A lot of comedians are really smart. Not just quick witted. Smart as in, they read things, they know things, and they understand things. They keep the mask up though, because it's not as entertaining to know things.🤷🏿‍♂️

Sometimes they let the mask slip though. Here's Roy Wood jr, temporarily letting it slip that he knows things about hurricanes.

When Netanyahu is done with his genocide of Palestinians and is done with sacrificing the Israeli hostages the world will still have on its hands an entire population of genocidal men and women who enjoy seeing others suffer.

All of this was preventable were it not for the US and Germany.

@Tusky
Hi Tusky Team.
The #moshidon client has a very, very nice feature that allows you to track timelines from self-defined servers.

Is there a plan to implement such a function in #tusky ?

Was wondering if pocketbase.io could possibly be improved upon, then I found pocketpages.dev.

This might just be my new goto tech stack. Kinda hard to argue with a single-file backend, and by the time you outgrow it you can likely afford to transition away.

This piece on reading the Baby-Sitters Club books as a middle-aged man is pretty decent.

theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

I’m a similar age to the author, so as I read it I absolutely recognised that feeling of repulsion I’d have as a kid at the very notion of accessing any ‘girl’ content. Wonder-Woman, She-Ra, Supergirl, ‘girly’ pop music, books about girl things; I’d actively have nothing to do with them.

I don’t think I’m unusual in that. Perhaps these days, but not then.

As a middle-aged man, I would’ve saved loads on therapy if I’d read Baby-Sitters Club books as a kid

Boys weren’t exposed to emotionally intelligent characters in the books marketed to us. I won’t let my son be a victim of the same social taboo

📏 LA PARADOJA DE LA MEDIDA PRECISA 📏

🪵 Encima de una mesa tenemos dos palos de diferente longitud. Los vamos a medir con un instrumento que cada vez que lo usamos comete un error de medida aleatorio, de una cierta magnitud que llamaremos Sigma. El instrumento se equivocará más o se equivocará menos aleatoriamente cada vez que lo usemos (con un error diferente en cada caso), pero el error en la medición siempre será en torno a Sigma unidades. Eso sí, el instrumento está INSESGADO, es decir, el error es aleatorio pero centrado en el valor real; no tiene una desviación sistemática que ocurra siempre.

❗ Podría parecer que la mejor estrategia es medir cada palo individualmente… pero no. Gracias a una investigación desarrollada por Harold Hotelling en 1944 sabemos que hay una manera más eficiente de medir los dos palos sin tener que darle más vueltas de la cuenta y consiguiendo mayor nivel de precisión.

💡 El error de medida aparece en muchos instrumentos de todo tipo que utilizamos en nuestro día a día.

How the Chagos sovereignty deal shows the UK’s legal and diplomatic weaknesses.

The agreement suits the United States and Mauritius, but does little for the displaced Chagos islanders.
