Here's the adult vaccination recommendations as of Nov 2024. Why did I save these? Because I knew someone was going to try to stomp on this, and not today, Satan. Not today. #CDC #vax #vaccines #getvaxxed

As is fairly obvious, I love reading, and I'm happy that my son does too. But I don't always love the way we talk about child literacy, nor where the UK media tends to place the blame for those rates' recent, and worrying, fall.

Why do I have to read an Irish paper for a feature about this?

This is an outrageous abdication of journalistic duty. Grok's apology was prompted by a human, as was its equally vehement self-defense. People are willingly hurling themselves into the AI trashbin at the bidding of oligarchs who will happily remove them from their jobs.

look i just want to understand why a senator from vermont is swearing in the NYC mayor once upon a midnight dreary, i was a bernie broad, these days i just have a lot of questions

This is why they want us talking about day care scams.

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

How do you maximize safety and privacy for a tool that is unethical and based on theft????????

i’m watching a british tv show and someone brought up “the speaker’s woolsack” and i flatly refuse to believe that is a real thing deeply unserious people

The point is not to put more fact shaped things in your head than anyone else. It’s to understand the ones that are there on a deep and meaningful level.

“”LLMs allow me to find research for the first time!” My brother in Christ, have you ever heard of a library?

Could be me, but I want to create something that comes from ME when I set out to write. I just want ownership of everything with my name on it. You ask an AI writer what they wrote, do they even know, can they even account for it?

I want to dare to use language as only a human can, to practice forms no machine can reliably replicate.

Have you seen "prompt engineers" or "AI artists" jealously guard or hide their prompts or accuse others of stealing their 'work' (prompts)? Incredible shit

You might be thinking, "CPSC, does a dry Christmas tree really burn that much faster than a well-watered tree?" Friend, let's find out together by watching this PSA.

good. now [redacted].

The Trump administration is trying to retaliate against Boulder and Colorado by shutting down one of the most important scientific laboratories in the world, the National Center for Atmospheric Research. This is a five alarm fire.

Climate denialism, empowered by nihilists and know-nothings, undermining science & destroying the evidence that they previously just rejected. Meanwhile, out here in WA, roads are sliding into rivers (an unprecedented weather event) b/c it’s too damn warm to be raining this hard for this long.

Tonight Giljagaur, the second of Iceland's 13 Yule Lads, comes down from the mountains. He likes to sneak into the cow shed and steal milk. All the children put a shoe out in the window for him to put a treat or a little gift in – if they have been good that is. The bad children get a potato.

There isn't a single problem "solved" by edtech that couldn't be fixed with smaller classes led by well-paid teachers given real academic freedom

epic will pay for every game that gets claimed this way so yes, you are still giving money to rowling (and by extension an international campaign against trans people) by claiming this there are other, better franchises - let this one go

i will never apologize for a post

Trekkies will see it 🤣

Hey @erinbiba.bsky.social this doesn’t qualify as weirdtok but it’s too delightful not to share. Pure joy at one of life’s most wonderful experiences.

Wash your fucking hands. I beg.

It's time for the "How to do ALT text" image again. Writing a perfect ALT text is impossible, but please try 💚! Visually impairment is a wide spectrum and doesn't keep people from loving the visual arts. 🐡 #art #kleinekunstklasse #artadventcalendar

Tornadoes can't hurt you on Wednesdays

I better see her getting stepped over on the way to 2026 by that cartoon lady in heels. Leave her with 'broken promises' and 'insecurity'

we’ve got to Cask of Amontillado these people Hillary come check out my wine cellar, I have new polling data down there which says you should totally run again in 2028. bring your husband and James Carville

As worthy as many organizations are, if you want your money to have a real bang for its buck on this Giving Tuesday, there are poor people struggling just to stay housed and fed all around you. Help them first.

And still, there are those who say that Americans can’t do irony.

i used to live in the mountains so i have done winters from october to june with -40 time and honestly i just want to go back 😭😭😭😭😭😭

float James Carville out to sea on a barge

4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day. On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day So gather around children, for this is the tale of The Rice Truck Saga

Yesterday I tried to put everything I knew about whistles—where to get them, where to get instruction sheets, how to distro—into one place so you can build off it for your own community's whistle needs: dansinker.com/posts/2025-1...

What’s the babadook up to these days? I hope he’s doing ok.

Hey yall not what I wanted to do on my birthday but let it be clear "Death of the artist" is all well & good but you cannot Seperate the art from the artist when the artist is still alive, a terf & every penny they recieve reinforces their beliefs & is used to actively harm Trans folks! Let it Go!

Goats are on the case!

Star Trek is always so relatable. I’m human and I also don’t have any money…
