Good news from Utah: Judge Dianna Gibson blocked the state’s GOP-controlled legislature from enacting their gerrymandered congressional map, declaring it unconstitutional.

This comes as Texas and California are locked in a heated gerrymandering battle, egged on by President Trump. trib.al/JMgLPsI

> "The design of Romania’s educational system makes it perhaps the most stratified educational system in the world."

Nice quote from an article on education in #Romania that quotes interesting studies, describes factually some dyanamics, but is puzzling and problematic in its logic and, most of all, conclusions.

Vous vous rendez compte que là je vais aller me coucher pour aller travailler demain alors que je pourrais passer la nuit sur ce sympathique (enfin selon moi) dessin d’Hollow Knight destiné à un collègue ? Je dis pas ça pour vous convaincre d’abolir le travail pour me permettre de le finir plus vite mais c’est une idée hein je pose juste ça là comme on dit

J’ai pas pensé à prendre une photo avant d’offrir le dessin terminé donc la seule que j’ai pour vous le montrer c’est celle où l’aquarelle est encore scotchée sur mon carnet. J’espère qu’elle vous plaira malgré tout car ça a été très intéressant à réaliser !

I’ve said it before:

EA: l’anticheat di Battlefield 6 che chiede le chiavi del regno


@Informatica (Italy e non Italy 😁)
Il mondo del gaming si prepara al lancio di Battlefield 6, previsto per il prossimo 6 ottobre, Electronic Arts si trova al centro di un polemico dibattito sulla sicurezza che travalica i confini del gaming per entrare in quelli, ben più spinosi, della privacy e della sicurezza informatica




Former US Government Site Climate.Gov Attempts Relaunch as Non-Profit news.slashdot.org/story/25/08/…
in reply to Slashdot

there is also climate.org which was started in 1986 I think. This is a kinda cool "domain hack" as .us is for anything #UnitedStates related but it also reads as 'us' as in everyone on the planet.




"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:

By eighteen minutes in, if you can follow along, you'll understand how machine instructions (opcodes) work.

I've never seen such a succinct explanation of a 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 🤷‍♂️

Remember when Synergy Myers was offering AMAZING deals on life coaching? I snapped them up in 2020. My life has not improved since then, but it's only my own fault. I think I need another course of life coaching.

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.

But that’s not the path I chose.
