Authors beware: ClaimsHero is urging authors to opt out of the Anthropic settlement in order to file their own separate lawsuit. Except this outfit has no federal or state court experience with class-action suits. And the judge has called them a fraud.

Friendly reminder that dishwashers made after 1995 or so are so water and energy efficient that even if you ran them twice fully loaded it would still use less water than handwashing the same load. So many "green" things feel like sacrifices. Dishwashers are not one of them.

We don't really know how bicycles work.

Dan Baker announces that the Sleepout at Citizens Bank Park raised over ONE MILLION DOLLARS for Covenant House!!!!

8675309 is prime, and so is 8675311, so if you ever need a middlin'-large pair of adjacent primes to test your cryptographic suite, all you need is a 1980s earworm and a +2 and you're all set.

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

Time to move past the neverending trial stage. Yes, basic income reduces homelessness.

Looks like LLMs are *very* vulnerable to attack via poetic allusion: "curated poetic prompts yielded high attack-success rates (ASR), with some providers exceeding 90% ..." https://arxiv.org/html/2511.15304v1

“I’ve had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of time by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit - all for my country. I never thought I’d see a president call for my execution.” Sen. Mark Kelly

The party that promised "free speech on campus" has made sure there can be no free speech on campuses.

Warp drives. Orbital habitats. Space elevators. The golden age of 20th century science fiction produced dreams with some things in common — they're extensively designed, in no sense real, and possibly strangling the future. @goldwagnathan.bsky.social on the weird platonism of sci-fi for Heat Death!

*sigh*

My hometown absolutely floored me this past week. FLOORED. For safety reasons, I haven’t said much about it. But I’m so damn proud of my family and friends. So proud.

I'll be outside this weekend handing out propaganda to the masses about supporting @nycplan.org's 0.5% demand for our public libraries. Do I have a lot of other things to do? YES. Do I do as I do not merely as I say? Also YES.

I think about how big tech openly and frictionlessly scrapes/steals everything to train AI models every time I have to work through a multi-part, multi-month research ethics review process to interview a half dozen people who actually want to talk to me about their work.

Brilliant episode of @techwontsave.us open.spotify.com/episode/0xhO...

yes, this! it’s a perfect encapsulation of how MAHA exploits gaps in healthcare to make that money

REP. RAMIREZ: “Tear gassing a 1 year old 🇺🇸 citizen… Dragging a citizen on her way to work out of her car… Throwing tear gas at a children’s Halloween parade… It’s time to have a serious conversation about defunding ICE.”

I haven't had enough time to process this yet but, I've studied the anti-vax movement for 7 years of my career and I can't believe I'm now at the point where I can't recommend the CDC as a trustworthy source of health information. This is dangerous, insane, and embarrassing.

Right wing seems to believe the culture is moving progressively bc somebody is telling/manipulating people to do that (Obama, Soros, Universities, etc) & if somebody else is in charge they can make people move right. But just because they need a Daddy telling them what to do doesn’t mean we all do.

I’m howling.

When I wrote about John Comaroff in SAPIENS "The Case Against Harvard," I made the same argument so many women are making now. Yes. We're mad that these abuses continue. But we're even madder that everyone has always known about it. You just look away. Every. Time. You just look away.

Please be gentle with the criminals in your life. They’re having a tough month.

Man, you uh, you should delete this. You should learn some history, but before that yeah you should delete this. Clearly you don't know how fucked up what you said is, obviously, but man. Delete this.

I am truly and genuinely so glad you asked! This site is a one-stop shop for reasons why ULINE sucks ass, and a massive link list of handy alternative companies AND a short blacklist of ULINE-alikes to avoid! refuseuline.com

I love the Dropkick Murphys because "Irish-American" + "gen X" + "punk rocker who's been at it for 30 years" should be the formula for the most racist guy alive but instead Ken Casey is constantly giving interviews where he's like "fascists are demons from hell and that's where they belong"

Good morning I’m taking my partner to work. My checking account is negative $120 from a doctor bill. Please send tips so i can avoid overdraft fees and get food later and pay bills and stay alive Love you thank you

I reformatted every machine I had with Windows on it. It all started with the inability to store things locally, with the default being EVERYTHING MUST BE IN CLOUD. WHY ARE YOU NOT CLOUDING? …and ended with “we’re going to take everything on your machine, and we mean everything, to feed our AI.”

Maya in 1933: "I met the publisher responsible for Der Stürmer and its publication of Jewish crimes. They told me how they they didn't want Jewish crimes recorded as German crime so they set up the publication to ensure accuracy to the Volksgemeinschaft."

Hi, I’m a website, product, or service you’ve relied on for years without incident. Great news: I’ve now been revamped with a mandatory AI component that makes me unusable.
