Babbitt , by Sinclair Lewis, is a satirical novel about American culture and society that critiques the vacuity of middle class life & the social pressure toward conformity. The controversy provoked by Babbitt was influential in the decision to award the Nobel Prize in Literature to Lewis in 1930.
The word Babbitt has entered the English language as a "person and especially a business or professional man who conforms unthinkingly to prevailing middle-class standards.

Dear USians,
How about you don’t call a Middle Eastern guy “white” and go on to tell him he’s “no better than any other oppressor we encounter” simply for trying to warn his Palestinian friends to not take any unnecessary risks and to be careful on Mastodon?
Also, apparently Divya has blocked me for this, which sucks because it has made it impossible for me to keep boosting her fundraiser, which you should, of course, still follow and support (link below).
I’m not going to …

Aral Balkan @aral@mastodon.ar.al You can support the Palestinian people without supporting Hamas. You can support the Ukrainian people, oppose Russia, and oppose American imperialism at the same time. Do you see the common thread? You can support the everyday people being oppressed without taking the side of any oppressor. 17 Oct at 08:51 Aral Balkan @aral An important note to my Palestinian friends in Gaza: please do not favourite, boost, share, or otherwise show support publicly for any…
Shantini @shantini@techhub.social @aral oh look another white man giving patronizing advice to marginalized people. Check your privilege. And when multiple brown people call you out, don't write an essay. Check your privilege again. Sit with it. Or you are no better than any other oppressor we encounter. Aral Balkan @aral @shantini Thanks, Shantini. I'll let my Turkish parents know I'm a white man now. Do fuck off.

Ilford Pan 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A black-and-white photo of a brick wall with a paper sign attached. The sign, written in Chinese, reads “Paint not dry. Please do not approach.” It’s placed near a doorway, with part of the interior visible, including a large container. The scene suggests a cautionary moment in a residential or public space, with the sign warning passersby to avoid contact with freshly painted surfaces. 中文替代文字： 这是一张黑白照片，展示了一面砖墙，墙上贴有一张纸质告示。告示用中文写着：“油漆未干，请勿靠近。”告示位于一扇门附近，门内可…
Ilford Pan 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A black-and-white image showing three large containers. The left container is filled with used disposable cameras, film canisters, and plastic packaging. The middle container is sealed with a lid. The right container is open and contains a liquid substance, possibly water or chemicals, with residue on its inner walls. The scene appears to document the disposal or recycling of analog photography materials. 中文替代文字： 这是一张黑白图像，展示了三个大型容器。左侧容器中装有使用过的一次性相机、胶卷罐和塑料…
Ilford Pan 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A black-and-white photo of a narrow alleyway with brick walls on both sides. The alley is paved with tiles and leads to a brightly lit exit in the distance. Several bicycles are parked along the walls, casting shadows on the ground. The lighting creates a dramatic contrast between the dark interior and the bright light at the end, emphasizing depth and texture. The scene feels quiet and urban, with a sense of solitude and anticipation. 中文替代文字： 这是一张黑白照片，展示…

The photo captures a moment of everyday city life with a mix of natural and man-made elements. 中文替代文字： 这是一张黑白城市街景照片。前景中，一个带…

The other week we went to a Spirit Halloween and it had this creepy subway setup in the middle of the store where you could sit and it would make weird noises and such. The huge rat man was a nice touch.

Man-in-the-Middle Proof-of-Concept via Krontiris' Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman Over COSE (EDHOC) in C
This report presents some technical details on the authentication process of a lightweight key exchange protocol, paying attention on how Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks could undermine its security, e.g., under the scope of lawful interception and its risk to facilitate mass surveillance. We focus only on some technical aspects associated to the attack scenario. Perspectives for future work are also discussed. Other specific aspects of the work, mainly focusing on the security implications of…

The image features a man in a suit, presumably giving a presentation. He stands in front of a white board with the words "5,000 Year Mortgages" written on it. The man is the central figure, and his posture suggests he is in the middle of speaking, gesturing with both hands open. He is wearing a dark blue suit with a white shirt and a dark tie. The background setting appears to be an office or a similar interior space. There is a lamp visible on the left side of the frame, partially obscured, w…

Claude Sonnet 4.5 describes the image as: "This image appears to be from the British science fiction television series "Blake's 7" (1978-1981). The scene shows three characters in what looks like a dimly lit spacecraft interior or similar enclosed setting. The composition features a blonde woman on the left wearing dark clothing with lace detailing, engaged in conversation with two men. One man stands in the middle background, while another is positioned on the right wearing a dark high-collare…

Claude 3.7 describes the image as: "I can see a close-up portrait of a middle-aged man wearing a blue uniform with a black undershirt, which appears to be from a science fiction television production. The image shows professional lighting and appears to be from a television broadcast or film production, likely from the 1960s or 1970s based on the video quality and color grading. The setting appears to be an indoor studio environment with a blurred background, typical of television production f…

Claude Haiku 4.5 describes the image as: "I can see this is a black and white photograph of a man in what appears to be a television or film setting. He's wearing a distinctive embroidered or patterned jacket over a dark shirt, suggesting this may be from a science fiction production given the stylized costume design. The lighting and image quality suggest this is from a mid-to-late 20th century production. The man has dark, curly hair and appears to be in the middle of speaking or reacting to…
