Solidarity! Second kid got a lot less out in the album but maybe I’ll get there still!
Robert Moses hating NYer here. My favorite story about Robert Moses is that his funeral mass was on the south shore of long island and he was buried in the fucking bronx, making all of his funeral attendees drive on his shitty ass roads filled with traffic to stick it to his loved ones one last time
Very sorry to hear, your mother sounds wonderful 💙
Oooo if you can go to Dishoom and get the haggis pau, highly recommend!
I'm sorry. As a technology writer, I'm supposed to be telling you that this bet will some day pay off, because one day we will have shoveled so many words into the word-guessing program that it wakes up and learns how to actually do the jobs it is failing spectacularly at today. This is a proposition akin to the idea that if we keep breeding horses to run faster and faster, one of them will give birth to a locomotive. Humans possess intelligence, and machines do not. The difference between a human and a word-guessing program isn't how many words the human knows. I'm sorry. I know that when we talk about "digital sovereignty," we're obliged to talk about how we can build more data-centres that we can fill up with money-losing chips from American silicon monopolists in the hopes of destroying as many jobs as possible while blowing through our clean energy goals and enshittifying as much of our potable water as possible.

Absolutely fantastic, what an amazing job!!
Loved this newsletter edition. It was very entertaining and also dove into TimberBiel and Costner shenanigans (separate). Sign up for their newsletter! There’s a free tier, but the paid ones are very reasonable.

In one of our archive strong rooms there is a shelf. The shelf does not contain the most exciting or interesting item in the archive but it does contain something amazing.

Can’t believe I missed this story!
Space missions are still going, because celestial mechanics wait for no man. Europa Clipper flew by Mars on its way to Jupiter and got some great science data. The spacecraft will get to Jupiter no matter what. Here's hoping there are still workers on Earth ready to discover what it finds there.
All the data from Mars Global Surveyor and all of NASA's other deep-space missions was bought and paid for by the public. Collected, validated, processed, and analyzed by federal workers or researches funded by federal grants. And is archived on public servers maintained by federally funded workers.
Neat! NASA just released a thermal image of Mars taken by the Jupiter-bound Europa Clipper spacecraft. Their story is here; I'll provide some context in following posts.

Thank you Portugal!
A quote by Terry Pratchett - J.R.R. Tolkien has become a sort of mountain, appearing in all subsequent fantasy in the way that Mt. Fuji appears so often in Japanese prints. Sometimes it’s big and up close. Sometimes it’s a shape on the horizon. Sometimes it’s not there at all, which means that the artist either has made a deliberate decision against the mountain, which is interesting in itself, or is in fact standing on Mt. Fuji.
They’re gorgeous!
And such a good one too!!
NEXT DAY REPOST. If you cried while reading this you legally have to tell me 🫵
It is in your best interest to read this intensely moving, meticulously researched piece on queer Edwardian lives and love in the wake of tragedy. Thank you @tchotchke.bsky.social for breaking this story!

A new month. Spring is springing. Times, they are a-changing, and may we live to see them get better.
For the month of International Woman's day, left to right we have: Auntie, Archie, Zheng, Mary Allamby Bonnet, Livvy the Seagull, Spanish Jackie, Mary Read and Anne Bonny

The fatality rate for bird flu in cats is staggeringly high (up to 90% depending on the study).
Outdoor cats are at highest risk.
Keep your cats inside. Don’t feed them raw food. Keep them away from birds (especially water birds). Wash your hands thoroughly if you’ve been in contact with livestock
Readdddd!!!!
