I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...

Hello, come rub my belly. I won’t hurt you.

This is pure joy.

What - and I mean this from the bottom of my heart - the fuck.

This is a great piece, informed by experience and knowledge as well as righteous anger. www.forever-wars.com/watching-bar...

A belated Happy Holidays from the lads.

The bear is now one of the renegades of the Intellectual Dark Web

This entire weekend

What a life this man lived.

I almost let #TerrierTuesday go by without posting a photo of this magnificent specimen.

It’s extremely November outside today, so here is a photo of Corfu in March.

Just look at this handsome fella. #TerrierTuesday

DOGE did not fail in any way to accomplish its goals. Its goals were never efficiency or saving money. Its goals were to destroy as much of government as possible forever, and to steal data for the Space Nazi. DOGE is fading away like bank robbery gangs fade away after the robberies are done.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

Happy #TerrierTuesday to all who celebrate.

The competition’s pretty fierce, but … dang.

WOW, new signage!

Harvard seems to have a problem, too.

"Here’s the kicker: We even got them to agree not to pass the healthcare subsidies that we’ve been working for. You know, the ones average Americans rely on. Here’s how we did it: We asked, then they said, 'No way,' and then we said, 'Okay.' That’s how you win." www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/gre...

WTF?

“Money once used to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement will now be used to give millennials free avocado toast.”

Interlaken. Dang, I like it in Switzerland.

They like each other.

I’m … not shocked.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it. The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait. At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Circumcised early? Really? People should wait a few years on that? Lol

live your life in a manner so that jane goodall would not have wanted to ship you off planet as soon as possible

This is an extremely well done interview. I’d use it in class if I still taught.

The Intercept is launching a new podcast series reported and hosted by @radleybalko.bsky.social, a trailblazing investigative journalist who has been covering the drug war and the criminal justice system for more than 20 years. theintercept.com/2025/10/01/c...

There is a gulf in America. I submit it is the gulf between good and evil, or at least not-evil and evil. The gulf is not just between people who oppose this and people who are indifferent to it or reluctantly accept it in support of immigration policy or see it as collateral damage. /1

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

“In early September, days before Bessent’s announcement, Citrone purchased more Argentine bonds.” Nothing to see here, folks.

Really need to normalize calling these “Kavanaugh stops.”

So exhausting..

Kitten wishes a happy #caturday to all her comrades in war-ravaged Portland.

look, it is comforting to think that your political opponents are, at the end of the day, just people like you who really want us all to live together as Americans. it's just very obviously not *true* in MAGA's case, as you can tell through, well, what they say and do.

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school. Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families? My own colleagues are silent.

This is Finny. He doesn’t go chasing waterfalls. He carefully studies their timing and arrives in advance. 14/10 very impressive (TT: jordancain70)

The Trump Administration pulls funding for deafblind kids because of "concerns about 'divisive concepts' and 'fairness.'" So glad they're bringing wokeness to its knees. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

The Right’s “outrage” over the Cracker Barrel logo is an example of something important and disturbing at the heart of this fascist movement Their rage is often about shit they don’t even care about. It’s the same thing as an unhappy guy getting mad at commercials. It’s just channeling their misery

if "bigballs attacked by two 15 year olds" is our Reichstag fire then i officially declare an end to history because we don't want anybody reading that shit later

This is so cool.

Read this interview with a personal hero, Professor @daniellecitron.bsky.social: "we have essentially presumed that data collection is a good...We have long ignored this important inclination that collection itself is endangering our privacy and civil liberties" www.politico.com/newsletters/...

Puts down my beach book, logs on and … just no. JFC on a pita. I’m going to stare at blue water and a distant squall for the rest of the day.
