No more kiddie gloves. If you are still on Twitter in the Year of Our Lord 2026, you either endorse fascism, don't care about interacting with fascist content on a daily basis, or are so privileged that you're not meaningfully affected by fascism. That applies to all Democratic members of Congress.

Those agendas and biases can be anything! Case in point: you think the fruit in the garden of eden was an apple because a guy translating the story into Latin wanted to make a pun.

Data centers are asking just too much for too little in return. I'm pausing the release of any new data center tax incentives in Illinois — and I'm calling on the General Assembly to act in veto session to make sure data centers are paying their fair share.

And its STILL bad - have two strictly controlled dataset trained ML systems being show to have racial bias built into them from the dataset up. arxiv.org/html/2507.14... www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

This paper doesn't use the term "intentional stance," but it does really expose that imputation of consciousness is an act by the observer that's usually not based on dispassionate analysis of the observed's internal structures. It's just vibes, and those aren't sufficient. arxiv.org/pdf/2605.31514

Good night my friends. Null is doing very well, and is on his way to recovery so far. I will be headed back to the hospital to spend another night there shortly. Take care, be safe, and know I love you.

Good morning all. Be safe today. Love you <3.

When I did the Brompton World Championship we had to start on foot, then run to our bikes and unfold them before we could start cycling. (1m 26s -> 1m 36s.) youtu.be/FGMstwEQUeg?... The timer didn't start until we crossed the start line on our bikes, so this bit was just for fun.

Dataset poisoning is the best weapon against AIs Even if the one doing the poisoning is other AIs.

Low-energy particles are still rising indicating the CME is moving closer to Earth. We should see *something* at some point, maybe in the next several hours. At least one CME was a full halo eruption, so a non-impact would be quite unusual. Weider things have happened in space weather, though!

Good night my friends. Under the ugliness of what those in power would make of it, the future is still something shining and wonderful. I am so very grateful you are here with me to share it with. I love you all so very, very much.

No surprise these two would become instant best friends. #MayTheGrouchBeWithYou

Good god, fuck Everytown for pushing this garbage and California’s legislature for buying it. FOSS printers are about to get a lot more valuable.

Witch's cat, 16th-century woodcut. Featured in Jon Crabb's essay "Woodcuts and Witches" about the witch craze of early modern Europe, and how the mass-produced woodcut helped forge the archetype of the broom-riding crone so familiar today: https://buff.ly/32N2LMt

Good night my friends. I love you so very much. Please take care and be safe, I'll see you tomorrow.

I recently learned that this Aussie ant species, Polyrhachis femorata, plays possum when threatened. But not just as individual ants. The entirely colony self-contorts into death poses and just lays there like the aftermath of a creepy ant suicide cult. connectsci.au/zo/article/7...

I have seen this cat here in Portland and he's a chill sweetie. CVS should be proud to have their own bodega cat!! Maybe tell corporate how you feel! www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

I knew so many people in my 20s who were into “food systems,” and what that means was they enjoyed having a garden, going to the farmer’s market and eating kale.

To this day this is the only pride month art I've ever done, or ever needed really. 😎 (2022)

Hooooly cow. This recall is HUGE.

local friends! if you are in need of a wobbly vacuum cleaner, a camp chair, assorted scrap, a CRT, old books on various computer topics, or a broken mechanical calculator - it's up for grabs on the porch at the lab! whatever is left goes to recycling next week. (please don't take the rug)

Pretty clever of Bari to nakedly lie to her staff about the conversation with the journalist with impeccable credibility only to have him immediately call out her lies. This way the staff will absolutely trust and respect her

I know a lot of disabled and queer people thanks to the starter packs I've started. Please check them out and and give them some love. Never forget the disabled members of the LGBTQ+ community.

☀️ 24 hours of magnetic flux emergence around active region 4455. Spots of opposite polarity are developing west⇢ of the main spot right into the adjacent coronal hole. As we would expect negative spots east⇠ of the large positive spot this region is called 'Anti-Hale'.

And if you're wondering why you haven't read about this strike in that newsletter many of you like so much, maybe it's because that writer was the keynote speaker at this organization's annual conference. Newsfluencers aren't real journalists.

NEW at @autonomynews.co: The nation's largest abortion fund and support service went dark for a day last week because workers went on strike over management's refusal to bargain with them on AI protections. This ongoing dispute could lead to tremendous disruptions in the abortion access landscape:

Are you fucking kidding me. What the fuck happened? This is NONSENSE.

I really need a version of the Weyland-Yutani Corp pull tag I have with the Pride colour theme.

I support you.

RIP john blanche, one of the greatest to ever do it

this is in large part because google turned Search into such a shitty, god-awful experience that it had to pay reddit to feature answers much higher up in Search results after people were relentlessly appending the word "reddit" to their searches to find answers

So, as a heads up, I am likely not going to be around much on bluesky for the next few days. For those of you who don't know, EndNull is having surgery this weekend, and I'll be spending time with him in the hospital until he's recovered. If I miss my daily sign off - Please know I love you!

Well that was fucking new. Excel crashed, and then ASKED ME how much the crash impacted my work. Like... YOUR APP CRASHED. Of course that impacted my work. Hire some fucking QA people, Microsoft, and stop vibe coding structurally essential applications!!

when i wanted to report a neighbour for a hate crime (not to be arrested, i just wanted it logged in case this was the start of a harassment campaign), the Met reply was, and i quote: "are you sure? it'd mean we'd have to come out."

Hugely sad. We've lost John Blanche. It's hard to know where to begin. He set fire to a generation's imagination, and those fires show no sign of stopping burning. His work very much illuminated the darkness.
