This is of absolutely no importance whatsoever (which is why I’m mentioning it here, of course) but I’m wondering why Sports Illustrated magazine is obsessed with women’s swimming suits? I mean, I get why really, because you know, women wearing swim suits, but in the Apple News app it seems like every day there’s another article with a bunch of photos of women in swim suits. Do they even have articles about sports anymore? Should they just be honest and change the name of their magazine?

The Unfinished Work: Why Artists Demand Proof of Life
A playwriting teacher of mine once said something that has rattled around in my head for decades: "You can write a play, but it doesn't exist until it finds life in the first production." The Chair of our department disagreed with that assertion, and vehemently so. The script is the work, he argued. The text is complete in itself. The playwright's obligation ends when the final period strikes the page.

What’s being sold as “AI” currently is slightly random statistical token chain generation; it has zero to do with thinking, intelligence or creativity.

Why We Don't Use AI | Yarn Spinner
We get asked about AI a lot. Whether we’re going to add it to Yarn Spinner, whether we use it ourselves, what we think about it. Fair questions. Time to write it all down. Yarn Spinner doesn’t use the technology that’s currently being called AI. We don’t have generative AI features in the product, and we don’t use code generation tools to build it, and we don’t accept contributions we know contain generated material. Let’s talk about why.

Ordinary Americas are stronger — braver _and_ better.”

Re: discourse about #FediSoWhite
I'm a white man. Was on Twitter throughout #BLM and gained an awful lot of free education from Black folks on there. That was the start of me consciously following diverse folks which is a strategy that's improved my life immensely.
Back on Twitter before the Muskening, there was a lot of diversity. Black Twitter was a thing, and not just first-world (anyone else remember "O jewa ke eng?"). When I went looking for people to follow to diversify my feed, I found them in abundance.
That's why it's so clearly false to me when people claim that the fediverse is secretly diverse, and why anyone making that claim sounds suspect to me. Sure there are a ton of great Black and other POC folks you can find on here, if you look hard. But it's nowhere near the levels of diversity and community that were on Twitter. Which you would know had you been following those people before, so now I have to assume you weren't, and wonder why you feel qualified to make statements about diversity even though you haven't made an effort to engage with diverse voices before?
Also, if you were actually following some of the excellent POC voices on here, you'd know that across different servers and interest groups, almost every group has had a discussion of #FediSoWhite at some point. If all the Black people you follow are independently talking about the lack of community and diversity here, you've either got to believe them or start putting on your clown makeup, and the later is absolutely a choice.

Why do people continue to use the honorific title "Mr President".
An honorific is endowed by those who speak it, not expropriated by those who desire it.
At best we should be calling trump "Mr." (although none of us have seen proof that he is indeed a "Mr.")

They are mostly just running around trying to catch a brown-enough-skinned person in a vulnerable moment. Bully cowards.
This is one reason why you hear about them grabbing random people out of cars, grabbing US citizens, leaving a car sitting in the middle of the street, leaving kids abandoned in the car, chasing down a random person and then suddenly dispersing.
