My 4th grandma is smiling from beyond at the thought of me drooling over this 🤤

This entire 🧵 My spouse and I are currently debating whether we should allow Spawn to have a friend and friend's gf (who were never met) over, considering we are going to be away for a couple of hours. We trust Spawn but two other 16 year olds that we don't even know? Leaning towards a heavy no.

💯🎯 what's going to happen 👇‼️

My main grievance for the past dozen of years or so is the fact that we have to talk about Nazis in present tense.

Using the word “faith” as a synonym for religion, which so many people do without even thinking, reifies a post-Enlightenment culturally Protestant idea of what constitutes religion.

"Under this model, formerly colonized nations must ask permission to temporarily access their own heritage, accept conditions dictated by a British institution, and bear the financial and logistical burdens of care, while the museum retains ultimate control." British Museum fully delulu good lord

He's a criminal and a lying idiot. However, that's besides the point. The point is that to these people "AI" really is meant to solve one specific "problem." The eternal problem of labor and wages. bsky.app/profile/porc...

I should really heed my own advice. 🤦 I didn't say "that." 😔

You can use voice-to-text to add alt text to your photos. It can make describing an image much easier.

This is pretty cool for us South Jersey folks.

#Philly folks, can confirm that Zahav, Friday Saturday Sunday, and My Loup are absolutely worth it (I even wrote an essay about the last one).

You could have given me a dozen guesses and I wouldn't have been able to correctly identify this person

It's almost that magical time of the year 🎁

QTP with a robot that's not Star Wars or Transformers

Today Bari Weiss introduced the US to the idea of

You know you live in the #Pinelands when you come back home in a cul de sac and wonder why there's a couple of large dogs in your driveway, oh...

Over 30 selfie thread.

Microsoft: "Our AI bots can act as therapists." Me, looking at the typical MS product: Yeah, no fucking way.

The Dunning-Kruger Effect and the Streisand Effect, when merged, become the Bari Weiss Effect

Whoever designed and approved this #NJ themed atrocity, why? Why would you simply erase the existence of the #Pinelands??

@govmurphy.bsky.social while this bill won't solve the issue, it's still better than what we have today. I know you only have a few days left but could you take a break from packing and sign it?

Thread. 🧵

The entire 🧵 is absolutely on point but especially this ‼️‼️

But either way, the claims of AI being some amazing way to find "cures" are unscientific and damaging to our ability to discuss medical research. Modern AI is statistics and statistics just doesn't work that way (it cannot find cures); neither does clinical or any research (it cannot be automated).

Yup. Also AI in healthcare is a known huge problem and not some amazing "cure for cancer" which has always been an embarrassing nonsense phrase anyway.

This entire 🧵‼️

This is a very pro-soup account. Yet I've only tried half of these. Can't argue with the ones I've tried. I do wonder why there's only one Eastern European soup on the list. My grandma's traditional kletzki egg noodles chicken soup deserves to be on this list.

Wawa clearly knows the only correct way to refer to one of the best breakfast meats ever created.

#NJ definitely needs to do something to help the remaining 16 diners to survive and to thrive. Diners are a Jersey institution, a bloodline if you will. This though, is not the way you do it.

Pretty certain this was "written" by an LLM but still interesting to know... #NJ

Incredibly telling choice for the photo for this article. What do you have to say for yourself @politico.com ?

Sleep is overrated

Censoring a story about the outsourced regime gulag is not consistent with freedom of speech. But it is consistent with the belief that “free speech” is when conservatives can say what they want and when you can say what they want.

Ok now do CECOT’s death zone.

Three teens trying a seafood boil for the first time. This is going to be interesting.

Every accusation is a confession...

We really need to stop coddling stupidity.

An amazing 🧵 of delightful things in this world. What are yours?

The house is fully cleaned. Laundry done. Groceries bought in a battle royale. All holiday presents are wrapped and under the tree. A seafood boil is well boiling. A full glass of wine and two hours. Y'all might want to mute me for the rest of the night.

Exhibit #71: Vintage .50 caliber front loaded rifle and a smorgasbord of Native American arrows and spears and a broken bow.

They see reading as largely bothersome, and want to "get what they need" out of a text--which is of course completely objective and always correct 🙄--as quickly as possible. They didn't know how learning actually works, and they operate from such an impoverished idea of what it means to think.

Trying to decide what is more challenging to dust: Books Legos Bloody Skylanders No, please don't answer.

This sounded better in the original German.

This single sentence explains a whole lot of what we are dealing with right now in this timeline.

Hang this in the Louvre please.

Imagine non ironically saying this.

I will keep saying this. If you bought a calculator and it EVEN ONCE told you 2+2=5, you’d throw it out and demand a refund. If you had an employee who lied confidently to you, and was easily caught, you’d fire them. LLMs are the untrustworthy calculator and the confident liar. Fire them.
