Dear Physicists and Physics fans, I would like to encourage you to celebrate #WomenInPhysics Day this Friday, November 7th. Why November 7th? Because it is the birthday of two of the most impactful women physicists of the 1900's: Marie Curie and Lise Meitner. 🎢 ⚛️ 🧪 👩‍🔬

hello! freg!

can the deaths and lawsuits and general growing contempt outpace ai's total conquest of the economy before this shit literally destroys the world. lol

納豆食べる犬🐶 Masuke ate his favorite food, natto!

Got out there and did the thing 🫡

This scammer (SouljaBoy) still owes me for his LAST console that was never shipped and/or probably never existed. I bought it because I thought it would be funny to review, and while I’ll grant that the novelty of saying, “SouljaBoy owes me $120,” has not been without value, I’d rather the money.

Another dramatically lit boule. The light in the kitchen at this time of day is 😍.

I'm sick with a cold for the first time since 2021

An order of chicken fingers is called a hand. “Gimme a hand of fingies,” you say. If you want dipping sauce you ask for them to “paint the nails.”

Samhain for my real friends, real ham for my sane friends

Doing the same exact "look what I found" prance Ollie does when he steals something

parents PLEASE check your kid's candy this year. i just found a copy of "the elder scrolls: tribunal" in a snickers bar. that is NOT playable without the morrowind base game

AI critics point out how useless it is for most people, and then AI company commercials are like "umm maybe it can come up with nicknames for Pete? Is that useful?? Give us 10 trillion dollars."

Someone would probably tell me if this was, like, "too much," right?

Here's an article about Mischief Night. It mentions a linguistics quiz. It's like (or is) the one I took when I learned "Mischief Night" is local to the Philly/NJ area. Before that, I just figured that's what October 30th was called everywhere. 😂 www.atlasobscura.com/articles/wha...

It's taken me longer than usual to get into spooky mode, but when this spooky eye emerged after experimenting with acryla gouache (something I'm having a bit of fun with), I made this graphic for Mischief Night! New Jersey knows. 😈

Growing up, my parents’ cousins were my aunts and uncles. My parents aunts and uncles were also my aunts and uncles. Even some of my parents friends were my aunts and uncles. This is so petty

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

While looking up photos of mice today, I was reminded of Kazuo Iwamura's picture books. Saddened to learn that he died last December. This series was such a big part of my childhood

Weretober Day 18: Chimera They are at it again... #Weretober #Weretober2025

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness) As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

QRP with your meme redraws!

Anyone posting ai slop should be shamed but especially journalists

HORROR FANS AND WRITERS: We have a plan to watch 4-5 horror movies on Halloween night (at midnight). The theme: Haunted Houses. WHAT WOULD YOU RECOMMEND?

Woke up at 9am this morning and watched The Substance with @nicolablack.bsky.social Amazing movie. Surprised me at every turn. But starting off the day with it was... a choice 😅

You know, today's also Dhanteras, the first day of Diwali, which is a holiday celebrating the victory of good over evil sooooooo feels good!!

Put your trash in the trash can🗑️ ポイ捨てはこうですっ☆

October is Spider Time 🎃🕷️ QRP with your Spoopy Spooders

BY THE WAY If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2. There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security. Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation." TURN IT OFF.

nothing chatgpt has done is as impressive as akinator, the mind-reading internet genie from 2007

Reverted to a 2024 driver and all is well, but come on man.

Updated my wacom driver and now it's like the touch strip, keys, and even the toggle button are set to "zoom in" 🙃

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

Made six quarts of pickled jalapenos this morning 🌶️

most outlets report on celebrity collabs by naming the celebrity up front and then mentioning their collaborators a few paragraphs down, if at all. it is a common practice that devalues creative work. anything that distances readers from the fact that PEOPLE MAKE BOOKS is happening to our detriment

with respect, the publisher will not create the illustrations

RIP One of my favorite follows back on twitter for the peeks behind the scenes on all his artwork.

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

it's that time of year, it's time to get your flu and covid booster shot unless you're from massachusetts then it's time for your flu and covid borcester shot

I cannot yell about this magical girl ghost detective series enough

I owe my entire career to twitter--or more importantly the science writer "tweet-ups" where we'd all meet. Social media was so different then! And combined with moving away from the city and covid, I can't help feel like I lost everything that had kept me connected and successful.

In unrelated news, here's @juliesulabor.bsky.social writing for @msnbc.com about how Amazon mistreats its package handlers and delivery drivers: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

“You can always recognize a place in which no one is feeling much or any grief for a lost loved one & death, dying, & everyone you love decomposing to bones is just a joke.” Joyce Carol Oates

yet again, I win my bet that "three white men win the Nobel Prize in physics", so pay the fuck up

If you need me, I’ll be in the forest 🌲

Our wonderful little sun dog is enjoying the morning. ☀️🐶

Next Friday at New York Comic Con I'll be signing with Fred Harper at the ComicXposure booth.

The language of non-consent around AI is really telling. "It's too late to be scared." "It's here whether we want it or not." "You'll have to learn to work with it." "You can't fight the inevitable." All just variations of "you're not allowed to say no." Creepy technology made by creepy people.
