I kinda love my body’s reaction to COVID boosters. Its like clockwork. ~12 hours of mild fever, little headache, slightly achy. Then I feel great. Being just a bit sick, but knowing you’ll be fine in a few hours is kinda cute.

after careful study, I believe only people born between 1975 and 1995 should be allowed to use the internet

I've been pretty lucky w.r.t. to navigating US healthcare thus far. However my use of a GLP-1 for weight loss has now run head-long into the push-back from insurance and PBMs. (I'll be fine) Its almost impressive how perfectly the system is designed to maximally extra money from consumers.

Oh no! This is the worst news ever. Terrible tragedy. Whatever will we do? How will we ever go on? www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Screw polling data. I want the data on what percent of people are responding "Stop", "Quit" or sending profanities to the mindbogglingly tone-deaf fundraising texts Schumer and Jeffries are sending today.

So tomorrow, what happens if you start being raptured, but then blaspheme on the way up? Should I just wear a parachute all day tomorrow?

Go back to sleep it wasn’t that big.

Researchers said “95 per cent of organisations are getting zero return” from their investments in generative AI. The stock drop also came days after OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman signalled an AI bubble might be forming. “Are investors over excited? My opinion is yes,” Altman said RED ALERT

had it make one for me and oh my god

Motherfucking wind farms…

I cannot stress this enough SF queers, but you have to see JurassiQ ParQ at @sfoasis.bsky.social. One of the best things I have seen in years.

Gerrymandering is bad, but that’s not what this fight is about. I support California’s current model for creating the congressional districts. The problem is everyone else isn’t playing fair. Complaining that no one else is playing fair gonna get some of us killed.

If Link has a single line of dialog, then this movie isn't faithful to the source material and should be met with derision.

My Catholic high school pulled these out to watch the OJ verdict live.

OK so MCP is just the mid-2020s reinvention of CORBA?

"Andrew Cuomo is visibly upset and people are crying"

a friend of mine shared this ai-generated "emotion wheel" and unfortunately i have been laughing my ass off at it for like 15 minutes now. today i am feeling Fnliinneon

this is a day for those of us who have spent the last six months terminally online. this is for us and honestly, we deserve it.

I hate this, so you all have to see it too

TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

So many people have grown up to be the villains of our stories.

Cannot wait for San Francisco to finally unite around our greatest strength: preventing something from being built.

"The study revealed that AI chatbots actually created new job tasks for 8.4 percent of workers, including some who did not use the tools themselves, offsetting potential time savings." Polite way to say people using AI is wasting a bunch of other people's time.

If you buy into the myth of big-tech hiring only the smartest people, the only thing you need to dissuade you of that is to see how often they utterly fail to properly open a 1/2 gallon carton of milk in the office kitchen.

It’s my 46th birthday and as with most years I will be spending it with my dad, because today is his 81st birthday.

In my professional life I've found the best way to get things done is to start out extremely nice and accommodating. When that fails I will pivot to relentless bullying. Then cycle back and forth as things escalate. This strategy has served me very well.

If modern media politics has taught us anything it’s that repeating a lie over and over again makes people believe it. In unrelated news, JD Vance killed the Pope.

I’m all for walkable cities, but someone has got to teach these suburbanites how to walk. No it’s not OK for your group of 8 to walk side-by-side and take up the entire path in both directions. (I hate baseball season)

What do we think the fashion aesthetic is going to be for the up and coming profession of Chinese-consumer-goods smuggler? A play on 18th century pirate? Han Solo scruffy? Prohibition era slick zoot suit?

Good morning BlueSky.

that study showing extreme wealth basically causes brain damage is the Rosetta Stone of the modern age

Just thinking about what the US looked like before the EPA existed

Much as I like Pride & Prejudice I find it impossible to deny that this is the greatest review of it of all time.

I really hope someone can keep this institution around.

At a red light on my 🚲 commute a pedestrian strikes up a convo about distrust of AI vehicles as one passed. I comment human drivers can be scarier, we agree on skepticism of computers and AI. Light turns green. I’m halfway through the intersection when he says loudly “Ted Kozinski was right.”

AS PROMISED:

I feel like after today we can pretty much say, "Yeah, we're the baddies."

A friend of mine sent me this. Apparently some workplace harassment training had a text-to-speech laundry list of slurs. Someone created a remix of it. I'm obsessed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVs8...
