Sounds very useful. Not unlike things a business incubator does.

I do think the desirable range of services would probably depend on the type of business.

A "creative agency" would make sense for artists and writers and the like.

And there's always "marketing consultant", but I always kind of distrust that label. I feel like, if I'm bad at marketing, I'm going to be a sucker for people who are good at it to fool me into a bad deal. Maybe this is paranoid of me.

But complicated services are always about TRUST. If you don't really fully understand what they are selling you, you feel like you can't judge the quality, so you're really judging how honest you think they are.

IDK if this helps or not. 🤷‍♂️

@artnacrea @joncounts by 'polluting', I mean noise and unpleasant chemicals (that, for instance, kill native fauna), not just Carbon...

There’s a small lode of tungsten and tin under the forests on the slopes of [Tasmania's] Takayna’s Mt Lindsay, and the American and allied military-industrial complexes would like to get it.

@fesshole She's noticed and she thinks you're an idiot

I remember an interesting 3D space that showed just about every part of the fediverse.

I think it was this one, but it doesn’t look like the website is running anymore:

@yon @Kingu The Invisible Touch from a Sledgehammer brings back the Living Years.

@artnacrea @joncounts I hear from folks working with petrol line trimmers on river boundaries and spraying herbicides around tree bases in our Ōtautahi parks that they're doing so as a result of 'people complaining that the parks look scrappy'. Of course those practices are a) carbon intensive, b) polluting, and c) destroying important habitat... Makes me want to run campaigns to rewild many of our public spaces and stand up to those shallow prissy colonialists wanting everything manicured.

@mcc LLM, is I stole your work, and now you need to pay it, to access it!

@davidgerard Next week: "You know, it's highly inefficient that everyone has their own blood supply, just walking around inside individuals. Our compute campuses' add-on blood banks will make such outdated approaches unnecessary."

@robryk @msbellows @MHowell @ai6yr @cpsc_bot @W6KME @stepheneb @pmonks The philosophy in industrial rope work is You Do Not Fall. You place yourself on the rope where you need to be. Falling a metre is a big deal involving paperwork. The rope is a workplace, not a backup.

Recreational climbing, it's all bouncy ropes, we expect to fall many times per session, sometimes several metres.

All about the reason you're using the rope in the first place.

It was my privilege to write a column at Salon for several years in the early 2000s. The people who started, built, and nurtured the site were some of the best I've known in journalism, and the site reflected their values and talent. It's a sad milestone to see Salon close. https://www.salon.com/2026/11/05/goodbye-from-salon/

I think SYN comes first, not ACK
