   @Hyperhidrosis @Lyx This story led me down a rabbit hole and I want to get Fedi's resident lawyer @Humpleupagus 's opinion on it.

   So the gun used by the boy was a Davis Industries P-32. I never heard of the company. Turns out Davis produced a series of inexpensive handguns, which were sold primarily through pawn shops and marketed towards people with low income

   Then I learned that Davis Industries was sued out of existence.. I found this law research paper which sites that NYT article. It advocates for the practice of suing gun companies :kaos_wtf:

   @whitequark @esden while IPC is the industry standard, it is not common knowledge even for experienced EEs.
   Only a few people I know have actually read any of it.

   So for the librarians, we do training on the job.
   And we make mistakes, lots of them.
   But with reviews only a few bad ones make it into the release.

   @dalias it's a testament to how strong the cultural norm has been that if you're "anti tech" in any capacity, you're some kind of loser that isn't cool and can't keep up with the world.

   Pretty impressive how the tech industry completely colonized the culture that way.

   Equally impressive how HORRIBLE the tech industry had to become before we made a dent in that cultural norm.

   GenAI did it.

   So much so we're reclaiming "Luddite" as punk-as-hell (it is).

   Some folks still catching up LOL

   "Great leaders don't wait out the storm. They go dancing in the rain!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

   Imagine a child, maybe seven or eight, standing in the middle of a summer downpour. Everyone else is running for shelter. But this child? Arms out, spinning, laughing—feet splashing in puddles like it’s the greatest adventure in the world. No fear. No hesitation. Just joy in motion, despite the chaos around them.

   Dancing in the rain.

   That’s the image I want you to hold onto. That’s leadership in uncertainty. That’s resilience in action. I want you to see an executive, seeing all the negative news headlines about uncertainty, volatility, and a potential downturn, and instead of seeing negativity, seeing opportunity.

   At some moment in time, while writing this series, I had the idea of someone 'dancing in the rain' while the dark storm clouds of the economy surrounded them. That caused me to realize that the core theme of what is now becoming a book, Dancing in the Rain, has never been about predicting the storm. It’s about how you show up inside it. It’s about how bold leaders create movement - forward, focused, and fearless - when the world stalls in place because while others brace for impact, bold leaders brace for acceleration.

   In this series that started back on April 7, I've had 24 posts of stories, strategies, tools, and ideas. At every turn, you’ve been challenged to shift your thinking—from fear to action, from retreat to reinvention, from hesitation to momentum. Any time there is economic uncertainty or volatility, a mindset of inaction settles in. But my message has been considered with numerous lessons along the way:

   Mindset is the foundation for resilience. Essentially, my guidance is to opt out of the recession—not as denial, but as defiance. You learned that success starts with the decision to refuse pessimism and lean into possibility. Defiance is powerful!

   Opportunity never disappears. Even when the future is uncertain and cloudy, you need to see opportunity. That's why one of my most recent posts asked the question: "Where’s the growth?" The answer was everywhere! In global trends, in overlooked edges, in emerging science. You always need to remember to be able to see opportunity where others see only risk.

   Speed matters! From my posts on “Momentum” to “Speed Wins,” I've tried to outline why how fast action isn’t reckless—it’s necessary. Never forget this core lesson: leaders who move first shape the recovery.

   Your culture creates your resilience. The internal dynamics you establish in your organization - whether it's shared vision, collaboration, or shared purpose—are the real safety nets in uncertain times.

   Future-ready leadership is critical. You won't be resilient if you don't know where tomorrow will take you. Trend awareness, decision velocity, and idea flow aren’t soft skills. They’re survival strategies.

   Stop seeking clarity when there is none! In every post, my core message has been you don’t wait for clarity. You create it.

   So what do you do with my series? Hopefully, you will remember it and find it useful as we continue to go into a period of wild volatility!

   The fight against misinfo is probably the biggest fight we have as all other fights depend on people understanding their own oppression and enough about how the world works so that they can effectively change it.

   So whenever I see new ludicrous AI shit like this, I can only feel that the struggle for liberation is going to get so much fucking harder.

   Where do we go from here, when people think hallucinated videos that can be made to say anything have even the slightest bearing on reality?
