“Bob Wing, a grassroots organizer, explains this nicely: “If winning feels impossible, then righteousness can seem like the next best thing.” But righteousness is not conducive to getting normies to join your team if your team cannot demonstrate ability to, at least sometimes, win. Nor does righteousness help you make real inroads with regular people.”

While continued vigilance a regulation is needed, this data indicates that regulations are working to reduce PFAS concentrations in marine ecosystems.

Stable. It's originally intended as a world-building tool and generates systems at random for use in the timescale of stories involving Humans, but I suspect if people go even a tiny bit juggling-lab on the next version they will figure out ways of making evolution happen.

If you have a version of Matlab after we think about 2023, it Does Not Work because updated Matlab thinks it's written backwards or something and yells about how fprintf isn't a real command. 122 times. V1.1 works and generates systems reliably BUT it's 23 files and you have to load all of them and actually saving the output is a bit sticky. I'm currently writing up a me-proof step-by-step with screenshots for Windows 10, and the next task is gonna be finding a place to host this that isn't riddled with AI. I'm also going to be taking this as an opportunity to hit up the people who have offered help with that...

In that process, Angel Ortiz was framed as hired labor instead of a collaborator, even though his work remains visible on paintings, sculptures, and objects shown in major institutions today. Angel has said openly that race played a role in his erasure, and photographer Clayton Patterson has explained how institutions chose a simpler version of the story that centered one white artist and removed a Puerto Rican collaborator. Angel Ortiz is still working as an artist today, and the time has come for the art world to give him clear credit for the work he helped create…yuliaxgon

Matlab is pretty mysterious to me too but I'm working on making me-proof instructions for running the generator.

Capitalism is the economic system where most of the means of production (i.e. everything people need to have to make the stuff that everyone wants) are owned by private individuals or corporations, who then hire people to provide the labor necessary to produce things, with the intent of selling the output at a profit. It’s the difference between “you’re a carpenter and you make a chair and you sell it” and “you’re Richard Q. Richington who owns a chair factory, and you pay people to sell the chairs you paid other people to make and then all the excess money goes back to you.” There have been Richard Q. Richingtons on and off throughout history, but that being the norm for every single industry is a pretty recent development.
