"Across the country, libraries are using culinary programs to evolve beyond traditional book-lending, adapt to users’ needs, and reshape themselves into contemporary centers of community. Events have generally centered on cookbook or food memoir discussions, perhaps sharing dishes connected to the title, but libraries are increasingly expanding this concept."

This toot fosstodon.org/@interlisp/11512… led me via a reference to Edmund C. Berkeley (as coauthor with L. Peter Deutsch of "The LISP Implementation for the PDP-1 Computer", March 1964 and author of "Giant Brains, or Machines that Think", 1949) to the 1950 2-bit relay computer Simon and then to Harry Porter's Relay Computer:

Margaret Atwood claps back to having The Handmaid’s Tale banned from Alberta schools by the UCP.

It’s so good.

The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Margaret E. Atwood's verified account on X.com. The tweet is a satirical piece of literature, humorously titled "The Handmaid's Tale," intended for seventeen-year-olds in Alberta schools. It contrasts the fictional characters John and Mary with those in Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale," highlighting their virtuous behavior and the Minister of Education's perceived oversight. The tweet humorously criticizes the Minister's view of teenagers, suggesting they are "stupid babies." It also pokes fun at the characters' religious beliefs and capitalist practices, referencing Ayn Rand and "The Fountainhead." The tweet concludes with a reference to Danielle Smith's situation, adding a layer of satire. The tweet has garnered 56K views and was posted at 12:22 PM on August 31, 2025.

Terrible picture of this moth, grabbed in the dark undergrowth, but still enough detail in the tail to make a reasonable guess at the ID 🧐

Seems to be a common marble or dark strawberry tortrix (Celypha [Syricoris] lacunana; Gebänderter Wickler in 🇩🇪).

It is indeed a very common moth, including in our garden, but apparently not happy with having macro lenses shoved in their faces 🤷‍♂️

From @sergio.chapa in 2023: Given a pace of about three miles per hour, it would take roughly 32 hours to hike the entire trail nonstop. Hiking about eight hours per day means less than a week of hiking and camping.

Americans would shrug if the government decreed that every car must cost $4 million, but Americans would lose their minds if Ford started selling cars for $4 million.



When exploring RPG mechanics and playstyles, two concepts frequently come to mind: immersion and authoring. These approaches are central to how we experience and create stories, yet they lead to profoundly different player experiences.

Hmm… 47 Mrd. pro Jahr kostet das Bürgergeld, rund 200 Mrd. pro Jahr entgehen dem Staat durch Steuerhinterziehung. Hat Merz eigentlich schon gegen Steuerkriminelle (ich sage bewusst nicht „-sünder“) geätzt?

Und während die entgangenen , gestohlenen 200 Mrd. Steuergelder hier im Land keinerlei Wirkung mehr entfalten können, weil das Geld schlicht woanders ist, halten die 47 Mrd.

U.S. suspends visas for Palestinian passport holders, officials say.


August 31, 2025 ~4:20pm

The Trump administration has enacted a sweeping suspension of approvals of almost all types of visitor visas for Palestinian passport holders, according to American officials.

The new policy goes beyond the restrictions announced by U.S. officials recently on visitor visas for Palestinians from Gaza. Last week, the State Department also said it would not issue visas to Palestinian officials to attend the annual U.N. General Assembly in New York next month.

Fresh Gary drop. This will be interesting to watch because he might be able to address some of the debate around taxing wealth, which I will add needs some sophistication in order to deal with the extent of political power, the very richest people and companies have.

youtu.be/gHrxoKEnvEs

in reply to GhostOnTheHalfShell

Oh absolutely!

A heavy duty cultural shift is what it will take, rejecting the whole concept of this level of wealth and the abusive sociopathy inherent to the system that allows it-- so they get hounded out.

I'm just aghast at the people who keep insisting we simply tax them as if a little legislative adjustment is all it would take to correct the situation.

in reply to Violet Madder

@violetmadder
Taxation is the start. If we in general understand that it is the first step reasserting our decision-making power and our autonomy and freedom from subjugation of wealth and their corporations.

It’s a matter of survival.

Hello folks on Mastodon.social! 👋🏻

I cannot see most of your posts or your profile by default.

This is because my instance hides your instance.

I am not ignoring you; I don’t see you!

Your instance is sadly a hotbed of scam accounts. There are plenty of other servers you can join.

Finding the right instance for your tastes can be challenging, but luckily, helpful articles explain the whole moving process. Good luck!

@PaulaToThePeople Is there any more background to this that you can link me to, please? I have kind of missed the reasons why mastodon.social is so bad. 🤔 And is it not part of the Fediverse?
in reply to HerrHerrmann

@herrherrmann mastodon.social is way too big, has unmoderated signups and is very badly moderated. That leads to a lot of problems for the Fediverse.

First and most obvious is the regular scam waves coming from m.s and other big servers with unmoderated signups.

But far worse is that such a big server is a big pain for well moderated servers: Moderators on smaller servers spend a lot of unpaid time moderating accounts and posts on m.s, while moderators on m.s get paid for moderating badly.

If a small server is moderated this badly, its easy to just block it as a whole, but if I blocked m.s that would probably lead to many people leaving my server and moving to m.s or another big, badly moderated server, because m.s is about 25% of the Fediverse.

Saying m.s is not part of the Fediverse is of course technically not true, but if you, like me, define the Fediverse as a non-central network, then a server hoarding 25% of the users does not fall under that definition.

m.s is #TooBigTooFail
