Paradox of automation
edit
The paradox of automation says that the more efficient the automated system, the more crucial the human contribution of the operators. Humans are less involved, but their involvement becomes more critical. Lisanne Bainbridge, a cognitive psychologist, identified these issues notably in her widely cited paper "Ironies of Automation."[49] If an automated system has an error, it will multiply that error until it is fixed or shut down. This is where human operators come in.[50] A fatal example of this was Air France Flight 447, where a failure of automation put the pilots into a manual situation they were not prepared for.[51]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:byjjq67p7iau6qufzjmizpbn/bafkreie4ootzzyowpylsxjg7gxsp63iujxh4qceuuxxhwm63yrm2qffa4e@jpeg)

I am so hype for this! The singing hills abbey has inspired much of my recent writing and I always find myself coming back to many of these novels to read when I need a good story! I can't wait for this!!!
COVER! A Long and Speaking Silence is out next year, but in the meantime, we can all stare at the cover, or at least, I know that's what I'm going to be doing.
A million thanks to Alyssa for her incredible work; this series wouldn't be what it is without her!

Happy cover reveal day for the next installation in @nghivo.bsky.social's Singing Hills series! I love drawing for this series, and getting to include whales is an added bonus. 🐳
Out 5/5/2026!

This is not how corporations respond to an ineffective protest. This is how they respond to a protest that they would like to have go away.
So don't let it go away. Keep it going.
In fact, Streissand Effect this shit. Call attention to how much they want this to go away.

It's so dumb, I am so upset because it feels like I took a break outside and they changed the locks of my house and kicked me out. It's not, it's a discord server, but you can place me in a new one and say this is your home now!

Also as an addition; sign this petition ASAP if you're someone in the UK.
Rather than just sitting around and doing fuck all, we need to make it clear that this Bullshit OSA won't work. Ever. Nor do folk fucking want it.
Contact your MPs about the bill too.

If you were at the big protests in Seattle yesterday consider showing up at the immigration facility in tukwilla today. ICE ordered a bunch of people in for no reason and they need people outside to take names and make sure everyone who goes in comes out
For the folks talking about the "3.5% rule", remember that after you come out for a rally you also need to take part in organized, effective resistance. Materially disrupt things. Make trouble. Create support networks to feed your neighbors and bail out protesters.
Don't show up just one day.

Something my action leader reiterated to us was “do what you can, because if you can’t, you are in the way.” If you can’t safely go out in person, find a way to support behind the scenes.
Sometimes, that is literally just monetary donations to medical bills and bail funds.

These 75 Democrats joined Republicans to "express gratitude" to ICE agents and call for greater local and state collaboration with ICE.
