ADHD Women's Summit— a summit specifically for a cohort of people CATEGORICALLY KNOWN to have auditory processing issues— is *Charging A Fee*. For *Subtitles*. What in the ACTUAL FUCK.

it’s dead guys

Bought it this sale, maybe halfway through? I cannot stop playing it.

Instead of fireworks, why not scare your neighbors the old fashioned way? Grow out your antlers and fangs, cultivate a thunderous beard of moss, haunt the night, and become a terrifying creature of legend and lore.

the pouch is out the pouch is seen

I found this game last year from a rec thread and bought it immediately! It is still one of my favorite games. Super cool novel mechanics, good sense of humor, so many puzzles! And a built in card game I still log in just to play a few rounds of almost daily. I cannot recommend this game enough.

show me a picture that captures your essence

A very good overview of practical ways to become better at communicating complex topics to people who don’t know much about them.

A ratfish for #SundayFishSketch - Hydrolagus collei. Working my way through a PNW field guide while at FHL

Everything the lab does is incredible and I am incoherently excited right now. You know you need to smell like this. And, for fellow MCAS folk, BPAL is one of the few brands that isn’t a trigger for me!

Fireflies and Penstemon digitalis, 2026 This is a real photo taken in my yard, made with many stacked 4-second exposures. In all, this photo represents about 8-10 minutes worth of firefly flashes in a small area. Several species are represented here.

I took so many baby capybara photos, please enjoy them. They grant a +3 bonus to mental health.

There is no official definition of a “zoo” in the United States. It is not defined under federal law or by the country’s zoological trade associations.

I have been working on societal impacts of language technology since late 2016, and my nightmare example since pretty early on has been using automatic transcription in emergency services systems. And today I learn it's happening *in my own city* www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news... Short 🧵>>

The web should be accessible to people with poor internet connections & assistive technologies. As a UX designer, I will absolutely die on this hill.

A good synthesis that cuts through all the swirling misinformation.

Hey guys, I'm offering a new service.

This tracks for Seattle. Also like, y’know what helps a ton with pollen? Wearing a respirator. I haven’t had bad seasonal allergies in years because I mask up outside during pollen season.

these are getting weird

I cannot emphasize the degree to which a data center next to a zoo is a massive endless Endangered Species Act violation. If this happens it /will/ be the end of the facility. Air quality issues kill birds. Constant loud noise destroys animal welfare. Both decimate visitorship. The zoo will close.

GNU Anthony Head. And a wail to the heavens. 💔

A funny side effect of having re-listened to the Magnus Archives so many times is that when fact-checking image attributions for work, all Creative Commons licenses are narrated in my head by @jonnysims.bsky.social. No regrets.

The past few weeks have been spent really trying to get to the crux of why I find AI so vitally insulting. I have to state it in a generally professional way, but professional does not mean devoid of emotion. I actually think it’s a professional responsibility to be honest about it in my situation.

While reporting on a large police presence breaking up a protest outside Delaney Hall ICE facility in New Jersey, Ali Velshi is escorted away by police.

Gotta start weaning off the google teat. My livelihood depends on all yall doing so.

Ruining another casual conversation by saying that generative AI is incredibly unreliable even for that one little thing you like to use it for

Wait for it ...

GNU, on the eve of the battle for Ankh Moorpork. May Anoia rattle your drawers in solace.

This is probably the most surreal way to learn an elementary school classmate is now a senior WH correspondent…

I asked my cat Otis, and she said I'm not allowed to go to bed until we sell 11 more shirts because that will get us to a nice round 200 (which will be 18% of the way to funding our fall bug mural project!!!) So idk, I think you need a shrimp shirt. Get one at SquidFacts.net

the fuck it will

Hate this!

Photo of the Day: Bornean Orangutans - Let's snuggle with Mama All photos on the repository are free-to-use for artists creating derivative/transformative works (sans AI).

Any time you use AI you are telling people three things: 1) you don't respect creatives or their work 2) you're okay with theft 3) you can't think for yourself

The world is terrible, but at least there are a baby capybaras. I’m hoping to bring joy (and free non-AI art references) to folk by photographing a fresh litter of capybara in a couple weeks. Help me make it happen, please? I promise so, so many cute photos for your eyes to feast upon.

Living in the PNW has taught me exactly how important respiratory protection is during fire season. I have chronic respiratory issues that makes symptoms of exposure more clear, but it is dangerous for everyone and holy shit. You do not want that in your lungs.

come on man.

Been annoyed by this for forever, even put it in my Securities Regulation slides

Many people get this wrong! The correct word for putting your body in a horizontal position is "lie." The past tense of that is "lay." What you never get when you point this out is "laid"

🚨New preprint and our results are rather concerning.. We find the "boiling frog" equivalent of AI use. Using large-scale RCTs, we provide *casual* evidence that AI assistance reduces persistence and hurts independent performance. And these effects emerge after just 10–15 minutes of AI use! 1/

feeling like you want to try and reduce human suffering today? even if we, as an individual, can’t do everything we wish we could, we can do more than pretend everything is fine—wear a respirator and break some denial today.

I asked for sexy sketch suggestions/ideas, and was inundated with a barrage of requests for a sexy frogfish. Like I think 95% of the people I interact with on here were asking, nay, DEMANDING a sexy frogfish. So here, a freakishly sexy frogfish that will keep you warm on cold nights.

If you’re only anti AI until you benefit from it personally, then you’re not anti AI.

HASTINGS: I say, Poirot, this vial’s labeled “hyaluronic acid”! Is it a poison? SKINCARE HERCULE POIROT: Non, mon ami. This acid, it replenishes the skin’s barrier naturale HASTINGS: So this is a gal who takes care of her skin. SKINCARE HERCULE POIROT: *irritated* The gentleman may use it as well
