Human failure to acknowledge - or in recognition respond to - the suffering of other sentient beings, is a puzzle at the core of my motivation to do better.

Have you ever stayed in a hotel room and suspected hidden cameras? The end of this clip where we begin to understand what types of objects can hold a hidden camera, even one with a livestream, is… educational.

@hannabergander @nikkelin @fredrikwass Jag reagerade på att Harris var beskuren ur bild på iPad.
Fascinating episode of @kerathink about adding sensory perceptions where they may have been lost, allowing for example someone with hearing impairments to "hear" and discern sounds through wristband taps. @krysboydthink interviews @davideagleman.

@Acuity_Design Thanks, Alastair! Will have to add that.
The fact that Four Seasons Total Landscaping now exists in VRChat is impressive, but also this video of the opening to guests is beyond adorable. x.com/thecoopertom/s…
If you are extremely tired I'd argue that is completely normal and likely the result of 4 years of escalating and restrained anxiety and muscular tension slowly oozing out of your body. You're okay.
Also the sun sets just after 3.30pm now in Stockholm, so I've got that going for me.
I'm using a service quite frequently that logs me out shortly after I leave the service. It's making me realise how many services there are that I never log out off and it's wild how we ended up here and are okay with never being logged out.
Been searching for a symptom tracker. This one seems to fit my demands quite nicely. All data saved on device only. Backups possible to iCloud. One-time payment rather than subscription. Track five symptoms for free. iOS only though.

@pappasadrian Yes, my thinking is that a significant number of people in power still believe that suppressing the ability to vote is beneficial.
The highest voter turnout in a general election in 120 years and it's still below 70%.
As far as records go, that seems alarmingly low to me.
The latest figure is at 66.9%.
1. It's easy to forget the influence of US politics. Reading the Nov 7 issue of @thecontinent_
"There is an increasing authoritarianism across the [African] continent. The civic space has been narrowed and democracy is under attack."
Yesterday's US result was beyond crucial.
2. "Much of what we Africans have been trained to recognise as good electoral conduct has never existed in the US. It turns out that the world’s model democracy is not that democratic after all."

3. Across the continent ordinary people are as always fighting for basic human rights. The LGBTQ+ movement in Nigeria feel like they are making progress, but not without being exposed to violence and killings (by police).
4. Here's @thecontinent_'s quiz for anyone wanting to gauge how tuned in they are with happenings on the African continent.
Hint: the photo at the top is from the country I was born in.
5. Sorry for lack of accessibility (image descriptions) in this thread. All screenshots are articles from the PDF on mg.co.za/thecontinent/ Also not perfect…

There we go. Joe Biden has been elected president. And importantly, with Kamala Harris as his vice president.
Just got a note from someone I've not met just to say they are really keen to get in touch in the future but are just a bit overwhelmed with life and work at the moment and oh by the way 'I have your inclusive panda sticker on my laptop...' 😭❤️🐼
It's those little notes in life isn't it… Small effort, big results.
Now imagine all those little notes instead being filled with vitriol, resentment, prejudice and spite. And put into a digital interface with an infinite scroll feature.
Damn I get gloomy fast… 😬

@agaton @lillerik @deeped Finns ju andra aktörer som gör liknande, och Spotify vinner nog på enkel tillgång. Håller med om att det inte borde kännas oväntat. Det är bara vi gamla rävar som är lite motvalls. ;) Intressant blir förstås hur skaparna kommer agera inför publiceringsalternativen.
