I feel like we're not addressing the most concerning news from Mythos

Erm, they're called palaeontologists, actually.

Some say the New York Times wouldn't reflexively both-sides a manifestly bonkers claim that flies in the face of everything we know about physics and Waffle Houses. Experts are dubious.

Now I’m finished up work and today we got a delivery for a project to keep me busy for a little while.

Ok step one is to make them look less delicious

What’s up with apple’s 1 hour delay to turn off face id? I would like to be able to disable that instantly, any time.

Since the vast majority — if not all — consumer routers are manufactured outside the United States, the vast majority of future consumer routers are now banned.

FCC just banned the import of all new foreign-made routers... here’s what you can do about it 📡🚫 blog.adafruit.com/2026/03/24/f...

I know everything’s terrible, but Oregon’s going to buy a nearby waterfall, so we’ve got that going for us. oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2026/03/05/o...

Something different for #TrilobiteTuesday This is an X-ray of a Chotecops trilobite from the Devonian Hunsruck slate near Bundenbach, Germany. The soft tissues were replaced with pyrite or fool's gold and are denser than the rock. The X-ray shows the denser material including legs and gills.

Frustrating software experience: I use a paid version of a tiny indie software utility. It just auto-updated to a new version that is a _paid upgrade_ and knocked me back into a trial version. Support indie software and all, and I'm not going to name and shame, but hey: Don't do that.

the incentives here are so obscenely terrible that the entire thing should be illegal by default “I am sabotaging negotiations because I stand to make piles of money on Polymarket” is absolutely in play, what a horrifying clusterfuck

What a time to be alive

1. kill khamenei and bomb everyone 2. ????? 3. liberation and peace for everyone forever and ever great glad we’ve got that all figured out

The cool thing is that the US seeking regime change in the middle east is something that has worked out every time with no blowback or unintended consequences ever.

Is it #FossilFriday yet again? Fine. Meet the glass sponges. With a fossil record going back to the Ediacaran, bizarre multinucleate cells strung across a latticework of razor-sharp siliceous spicules, and the current record for longevity among the metazoa, hexactinellids be WEIRD. 🧪⚒️🧵

welcome to the resistance, *checks notes* claude code

A curse on Microsoft for not letting me set up a user account for someone on a computer without making up a birthday and security questions.

One of the first things we were taught at Quantico was that there is never a moment in which you are not representing the Bureau; but, then again, we earned our place there, and weren’t granted its directorship as a sinecure for partisan malfeasance and a willingness to disregard the constitution.

we couldn't use government funds to buy coffee (like, folgers ground coffee) when i worked on a CDC outbreak emergency response

We need more “person finds cool rock” stories. (Also, I ❤️ crinoids.)

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.

Rest in Paradise, Boo Radley!

I think… I think I may have done something really bad

Perhaps dangerously, I've discovered there's an audience for grapolites on here. Thus: graptolite structural models made by E. S. Parkington and by (or inspired by) W. J. Sollas. The perfect dinner party centrepiece. In the @lapworthmuseum.bsky.social collections #FossilFriday

awww yisssss

Apparently whales from space are a bigger problem than I had previously realized.

RIP Bud Cort. How else would you even pay tribute to him.

If you take a breath today remember to be grateful to the bottom of your lungs to these guys that made it all possible. Ice-polished ~1.5 billion yo Proterozoic fossil cyanobacterial stromatolite pavement, at Grinnell Glacier, Glacier NP, MT. Oldest fossils I have ever seen!

The internet is a weird, weird place sometimes.

A reminder that the Kennedy Center is the literal and legal and congressional designated presidential memorial to JFK. This would be like Trump tearing down the Lincoln Memorial to build something “better.”

HAPPY BOSTON MOONINITE PANIC DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera. Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

Sure let’s endanger the public so that DHS doesn’t get pwned on social media

Spraying in the eyes like that frequently causes permanent vision loss. Completely, in some cases. The "officers" doing this should be in jail for the rest of their lives.

Current status: Vibe coding my new cat booping as a service startup

Some ice is good actually

Very cool that the folks in charge are dismantling the government, burning down our alliances, terrorizing the populace, and actively tanking the economy, and the mainstream press can't call this out in any meaningful way because half of them are in on it and the other half think it'd be impolite.

Now the actual military has to dress like it’s not the military cuz federal law enforcement agencies dress too much like the military

I can’t stop laughing at this
