speaking of interiors our house is objectively very nice. but the ultra-modern white gallery box with super tall ceilings, utter lack of window trim, baseboards, room divisions, and so on is really harshing my groove. i need to add TEXTURE. but texture is so EXPENSIVE and it just sits there.

one of those things young'uns these days cannot understand ... how in the late90s early 2000s, being online was a hobby it was something you *did* not something you just *were*

Given the lack of details provided by Taylor Farms thus far, Consumer Reports' food safety experts are advising folks in the 27 states implicated by the recall to discard ALL iceberg lettuce until we know more about where the parasite-linked products ended up www.consumerreports.org/health/food-...

The way this recall has been handled so far is absolutely bizarre. Instead of listing brand names, Taylor Farm used internal abbreviations for all the products impacted I was able to get Walmart and Sysco to confirm their products were impacted, but the lack of details is a nightmare for consumers

The Anne Lamont line that goes “you don’t always have to cut with the sword of truth, sometimes you can just point with it” has been helpful for me.

soz, millennial grey is real, was a backlash to beige, AND it was a bottom-up creation. landlords + flippers didn't invent it. flippers especially do what sells, not what they like. manufacturers don't make grey flooring and furniture just for landlords. but lickable is superior++

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

adding a new food today: trader joe's refried beans. a couple posts in the corn allergy group say it's a-okay and their non-refried beans have been good to us. 🤞🤞

Ooh I’m on a produce hunt, a raw-food stunt Are you gonna mess with my microflora? Ooh you make my stomach grunt, my stomach grunt Nom it just right off the shelf, cyclospora

Someone should ask Werner Herzog if he’d rather eat 100 glizzies or die of big booty disease.

After a conversation with a colleague: if someone’s only experience of AI is chatbots and ambient exposure to the need for checking for accuracy or its ecological costs, they will be genuinely surprised by any further information you provide about its uses in government, policing, commerce etc 1/n

i need this poster-sized for my office (also hat tip for excellent alt text)

this isn’t cute, democracies only do this when they’re very sick (with gerontocracy)

We are given only a limited number of truly perfect summer days in our time on Earth. One of the more insidious cruelties of fossil fuel greed is how it slowly strips those days from us, more and more throughout our lifetimes, perhaps without us even realizing what we have lost.

I must not discourse. Discourse is the mind killer. Discourse is the little death That brings total obliteration. I will turn away from the marketplace of ideas. I will permit it to pass over me and through me And when it has gone past, I will not look back. Because I don't care. Only I will remain.

100% endorse maybe a “big account” (lmao) should refrain from highlighting total randos but if the total rando is in your replies — or genuinely heinous — all bets are off. shouldn’t have been making bets in the first place. don’t write checks your ass can’t cash. and so on.

rocco is such a weird little guy doesn’t care about rabbits. or lizards. not even when they’re RIGHT THERE. same for quail. but he goes absolutely mad for TARANTULAS (he doesn’t want to hurt them, he just loves to sniff them out and then act confused about what to do next)

does any character speak the words 'the odyssey' in the odyssey to me this is the hallmark of a worthy film for audiences to share a moment together and look at one another knowingly

whoaaaa

writer defending links in his piece with "?utm=chatgpt" saying he used to to… "look up" references. what does "look up the refs" mean? and "[go] to the right place"? if you, the author, HAD the refs already, because you USED THEM to write the piece, why would you not simply… go to them?

this is a Good Post about using a chatbot for "research"

Worker housing without AC is a systemic silent killer because when you're out in the fields in the heat all day and then you go home to a hot house, your body never actually gets a chance to cool down and that is very bad for you! There's a reason kidney disease is very common in farmworkers.

brooklyn 99 spent an entire b plot of an episode on captain holt and his husband arguing about THE MONTY HALL problem that’s artistry you just don’t get any more smh

"Why's that bad?" Because the forestry budget is what pays for controlled burns. And also "stopping wildfires from ripping through the state"! A state that's nearly half forest!

This entire thread is shit but especially this part is shit. An editor who destroys your confidence is a shit editor.

Why do the anon smart alec bros always go after a certain kind of woman.

can't take an ~executive~ man seriously when he's trying to make a Serious Business Point but he's wearing clamdiggers and flats and his bare fuckin ankles are showing

understanding the "identified patient" dynamic in dysfunctional families is critical to understanding the united states

"i'm meaning my titties AND the horse" lmao

there are no heroes in llm-land but the chinese modelmakers thieving directly from the us modelmakers who thieved from the whole world is a very sweet parallelism

art is woke because to be truly great art requires awareness and introspection

you know what most people want to watch? they want to watch good movies unfortunately for the chuds all the good movies are woke

A thing about the "AI" debate in science is that I almost never see anyone asking, "well sure LLMs or whatever can be useful sometimes—but what if we put all the money spent on 'AI' into hiring more humans, furthering other technologies & invest into research helping scientists science better"

Probably more helpful to think of them not so much as “Canadian wildfires” but rather “climate change wildfires currently consuming Canada”

Taylor Farms being responsible for the outbreak is like the old man who owns the amusement park being the Scooby Doo villain. You don’t say

alone in the dark (2005) absolutely no contest. the first 3 minutes had scrolling text AND a voice over. the rest had secret twins, secret government agencies, aliens, biological experiments, tara reid as the world’s most unbelievable scientist, a real pirate (yarrr) and more

bad art friends! jk jk but seriously, to have taste is to experience pain

this is the inverse mcdonald's coffee scald lady. or just generally, "whoever smelt it, dealt it". taco bell did the right thing. and it wasn't their (direct) fault. unlike that time chipotle's internal practices made people sick.

There are people in this country working right now to stop us from doing anything about crises that are literally killing people. They do it with climate change, infectious diseases, etc. Others, sycophants and “we know best” economist types, are the handmaidens of destruction. No hell hot enough.

if these headlines don't get edited down to vacuous "some say" society pages bullshit, i will consider saying something nice about the nyt other than "they employ bouie"

and please note the professor here is NOT the other hakeem jeff* you might mistakenly read his name as
