The Fantail js absolutely running away with this. Does the chickadee have anything left in the tank?

Today I am thankful for the unnamed mesoamerican genius who looked at the extremely unpromising seeds of a cacao tree and thought “I bet I can turn that into something that’ll change your life.”

Yesterday I found out that a famous local wildlife photographer doesn’t use an SLR, and takes all their photos on an integrated lens dad-cam. I tried to explain what a “dad-cam” was by googling for a definition. Sometimes it feels like the only purpose of my life is to serve as a warning to others.

Good morning to everyone except the asshole who designed the “child-proof” cap on my medication container.

I’ve probably seen more deaths than most people, and it’s not like it is in movies. Those that are conscious and not at the end of a long illness show a huge survivorship bias that has them utterly convinced it won’t happen even as it does. www.rawstory.com/lindsey-grah...

Born in a British colony and raised in a tradition of stuff upper lip, but even I have to admire the effort BBC interviewers are putting into not cracking up while interviewing the guy who will beat Oswald Mosley in a by-election while wearing a bin on his head.

This summer, Liam Neeson will receive a braid letter that will change everything. He is SIR PATRICK SPENS

“Doll, Woody Allen is not going to be remembered for playing the clarinet, or the movies, or the bucket hat. It’s going to be the other thing.”

I’ve personally spent at least $4,000,000,000 on AI just this morning, and if you’re not keeping up you’re going to get left behind!

Are you writing historical romance and wanting to get the religion right? Are you writing SFF and wanting to get the religion weird (but in a good way)? I'm offering a one hour consult via @romancingthevote.com www.32auctions.com/organization...

Helen Hunt in Hacks is low-key the role of a lifetime

My first act as emperor will be to prohibit kererū from attempting to fly. It’s gone on for far too long already and it’s just too dangerous: for them, for bystanders, and for any nearby trees.

This is totally gonna make chess chaotic

apparently we can all just make our own bishops now

Really hoping @vincent.northsky.social shows up soon to contextualise whatever the hell is happening in the Catholic church right now

I’m less worried about why Max Planck might have a plagiarist and more worried about how access to the entirety of human scientific knowledge is controlled by a handful of corporations that are clearly far too stupid to be in charge of anything this important.

I’m just a boy, standing in front of a supermarket monopoly, asking it to please ship me a lettuce that isn’t rotten before it even gets to my house

surprisingly absolutely no one

I care deeply about, like, 8 people in my life and somewhere between 400 and 600 dogs on the internet I've never met.

My favourite Om Malik memory is when he made me unemployable by broadcasting something sarcastic I’d written to a few million of his closest friends. He was so lovely it was difficult to stay mad. He forwarded me links for years afterward with “looks like this guy still wants to fight you!”

The world has too many centre-left parties that want to be taken seriously but don’t seem to want to win elections.

While we’re loving on Neck of the Woods, it was a privilege to share a street with a live venue staffed by people who wanted to be there. Their bouncers helped me carry donated computers and junk more than once, and loudly corrected drunk idiots who tried to hassle Gus. (Obligatory Gus pic)

“When I use a word,” the AI bro said in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less.” “The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.” “The question is,” said the AI bro, “which is to be master - that’s all.”

I was raised on these streets

my whole family was raised on this street in particular

I was really hoping he'd hang in one more day so I could celebrate properly in a pub in Glasgow instead of an airport north of Stockholm.

every single time the UK has a prime minister things get worse maybe they should stop having them for a while

I just profoundly don’t understand the pool thing and now I’m just too scared to ask

Add these 4 words to your vocabulary right now, experts say: They can make you more influential at work “Don’t click on garbage.”

If you hear someone around you unironically using the term “remigration”, that means you need to reload, because a huge wave of zombies is approaching.

I have no strong feelings about Helen Clark and I am instinctively distrustful of white NZ men who do, but watching the Topp memorial it’s hard not to notice how fundamentally disengaged and incapable our current representatives are.

In Auckland? Don’t sleep on Foodie in Westgate. Imagine Lim Chhour 3x the size, with no bonus arthropods.

Can’t sleep? Simple methods that work: • study hurricane forecast • who hates me • what did i forget • relive supreme humiliation • win 12-yr-old argument • buried alive? could happen • what i did vs should have done • dead people i miss • what if i’m bad • why do i say stuff • what’s my fuckin deal

if you want to make a billion dollars and retire early, start a VPN provider right now that ignores all the old people torrenting bullshit and uses targeted affiliate marketing and promotion specifically to reach children, then build in some way of profitably betraying them by selling the metadata

We have 3 of 5 petals done for our Hortus Arborerum sculpture and it looks so like the renderings I made! I always am shocked when that happens

Alfonso Cuarón’s Children of Men is 20 years old and remains the most spectacularly accurate prediction of our collective future I’ve ever seen. Not even the main plot, just the way the future looks and works.

as long as your kids are allowed anywhere near roblox there’s literally no point in any of this bullshit

Does publishing research that mistakes weak correlation for a causative relationship cause a persistent drop in birthrate? We ask the experts.
