@karlauerbach@sfba.socialAs one might expect El Cheato appointed judges rule in favor of trump far more often than do judges appointed by prior presidents.
But the amount of that imbalance is beyond astounding.
From the NY Times:
"Trump’s ‘Superstar’ Appellate Judges Have Voted 133 to 12 in His Favor"
Which causes me to repeat my suggestions, from year 2020, about how we can remove power from those judges by using a technique well practiced elsewhere - redefining jobs and "rubb…

@kerstinsailer@sciences.socialAn incredibly important read on inclusive workplace design
"Inclusivity begins with the basics of workplace design. (...) Before you talk about “next-gen workplace experience,” ask yourself: can everyone see, hear, move, breathe and focus here without struggle?"

@timbray@cosocial.caSitting here writing, idly watching the #Bitcoin bulls&bears dragging the price back and for across the said-to-matter $90K line. I don’t know who these people are but I’m sure there are chat-rooms where the ones who can influence the price (bulls mostly) strategize on how best to do so.
There’s a line of thought that says that the value of Btc cannot naturally be steady; too many holders…

@blackknight95857669@social.linux.pizzaAbout to go check out a mobile home nearby. Listed as a "fixer upper" for $15k. Most worrying is a lack of pics showcasing the 2nd bedroom or the bathroom. It is 768 sq ft, which is 3x the space our current RV "boasts". Yeah, we literally live in a box. Frankly, as long as the place isn't leaking or dry rotting hard anywhere and the 2 rooms not pictured aren't on fire, we'll likely offer on it and prob what they're asking. After all, home prices here are c…

"And now the day was spent, the hour stole on when one would doubt if it were light or dark, some lingering light at night's vague borderlands. Suddenly the whole house began to shake, the lamps flared up, and all the rooms were bright with flashing crimson fires, and phantom forms of savage beasts of prey howled all arou…

@sauer_lauwarm@mastodon.socialWithout exposure to the normal variety of bodies, we may become less comfortable with our own, more likely to mistake common characteristics for flaws—and more inclined to see every bare body as an inherently sexual object, making nudity even more charged.

@cheryanne@aus.socialIt's amazing how much of the fediverse you can consume in hospital waiting rooms between 3 separate tests. Just routine stuff so feeling fine but bored (apart from masto).

@gwire@mastodon.socialReading a Mail article clearly opposing the Chinese Embassy.
> “The proposals are said to include 208 secret rooms and a hidden chamber.”
What does "secret room" and "hidden chamber" mean in the context of building proposals? This makes it sound like some magical escape room attraction.

@outer@mas.to2027 is the planned manned moon landing.
Extende moon stays may require large, energized "shower rooms". For extravehicular personnel equipment. No demonstrations of dust-repellant clothes and tools have been done.
It will be a serious problem BEFORE it's fixed.

@gwire@mastodon.social> The same hidden room is fitted with hot-air extraction systems, possibly suggesting the installation of heat-generating equipment such as advanced computers used for espionage.
It's not that I don't think chanceries get used as a base for spying, but embassies have *other* reasons to need a server room - which, like all server rooms, generate heat.
