@MaryTheKnife@mastodon.social Bra illustration på hur relationer, detaljkunskap, och specifik uppmärksamhet från människor fångar fel. @maswan@mastodon.acc.sunet.se @AasaMariaHedberg@mastodon.art @jon_bon@toot.cat

@maswan@mastodon.acc.sunet.se Vilket alltså, för att förtydliga, är ett gigantiskt problem, och jag har svårt att förstå varför man infört ett system på ett sådant sätt att felen varken upptäckts tidigare eller att dylika fel aldrig skulle leda till den här typen av ogiltiga röster. @AasaMariaHedberg@mastodon.art @jon_bon@toot.cat

RE: https://mastodon.nu/@republikanskaforeningen/116992336499367100 Det här är såklart helt sant, men det bör ge en hint om hur många i befolkningen som faktiskt är demokrater, och måhända oroa att det är så få.

Some things in Ministry for the Future has aged really well. Other things... not. The blockchain stuff in particular. #reading

@jonny@neuromatch.social for me the biggest thing currently is 'doing different things with either hand' which as a brass musician is just brain-breaking.

@Jonas_Bostrom@mastodonsweden.se @jon@gruene.social Trafikverket is, apart from budgets, the major barrier to reasonable train experience in Sweden, it seems to me. If I were a politician I would argue for an immediate reseparation into road/rail/air agencies again, so that mode costs and shares can be meaningfully brought back under control, and such that people who hate trains and want them to fail don't get to decide about their operation and infrastructure.

@billgoats@bitbang.social Yes, that was part of the whole lineage.

@NiwlCraft@mastodon.art also Statoil/Statkraft among others.

@linbro@mastodonsweden.se Lübeck?

@LenaA@toots.nu @joakimfors@mastodon.green @LeoR1010@mastodonsweden.se en jäkla massa konstgödselingredienser och olja och produkter som kommer därur gör det dock.

@glynmoody@mastodon.social I don't think the subjectivity can really be sidestepped, nor the interplay between state, capital and what is 'generally considered'. In particular, I think you can just as (or more) easily make the same case for the greatest art being inspired and funded by the Catholic Church.

@CiaraNi@mastodon.green also Zelensky

This Jacobin article (or rather, screenshots of the headline and selected paragraphs) on family abolition and heteropessimism has been doing the rage circuit on Bluesky, but I have to say I found it quite interesting, if not completely comprehensive. The point seems to me to less a denigration of family abolition or feminism and more an explanation and exploration of them. https://jacobin.com/2026/07/love-family-gender-heteropessimism-incels-feminism

@szbalint@mastodon.social What are you even talking about?

@poemproducer@systerserver.town I compose more than I produce, but I've played around with various tools (PD, SooperLooper, SonicPi, Ardour, etc etc).

@dgoldsmith@mastodon.social eh not really in this particular post. Properly managed ecologies do definitely store more carbon than impoverished monocultures.

@szbalint@mastodon.social this is also inaccurate, since certain passive methods absorb, redirect, or reflect that energy in ways ACs don't.

@j2bryson.bsky.social @j2bryson@mastodon.social ....why throw out the press?

Lyssnar på @kodsnack@social.podsnack.se om shaderkodning och tänker att Linus Åkesson borde bli inbjuden att prata om demokodning och elektronik och kod som konst och hantverk. @bjoreman@toot.cafe

Just had a bizarre cell phone experience where I just missed a call, so called back, got a connection and heard a few words, after which it was cut. Then I got a text saying that I got a new voicemail. Which was the continuation of that call???? Incredible that we actually had a functional phone system and have managed to fuck that up completely somehow.

Stupid realisation: on a chromatic button accordion, Giant Steps is real easy on the melody side and wildly awkward on the bass side.

@LenaA@toots.nu @LeoR1010@mastodonsweden.se Oh? Har Hormuzsundet öppnats på allvar till slut?

@skinnylatte@hachyderm.io 'The Christian Science Monitor'?

@celesteh@post.lurk.org I'd say charitably that he's more FDR than Raegan in that he's working frantically to save capitalism from its own inherent and heightening contradictions, and as such are taking these positions directionally in a positive, rather than negative direction.

'It's a self-licking ice cream cone' no it's a pyramid scheme!

@j2bryson@mastodon.social @j2bryson.bsky.social in what sense?

@j2bryson@mastodon.social Wow.

@glynmoody@mastodon.social Indeed, it loops back to the question of what is "great art".

@LenaA@toots.nu (jag fultestar genom att smalna av mitt webläsarfönster på desktop för att "simulera" telefonläge) @airikr@mst-gts.airikr.me @jens@toots.nu

@Pepijn@mastodon.online Does it also show the Jazan refinery fire?

@szbalint@mastodon.social yes, because AC does, in fact, heat up the city while passive methods do not. Don't get me wrong, there are many other actions also needed, not least plant cover, but if you can achieve good enough cooling with passive methods, that is always preferrable to AC.

@Jonas_Bostrom@mastodonsweden.se Sure, and I know there are calls to reintegrate e.g. railroad maintenance, and taking it back into the agency instead instead of being contracted out. @jon@gruene.social

@mattdm@hachyderm.io Incidentally, this is also the correct answer to Omelas: It is stated in the story many times that the child is not actually necessary for the society, but only for its "realism" to us the readers, and this is not hidden away, it is stated explicitly.

"Now do you believe them? Are they not more credible?"

@linbro@mastodonsweden.se Superfin stad! Vi hade det som stam-turnémål med storbandet i många år.

@szbalint@mastodon.social are you aware that shutters are not, as a rule, active users of energy and producers of heat?

@glynmoody@mastodon.social Was it? How do you figure?

I have to say, these make a fascinating pairing. I'm not sure what I expected from Ministry for the Future, but what is there is both fascinating in its own right, and very clearly something written a few crucial years ago. Dennis' book, meanwhile, is just a few years younger, and nonfiction rather than marketed as 'a novel' (though I think MotF is not adequately labelled as simply such), but clearly points at similar problems and solutions through the particular lens of the railway.
