 pages of NASA manuals, and a couple rules. Even though I have no time to play TTRPGs any more, it's absolute artistic perfection.
This is perfect for anyone into improv. And it's an absolute scam, where the reader is in on the con and thus can enjoy it. And you get a unique physical artifact!
Utterly brilliant.
I picked up a copy for myself as a birthday gift for turning 47. The numerical coincidence gave me all the cover I needed.
Also got my copy signed by Tim at Big Bad Con when I joined a playtest he was running for a different game. It was a beast to carry around, but yes, it's a delightful conversation piece and expression of exuberant excess.

December 22, 2017 – Donald Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act into law. The legislation, which costs $1.5 trillion, cut the corporate tax rate to its lowest point since 1939, temporarily lowered tax rates for individuals, and repealed the Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate.

While economists were split, often along party lines, about the effect of the tax cut, Goldman Sachs’ chief United States political economist, Alec Phillips, said, “We note the effect in 2020 and beyond looks to be minimal and could actually be slightly negative.”

Quelques infos sur les opérations en cours :
"L’armée française va installer une tour de contrôle mobile. Le contrôle aérien sera assuré par des contrôleurs militaires de manière à pouvoir établir un pont aérien avec la Réunion d’où sont organisés les secours aériens. Dans un second temps, c’est également via la Réunion, voisine de 1.400 km que sera acheminé l’approvisionnement en vivres."
"Les droits et la dignité de tous les habitants de Mayotte, sans distinction d’origine ou de statut administratif, doivent être au centre de la réponse à l’urgence et de la politique de reconstruction", a rappelé de son côté l'association La Cimade."
Bref, la france, abjecte de bout en bout..

December 22, 2018 – The government entered a partial shutdown as Trump stonewalled Congress over funding for his border wall. The shutdown lasted for thirty-four days — the longest in the nation’s history. Trump’s action left about 800,000 federal workers without pay.

December 22, 2020 – With less than a month remaining in his term, Trump issued 15 pardons and five commutations. He granted clemency to three convicted former Republican lawmakers, two men who lied to investigators in Robert Mueller’s Russia inquiry, and four Blackwater guards who were convicted of killing Iraqi civilians in a 2007 massacre — among those shot to death were two boys, ages 8 and 11.

Hey. This will be my last month @xata. I'm taking a year off to try my hand at building Table Slayer: software to create animated battle maps for in person RPG games.
Wish me luck! Feel free to sign up to the beta if you want early access when I'm ready. Here's a blog post about why I'm building it.
I'll likely start posting a bit more on my socials now that I have something fun to talk about.
Does higher price really mean a better tripod?
Let's see what happens to these two carbon fibre tripods when I play with them in the ice and snow.
#WhereHowardGoes #Photography #Tripod #KAndF #KAndFConcept #KentFaith #3LeggedThing
I had an older tripod which snapped because the plastic used in the mount became brittle in the cold and when I tightened one of the screws, it just broke open.
I'm having much more hope for these though. But it will depend on how the materials also react to the cold in terms of expansion and contraction, which might make the screws more difficult to turn.
We shall see.
#ReleaseSunday and already second #GenArtAPI update this week, plus the addition of a new platform adapter package for publishing artwork to editart.xyz (ready ahead of #Genuary2025 😉)... (cc/ @pifragile)
This new release (all packages at v0.19.0 now) also includes several updates to API docs and adapter readme's:
- github.com/thi-ng/genart-api
- github.com/thi-ng/genart-api/t…
- github.com/thi-ng/genart-api/t…
All implementations are WIP (but fully functional, to the best of my knowledge!). If there's demand, I'm considering adding more parameter type adaptations also for the EditArt adapater (e.g. to support vector/XY params, as already done for the Layer adapter...)
Since I've been told "people/artists don't read anymore", tonight I'm starting to record a video walkthrough, wish me luck! :)

in reply to Egon Willighagen • • •today I have been working on the reporting, and run the updated curation tests on other sets, e.g. for LIPID MAPS, and the full IEM collection. E.g. more reports in Markdown.
I also worked on the @wdscholia page of Prof. Clara van Karnebeek (orcid:0000-0003-3352-5631), who does not have a Wikipedia page yet (hint, hint). scholia.toolforge.org/author/Q… Prof. Karnebeek is one of the people behind MetaKids and has an amazing track record in research into the metabolic disorders.
