  On this day in 1970, Apollo 13 crew members John Swigert Jr. and James Lovell reported a major technical fault to Houston. While the movie popularized "Houston, we have a problem," the actual exchange used the past tense. After a massive electrical failure in an oxygen tank, the real intreaction was: Swigert: "Okay, Houston, we've had a problem here." Houston: "This is Houston. Say again please." Lovell: "Houston, we&...

  The National Women’s Defense League found 30 members of Congress from 13 states, & Guam have been accused of workplace sexual misconduct in office. That data only captures part of the scale of the problem. Few cases are publicly reported at all, the House Ethics Committee also acknowledged in a statement. 77% of the allegations against members of Congress involved misconduct against congressional staff. 60% were Republican, 40% were Democrats. #Congress #Accountability https://19thnews...

  Persuasion is not a side effect of technology; it’s often the point. Every interface, every notification, every design decision carries with it an intent to influence behaviour. Sometimes persuasion serves someone else’s agenda, nudging us to buy, scroll, work harder or give up privacy. The same persuasive techniques can empower or exploit, depending on who controls the system, what goals they pursue and whether they have meaningful consent. https://theconversation.com/is-your-ai-chatbot-manipu...

  Ran a Python script to compare my digital Grateful Dead library against their real-world lifetime touring history from setlist.fm. Green: Tracks I've hoarded. They only played "Dark Star" 255 times live, but it dominates my library. Heavy bias for deep-dive, psychedelic jams over standard rotation! Red: Touring workhorses like "Drums" and "Me and My Uncle". Played hundreds of times, my local ratio trails their career frequency. #Gr...
