random question: what's the best mythical bird creature
Forgot to post this here! I've been learning watercolor and thought it was time to try a full piece instead of just an exercise. I am extremely proud of this guy.
For a while Mastodon and Bluesky were neck and neck for boosts and likes for my new commission piece, but mastodon has now pulled clearly away. Good job team!
I am all for the slogan that "billionaires shouldn't exist" but it bothers me in a nerdy way that we've pegged an abstract idea to a specific number. What is it about "one billion" that is wrong but "600 million" is fine? How could we define obscene wealth in a way that works across currencies and regardless of inflation? Is it about the ratio of maximum wealth to the poverty level? Is it about the inequality of justice? How does a society pick a number that feels fair?
(I am not arguing about the slogan, this is a thought experiment about the mechanism)
We're in a hotel and Sundance TV is playing law and order at 1.1x or so. We weren't sure if it was sped up but I have All of L&O on Plex and I could sync it up. The TV got ahead of the original version very quickly. Gross!
discord is down, to the failover zulip instance! (you *do* have a failover zulip instance, right?)
Re last boost: not a fun weekend for the oncalls, but it's really heartening to watch people jump into action and work together. No blame flying around just what happened, why, how do we fix it, etc.
Big disruptions at NY Penn station due to fires, but not my train! We're pulling right in! Should be fine
