I ask partly because I'm thinking of adding some (small, optional) features to Write.as / #WriteFreely that could help you write regularly. For example, formalizing #100DaysToOffload, so you could track your progress on your blog.

I am shocked that streaming platforms don't seem to do any validation on music submissions. This problem of fake songs and albums is rampant on Spotify and Tidal. And they don't even offer a report button.
@Gargron the number of times Tidal has said “new release by Athlete” and I’ve nearly had a heart attack, then it turned out to be some shitty apparition of electronica or low-budget rap…I’m not pleased
@Gargron @isaaclyman #Deezer has a report button but you get zero feedback if you make a report. Feels like shouting into the wind. Reported a fake single from #DorianElectra that's been up since July with an obviously not the artist album cover. Crickets so far.
Idag har jag avslutat den 3-veckors kurs i Etik inom design som jag håller varje år på Nackademin sedan sju år tillbaka. Jag har fått så många personliga meddelanden från elever skickade till mig under eftermiddag och kväll om vilken ögonöppnare kursen varit för dem. Jag är så jäkla rörd. Och tacksam. Att få chansen att undervisa i det man brinner för är en så'n otrolig ynnest. Människor är fan fantastiska när de får chansen och möjligheten att hjälpa andra. Det är bara galet att så många inte får lära sig att det faktiskt går att välja att vara snäll även i sin yrkesroll.
One should remind people that 1.5°C is a global average but temperature increases are not distributed evenly over the planet. Higher latitudes are experiencing greater temperature differentials. What this means is air that can absorb a lot more water which leads away all the available moisture in a region, and that moisture laden air is transported to somewhere slightly different and it might run into a cold air mass and drop it all in a deluge.
He estado en parte ocupada (satisfactoriamente, no a las puteadas) y en parte con un presupuesto de conexión muy reducido. Vienen las elecciones de medio término con Luna llena y el río muy revuelto (diría más, pero estamos de "veda"), ayer fue el Día de la Historieta, volvió el frío a las puertas de la primavera, y para sorpresa de nadie, estoy cortísima de dinero y con deudas y gastos.
Invoco por lo tanto, y agradezco por anticipado, vuestra solidaridad. (La Ollita Travesti está bien por ahora, fueron muy generosos los aportes.)
Pagar la cuenta de la luz y comprar un anafe eléctrico para cocinar son mis prioridades: $150000 argentinos (USD 110, EUR 94) debieran bastar. Cumplido eso, algún medicamento cuya falta no me mata, alimentos (estoy cubierta en cantidad y calidad, pero cualquier variación es bienvenida), y cargar la tarjeta de transporte público para visitar a mis hijes, que mucho les vengo postergando.
Pueden enviarme al alias angelastellamatutina (Banco Provincia/Cuenta DNI, desde Argentina) o, por acuerdo con un amigo de la Ollita, a kotopezzani@gmail.com (PayPal, resto del mundo). Como siempre: cualquier monto me sirve, gracias desde ya. Escríbanme ante cualquier duda.
No soy gran fotógrafa, pero disfruto de observar los brotes del arbolito que me protege de los rigores del Sol durante el verano: les comparto las imágenes donde como puedo registro su evolución.
A Bell UH-1N Iroquois helicopter flying low over the Potomac (seen from Violette's Lock on the C&O Canal), an eastern kingbird looking as if it's pointing which way the chopper went (but it was actually in a different spot and time…), another one perched proudly on a branch, and a grey catbird (all at the McKee-Besher Wildlife Management Area). #birds #wildlifePhotography
La formación regionalista celebraba este viernes el inicio del curso político en un acto en el que Ibarrola ha dicho que la estabilidad de la que "alardea" el PSN es "nociva" para Navarra
I finally found some late-summer dryad's saddle (Cerioporus squamosus) that looked good enough to harvest..maybe a bit dried out, but it seemed like bugs hadn't touched it. They were everywhere in the springtime, but I kept stumbling upon ones that were too far gone. However, I tried sauteeing one of the smaller lobes, and unfortunately, this one was also already too tough, so now I'm trying making mushroom stock in the pressure cooker. I gave it a good browning first and sent it off to the races. #mushroom #mushtodon #fungi #nature #foraging

@TripTilt Dumm sein ist einfach, dumm sein erfordert nichts von dir, wenn du dumm bist hältst du dich meist für schlau.
Ich denke das Hauptproblem liegt darin, dass viele Menschen frustriert sind, über Job, Wohngegend, neue Trends, Unverständnis eines gesellschaftlichen Wandels oder ähnlichem was um sie herum in ihrer Welt passiert.
Da sie Dinge nicht verstehen/ ergründen oder hinterfragen können/ wollen, suchen sie nach zu kurz gedachten einfachen Antworten hierfür.
The Bill Gates who created MS-BASIC in 1976 would have been mad as hell that the language, which provided Microsoft's foundation, would ever be open-sourced.

This is Behind the Blog, where we share our behind-the-scenes thoughts about how a few of our top stories of the week came together. This week, we discuss slop in history, five-alarm fires, and AI art (not) at Dragon Con.
EMANUEL: We published about a dozen stories this week and I only wrote one of them. I’ve already talked about it at length on this week’s podcast so I suggest you read the article and then listen to that if you’re interested in OnlyFans piracy, bad DMCA takedown request processes, and our continued overreliance on Google search for navigating the internet.

“I think that the way [HB 15] went down is a really good sign. We’re hopeful that it means it doesn’t come back again, and that we can preserve some level of transparency for all Texans, because they deserve it.”
