silveradeptLet us begin with How to Get On's guides to living a great, disabled life, which may have come back around to being relevant again as more and more people continue to suffer long-term consequences of novel situations.
From there, we head to the concept of executive function theft, where one entity offloads things they consider unimportant onto some other entity they consider unimportant, freeing up their own time at the expense of loading someone else down with having to do more, and expend more of their own executive function to deal with the increased workload that has been thrust upon them. The most common example of this is the belief of some privileged men that their spouses have to take on all of the housework and child-rearing tasks so the man can Think Big Thoughts and work toward getting himself promoted and chasing his dreams. He thieves his spouse's executive function so that he can do what he considers more important, rather than participating in the work of maintaining the partnership. (You can see certain men who want to "return" to an era where women have no independence practically salivate at the thought of being able to steal all of their wife's executive function without ever having to feel bad about it or give any of it back to her.)
Beyond that, we have a return of You feel like shit, an interactive self-care guide written in Twine, and resources from the Free Mindfulness Project, in case they might be useful to you or someone else.
At 81 years of age, Richard Roundtree, most famously known for his role as John Shaft in the Shaft! series of movies, has died. He was also an advocate for getting yourself checked out for breast cancer, since he'd gotten it. (And played a role in Roots.) If you've ever enjoyed a post-1971 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer movie, you can thank him, as the success of Shaft! made $12 million USD off of a $500,000 USD budget.
Matthew Perry, a man who struggled with a drug addiction and used a lot of his fame and proceeds from the acting he did to help others with their drug addictions, died of an apparent accidental drowning at 54 years of age. He gathered a lot of fans and fame for one specific role, but he did a lot of work trying to avoid being a one-hit wonder for that.

The Republican Party elected a new Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, from Louisiana, someone with a relatively low profile in the House, but who is far more of a true believer about Christofascism than the nominal leader of the party. So I'm sure he would have loved to have been Speaker while Mike Pence was in charge of the Senate. They could have accomplished so much in the way of imposing theocracy on the rest of us together. Expect quite a bit of messaging and not a lot of work.
The belief that moderns have decreased attention spans and lack the ability to concentrate says more about the way that moderns look at life, rather than all that much rooted in biology. I might also note, in addition to the linked work showcasing how sustained concentration was related to workplace change, but also was worrisome that children and women might get too engrossed in a novel and think about acting it out (that should sound familiar to those who believe in the "murder simulators" theory of violent video games), that some of this panic about distractability is likely also related to the sharp uptick in diasgnoses of variable attention stimulus trait and other neurodivergences. For people who are uninclined to accept infinite diversity in infinite combinations, and who believe their own brain's working is the only way that any brain could work, they're probably fretting about "excess" medication usage and concerned that neurodivergence might be equally a "contagion" in the same way that other laughable entities believe that a gender identity outside the binary is "contagious."
Unfortunately, in a place where they are emboldened, supported, and their messages are not laughed at, but embraced, the vitriol and attacks are driving people out of the library space, out of the board space, out of the council space, because people don't actually sign up to receive death threats about whether a book has a character with two same-gendered parents. And yet there's still a fair amount of people who believe that library workers are somehow involved in the sexualization of children, even as the headlines pile up about the people who are being charged with and convicted of sexualization of children. To the point where they advocate for censorship of materials for young audiences by insisting that they be removed to other sections and barriers placed so that they are not easily accessed, while also saying they'll withdraw from the American Library Association. I guess this means that this particular organization in Alabama will have to demonstrate they understand what they did wrong and apologize for it before they can be let back in to the organization. (Or, at least, they should be required to do this.) They can take as their example Scholastic, the children's publisher and purveyor of book fairs, who issued an apology and a promise that they would no longer provide the option for book fairs to opt out of receiving titles about the experiences of characters who aren't white, male, straight, and Christian, or who were written by authors who aren't white, male, straight, and Christian. In January 2024, anyway.
In the interim, though, we can enjoy librarians receiving targeted harassment and a bomb threat because they had to enforce their Rules of Conduct on a speaker that was determined to flaunt them, serious discussions arising about how library workers can best protect themselves, mentally and physically, as well as legally and financially, against the onslaught of targeted harassment, threats, and other intimidation and violence, and authors finding themselves with fewer visits and speaking opportunities to schools where their books are being banned or otherwise challenged and restricted, in addition to harassment, vitriol, and personal attacks on the author about the work they have authored, because, of course, there are very few t3eaches and librarians that want to stick their neck out if they're not absolutely certain the administrators will defend them against all comers when someone inevitably objects to an author visit.
Another place in Texas believes they can ban the use of their roadways for someone to travel through if that person traveling is driving or otherwise helping someone get reproductive care. And like previous laws, they believe that by devolving the power of enforcement to private individuals bringing civil actions, they will avoid having their bans overturned by arguing that it is not the State that is doing anything at all to enforce these mechanisms, merely paying rewards to those private individuals that choose to bring such things to their attention. And because they believe they can get away with targeting the person helping as a way of avoiding targeting someone for a protected class or otherwise legal activity. I assume that for someone who wishes to read nothing more into a law document than what is written there, and insists that their "plain" reading is correct, this will be a convincing argument in this case, even if it hasn't been so in the past.
The way that the publishing industry can take the warnings that the AAA game industry is putting out and avoid doing the same thing to themselves. Which mostly involves giving people less work and sufficient money to take care of that work, so that the products that get put out are both worth the price that's being charged for them and genuinely entertaining and enjoyable for the amount of money being charged. (And they don't need day one patches.)
The supreme court of Japan has overturned a law requiring that persons who wish to undergo binary transition be sterilized before they are able to undergo transition. The also overturns a previous ruling form the same court in 2019 that found the law constitutional. It is a good piece of news. We can hope that all other places of the world both recognize the spectrum of potential gender identities and avoid placing unnecessary and harmful burdens in the way of those who wish to live as the gender they are.
Jenna Ellis, another lawyer involved in the spurious attempts to overturn the 2020 election, took a plea deal in the RICO case against her and others in Georgia, which requires her to testify truthfully, as well as having had to apologize to the citizens of Georgia for her role in the attempted subversion of the election results. Accepting the plea deal got the far-right folks upset at her that she raised money off of them and then accepted a plea deal, rather than using that money to fight to the bitter end. You'd think they would be used to this at this point, with as many times as their supposed leader has done the same thing, but apparently not. (The rest of social media seems unimpressed by her tearful display and statement in the court. Perhaps because they start pointing out where she started back in on the old line not too soon after supposedly expressing remorse at what she had done.)
Mark Meadows, a former chief of staff to the previous administrator, has been testifying before the Special Counsel, which hopefully means he'll also be testifying in the other cases, since he has intimate knowledge of many of the things that actually happened as the former administrator attempted to interfere with the lawful counting of votes and certification of results.
Michael Cohen, a lawyer to the previous administrator, testified in New York that he deliberately misrepresented the value of assets for the previous administrator to obtain favorable terms for loans and to minimize tax burdens to the State of New York. Since he was found liable in the civil trial, it is entirely possible that the previous administrator will not only lose the ability to conduct business in the state, there is a high probability there will be asset forfeiture or assets will have to be sold to pay the fines that will be assessed for the deliberate misrepresentation.
A United States Court of Appeals has ruled that the public is entitled to unencumbered access to standards that have been incorporated into law, even if those standards were produced by a private corporation that asserts the copyright over those standards. I am glad to see this ruling, even if it is probably more complicated than "things that are published by the government have no copyright on them" and that, presumably, law codes and judicial decisions fall under that lack of copyright, and therefore someone who needs access to the laws they are expected to obey should be able to do so in their entirety.
Additional sports have been set for the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles: cricket, flag football, lacrosse, squash, and baseball/softball are on the program for the Games.
An article describing a system in the Netherlands where a birthing parent can get a week's worth of assistance from someone who can help them with the new tasks of caring for their newborn child. Which spends a lot of time about the benefits of the system to the new parents, and then has a few paragraphs at the end about how the system seems to be running pretty hard on vocational awe, because there's staff shortages and not particularly great wages for the person who is assisting the new parent get used to their baby and learning ways of caring. Highly feminized, vocational awe shot through and through, and also requires a certain amount of co-pay from the new parents to get the care. Makes me think the issues are deeper than the article would like us to believe.
One of the meaner ways that privilege manifests is that it tends to assume the less privileged are less competent, (and therefore deserving of what fortune befalls them) rather than less privileged or being subjected to a circumstance that makes them look incapable or incompetent. That can manifest in all kinds of different ways, including whether or not a person's accent matches the accent that the listener prefers to hear.
Neurodiversity, if properly supported and worked with, rather than shunned and discounted, can improve a workplace and produce powerful work. But there's a lot in that "if properly supported and worked with," because there's a fair amount of neurotypical assumptions baked into workplaces that can result in lost trust or frustrated workers if they're not examined and modified. If you have a manager convinced that you are dropping the ball because of laziness or that your undiagnosed medical problem is actually rudeness, then not only do they not get the best work possible out of someone, that person's trust has to be regained (if it's possible for that trust to be regained) before any kind of attempts can be made to get work to them that's in their wheelhouse.
Brexit and corporate greed have exacerbated problems with the building of houses in the UK, to the point where the houses themselves require constant fixing of things because they were not built correctly in the first place. It's the kind of thing that you point at when someone with very libertarian views believes that there will be no problems by going full-on libertarian. (That, and the book about the place feeding the bears.) An in-depth view of how older and newer sewer systems work, how much the UK is running on older technology, and the costs that would be involved in changing to a better system that is less likely to cause sewage discharges through the overflow systems.
Aristotle's Masterpiece, not written by said philosopher, but popular enough that "Aristotle" had become slang for sexual knowing. The book itself promises the secrets, and offers the tease of knowledge and understanding. Something that, perhaps, my contemporaries might have used the National Geographic Magazine instead.
Grace Verne Silver writing in Sexology, advocating for more information and education about sex for both men and women so they can match with each other better, or discover that the pool of available candidates is not up to standard.
How the presence of good-quality digital cameras has changed the use of archives and their material, where instead of sifting in the archives and asking for copies of the most pertinent things, the researcher does a fair amount of digitizing and capturing of material and then sorts, organizes and finds the useful material later. Which makes sense, honestly, and is another one of those reasons why digitizing projects needs more funding and more people to achieve their results, and not just for creating the documents, but developing finding aids and metadata for them, so that researchers can browse and use the collections effectively.
A person advertising himself to commit violent acts against other people has been sentenced to a little over 13 years in prison for the services he rendered to clients.
In technology, Unity's disastrous and backlash-fueling decision to change their fee structures for the Unity engine may have been about trying to capture more advertising dollars and get more customers for some of their acquired companies, but instead destroyed trust in the company and has many developers abandoning the platform entirely because of that destroyed trust.
Two ransomware gangs knocked out of operation, one through pwnage and the other through a law enforcement raid. Which, hopefully, will not result in three gangs springing up to fill their niche.
The Voyager space probes are getting firmware updates to try and squeeze yet more life and data out of them. Having already blown past their original mission parameters and lifetime, and worked their way out to the helioshock and beyond, the more we can keep receiving data from both of those probes, the better.
A person has built an example set to test and see if someone else has the same kind of pitch-amplitude confusion they do. I don't (I didn't expect to, given that I've been an amateur musician for most of my life), but I do hope this person finds other people who have the same issues and they can get to work trying to figure out what the confusion in their brains are.
Last out for tonight, I got to do one of my favorite rituals of 31 October - sit at the door, admire the costumes, and distribute the sweets and stickers. The numbers were up significantly from last year, which is good, even if I'm a bit concerned about it all, the groups that game were all pretty well groups that came, so hopefully they're not trying to pass anything amongst each other or to anyone else, for that matter. For those who are turning the wheel of their year over, I hope your rituals go off without a hitch and they always land at least in the vicinity of your aims.
