One of the more misogynistic takes currently trending in the AI policy space is "women use less AI than men because they have less tech literacy" Ok but have you considered that women use less AI than men because we have more tech literacy?

The Pittsburgh Pirates had a "score-bard" last night, with Shakespeare quotes for players' plate appearances. This was really fun to spot all night.

I think about this and want to invoke it every day since the day I heard it

My desire for chunky knitwear only increases with age and inability to buy. If I won the lottery I'd have a walk-in wardrobe room just for Fisherman style jumpers

the only "2fa" i wanna deal with is 2 fuckin' 'amburgers

Men just want one thing and it's disgusting (for a heavily armed woman to constantly save him from the consequences of his untreated mental illness)

Hell, and I cannot stress this enough, yes.

Just marched in my first Memorial Day parade in 25 years in Lawrenceville. My chops are fried but what a good time!

the Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eight Dimension is an insane example of giving money and no oversight to artists who promise a thing will work and it actually does.

get in losers we're doing Farscape discourse

## “Hurt” Cover by Devora There’s something about a really good cover of a favorite song that just digs right into me. This one is fantastic. She puts enough of her own spin on it but it’s still the song I love so much. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YTu3hM0Enk H/T Richard Kadrey (one of my […]

oh another "I can't believe Ann Leckie, who writes about fictional AIs, doesn't like Spicy Autocomplete!!!!" My sibling in Amaat, if you actually read my books you might want to work on your reading comprehension and then try again.

What a man. A dragon-man.

what an absolutely incredible 90 minutes of football, riveters keeper with the equalizing goal in the very last minute of stoppage time, amazing: bsky.app/profile/sick...

We went ballistic for this goal live. Incredible grit by the Riveters, absolutely amazing game. A perfect capper to a wonderful day.

RIVETERS GOALIE SCORED TO EQUALIZE AT THE END OF STOPPAGE TIME!!!!!!

RIVETERS GOALIE GOAL!!

seeing the Riveters goalie score the tying goal in stoppage time was exhilarating as hell

Also stop trying to make "Rivs" happen. #RivetersSC #Pittsburgh

A goalie goal off a corner kick at the end of stoppage time is a hell of a way to end a game!

Nail biter at the half #Pittsburgh #RivetersSC

There's nothing quite like a solid NIN cover.

this is the most millennial dad joke ever conceived

If you see Carmen Sandiego, no you didn't

The Cohen brothers are ruining Homer's legacy. Odysseus never records a hit song. This is an assault on western culture. I am very smart.

Off to another good start! #Pittsburgh #RivetersSC

I feel like I would be friends with this person…

Patrick Stewart as Gurney Halleck is one of those cases of a really good actor in a role that doesn't suit their talents. Though it did give us this legendary image:

Do you want to sell more copies of Draw Steel? Because this is how you sell more copies of Draw Steel.

The American Heart Association just posted this and tbh, I LOLed.

Interrupting this Mother’s Day evening to bring a pronouncement from my teenager: from this day forward every and all movie remakes shall be done only by the Muppets

The less aggro (and honestly more applicable to most of us) version of the “You’re trapped in here with ME” meme.

Just finished playing a set at #Pittonkatonk and holy cow the crowd is amazing.

How have I never been to Pittonkatonk before?

The main functionality I wanted from Phanpy for an Atmosphere client was the Catch-Up feature, and @alice.mosphere.at's Atmosphere fork Bluepy already has it working. No more having to scroll feeds, I can just...catch-up... 🥹

If Meta followed through on their promises of Fediverse Threads and Andy bridged his Threads account here with Bridgy Fed, he wouldn't need yet another account on a platform his company doesn't own to do comms about how his company isn't dying. 1/

Porting Phanpy to the Atmosphere has been on my list for a while (actually attempted it a couple times), so this is...this is amazing. Already warned @alice.mosphere.at that I'll be sending PRs and/or forking it. Phanpy is the best social media client I've ever used, and the Atmosphere needs it.

Pure software brain in the Whoop app: we failed to log your sleep correctly so please start holding real still at night so the computer thinks you’re sleeping

A new challenger appears 💥 You can now log into the Bridgy Fed settings page with your website using IndieAuth! Bridging your website to the Atmosphere and the Fediverse just got a whole lot easier.

## THE PEOPLE DO NOT YEARN FOR AUTOMATION > Software brain is changing the world, but most people still aren’t buying. Source: _BEWARE SOFTWARE BRAIN | The Verge_ I really like this explanation from Nilay Patel on “Software Brain” and how disconnected tech folks are from how “normies” live […]

If we had a better-funded transit agency, we could do this for other big events (Light-Up Night, Steelers games, the World Series) while still keeping a weekday schedule for the rest of the system.

I must not fear Fear is the mind-killer Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration I will face my fear I will permit it to pass over me and through me And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path Where the fear has gone there will be nothing Only I will remain.
