   This is New Jersey (NJ):

   Food banks have had increased demand for their services over the past several years.

   In the state:

   • 1 in 9 people (overall) face hunger

   • 1 in 7 children face hunger

   👀👀👀
   ~~

   Now food banks face ADDITIONAL challenges & increased demand during the #GovernmentShutdown —

   One leader said, “the longer a shutdown goes on, the more risk of harm there is to people who are living paycheck-to-paycheck.” 👈

   Lollipop man told to stop giving kids high-fives

   A lollipop man said he had been told he could no longer high-five children while they are crossing the road because it slows down traffic.

   Neil Cotton, 57, has been working as a school crossing patrol officer in East Yorkshire for about two years.

   In a social media post, he said he could not high-five the children anymore, because "it upsets some drivers having to wait another 10 seconds".

   I'm very pleased to report that I have been elected to the W3C Advisory Board (@ab), and I'll be starting my official term in July! https://www.w3.org/news/2025/w3c-advisory-committee-elects-advisory-board/

   As a result, I’ll also be stepping down from the W3C Technical Architecture Group (@tag) — a group I’ve had the honor of co-chairing for the past 12 years.

   In the AB, I'll be contributing to the W3C in a different way — helping to ensure the governance, process, and strategic direction meet the needs of the wider web community.

   In 2013 Musk said we would soon be traveling in Hyperloop capsules inside vacuum tubes.

   In 2020, Elon Musk said full self driving Tesla's were "Very close".

   In 2022 Elon Musk promised Twitter would remain a free speech platform.

   @sun @theorytoe That's a nice idea but it's not really true in the iterations that have actually existed for two thousand years.

   In the early Church, there were a dozen esoteric cults where different types of secret knowledge are required, all fighting each other, then these get written out of the history in the 5th Century or so.

   In the medieval church, the lineage that survives breaks into its own schools, all with secret teachings you have to accept, and if you deviate, we have to gather every bishop in the damn empire so we can figure out who to kick out of the club.

   The esotericism at this point is in the monasteries, where orthodoxy is often entirely forgotten. and you has people positing things like a 4th God (and example from the remote hesychasts.) In Ethiopia, they're still in this phase. Externally, they teach monophysite Christianity, but each monastery has its own esoteric insight separate from the public teaching. (This also roughly mirrors how Buddhism worked before the modern period.)

   Then you get to the Reformation and the rise of (Classical) Humanism, people try to justify a homogenous public doctrine from the oldest sources, which they do relatively well, although now everyone is bound to an unholy bloated bookcel canon that none but a few remarkable autists can possibly disentangle, but this new Christendom is dry, boring, and useless for the average man. No one really believes it except academics and low level priests, and even the academics wind up getting bored and deconstructing the whole thing.

   Meanwhile the Renaissance and the Enlightenment happen, we have access to older wisdom from Greece and Egypt again, and yet another esoteric current is born underneath the "basic" Christianity at the same time, based on a mix of authentic and fake writings from Plato, Hermes, and other philosopher mystics, which becomes the occult/left hand path: Rosicrucianism, Masonry, Golden Dawn, Perennialism, and you get another mini-Enlightenment later on with Europe's discovery of Germanic and Indian religion, and those all syncretize with the 20th century esoteric Christian movements to create things like Spiritism, New Age, Thelema, Satanism etc.

   @benis_redux Multiple factors prevent me from doing that the main one being repairs are cheaper than a car payment (fuck a car payment), also I don't know if I'm going to be allowed to renew my license in two years.

   In January I'm going to attempt a vision test and if I can pass I'll renew it which will be good for 10 years, and I'll consider buying a new car.
