In ‘news that should surprise nobody but it’s nice to have it quantified’: high speed rail is less carbon intensive than short-haul flights, even when you take into account the full life cycle (including construction).
In other words, we should be banning short-haul flights and investing in trains.

Trans people don't own gender. We stole it the same way Prometheus stole fire, so it would be available to everyone.
You're welcome.

It's kinda depressing how tumblr is imploding now and I'm seeing half my follow list go "man, after seeing both twitter and tumblr do this, it's really showing how it's a bad idea for a social media network to be run by a company who can make arbitrary changes without user consent.
anyway, here's my bsky: ..."
I'm on windows, using docker which uses WSL2 to run a linux so I can run a linux container which runs dosemu2 which builds a DOS program

Tumblr's moderators falsely flagged a trans woman's completely clothed and non-sexual pre- and post-transition photos as 'explicit content' and refused to rescind the ban, so she posted that she hopes the CEO "dies a painful death involving a car covered in hammers that explodes multiple times and the hammers go everywhere". The CEO of Tumblr is currently having a very public and extended meltdown about this, and is claiming that the Wile E. Coyote ass scenario of CEO Car Hammer Explosion was a "credible death threat" which required the intervention of the FBI and has banned the woman in question. He has spent the last few hours being Definitely Not Mad Online in all of the comments and replies. Truly incredible next levels of Silicon Valley Bro brain

We have the solution, but we need to elect people with the spine to fight for it.

Stuck on a tube platform. Which reminds me of the Chinese sound engineer I shared a lab with years ago. He had scale model of a tube station in the basement wired up with speakers and mics because the standard sound equations didn’t work for long spaces - they assumed a roughly square room. Through scale experiments, he worked out the equations for long spaces. And that is why announcements on tube platforms are now understandable instead of being an echoey mess.
