I'm bad at thinking of things when I'm put on the spot but i love to say "go to bread" too

the other thing that comes to mind is when dan castellaneta yells BART so fucking loud the echo can't be suppressed

always a good time to repost this

Thread on ICE in holland, Northeast Minneapolis the morning of 10/10/2025.

big thunder. please rain i need it for nap

A striking thing about articles I’ve read claiming to “study the effects” of generative AI on student writing skills and consumption of information is that (1) they nearly always find the effects are negative and (2) most “conclusions” are still written assuming that we must use AI, for some reason.

Generative AI, in both form and content, and whether looked on favourably or critically, seems to embody a collective hopelessness about the prospect of human learning and creativity, if not human knowledge altogether. It’s as if climate change had fans.

This also indicates the essential dishonesty of saying “it’s just a tool.” A hammer is a tool. Nobody writes about the “inevitability” of hammers. Nobody has ever studied the harmful effects of hammers on learning and concluded that teachers must all hit their students with hammers “responsibly.”

wanted to redraw this oldie from 2018 (year of the dog)

Lydia got upset when I left the house. so she brought a squid to my bed. I haven't seen her do this with a toy ever!

Dolly Parton doing the “I lived bitch.” meme is really improving a Wednesday.

My friend Matt Inman made a great comic about AI…

The greatest thing I own or will ever own is this old retail standee where Dracula casually reveals a coffin full of Doritos and Pepsi.

As much as folks might not want to believe it, artists who sell their work cannot survive exclusively on platforms that cater to primarily other artists. The Circulating The Same Five Dollars™️ model can't feed us or pay bills for long. We need places where we can be seen and discovered.

happy actual sweater-temperature day to everyone in the Twin Cities who celebrate

fuck it hyena werewolf time

The actual post is still available in the repo. Normally, when a post is deleted, it's removed outright with no way to get it back. pdsls.dev/at://did:plc... It doesn't appear in the timeline feed or the post thread API. They may be actively blocking it in the most stupid way possible, lol.

The sunk cost fallacy is just that—a fallacy. It’s okay to change the things that aren’t working for you, from jobs, to partners, to gender.

adhd is fun bc if I have something going on later in the day I can't do anything else until that thing happens 🤪

forcing myself to rest on this lovely Shabbat and not look or think too hard about the client work i have to do before Monday

The CEO of Bluesky is craven and evil. The only people that build these platforms are infected with the self-reproducing moral rot of capitalism. They have no sense of duty or stewardship. They see their monetary reward as a cleansing justification for their actions.

I love animation 🥰 I love motion graphics!!!!!!

I could easily see myself voting for someone who runs on abolishing ice and prosecuting every single one of them and the entire administration free campaign idea to good home

so fuckin metal

if you’ve ever even quietly thought “i would just move,” now’s your chance to pony up and make that possible for not just someone but three someones.

I can vouch for Dani and their sweet kiddos. They are working so hard, and this young family is in need to not be put out on the street. Can you help? $danirockasota V: djamiempls www.paypal.me/danirockasota

You are here, you have community, and there is plenty to do. You do not have to die on every hill, but we do all die, and there is a hill waiting for you somewhere here already, something worth defending, and work in that place worth being done. So let us get to that work. Let us stay at it.

Why would you not, already embedded in the belly of this dark machine, not find your place in it, sabotage and smash some piece of it in your power to do? Someone has to do it, and don't you already have the perfect cover? You are here, and they have to expend energy to get you out of themselves.

But the most important consideration may just be this: if you're right in all of your fears about this regime in its authoritarian ambitions and fascist character, then this is the most vulnerable they will be for a long while. Why would you not stay now and fight them now when they are so weak?

finished this one. Kids playing on hay bales, western SD
