After careful consideration, we have decided to make some public that only few of you may know.

No company should be the CNA for their own products. 
bell hooks - intersectional feminist, 2026
Oil on Wood, 4.5” sq.
I highly recommend her book All About Love, and she has a book specifically speaking to men I’ve heard great things about The Will To Change: Men Masculinity, and Love.
“Sometimes people try to destroy you, precisely because they recognize your power - not because they don't see it, but because they see it and they don't want it to exist.”—bell hooks

Write literally anything and then start to edit it into shape. Nobody has Editor's Block.

Us: because your writer used AI?
Ars: Oh heavens no, because they used AI in a way that was so obvious, of course!
I upgraded my Shokz OpenRun Pro to the newest Pro 2 mini model and the difference in audio quality for spoken word, shape of the headphones, and smaller circumference makes them so much better for sleeping in.

'They "move fast" when they "break things" so they're not hit by the falling debris. Similarly, the real race to space, wealth, and whatever the tech titans think they mean by "sovereignty" is less a race toward some vision of techno-utopia than a running away from all the damage and resentment they're trying to leave behind.'
- from Douglas Rushkoff (
@RushkoffDouglas Rushkoff): Survival of the Richest (p. 158)
미 남부지역 부동산이 터졌으니 이제 침체가 오는건 꽤 기정사실이긴한데... 그래도 기다려봐야겠는데 여러모로 내년까지는 이사갈수 있으면 좋겠다... 물론 지금 다니는 블랙회사에서 안짤리고 안터졌다는 가정하에 (..)
All the "AI" products they developed would have been impossible without exploiting the creations and personal information of millions of people without their consent.
This is happening without any compensation for the hard work and data of the people without whom their technology would be impossible.
They are making billions from this exploitation.
Is this something you support?
@Em0nM4stodonEm 
“AI” first exploits people, then kills their jobs. Employees are being forced to train “AI” to take over their jobs. LLMs killed my job. #NoAI

Short musings on "cognitive debt" - I'm seeing this in my own work, where excessive unreviewed AI-generated code leads me to lose a firm mental model of what I've built, which then makes it harder to confidently make future decisions https://simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/15/cognitive-debt/

试着配置了kagi`提高或降低搜索结果中的域名`的功能
主要是 提权/置顶 了部分”技术,学习网站、社区“，降权/屏蔽 了部分“新闻,垃圾网站、社区”，更深入可以参考这个项目：https://github.com/obgnail/chinese-internet-is-dead ，还有就是kagi的域名降权提权是：图二
然后用的Custom CSS是https://github.com/kawaiier/awesome-kagi-css 的kagi-search-custom-css：https://github.com/kawaiier/awesome-kagi-css?tab=readme-ov-file#kagi-search-custom-css
Lens还没配置，好像是类似专题搜索吗？
自定义 Bangs也还没配置，好像是类似shortcut吗？
重定向开了一个^https://x.com|https://xcancel.com ，之后可以加上其他的自建实例和其他规则
Kagi API 门户还没设置，之后（可能永远不会）再探索吧
Kagi Assistant选的模型是Grok-4.1-fast(reasoning)，不够不加reasoning应该对敏感话题更宽容

账户方面，换邮箱、开2FA、Recovery-Code了

Blocked the whole https://mostr.pub bridge domain as I got more and more completely unrelated seemingly #Nostr postings as reply notifications via #Mostr, neither mentioning me nor being replies to one of my Mastodon posts.
Example: https://mostr.pub/objects/caa8284d2b3d066310fca801f102abf8f4bfae4bf66b80e33c34dd29340da2b8 (But this link just returns a huge JSON file if opened in a browser. 🙄)
Bug in Mastodon? Bug in Mostr? Both?

This general category of question from 
@griotspeaktj usiyan is something I wonder about a lot. For many/most human beings, hearing good information and even •knowing• it to be true just doesn’t seem to outweigh having bad information in one’s face over and over.
I know there will a Mastodonian urge to reply with “well ••I•• never succumb to that” or “Here’s how I avoid that,” and…good for you, I guess? (Also, really?) But not the question. The question is how we communicate to people who •are• succumbing.
I submitted a talk to speak about my ongoing effort to produce a HandlebarsJS but for #Django templates. It's called Django Template Transpiler —because I'm quite a boring person — and I believe this may have a place in Django's future.
I hope I'm selected. I never went farther than Germany 🤔

Western Digital has recently announced that it sold all of the year's hard-drive inventory to AI companies.
In other words, prepare for huge SSD price surges.

Yeah, yeah, I know... Y'all think you need AI to be better engineers. But have you tried estrogen and longer socks?
