"Weevils, long-nosed beetles, are unsung heroes of pollination"
"A special kind of intertwined plant-pollinator relationship, thought to be rare, is present in hundreds of weevil species"

It was on this day 36 years ago when @timbl submitted his proposal to CERN for an "information management system", precursor to the World Wide Web.
"In the proposal, Berners-Lee modestly spoke of wanting to use hypertext, a.k.a. links, to help CERN deal with information storage issues.

His boss’s response?
“Vague, but exciting.”"

From TB to HIV/AIDS to cancer, disease tracking has always had a political dimension.
As federal datasets disappear from view, scholars explain why it is important to collect and maintain this information:

From TB to HIV/AIDS to cancer, disease tracking has always had a political dimension, but it’s the foundation of public health
Without public health surveillance, officials trying to tackle outbreaks, identify threats and evaluate treatments are working ‘in the darkness of ignorance.’The Conversation

#AbrahamLincoln had a puzzling relationship to #religion. For several years I had the privilege of researching the role of religion in his life for the Lincoln Home National Historic Site in #Springfield, #Illinois. In 2021, my research focused on religion in the early decades of Springfield’s history through the period of Lincoln’s residency there, which had a formative impact on Lincoln’s own religious faith.

So #KDE has this thing where if you violently shake the mouse cursor (to e.g. find it) it will grow in size to make it easier to locate. It'll grow 2-3 times before reaching a maximum size.
I propose KDE makes it so the cursor just... Keeps growing as long as you shake it, until it covers the whole screen. And then just keep growing. To whatever max size Wayland allows.
HOLY FUCK STOP THE PRESSES
ive just been informed that if you keep shaking after what seems to be a max size... IT WILL CONTINUE GROWING
I MUST DISCOVER THE MAXIMUM
Huge win. Huge. Canadian Court upholds government restricting crypto bullshit use of electricity
"B.C. wins case for power use limits by cryptocurrency miners"
(Its not "mining" its wanking, nothing produced, nothing mined)
"The decision upheld an earlier court ruling against Conifex Timber Ltd., a forestry company located in Prince George .... The company was seeking unrestricted access to B.C. electricity."

B.C. wins case for power use limits by cryptocurrency miners
The appeal court ruled that B.C. Hydro has the right to act in the public interest – in this case, to protect BC’s electricity supply and contain electricity prices for ratepayers.Canada's National Observer
I urge going further.
There is nothing produced in crypto, no farms selling eggs, making a small profit, no furniture makers making cool chairs for a choosy market.
There are no eggs in crypto, no chairs, no electric planes built, not a single candy, no fertilizer, just counterfeit money.
REQUIRE crypto build its own renewable green energy source for 120% of their wanking needs, ALWAYS more than they use.
And data centres too.
No crypto use of utility power.
Counterfeit

A friend of mine posted this on another platform.
I couldn't agree more.
Thing is, we're still brothers and sisters 30 years later.
Tough decision for Dem Senators.
Vote down the budget bill and shut down the government OR fold and vote to allow the MAGAts to dismantle it anyway, which they are going to do regardless of any budget passed.
If you're got a lose/lose hand at least stand up and own the fight.

Try a different framing, even though I realize the legacy media will fail.
The Republicans will be shutting down the government. The Republicans are doing this. They are extremists using the budget to harm the American people and national security. Democrats should not collaborate. President Musk is shutting things down and disabling agencies while Trump is placing entirely corrupt individuals in charge of them. The framing needs to be on what the Republicans are doing, and not of Democrats who will not collaborate with causing damage.

There was a time, when I was an apprentice in the air force, that I could honestly name a hundred people who were friends.
Right now, I couldn't name ten.
Which makes me look at the 32, wait, 33 people, who subscribe to my writing newsletter, and feel like this is *cozy*
Then I wonder, at start point will I feel like my newsletter is a commodity, rather than friends?

ah .. but there is always that *maybe* that some really big influencer will notice your work, and suddenly there you are, with a 100k readers 😀
I mean, stranger things have happened, and some of those people with the million sales are neither good writers not nice people. So why not you, eh? 😀

If you are handy you can make your own with your kid, it’s really not that hard and there are lots of tutorials. It can be as cheap as you want and you’d spend time with your child creating everything.
On youtube there are channels like D colony or Texants that are very interesting for the #DIY route.
To get the queen you can check which species are in your area and catch some (I recommend more than one since sometimes they don’t make it or they are not fertilized) once the flights start. You can also ask local people for a starter colony since many times people have some from last year already with brood.

Mir ist es unbegreiflich, wie wir diese permanenten Unfälle als "normal" erachten können und daraus keine Handlungsnotwendigkeit ableiten.
Rentner die offenbar blind ohne suizidale Absicht Autobahnen in der falschen Richtung befahren, Lkws die Straßenbahnen "übersehen", Liste beliebig erweiterbar.
Ich bin nicht bereit, das als "normal" zu akzeptieren.
Wir brauchen endlich vernünftige Gesetze und regelmäßige Führerscheinprüfungen. Und an Bahnübergängen an Landstraßen womöglich auch die ein oder andere Schranke.

"Interrupting the rolling rural landscape with large industrial buildings is one of the most repeated environmental concerns from residents in communities where data centers exist or are planned. Even in more developed areas like Northern Virginia, residents don’t like to look at data centers."

Data centers are changing the landscape. Here’s how they may affect rural Virginia.
Opponents say data centers are uniquely harmful to their surroundings because of their massive scale, while backers contend that they’re no different from other large developments.Grace Mamon (Cardinal News)
