Yeah, and the history lesson part was decent. But the whole thing only works as a parallel if genAI has the utility of the internet in the dotcom boom or household power, and even if I liked genAI I think I would find that specious.

Daniel @dznz.bsky.social · 11h

I don't get it, the parallels just don't seem that clear to me, given the massive discrepancy between the fundamental utility of electrical power and that of genAI. They were both bubbles, but am I missing something?

Maybe, but an altar is as much a function or role as it is a flat surface on which to work so.. 🤷‍♀️

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Doaa. Doaa is the mother of 3 children Omar, 10, Yasmine, 8 and Youseff, 4 but she primarily started this fundraiser to help her sister Amal who lost a husband and son and is trying to support her children Hiam, 13, Omar, 12 and Jawad, 7.

Everyone is giving TS such a hard time like "oh that line is not well written" and "oh that line doesn't even make sense" and "oh that line is actually disgusting stop saying that" but I'd like to see YOU try to write both The Waste Land and Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats

I mean, you'll have to accept its transience regardless.

Daniel @dznz.bsky.social · 1d

The fediverse is my long-term home so, honestly, getting mad at the mods here feels comforting, like, yeah, moderation remains a thankless task and it drives a bunch of folks crazy, and yeah, pick your forum based on mod team and economic ,sustainability, or accept its transience.

The way media and business have IMMEDIATELY escalated and wrapped around to attack activists smacks of the same tacit coordination that we saw in the US when the far right weaponised Charlie Kirk’s death. This is being led by government ministers & is a massive attack on free speech & protest rights

She did not smash the window. She lawfully exercised her right to protest. She got the Kimmel treatment.

One NZ cuts actor from ads over protest at Winston Peters' house

The activist, who gave out the home address of Foreign Minister Winston Peters and encouraged other pro-Palestine protesters to join, is also one of the faces of One NZ’s advertising campaigns.

i figure if i was an assassin i'd be pretty elite, arguably even the most feared and deadly on earth. but i worry what may happen when i decided to walk away from that life. would i be seen as just another loose end to tie up? probably. so ultimately i think forklift operator was a better fit for me

Im compelled to see a society that has soaked in vile ideas for generations. They've all been made complicit, conditioned each other into a monstrous mindset. Where does the world go from here in terms of collective rehabilitation? How could we help such a culture get better?

Example: valgus (caved in) knees on squats. "Roll" and stretch the inner thigh adductors and work the outer thighs by adding elastic bands to squat patterns. Let your body learn what that coupling should feel like.

Daniel @dznz.bsky.social · 1d

So you roll the muscles that are habitually too short (and only these muscles) so that when you train a few minutes later you can get your joints where they need to be to activate your muscle systems effectively. Temporary improvement enabling better training.

Daniel @dznz.bsky.social · 1d

Here's a fun thing i learned: foam rolling only has *rolling* while you look for the spot that feels the most intense, and then you stay on that spot while gently activating the muscle. And the point is that subsequent movement now has access to a different muscle length range.

Did a workshop on the weekend about human movement science and it's got me all excited to do more work with people (and myself) to learn more effective movement patterns.
