There's something about her use of the word 'most' 😆🥹

Watching a clip from John Wick, I notice this time he has a nipping press (a press used in bookbinding) in his basement and a huge number of leather bound books. Apparently, Keanu studied bookbinding for the movie and deleted scenes show him at work! Wild.

Difficult to tell apart

He reads the silly post He reads the scoldy post He reads the jokey post And the pedantic post He reads the posts that remind him of the bad site He reads the posts that remind him of the worst site Don’t screenshot that, troll behavior

when you utter “cereal” in a hard-surfaced room

The whole AI-to-make-graduation- efficient is bizarre. The most efficient way to award diplomas is by mail; there’s no logical need for ceremonies. The whole reason they exist is for the human touch & so people can celebrate each other. AI for “efficiency” here is nonsensical (& doesn’t even work🫠)

The man who bankrupted a casino has now also managed to produce the first football world cup nobody wants to attend, there has never been anyone else who ever possessed this level of ability at failing

Be Kind, Pete Hegseth Is Fighting A Battle He Knows Nothing About

Woman just walked out of the library with a big tote bag monogrammed TBR. If her initials, what a glorious and terrible burden. If not, my goodness.

Send this to every “Make America Healthy Again” loser you know

for my birthday this year i am kindly asking for a $1.8 billion slush fund that i can use specifically to be an asshole

You can tell that by him saying that if there's a rocket ship and someone offers you a seat, you take WHATEVER SEAT offered. Dude wasn't out there selling agency. He was selling obedience.

I don't know how much it broke through to people who weren't on the ground in the Twin Cities during Metro Surge, but ICE agents were so horned up for violence that they did shit like shoot through closed doors and into childrens' bedrooms. It was all a power fantasy come to life for them.

Got a crackin' photo of LNER Peppercorn Class A1 60163 "Tornado" at Darlington last week by the way.

I wore a t-shirt from 1992 to the movies tonight. It's been in my possession since 1997. I've been wearing the same t-shirt for nearly 30 years. I feel like the age of my shirt should be big news. And I tied an onion to my belt

So you CAN get reparations you just have to be a reactionary white person who tries to overthrow the government because black votes shouldn’t count

A typical mid-sized private jet consumes 300 gal/hr and jet fuel has increased 27% since the Iran Adventure began. That's about +$500 per flight hour, perhaps +$900/hr for a large Gulfstream-sized jet. If they're mad about a tax and silent on that, it's not about money, it's *zizek voice* ideology.

daydreaming about bedtime 😴

If you have little PVC guys (like these Tintins, or old happy meal or cereal toys, etc) and wanna put 'em on your shelf, but they fall over because they don't have a base, squeeze out a glob of high-temp hot glue into a puddle, let it cool just a little, stick their feet in, and paint to match.

I feel extremely Paul Revere rn because I need everyone to know that Shein bought Everlane

I need your help. When I'm making projects happen, I don't have as much time to remind people to buy merch/donate to Skype a Scientist. SO our balance sheet is...oh dear 😅 If you're able, becoming a monthly donor, even a couple bucks a month, would be really amazing. givebutter.com/SupportSAS26

It’s the 199th anniversary of the ‘Murder in the Red Barn’, which wasn’t discovered for a year, but when it was, the perpetrator was hanged, skinned, and used to bind a book... 🧵

The emergence of Simon, in whose hands any matcha is a hot matcha:

Surely someone has already coined “degenerative AI”?

Reminder that if you block someone on bsky, it doesn’t unfollow them for you. Your friends may not be truly following him (and you may not have spared yourself the wrath of people unfollowing anyone who appears to follow him). Unblock, unfollow, block. He’s a weasel.

Would like to wake up one morning and not read something that immediately pissed me off.

I asked my Ouija board if anyone has a secret crush on me. It must be broken, because I don’t even know anyone named Lol.

"YOU'RE the leader? LOL okay, take me to someone else."

This strikes me as A Good Thing

hey, 1 out of 3 is great if you're a batter

Well, by coincidence, that is very similar to something found in here in Rotterdam of the aforementioned shit exhibition. It's supposed to be Santa holding a Christmas tree, but is known locally as the Kabouter Buttplug (Buttplug Gnome). Reviews are mixed. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_C...

"We do need a ballroom," says the guy whose whole political brand is refusing to wear anything dressier than a sweatshirt

If I was the local news I would probably put in me that Eco Fest is sponsored by Indiana Michigan Power, NIPSCO and Steel Dynamics but wanting to report on stuff like that is probably why I am not allowed to be the local news which is so local that it is owned by Nextstar

Anthony!

Hey so if you're in the USA, the FCC is floating the idea of making shows put a warning up if they include or discuss trans people and trans lives. A short paragraph saying this is messed up would help a lot! You gpt less than a week. Submit your comment by May 22: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...

Morning. 🖼️ Blackbird, Jethro Buck.

tfw you’ve been partying with REO Speedwagon

Preservation of locally/regionally threatened species works!

no more AI development until we figure out how to make cardboard packaging that tears on the perforations properly on the first try every time

again, staying completely silent on the actual merits of ai, the initial ai boosters basically campaigned on "this will eliminate your job, forever, and make me personally rich." it should not surprise *anyone* that this provoked a backlash.

this feels like the crux of things, and I don't see it highlighted enough: being creative is fun! i want a machine that does my laundry so i can focus more on making art, not the other way around!!

At an underpopulated jazz brunch. The extremely bored bartenders are entertaining me on levels they probably do not intend.

/the caffeine hits and I bolt upright/ They should reboot Dark Shadows but set it in Provincetown

Waymo would rather ppl think they screwed up than help ppl understand this (hundreds to thousands of trips by empty robots) is the AI/ML way. The only Waymo routing "error" in this overblown/viral story involving a block of the more privileged in Atlanta was the density of robots per hour, AFAICT.

If I fixed my heart, do I still get to die?

Here's a photo of my great grandfather, Joseph Clunk, from a Harper's Weekly article. He was the US's first blind civil servant, and before that, in 1928, implemented the work placement program for the Canadian National Institute for the Blind. In his 9 years there, he helped more than 700...

Humanities and social science profs are finding out how natural scientists treat authorship and we are losing our damn minds.
