Entire Palestinian refugee camps in the West Bank are being erased. Bulldozed, dismantled, disappeared. Here’s what’s happening and why it matters. mondoweiss.net/2026/01/israel-

如果把回忆装在相册里，那么一大本也装不下多少，如果装在u盘，小小一个倒是能装很多。但是，如果是我，相册可能还会偶尔翻两下，u盘恐怕这辈子都不会打开几次了。这么看来，相册还好些。
我家人逢年过节就要录像，拿着录像机在家里到处走，跟来聚餐的亲戚朋友一一打招呼。我以前觉得对着镜头很不自在，现在觉得肯定是家里人记性都不好，跟我一样，毕竟有遗传，记性不好的人就爱记东西，所以想出了录像这么一招。
如果以后家人去世了，这些录像，除了我看，也没别人会感兴趣。其实大部分录像都是很无聊的，过了缅怀故人的那一阵子之后，可能也很少有机会再想看录像了吧。
我希望ai进化一下，能让人走进录像里去，这样每个节假日我都不用邀请任何人，只要买两个菜，挑一盘最好玩的节日录像，可能我会想挑个家人一起打扑克或者打麻将的录像，只需要ai模拟一下牌局，能玩一晚上。

Exercise can be nearly as effective as therapy for depression

Link: sciencedaily.com/releases/2026
Discussion: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4

Scientists find exercise rivals therapy for depression

A large review of studies suggests that exercise can ease depression about as effectively as psychological therapy. Compared with antidepressants, exercise showed similar benefits, though the evidence was less certain. Researchers found that light to moderate activity over multiple sessions worked best, with few side effects. While it’s not a cure-all, exercise may be a powerful and accessible tool for many people.

Happy 17th birthday to the very best cat in the entire world! We adopted him a little over 10 years ago and he was my first cat. He was reported to be anxious with IBS but once in our house, he turned out to be the friendliest, most sociable cat ever. He’s also introduced so many people to the joys of and caused them to get cats of their own.

First photo of our cat Max in our house. He sits in a hallway looking at a brand new home just for him.

@ploum Hello, I recently came across this, it’s a year old so maybe you have written a follow-up, an apology or something ploum.net/2025-12-04-pixelfed-
You made it like Pixelfed is offending the protocol but Mastodon does many of the claims you make in your blogpost. The protocol supports many types but Mastodon supports note. The reason the issue isn’t as terrible is because everyone conformed to Mastodon

Is Pixelfed sawing off the branch that the Fediverse is sitting on?

I'm gonna log off for a while and shoot psychic energy at Metroids or something because I'm exhausted beyond belief with *people* at this point.

My parting thought for now: I've said for a long time that AI in general and LLMs in particular erode trust. Enclosure of culture only works if you can break trust, and that's precisely what slopware vendors have very effectively done.

"The man who pulled the trigger had been provoked, they said. It was not the killer who was a terrorist. It was the mom who had just dropped off one of her six-year-old at school.

These individual lies are part of the logic of death squads. A murderer can go free because the government controls the story. And then the next murder is all the easier. And suddenly this is normal & people simply disappear."

I'm reading now the history of the rise of Hugo Chavez in Venezuela (as depicted in the book "Comandante") and I cannot shake the feeling that his rise (and rule) are not that different from what emerging autocrats in the western world are doing (or trying to do) these days.

The tale & fate of Venezuela should be a cautionary tale for all of us... Let's see if we can learn from the mistakes of others or we'll be doomed to repeat them ourselves...
