@JosephMenn fwiw, it wouldn't let me access this one without a login. I was just barely able to access it via archive.org, in "reader" mode only.
I was part of the 45% of the Washington Post newsroom recently laid off by the economically struggling Jeff Bezos. Over at BlueSky, I posted free no-reg archive links to 15 of my favorite stories from the past four years. Thanks for reading! https://bsky.app/profile/joemenn.bsky.social/post/3mfn7fnnfac27
This is fucking with me fierce
E: the source captioned it!

Hello mastoart.social! I just moved instances so let me re-introduce myself.
I'm Ave, an artist who loves tea, cats and weird stuff with too many eyeballs >:D I'm also a pin maker and sell merch at conventions and online.
If you like bright colors and cozy art with a pinch of weirdness then my art may be for you.
Mastodon is my main social network but I am also on Insta and have a shop!

@greenpeace ...or, more generally, make mineral extractors1 pay for the cost of cleaning up2 the results of their extraction.
[1] especially including fossil fuels
[2] including recycling and reuse to minimize disposal volume
@dansup In any case, "freedom of speech" laws have nothing to do with how private venues choose to moderate social content, so that hypothetical argument is really kind of irrelevant to moderation on loops.video or any other fedi instance. ...fwiw.

Hey folks. I am currently looking for projects to work on in the coming months. If you have an indie game, ttrpg, or card game in the works and are in need of art, let me know.

@gannet This is interesting -- because B also has aphantasia, but he seems to really get into fight scenes. Then again, maybe that's because his fight scenes tend to be more about D&D-like scoring systems and less about physical action/location.
@catzilla Him [speaking as if to 5-y.o.] : "It's very simple: just have each baker do one third of the cake, and then it will go faster. Ever heard of 'division of labor'? Honestly, kids workers these days..."
@catzilla Clearly he needs to demand more frequent progress-reports until production speed improves.
@hacks4pancakes This is clearly why I can never be a real programmer: I wouldn't know what to do with myself in a bar. (I'd probably sit in a dark corner with a cola and work on my laptop.)
@grimalkina As a science amateur, I think I'd like to see more attempts to find similarity-clusters when studying groups (especially larger ones). I feel like I'm constantly reading findings that say things like "on average, response to X appears neutral, therefore X doesn't really matter" when my own (anecdata) observations suggest that some people respond strongly one way to X while others respond the opposite way.
Maybe this is already a known thing, but it seemed relevant to the distinction you're drawing here. ^.^
@servelan On further reflection, that site gives off some flags... and it seems odd, if they're the ones who asked Claude to review the Axios article, that they didn't link to the discussion...
...so now I want to ask Claude the same question, and see if its response lines up with the one they're reporting.
If the planets line up just right, I might even do it.
