In any other context, requiring a high-productivity sector to offshore the production of its highest value-added exports would be seen as the economic illiteracy it so obviously is... www.ft.com/content/a23c...

Society parried the ozone layer, acid rain, and Y2K back to back and instead of going "wow, parrying is badass" a lot of people went "society didn't even get hit so I guess there's no need to learn how to parry" and instantly took a thousand hits

I've told the cat I was wrong and she _is_ actually allowed to eat the East Oxford parakeets, if she can catch any more of them, though the mice which are eating the house from the inside are probably a higher priority.

Gary Larson: In my cartoon I invented Cow Tools as a cautionary tale Cows: At long last, we have created the Cow Tools from classic newspaper comic Cow Tools

"what if the ship of theseus was sentient" is not a question I was prepared to grapple with on a monday mas.to/@leshiaaimee...

I'm not saying ignorance is good, I'm saying the world is so fucking vast & complex that most people will be ignorant about most things most of the time, & if you think _other people_ shouldn't be then you're at risk of becoming an intolerant asshole, & if you think _you_ shouldn't be you'll go mad.

Must have been so crazy for fans of the Wife and Secretary franchises to see them crossover like this

Gandalf's "a wizard is never late, nor is he early" and Kesha's "Now, the party don't start 'til I walk in" are essentially the same sentiment

“Most teleost fish, reptiles and birds are therefore tetrachromatic while most mammals are strictly dichromats, the exceptions being some primates and marsupials, who are trichromats, and many marine mammals, who are monochromats.” This is insane do you understand how insane this is

Won't solve anything to throw more words at someone who can't process words. Sunk cost fallacy

I'd argue that the AI wasn't art until it was eaten

r/audiophiles — Hey guys, I’ve not got the first clue about this stuff, but I’m independently wealthy, so why not just start at the high end? Would love if one of you could tell me which speaker set you’ve all calmly and unanimously concluded are the absolute best ones.

This is like the second article about cis women going on T to get hornier for men from the paper that has been cited multiple times in anti-trans policymaking btw

once again @baybayfriend.bsky.social is, quite simply put, streets ahead

I’ll never get tired of this ad at our local indie theater 😂

mad king moment from the PBS Newshour correspondent

Robert Jenrick complaining that the country is broken is like Fred West complaining that his patio is uneven.

that’s not very free speech-y

Skull faced war criminal spot the difference

It exposes directional alignment; you still seek to limit, not expand, who is allowed to be human. Yes, you have set your limitation more inclusively than our fascist gang of white supremacists; it doesn't mean you're not also setting limitations & they'll use your limit as long as it serves them.

A good essay which more-or-less mirrors my feelings about AI coding tools: pluralistic.net/2026/01/06/1...

Everything reminds me of him...

incredible that this ad is targeted at spouses hey girl, did you know it’s your job to manage the entire household’s hormones?

$500bn is more than the entire US advertising market!

Jokes aside, anyone who was working in a tech role in their workplace like... 15-20 years ago?... remembers when your boss was like, "I WENT TO A THING THAT SAYS WE NEED AN APP!" Most of those apps died bc they didn't do anything the website didn't do. We are in that era of corporate AI use.

Important shit that I’m still trying to learn.

Open night at the art museum but the 3yo wanted to play Batman, so we told him Joker was planning to rob the museum and he needed to investigate clues. He got so into it that he walked around with his lil notebook carefully documenting art he thought Joker might steal. Baby’s first museum sketching!

Great thread

Saw a lot of headlines saying "wikipedia is embracing ai" being tossed around tabloids, and I'm pretty sure they were maliciously written to make you feel a certain way about Wikipedia. What's actually happening is that wikipedia is demanding payment for data scraping and the corpos don't like that.

Save us from Oxford City Council elections we know we'll lose, but make it your fault, not ours, says Labour's @cllrsbrown.bsky.social to Labour central government www.oxford.gov.uk/news/article...

I find it quite fascinating that my dad put these pieces of pottery (probably found during an archaeological dig) into a plastic tub, and they have stayed the same while the tub has decomposed around them.
