Given that he's in the Epstein files for being part of the late child sex trafficker's inner circle of transphobic weirdos, may I take the opportunity to share my favorite article about Steven Pinker?

Epstein Backed ‘Billionaires’ Dinner’ Network of Prominent Anti-Trans Figures:
(The network in question also tried to discredit women who accused powerful men of rape. Transphobia, homophobia, misogyny, rape culture: it's all part of the same phenomenon.)

"The events of January 31st and February 1st were an escalation of violence that has been ongoing in Portland and across the country. But what’s clearer than ever is the Portland community’s unshakable resolve to resist and stand in solidarity with one another.
Portland's resolve is stronger than ever. In the face of escalating brutality, people are still standing strong, dancing through the gas, and refusing to back down. For many, Saturday’s violence didn’t deter them, it made them more determined. Some of the first-time marchers said they would come back with gas masks of their own.
The fight against fascism continues, and Portland is showing us all that when it comes to resisting ICE and its violent tactics, they have no intention of backing down. This is just the beginning."

Watching Olympic stuff with the extended family. Pur commentary is a complex mix of sarcasm and humour across 3 languages, and amazement at the incredible athletics. Mens figure skating and now some women’s ice hockey.
Just saw a warning about this in Gmail, and I have it fetching from a few (legacy) accounts - any thoughts on alternatives? https://tidbits.com/2026/01/12/gmail-to-end-pop-fetching-and-gmailify-features/

The first time, it will send a Move activity so you don't lose your followers/following. Then you will have an identity that no longer depends on the relays, and you'll be free to move between relays whenever you want.

I like Mastodon because it allows me to doomscroll other people's anxious screaming 
All other social media platforms feel like I'm zapping through teleshopping channels.
Mastodon is like finding the button that turns on interdimensional cable.

p.s. 스티브입니다 ㅈㅅ; 매번 헷갈림 ㅠㅠ
내가 보기엔 이 사람은 현대의 금융시스템 자체가 완전 non-sense라는것을 알고 있었던것 같고... 기회가 있었고 (나쁜 용도로) 활용했고 그리고 도덕적으로는 완전히 망가진 사람이구나 싶긴함 요약해준 ChatGPT도 (누군지 이름을 안알려주고 대사만 제시했는데도) 이 사람은 의도적으로 자꾸 회피하는것 같다는 의견.
스티븐 배논이 진행한 2시간짜리 앱스타인 인터뷰가 유툽에 올라와있어서 봤는데 물론 전부...를 보진 않고 자막 요약을 봄 근데 ... 사람들 댓글에도 나오는데 무해한 평범한 너드 같은 사람이지만 실제로는 엄청난 악인 두명이 이야기하는것을 보면 많이들 현타가 오는듯... www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3QW... 사람들이 보면 시간낭비니까 보지 말라고 댓글을 달아둠 ㅋㅋ

The Israeli occupation’s Interior Ministry is moving to officially register five settlement outposts in the occupied West Bank, including Havat Gilad, which sits on privately owned Palestinian land near Nablus.
Official recognition would allow these outposts to receive state funding, municipal services, and access to national infrastructure, while also enabling expanded construction under Israeli planning laws.
Under Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, settlement legalization has accelerated, with 25 settlements recognized in two months, aiming to reinforce Israeli control over Area C and block prospects for a Palestinian state.
ah i see, the fork in the road was between "leaving bluesky" and "potentially misleading"

interesting read in defense of Nostr's architecture. really seems like there is a renewed battle between ATproto, ActivityPub and Nostr lately

i think detecting "does text look like a domain" was the intent of the linked function. but i think it's false positively identifying anything, even "foo", as a domain, because new URL("http://foo").hostname gives you "foo" this seems like nonsense to me
