I just have a smile on my face watching how the deepseek-r1 model reasons in response to my question: "why is it possible to equally divide 4 apples among 3 people in real life but not in mathematics?"! Quite fascinating!


“I hope they come out tonite,” says President Trump in the Oval Office as he signs a full pardon for 1,500 J6 prisoners.

“Just hours after promising to bring ‘law and order back to our cities,’ Trump pardoned more than a thousand January 6th rioters and put violent offenders right back in our neighborhoods – people who assaulted police officers, destroyed property, and tried to overturn our freedom to vote.” - Stand Up America’s President/Founder Sean Eldridge
in reply to Steve Herman

President Trump’s “actions are an outrageous insult to our justice system and the heroes who suffered physical scars and emotional trauma as they protected the Capitol, the Congress and the Constitution.” - Former House Speaker Pelosi

I just added the ability to check Go Train service alerts to accessgo.ca. For now, it's only on the Union Departures pages for the various lines. I'll be adding it to the pages for each station hopefully soon.



Attempting to sugarcoat the monstrous things that begin today would be dishonest as well as useless, but catastrophizing isn’t useful either. So I’m looking for ways to manage my own affect so as to resist as often as possible. To that end I am going to try to do a daily journaling exercise where I ask myself every day, what concrete actions I can take to care for:

- myself
- my family
- my friends
- my community
- the world

In that order, understanding that I will rarely complete the list.

If spite is a better motivator for you: they want us stressed and demoralized and despairing and isolated. Tell them to fuck off by living well and helping out.
in reply to Glyph

Also, apropos of some recent boosts, do not be confused into thinking that withering cynical nihilism is some kind of galaxy brain strategic understanding of geopolitics. If your “smart” analysis of the situation leads you to lay down to wallow and rot in your despair, and to drag others down to do the same, you are not in fact very smart or strategic; you have a disease and you need help. Depression is not a virtue.


This is psychological pollution under the guise of caring. Saying this to me, in response to MY work, is a classic mastodon experience. Express your despair somewhere else if you need to but understand that it is profoundly threatening to dump this into the mentions of women in science. It accomplishes nothing but forcing me to imagine my life under threat.

Hey! If you have #ADHD like I do, I think you'd like this session from Calm. It's very ADHD friendly #Meditation. For a limited time, you can also get a free 30-day guest pass to try the whole library of content and activities.

I can't help but laugh at this point for all the folks saying "I'm down with meta catch me on substack"
in reply to chosa

Substack has far, far less lock-in than Meta though.

They let you export your subscribers' list or even unlink them from Stripe, so you can migrate to a different platform any time you wish while keeping business continuity.



Trump qui termine son investiture sur village people c'est un peu comme Hitler qui finirait ses discours avec Patrick Sébastien : on ne pourrait pas raconter ça dans 70 ans a l'école sans que les élèves ne pensent qu'on se fout de leur gueule. Mais c'est peut-être le but...
in reply to BohwaZ

sauf que les Village People on pris part à l'investiture....

This is poetic. I just got an email from Robinhood saying that "Trump is now available to trade". It's a pretty damn accurate situation we find ourselves in today! :)

@jscholes This seems to be a Voiceover bug as far as I can tell - the ID should be all that is needed to tell the browser where to go, and that WC3Schools article (& other tutorials I can find) only requires the ID. As far as I can tell tabindex is only required where you want to override the default order of things when physically tabbing around the site (with the tab key)
in reply to NV Access

A `tabindex` value of `"-1"` either:
1. removes an element from the tab order; or
2. makes an element programmatically focusable when it isn't already.

The second category is what applies here, because a heading isn't focusable by default. If you want focus to move to it (in this case by clicking a link), it should be made focusable via `tabindex="-1"`.

Report: "An Israeli sniper shot dead a Palestinian child in Rafah... in an apparent violation of the ceasefire agreement."

"& witnesses in Gaza filmed the Israeli army opening fire on a man trying to retrieve the child’s body."

aje.io/wcztyr?update=3454991

Decades of Israeli warmongering show a pattern of the Israeli military trying to provoke the "other side" into responding in order to use it as "justification" for further slaughter.

Good, because who needs it on Earth? I think elon is welcome to go to Mars and freeze there on his own! :)

Today we remember that the FBI, acting in its lawful and official capacity, tried to blackmail Martin Luther King, Jr. into committing suicide and we almost certainly would not know that for a fact if a bunch of hippies hadn’t literally burglarized an FBI office in 1971, an action which is definitely illegal.

in reply to Valentino Gagliardi

this is cool as I am looking for something similar up until now I was using <summary> <details> . I am a bit concerned that it might be a chrome only thing?
in reply to Valentino Gagliardi

do you know that the technique of the article is applicable only to the old way to do this type of collapsible section (eg. <div class='details'>) or it's applicable also to the <details> tag?

Myself and my good friend @bumble (who runs a variety of server types on the fediverse), are joining forces to offer #hosting for #GoToSocial servers.

It's early days but we'd be keen to hear from anyone who wants to try running their own GoToSocial but doesn't have the skill, want, or equipment to run their own server.

The aim is to simply charge for running costs for the server. We will not take any costs from this (unless we end up with hundreds of them!). We anticipate a basic instance for one user (or a small handful) will be 5 euros per month and the charge is month to month. You pay each month in advance, and can cancel any time.

All you need is a domain name (or a sub-domain of your existing domain). We can help with this, or help you buy one for a few dollars/euros. We will handle all admin of the server.

Initially we are only looking for a few people to participate. If you are interested send me a direct message.

Android 16 deprecates accessibility announcements, characterized by the use of announceForAccessibility or the dispatch of TYPE_ANNOUNCEMENT accessibility events. These can create inconsistent user experiences for users of TalkBack and Android's screen reader, and alternatives better serve a broader range of user needs across a variety of Android's assistive technologies.

What’s something you miss from the early days of the Internet?


in reply to David Goldfield

Yes, I have a pair, I've been using starkey since 2015. I tried out the premium advanced Genesis AI, but since voc rehab wouldn't pay for those I got the ones that were only a small step down from the premium advanced ones, I love them, I've been fighting for these for almost 5 years. I've wanted them since they came out, they are awesome!!!! I have one gold, and one silver and actually they were out a little earlier than 2019, but only for those who could pay for them, I saw them at headquarters in 2017 and that's when I decided I wanted them and had to have them. so I will be reposting this, :)

76 Years Ago Today For The First Time Ever a Presidential Inauguration Was Aired on TV cordcuttersnews.com/76-years-a…


Jenny had married Roger, a man much older than her. Concerned about his health, she decided they should have separate bedrooms after the wedding to ensure he didn’t over-exert himself.

That night, after the celebrations, Jenny got ready for bed. Soon, there was a knock at her door. It was Roger, her 85-year-old groom, ready for some romantic time together.

They enjoyed their time, and Roger left. Jenny was about to fall asleep when she heard another knock. To her surprise, it was Roger again, full of energy. They spent more time together, and he left once more.

Just as she settled in, there was yet another knock. Roger, as lively as ever, was back for a third round. Jenny laughed and went along with it again.

Afterward, she looked at Roger in amazement. "I’m so impressed!" she said. "At your age, you’ve got more stamina than men a third your age. You’re incredible!"

Roger paused, looking puzzled. "Wait," he said. "You mean I’ve been here before?"
