I think we had given enough time for men to create a good society the past 6000 years. they got their chance. Now its time for women to rule the households, workplaces, every government and every important role. And take every decision.

And for men to be submissive uneducated house husbands who should be seen and not heard, and who should own neither bank account nor property, or even their body.

We will finally achieve peace and prosperity.

@TheBreadmonkey

Is everything ok at home?

Working-class voters have delivered a historic victory for Democrats in the midterm elections. Most Democrats won on wildly popular issues such as Medicare for All and taxing the rich. To be successful, Democrats must listen to the working-class, pursue these popular policies, and most importantly, deliver. If the Democrats crown Schumer as Senate Majority Leader, they are sending working-class voters a message of their own: that they have already wasted this historic moment.

We can chuck Chuck — Remove Schumer as Senate Majority Leader!

Decentralized social media for environmental research

A. Chai-allah, A. Ghermandi, N. Fox, D. Van Berkel bioRxiv · 10.64898/2026.11.06.764567v1 · ecology · submitted 2026-11-12

Abstract

Social media data are reshaping environmental research. However, recent ownership and policy changes on centralized platforms like Twitter/X have motivated many users to seek new alternatives while simultaneously accelerating data restrictions for scientists. Decentralized social media, particularly Bluesky and Mastodon, are emerging as alternatives for users seeking greater control over their data and as a more stable and sustainable source of data for researchers. This rise may be instrumental in revitalizing the role of social media in environmental research. This study aims to provide a first-of-its-kind analysis of the potential of these new sources for environmental research, demonstrating their potential usefulness through the examples of climate change discourses and people’s appreciation of wildlife. We find an increased adoption of Mastodon and Bluesky, with high linguistic diversity, even if dominated by English. Wildlife image content reveals broad taxonomic diversity, with plants, birds, and insects dominating the records. We find this pattern broadly consistent with that observed on the popular citizen science platform iNaturalist. Climate change discourse is found to broadly reflect the scientific consensus on both platforms, with contrarian claims remaining uncommon. This suggests that researchers may benefit from less polarized opinions and misinformation, arising from interactions that are less driven by engagement maximizing algorithms implemented in other platforms. Our study illustrates the promise of decentralized social media as a new data source for environmental scientists and paves the way for their broader use in environmental research.

@afewbugs The only things I can contribute to this thread don’t have such cool back stories.

I have a hand sickle that belonged to my paternal granny that I used to use to keep the mess of a garden under control until I could tame it. My Mum hates this tool due to bad childhood memories of grownups having accidents with them.

And OpGeek has a very cool t’ai chi sword that, while it’s long enough to be almost shoulder height on me, is so well balanced I can hold it no bother.

@TheBreadmonkey

it seems like a minor thing but I feel like the way that HN reacts to soatok's blog is kind of a microcosm of techbro culture

these people act all tough, constantly portraying themselves as fiercely independent, out-of-the-box thinkers, innovating and disrupting and revolutionizing industries, nobody can touch them, everything is about technical merit, no identity politics

and then those same people end up harassing a furry blogger over the art in their blogposts, because they're afraid that they might be seen as *slightly weird* when they link the post to colleagues for the technical content within it (which they will acknowledge is very good, ie. full of merit)

@Akki

I don't understand what this means sorry!

@ajsadauskas @tkchia @eri I genuinely don’t care if you view it as a great take or not. I’ve done missions, I have close friends and family that come from countries like those I’m speaking of. They would very much agree with me. You’re also pulling a maga strawman- I never said no one could be nor develop skills, but the situations I outlined very much impact that. People are largely worried about their survival. It doesn’t matter what context the author was speaking in it was still very privileged. Just because you don’t think it so doesn’t make it not so

@amiserabilist

It would be terrible

@amiserabilist I don't think I'd be invited.

@onepict Ancient lore!

@lowwhistler

Yup, the server mastodon.social is using the experimental version, but most people are on other servers 🙂

My favorite part of this @gvwilson proposal: One flag, one meaning.

I don't think "a set of replacement tools" is possible or desirable on this timeline, but a normalization layer on top of legacy commands feels doable and I can point to a clear reason to do it.

When I observe tool calls in Bram on my Mac and on Windows I see different sets of legacy commands. On the transcript's surface you don't see raw commands, you see intents: "Check the authorization record" instead of "sed this" or "Get-Content that". But when you expand, you see platform-specific commands and it's jarring to see the same thing spelled differently on Mac vs Windows. It would be very cool for the first expansion to show standard spellings with a next expansion available to reveal the native ones.

I'd love for someone to contribute that feature to Bram!

"Here, I think, is a nice, bright-line, administrable test for monopoly power. If your company has a dominant position and if it allocates its surplus capital to its investors and if that precedes a significant degradation of your products, then you have an illegal monopoly and you should be broken up."
