How dare she think she should be permitted to influence the affairs of men. npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD @npub1grx…uxfe Praising bureaucracy categorically is like praising violence categorically -- yes, sometimes it's useful, or even necessary, but, on the whole, it is best when minimized. npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD @npub1lzz…jhl3 It's only porn when the wrong sort of people do it. npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD @npub1lzz…jhl3 So these guys prefer corrupt strong men who support extremist theocracies...what else is new? npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD How much public money Ohio sent to private schools after tripling EdChoice npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD @npub1ahq…wjwd npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD @npub1grx…uxfe I paid it (begrudgingly) because if they raised Prime by $3 a month, I wouldn't have even blinked. And I'll save >3 minutes a month by avoiding ads, and my time is worth that (at least). Also, I hate ads in the middle of movie...my aversion to ads in general is what caused us to raise our kids watching almost exclusively movies...we almost never watch TV shows unless they can be streamed uninterrupted. The Super Bowl is the only exception...I watch it almost entirely for the ads. npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD FORTUNE: Consumer prices pushed up mostly by corporate profits, new Groundwork Collaborative study finds npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD I'm increasingly convinced that coping with change is the ultimate life skill. npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD Saw this map posted on another network and it helped me realize some things I'd never appreciated before, which is just how whopping huge the agricultural part of California is, and, related, just how bowl-like the topography is. Really fascinating. #Maps #California npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD @npub1grx…uxfe Maybe he misheard and thinks it's "tickleball" npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD @npub1grx…uxfe I miss news, but I don't miss the politics. The heavily partisan punditry does not add value to my life. npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD @npub1kmn…8cg8 Same. 20/20 👍 npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD The problem with free speech is that eventually someone will say something you don't like. npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD So we now understand that #ClimateChange isn't killing whales directly so much as it's starving them to death. Fossil fuel use is the reason your grandkids or great-grandkids might never see an actual living whale. npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD I've seen a lot of pretty buildings and I remain convinced that #Cincinnati Music Hall is one of the prettiest. #Architecture npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD @npub1ler…g24g he who? what guns? npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD If I was a company, I'd be straight-up embarrassed to advertise on X/Twitter knowing it's propping up this kind of idiocy. npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD @npub1cgs…0c0v @npub1grx…uxfe npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD #Statistics npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD @npub1ahq…wjwd Lovely Black Swallowtail you have there! npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD This is the level of deception and manipulation that Republicans now consider normal operations in Ohio. Their illegal gerrymandering has allowed them to corrupt every aspect of governance without accountability or contrition. Ohio is a failed democracy. npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD Hey, Fediversians, can you help? There's someone on here who shall go unnamed who posts a lot. Like...A LOT. I would like to see some of their posts, but the full firehose is just too much. Is there a solution to this somewhere between following and not following? npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD @npub1ahq…wjwd In Cincinnati, in the early 90s, a commercial street near the university began playing classical music over loudspeakers over a 4-block area to deter hoodlums who were hanging out, tagging buildings, knocking over trash cans for fun, harassing passersby, and generally making a mess of things. It worked, actually. npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD @npub16mj…alcf I'm tired of people telling me to stop being political when it comes to issues like climate change and renewable energy when it is inherently one group's political identity that prevents faster progress towards a sustainable future. npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD @npub1ahq…wjwd I'm not a huge fan of massive regulation, but one requirement I'd love to see imposed on every online service of any size is to allow users to download their user-generated content in an easy-to-read format (e.g., PDF) at any time and at no cost. That seems reasonable to me. npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD @npub1ahq…wjwd I'll be damned if I can figure out how to download an entire archive of all my notes without re-installing the desktop app. npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD I wish more people were a bit more skeptical and a bit less gullible. It would solve a lot of problems. Everything from email phishing to conspiracy theories to antiscientific beliefs would be lessened if folks, say, took a moment to wonder "Now why would Elon Musk be wanting to give me 100 Bitcoins via email?" instead of blithely clicking on that link. Critical thinking in general, of which informed skepticism is a vital component, seems like an increasingly lost skillset. npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD @npub1grx…uxfe Yep...there are days when I feel like it's right around the corner, and other days I think it's going to be 20 years before we see something approaching task ubiquity. The thing that makes me tend towards faster timeframes is that, unlike the Internet revolution, this one doesn't require any special infrastructure that has to be built out. We already have the information networks in place to allow really rapid uptake. Plus, the sheer breadth of new tools in about 7 months is jaw-dropping. npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD @npub1grx…uxfe I think coding will be largely unnecessary within 5 years, so I wouldn't recommend someone invest a ton of time in it right now. Sure, as a personal hobby maybe (like playing retro video games), but seems quite a lot like learning how to use a slide rule a year after handheld calculators came out. npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD Ken Burns on the origins of his recent documentary: "...it really hurts to know that Hitler applauded our extermination as he put it, of the Native Americans and the corralling of the rest into reservations, what he would later call concentration camps that German jurors came and studied our Jim Crow laws to fashion the mid-1930s discrimination laws against the Jews. And you begin to realize that the ideas both bad and good are like tides." npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD @npub1grx…uxfe "How can we know what is true?" is about to become the most omnipresent and impactful question in our society. npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD New article: Why 100% Remote Work Doesn’t…Work npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD @npub1v2s…mqq5 Wow...that was unexpected. npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD To hell in a handbasket, and right-wing elected officials are leading the way. #politics #Ohio #elections npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD Religious zealots have no place meddling in our government, let alone making our laws. npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD "The paper adds to a growing body of research that #ClimateChange and increasingly extreme weather are going to be extraordinarily expensive..." npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD Watch the video attached to the story at the link below: White supremacist activities are on the rise in Columbus, Ohio. If we don't nip it in the bud and take a stand now, we are headed for disaster. And while you might think "hey, they're only protesting drag shows," I encourage you to revisit the lead-up to WWII in Germany in the 1930s. npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD #[0] This is an excellent piece and brilliant explainer video on this rampantly abused tactic: npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD Went to the funeral of a WWII veteran today. A heavy machine-gunner in the 100th Infantry Division, he helped retake France in 1944. Purple Heart. Two bronze service stars. His division liberated over 100 French villages & towns, never once retreating. Legit war hero. npub1g68vu24t2mua0uat9ahvj6n0t00f78a9re9m7d95td4uugqzwl2q307gqj Craig Froehle, PhD #[0] Maybe we should tell them some trans women drive ridiculous pickup trucks and think poorly of minorities.
