Techno-Fascism: It's Bigger Than Elon Musk – Big-Tech Is Watching You!
📺 #fashism

Hi there, it’s Ryan Busse.
I’ve spent my life protecting public lands.
I’ve hunted them, hiked them, raised my kids on them.
And now, I’m watching a MAGA-backed billionaire wrecking crew try to sell them off.
Donald Trump is back. And with the help of Congressional Republicans, he’s letting Elon Musk and DOGE gut protections and auction off your land to oil companies and developers.
𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆—𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗳𝘁. 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝗻𝗲, 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝗻𝗲.
That’s why I…

I just gave to Public Land Warriors Fund (501c4)!

Watching a Coliseum documentary. The presenter is going on about how alien the Roman taste for blood seems from a modern perspective.
I'm not even slightly persuaded that's true.
20% of our population clearly loves cruelty.

We have been in Manchester at the theatre today, watching the new musical Come Fall In Love. Its not anything earth-shattering in terms of plot, staging, or songs, but it's lots of fun and brought a little bit of Bollywood colour and sound to an otherwise grey and damp afternoon.

Have been watching Your Friends and Neighbors on #AppleTVPlus . No masterpiece, and somehow fairly annoying, but still somehow I want to watch all of it. I often find myself fast-forwarding through boring bits, though.

I am 2.5 hours into watching a dance recital.

@… @… Yes, I’ve been watching the availability at my preferred booksellers, and it says “not yet available, will be published in June.” That’s why I asked; I didn’t want to preorder to avoid it being shipped when…

I am watching #psgars
I don't like football.
I also drink beer.
I am not a huge fan of beer.
But guess what? I love my wife, and she likes both football and beer.
And she loves me, so I'm OK with this boring shit. 😊
#football

As much fun as it is watching the Musk/Trump feud that was inevitable, let’s not forget they’re both still untrustworthy and dangerous.

Watching the latest NileBlue and the first thing that pops into my head is

Fascinating watching this orangutan tying a knot. 🦧🪢

Also just been watching a kōtare out the window. I startled it by walking past the window and then saw it sitting on a nearby street light. It then flew down and ate a few things off the rain slick road... worms, I'm guessing. Gorgeous to see its blue and gold highlights flitting around.

I still love the Minimalist Marble Machine that @… built...

When my wife and I are watching things, we're always amused at how many characters in TV shows and movies are named Tommy or Billy. These are obviously fairly common names, but the amount of times we've noticed it in all kinds of different shows like X-Files, SVU etc is so often that it's comical-- it's bizarre. And sometimes in episodes right next to each other in a season. Just a ton of fictional guys out there with these two names across age groups, all over popular cultur…

Fell asleep watching some Twitch livestreams of Dune: Awakening. Woke up in the morning, and they're still going.

Re-watching #NorthernExposure and loving it, probably my 5th re-watch, surprised to see Jack Black as a Cicely high school student in episode 5 of the 5th season. That is a lot of fives right there.

Okay, hopefully Kojima San can convince you :) #TheEternaut #ElEternauta

Maybe it could even guess when you've been around someone, setting aside blocks where your hrv, etc. seem to be fairly uniform...and one could then identify that block as being x or y (could be a person, ones pet, watching a TV show) and then it could watch for similar patterns of measurements and ask if you were in xs proximity again, over time we might find unique signatures associated with specific people, activities, locations?

I had to check my video speed watching Phallon but I was on 1x (rare for me)

Today we spend the first summer evening at Hafenkneipe / Donaukanal, watching bats and swifts hunt (and while swifts are amazing flyers, bats fly even crazier)

Watching films and reading books I find myself at odds with myself. I don't want writers to try to placate me but on the other hand the two of them love each other and should end up together.

Watching Trump and Musk turn off the NOAA data centres, threatening irreplaceable archives of weather and climate data and analyses. Remembering when Stephen Harper’s government shut down a bunch of government libraries and archives, including literally throwing irreplaceable records in the trash.

The Harper Government Has Trashed and Destroyed Environmental Books and Documents
In the first few days of 2014, scientists, journalists, and environmentalists were horrified to discover that the Harper government had begun a process to close seven of the 11 of Canada's world-renowned Department of Fisheries and Oceans libraries...

These people, so obsessed with their phones, with their ixian earbuds, watching short videos instead of scrolling through text Fedi like The Lord ordered… and what's even worse, they aren't even watching cats or other animals, but human "influencers"!

After watching yesterday's #f1 sprint qualifying I just told my friend, we are witnessing the birth of the next F1 legend. You can talk about technical/timing/race ability all you want, but it's quite simple. What Antonelli is doing in his first months in F1 is beyond remarkable. And the great ones always announce themselves like that. Beating McLaren's to the pole? Are you kidding me? Beati…

We've been pacing ourselves watching #blackmirror because there is only so much bleak dystopian sci-fi we can absorb in one go. Last night's episode was "Hotel Reverie" which was actually semi-uplifting in the end. Combined with the happy-ish ending of "Bête Noir" we might even get to the end of the season not totally depressed about the future of humanity.

Wife and I finished watching #PersonOfInterest for the 2nd time.
Fun series.
There are some goofy moments, but the middle stretch of episodes are solid. Great writing and pacing!

I am sooooo missing watching the Giro!
Please let us have round 2

We saw a friend finish an Iron Man 70.3 (half), and I had a beer in the sun. Turns out my kid loves watching races. It was a very good day.

Watching MURDERBOT ( the TV show )
It's not the books
But it's pretty fun. Particularly love the Preservation team, who are adorable goofballs, every one.
Still has the delightful combination of emotional competence porn (on the part of Preservation) and miltech competence porn (on the part of Murderbot)
They need each other in ways they don't know.

My buddy Avi Ronen from Lahaina Maui builds and repairs and plays guitars. He lost his house and guitar collection in the fire, but he’s still fixing them and playing them. He’s an awesome guitarist, worth watching his videos about fixing them. https://youtu.be/3GB0bgkoWJc

After Dr Who we watched Nonnas and that's a feel good Saturday Night film. I didn't mind at all not watching the European Cup Final, and given PSG ran Inter ragged I still don't mind.

Young Rwandans support bird conservation through mobile app recordings
A young tour guide and his group of student mentees are helping monitor bird species in Rwanda with the help of a mobile app, Mongabay contributor Mariam Kone reported. Joseph Desiré Dufitumukiza, who enjoys bird-watching, felt moved to take action after he read about the decline of native bird species in Rwanda, including the Maccoa […]

@… how is it, still need to start watching

Of course, my definition of binging is watching two episodes in a row and waking up drooling in front of the TV. So when I am saying Poker Face is binge-worthy, it means I am into my third episode for today. Time of the Monkey was better than Game of Thrones.

for most of the day I have lay on the sofa watching MobLand and it couldn’t have been a better day.

"For more than half a century, Argentina has tried as hard as it could to push intellectuals out of the country, committing a slow institutionalized suicide. This almost imperceptible rotting process is at the root of the decadence of what was considered one of the richest and most advanced countries at the beginning of the 20th century."
Watching the US repeating this pattern in real time is unbearable yet completely predictable.

The Argentine Brain Drain
Argentina is currently experiencing a brain drain so strong that it made the headlines on Swiss television.

"Despite its promise of no-code, Al-powered app creation, much of the work was reportedly done manually by engineers in India."
Reminds me of how Amazon's automated unstaffed stores were actually staffed by people in India watching video feeds and verifying what people bought.
Finnish context: Wonder if R-Kioski's unmanned kiosks use the same idea? And Starship's (Alepa) grocery delivery robots?

Bill Maher's "Is Anyone Else Seeing This" was unbearably annoying after a few minutes (who would have guessed), I made it through Bill Burr's "Drop Dead Years" and it was fine (I am not quite where he is yet) and I really enjoyed watching Ari Shaffir's "America's Sweetheart" (so _that_ kind of of white-privilege middle-age is #WhereIAmNow ).

On The Causal Network Of Face-selective Regions In Human Brain During Movie Watching
Understanding the causal interactions in some brain tasks, such as face processing, remains a challenging and ambiguous process for researchers. In this study, we address this issue by employing a novel causal discovery method -Directed Acyclic Graphs via M-matrices for Acyclicity (DAGMA)- to investigate the causal structure of the brain's face-selective network and gain deeper insights into its mechanism. Using fMRI data of natural movie stimuli, we extract causal network of face-selective reg…

Watching the markets try and recover is like watching a small animal that has been terribly wounded. It's climbed out of the hole it fell in, but are the wounds too much? Will it fall back in like it did yesterday?

Every other year the sentiment towards The Simpsons swings from "I don't mind, they're having fun with what they have, the show is even getting a little introspective" to "They should've ended 20 years ago, which is coincidentally when I stopped watching TV in general" either relative indifference or wishing the medium of television didn't make it through the 00s.

I remember thinking somewhere around the mid seventies that Springsteen and the E Street Band, was like a version of Phil Lynott and Thin Lizzy.
But Phil Lynott did it with a lot less verses.
And this was from this side of the Atlantic, it took a long while to appreciate Springsteen more, perhaps 30 years longer.
Maybe because I kept Van Morrison (another Irishman), so close from the early 70's.
And then again watching this 75 gig on BBC 2 I'm mostly thinkin…

Witcher story rambles (with spoiler)
I accidentally spoiled myself with watching some #Witcher videos on YouTube about the whole Triss or Yen debate.
The whole video game is apparently a fanfiction so I'm not sure why this is such a huge thing and why people bring up arguments from the book if half of the characters are actually dead in the friggin book.
Why did I want to get involved in this ten years later? 😂

Now in Delphi, watching the sun set over the "sea of olives" and the Ionian sea beyond.

We have been public about not using Go as the bootstrap language. We started with a compiler in C for a number of reasons, mostly for ease of bootstrapping but also to avoid making a compiler-optimized language instead of a general purpose one. Once the language was designed, we ported the code to Go for ease of maintenance and development.
Well here is a variant of that pattern: the TypeScript compiler is also being ported to Go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNlq-EVld70
The video is worth watching for the reasons why. Turns out a general purpose language is indeed a good compiler language.

Watching this episode I kept wondering how they recreated the Golden Globes so realistically. I assumed heavy use of CGI but nope. Just clever tactics and huge effort.

'The Studio': How the Apple Series Recreated the Golden Globes
Yes, ‘The Studio’ did restage the Golden Globes from Scratch. Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and team explain how.

I told my sister that I would give her my pickup truck in exchange for her watching my pets for my next two international trips. I just wish I hadn't ordered new license plates 2 days ago.

Great goal scorers see the field differently. They see opportunities, possibilities, and space. Watching the ball from Nunez go over and across to the left, Mo tucks in centrally and stays deep enough to then burst forward into the alley that opened. You can’t teach it. #LFC

When you're watching a Star Trek episode, and at its end, three people get together at a table in a bar, and the camera slowly zooms away without further explanation, and you understand what it means, and you get goosebumps and a positive warm feeling, I guess the director has done everything right.

Not been watching any of the recent Terminator movies but watched “Terminator: Dark Fate” yesterday on the plane and it was surprisingly good.

If you ever need reasons to use #linux and leave the usual walled bs-gardens out there... watch the video I stumbled across today. (sry.. its on yt and kinda long.. but still worth watching every minute)
as Gardiner Bryant said a couple times: goosebumps!
And wait for the dickmove that #Adobe

Watching all the Mission: Impossibles and I'm on MI3, you can tell JJ Abrams directed this one.

I love the #movie #SuperTroopers! I saw it in theaters when it was released. It is still funny today.
Today I started watching the sequel.
Now, I'm only 45 minutes into it, but just you wait. 'cause once the jokes start, it's gonna be awesome!

Looking at the teams that are doing their thing, these playoffs might pull me back to watching #nba. No more "it's about me!" overpaid overwhining stars left. I like it

I know that anything with aquarium on it costs more, but the aquarium tax for snowflake food is ridiculous. I've been keeping shrimp for less than a year, so maybe other shrimp keepers already know about this cheap alternative to snowflake food, but in case you didn't -
After watching some YT shrimp keeper channels, I've been feeding my neocaridina colony snowflake food a couple of times a week. They like it and I was almost out, so I was looking at the bag and realized it only has one ingredient - soy hulls. I paid $12 for 3 1/2 ounces of snowflake food.
I thought there must be a cheaper source, so I looked online and found soy hull pellets for mushroom cultivation were 10 pounds for $20. The pellets are exactly the same size as the ones in the snowflake food bag, and my colony eats them just as eagerly.
Snowflake food: $3.70 an ounce.
Bulk organic soybean husks: $0.13 an ounce. 28x cheaper.
