    My stepmother continues to have the creepiest and most unsettling fucking house ornaments I've encountered in my life. They've followed them through an intercity relocation. Like, there have been multiple rounds of Boomer downsizing, and these monstrosities have somehow survived each cull. They're here with Intent.

    The koala one is with me in the guest room where I'm staying, and I literally drape a large jumper over it so I don't have to look at it. 😬

    Good things that have come out of America have happened in spite of, not because of. I'm talking specifically about Morrowind and Severance.

    • Metacurity

    @metacurity not really. It's one of the *world's* most important and valuable assets, with an incredibly important mission. People volunteer to edit (and contribute) because they see the value. $20 million sounds dubious, and doesn't sound like it includes things like legal contingencies - what happens if one of its many enemies tries to take it down, through law or otherwise? I'd rather Wikipedia be *unassailable* over cost effective, and I think that does require a level of professional staff.

    • Cory Doctorow

    @pluralistic Guido van Rossom, inventor of #Python - one of the most significant programming languages the last 10 years - is another like Jimmy Wales. He formally relinquished his role as (literally titled) BDFL in 2018. It wasn't entirely smooth, but remarkably, like the factory owner giving the business to the workers to run as a cooperative, he turned the whole thing over to the collective and said "you decide how you want to self-organise".

    Very cool.

    This is such a gangster photo (c/o The Courier Mail)

    "Merle Thornton AM, who famously chained herself to a Brisbane bar in protest against the ban on women drinking in public bars, has died aged 93...

    In 1965, Dr Thornton and her friend Rosalie Bogner chained their ankles to a bar at the Regatta Hotel in Toowong, after a bartender refused to serve them."

      Merle Thornton, who fought for the right for women to drink at public bars in Queensland, dies aged 93
      from https://www.abc.net.au/news/antonia-oflaherty/13099594
      In 1965 Merle Thornton AM and a friend chained themselves to a bar at the Regatta Hotel in Brisbane in protest of a ban on women drinking in public bars. It became regarded as a pivotal moment in women's liberation in Australia.

    This "false equivalence" line about the ICC that's making its way out of a bunch of conservative politicians mouths, in synch, all around the world, is so dumb. Nice attempt to co-ordinate and spin the narrative, but there's a pretty clear equivalence - both have potentially committed war crimes.

    • Mark Pesce

    @mpesce is there any chance an errant Starlink satellite collides with another and starts a chain-reaction of low-orbit collisions, creating an Earth-encasing field of deadly fast projectiles that sets the course of space exploration back decades, prevents any new satellites from launching, and traps us here on Earth for the foreseeable future? Because I'm not gonna lie, that would be pretty funny.

    @phiofx I would largely agree with the sentiment, but it's worth highlighting that there were and are many first nations cultures that have lived sustainably, and there are lessons to be learned from them.
