Warm regards to Hypatia and to all the keepers of books from Ancient Egypt to this present moment.
If you live in a state where books are being banned, the Brooklyn Public Library offers a free eCard nationwide to those aged 13 to 21 to access their entire digital catalog for one year in an effort to combat this horrendous act.

i mean the thing is if you just looked at "this person is head of {x} company and {x} company has done this impressive thing," i get how maybe - maybe - you might attribute that to the person

(though i still think this requires unforgivable naivete about how capitalism works)

but every time - and not just recently - Musk opened his mouth, he said something OBVIOUSLY ridiculous that betrayed he was a fantasist not a technologist

he NEVER had coherent proposals, just wild ideas. BAD, wild ideas

Man if only there were some kind of popular song about people overreacting to balloons and interpreting them as military action in need of response. Maybe in german

All tech people should be forced to test their fancy new software on 5-year-old hardware with a rural internet connection.

Neelix won’t actually eat me.

The Kazon don’t actually look ridiculous (actually, yes, they do).

Plucked from the archives.

Spotted this bit of overgrowth taking a roundabout way to visit @pauline one day.

It took a few passes under different weather conditions over 1-2 months before I was able to capture what I wanted in-camera.

I fantasize about going back and exposing some 4x5 sheets, but I’d need to set up in the middle of the road, right after a tight turn. Photographers die for dumb like that.

I think this one would be fun to print very large.

Shameful to see the College Board cave to the demands of DeSantis and white supremacists, especially as we kick off Black History Month. Just shameful.

I’m scheduled for Orchiectomy next week and I’m super excited, but I just got my cost estimate and it’s going to be $8,500 😱

So if you want to help a trans girl out, I have my Venmo and Cash App on Link.tree linktr.ee/danirabbit 💕

Anything helps. Thank you!

Back in the Before Time, I was an occasional camera operator at the Community Cable Corporation. The control room and headset chatter in these videos gave me flashbacks.

That’s something I haven’t thought about in 30 years. Good feels. 😊

Basic models of flocking behavior are controlled by three simple rules: 1) separation: avoid crowding neighbours (short range repulsion); 2) alignment: steer towards average heading of neighbors; 3) cohesion: steer towards average position of neighbors (long range attraction). With these three simple rules, the flock moves in an extremely realistic way.
