Japanese X users have figured out that the Grok AI's auto-translation feature can't understand "pseudo-Chinese," a form of Japanese that doesn't use hiragana or katakana that's been popular on the net for years 😅😭

Just had a really stark moment of realisation. The thing stopping me right now from picking up a new programming project I've been thinking about is that I absolutely am REPULSED by the idea of having to set up a new IDE for it. The last experience I had with trying to set up an IDE was THAT BAD.

MONTANA SUPREME COURT: “Transgender discrimination is, by its very nature, sex discrimination,” and is subject to strict scrutiny under the Montana Constitution.

This isn't funny but what is funny is illustrating this story with Bucky's "Where the hell is Steve when you need somebody to pop off at these idiots" face.

"The study went as far as to say that increasing minimum wages could even increase revenue for fast-food restaurants. Higher wages are associated with increased productivity and lower turnover." #FastFoodCouncil

The FAA NOTAM (via @uavhive.bsky.social: x.com/UAVHive/stat...) strongly recommends all aircraft flying in the area use ADS-B Out or risk being "impacted by C-UAS technology", i.e., shot by a 20 kW laser.

Serious concerns because 100% of targets shot down with the laser were misidentified. "Two earlier incidents posed serious concerns. The U.S. military errantly shot down ⁠a government drone with the laser-based system on February 25…" www.reuters.com/business/aer...

Keep an eye out on our socials tomorrow because we might have a ✨new hat✨ coming…. 🦎

::pounding the table:: Triassic crocs were cool as fuck and deserve more love. "Dawn of the Dinosaurs," pfft, the terrible lizards stole all their best niches from Triassic crocs. I'll tell you about a new, charming fossil protocroc in today's newsletter. Check it out (or sign up!). 🧪

A new poster for Coyote Vs. Acme has been revealed at CinemaCon as well as confirmation that the first trailer will be dropping next week. It is so surreal this is finally coming out, but I am more than hyped given all it went through! I cannot wait to see this!

An exciting astronomy milestone was hit last night, as DESI completed its original 5-year survey mapping 40 million galaxies in the night sky! DESI continues operation, now aiming for an 8-year survey and ~60 million galaxies. 🔭🧪 #cosmology newscenter.lbl.gov/2026/04/15/d...

I have a QUESTION. 1, those are clearly specially made capsules. 2, IS THERE A MACHINE FOR PUTTING ANTS IN CAPSULES? Or was this done by hand. Because I've done some FIDDLY ass jobs in my life but THAT beats ALL of them.

There are donuts in this world. It's a place worth fighting for.

Today I learned about Alf Dick, not that one, a New Zealand jet boat builder (world’s oldest surviving jet boat) in the 1950's.

But if enough people who are privileged to walk away and demand a human cashier do so, then a store will provide a human cashier. And there will be safety for those who don't have an option. So if it is within ur means to have that privilege by all means use it! You'll be helping those who can't.

Back back back again as a guest at @dragoncon.org this year! Can’t wait 💜💜💜💜 #dragoncon

Not that any of MY cool followers need to hear this, but Ursula’s postscript here truly captures the most obnoxious ways to respond to an ID request, outside of “kill it with fire”

If this is where AI is headed in our checkout lines? REFUSE to go to the self checkout! You are more protected with the human cashiers. Check out with an actual human cashier or shop somewhere else.

You are not immune to saying "biiiiiig streeeeetch" when petting an animal and they stretch themselves out real long

Lawyers please adopt the TK thing that journalists use. TK is a very uncommon combination of letters in the English language, so throw it in anywhere you want to add something ("TK cite" "TK intro") and train yourself to do a quick ctrl+F before you submit anything.

Good night my friends. Thank you for flying with me tonight. I love our time together out in space, and it is so peaceful. See you again Thursday. Fly safe.

i really wish "children are people and people are not property" was not a radical opinion but unfortunately it's the central question up for debate with much of politics

Help Katelyn’s adorable kitty! There’s even a photo upthread for you to see how handsome he is.

You don't cut steaks from thighs. That is a ham or shank.

A collection of Atlanta neighborhoods voted Monday night to formally oppose a controversial data center proposal near the West End MARTA station and Beltline.

This is excellent, it’s great to see it all laid out so methodically, and also it’s like… Yes?? Of fucking course??? PEOPLE KEEP SAYING THEY’RE MADE ABOUT PRICES, THEY’RE VERY EXPLICIT ABOUT IT, WHY DON’T ALL THESE PUNDITS DON’T ALREADY GET IT

TOTP is not enough anymore. PassKeys are a minimum requirement for safe logins now.

Critical reporting by @walkerbragman.bsky.social on Jay Bhattacharya and the right-wing politicization of HHS and NIH. @jeremymberg.bsky.social and I were pleased to share our thoughts on the matter…which are more important than ever, given NASEM. www.importantcontext.news/p/as-hhs-rai...

Galeommatoids are one of the most diverse and yet least known groups of clams. They can be free-living, commensal or parasitic, they can filter feed and some are carnivores that suck the bodily fluids of their prey! Many are brightly coloured and very active, like little nudibranchs

Scottish Greens manifesto is out, compare and contrast

Best take on the surveillance system. “No I will simply delete the app and forget I had an account there.” Perfection.

Yeah, this sounds like something the aquarium staff here would say. Adore them.
