YES! To borrow one of their sloppiest metaphors, slop-takes are an Ouroboros, feasting on their own logic and cultural despair. Let's go find some art somewhere else!

We need to talk about slop slop houseofmirrors.substack.com/p/slop-slop

The person who coined this word is probably still alive, and we can ask them what it felt like to say this for the first time.

Prentis Hemphill: "I only want to spend time with men who are traitors to that project, the project of patriarchy and patriarchal violence. I want to hang out with traitors and snitches and betrayers of that system." [kottke.org]

What a find in the @publicdomainrev.bsky.social

Submitting some 2026 colour ideas to @pantone in case it’s not too late for them to change their mind (more in thread)🏺🎨

I didn't know I (Type 1 Diabetic + elder millennial) needed an angry big sister, but boy did I find a great stand-in for one in @maris.bsky.social.

Gol dang Budgie is so charismatic.

The @publicdomainrev.bsky.social is so rad

This person is a charlatan. Why is there so much uncritical coverage of this obvious nonsense? Where is the actual journalism?

New Substack about late night standup sets and the jokes I love from them. With late night in mortal peril, I want to celebrate the really outstanding tight fives it’s given us. My first comic is @joshgondelman.Bsky.social and his 2018 Seth Meyers set. open.substack.com/pub/thatsthe...

Look how they frame the "ethics" of AI copyright infringement. Throwaway mention of infringement of copyrighted material. NO concern for the university's academics, writers and artists whose work was stolen to build these tools designed to replace them.

I am one of the 14 authors who chose to leave the Polari Prize, and I find myself frustrated and saddened at the way this entire story has been represented. 1/

In the Future All Food Will Be Cooked in a Microwave, and if You Can’t Deal With That Then You Need to Get Out of the Kitchen

I forgot how great this soundtrack is! It doesn't even have "Grow Old with You"

#PeoplePower works! The backlash has forced WeTransfer to remove the rights grabby clause 6.3. Here is the awful clause that was in the TOS last night, and what it is now. The AI and derivatives chunk of text is gone. Well done everyone!

Here's a super-useful "starter pack" for these ideas (namely, that LLMs are an information-processing technology that can't think any more than a market or bureaucracy can, and we should listen to the people who already study these huge systems)

OWL chose a great example of a review for their citation guide. I assume this is a huge honor for @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social

Holy cow this thread is good

Today's ACIP meeting is usually a time where experts come together to inform the future of vaccines. That is not what today will be. That is not what we can stand behind. The AAP will continue to recommend its own childhood vaccine schedule -- just as we have since the 1930s

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.” Absurd we still need to go through this 🧪👩‍🔬

It is beyond frustrating to try to debate these chowderheads about human rights -here's a very satisfying skewering to read.

Thomson Reuters has won the first major AI copyright case in the US. The decision has big implications for the battle between generative AI companies and rightsholders.

I just got the digital+print (for students/educators) priced for $6. Print edition is going to my in-laws for some solidarity

I LOVE Interlibrary Loan. Very excited to browse this one from @isaacfitzgerald.bsky.social and Wendy MacNaughton

It may not be the right media moment for a new anthology TV series, but this would be perfect for that medium #dnd

@dantelfer.com is great and deserves more than he'll get. And he's the DM on my favorite D&D podcast Nerd Poker!
