There are a few people here I'll still probably follow, but I'm gonna do a mass unfollowing and head over to Mastodon, and turn off my social media poster. Catch me at @[email protected] or, of course, at Flutterby.com or Flutterby.net

Reminder that I've abandoned this for other places, because I think it's weird (and, yes, this is a test).

Hey @Zoom, I would feel way better about my upcoming subscription renewal if I wasn't gonna be paying extra for all of the "AI" hogwash. Would happily pay last year's rates without the LLM and calendaring stuff. And I'm actively looking for alternatives that my audience can use.

MATT GAETZ pins shutdown on McCarthy: “We will have a government shutdown and it is absolutely Speaker McCarthy's fault. We cannot blame Joe Biden for not having moved our individual spending bills. We cannot blame House Democrats. We can't even blame Chuck Schumer in the Senate”

Case in point: Did you know that the "sparks of AGI" paper takes it definition of "intelligence" from an editorial signed by 52 scholars *defending* IQ as "not racist" and making assertions like those in these screencaps: >>

Yeah, I pre-emptively turned off my poster a few weeks ago, but if you're still on this site, come find me in the other places, 'cause there's nothing left here.
This apparently marks the end of the hourlykitten bot on this site. It was a noncommercial labor of love and we hope it brought you some joy. Look for us on other likely sites, starting with ones that are less hostile to users and more hostile to Nazis.

"Your speech is only free if we don't think we can monetize it" is a hell of a take. I'm at @[email protected] and Flutterby.net and Flutterby.com if you want to find me.

For twelve years you've been asking "Who is John Mastodon?" This is John Mastodon speaking. I'm the man who's taken away your victims and thus destroyed your world. #JohnMastodon

Nazi ideology proclaimed that Germany and the world had to be cleared of Jews. See our online lesson about how the ideology of Adolf Hitler and his Nazi party led to extermination of Jews: lekcja.auschwitz.org/31_przy…

Replying to @IfBooksPod
"The problem is not David Brooks. The problem is the need for David Brooks" is one of the most withering critiques I've ever read.

One of the problems of looking at transportation in silos is we lose sight of opportunities to do truly transformative things. Widening Hwy 101, for instance, cost as much as electrifying SMART and running 4 trains per hour. Or, well, this:
To put this in perspective this could pay for: Electrification of all NJT lines, the Lackawanna Cut-Off Restoration, the Monmouth Ocean Middlesex Line, Northern Branch Corridor Project, the West Trenton Line, and the Passaic–Bergen–Hudson Transit Project and leave some change.

Dear freakin' every vendor: I am happiest when I have to put the least effort into completing the transaction. Asking me for my feedback and to complete a questionnaire after every single purchase makes me less happy. Thank you. – at Petaluma, CA

This article on the impacts of ranching on Point Reyes National Seashore is why I pay for local journalism. And why we in Sonoma County need to take a good long look at local agriculture. bohemian.com/the-befouling-o… – at Petaluma, CA
