I am once again begging, praying, weeping for lists of written instructions rather than videos. I do not want to watch your two minute video in the hope of catching the two seconds where you whizz past what goddamn menu the thing is under. Write. It. Down.

The result of AI boosters getting booed at commencement will NOT be them getting a wake-up call about AI skepticism. They will just stop speaking at commencements. But that’s a small win!

I'm sorry, what? In writing my first monograph, I spent six weeks trying to track down a citation in TWO languages I didn't know. And good thing too, because the citation was wrong. That's scholarship. That's research. You know, the thing we're trained to do?!?

Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

breaking my rule of not reposting politics because I havent seen much chatter about the recent losses on voting rights and it really is one of the more important things we can lose.

please do not teach the goats italian

we boof shrooms in this web zone

Deciding "grill pill" is a fine thing to say tells me that y'all have been hunted by your genderqueer boyfriends and it SHOWS.

hello large powerful creature mind if i sidle up behind you and do some very strange shit to your skeleton

ok, deep breath… we're discussing *potentially* adding post editing to Bluesky this year.

saw this on an ACT UP poster from 1988 at the Poster House museum today. the more things change :)

naturally

I once had a tiramisu in Mexico that was just 100% wrong. Dry where it was supposed to be moist, moist where it was supposed to be dry 0/10 recommend. Tbf it was my own fault. Don’t let someone drag you to an Italian restaurant at an all inclusive resort in Mexico

what are the Six Genders? wrong answers only

wheezing

Hawai’i just passed a bill that undermine Citizens United. The bill establishes corporations as “artificial persons” without the right to spend money on elections. The bill could limit the influence of super PACs and be a model to challenge the influence of money in politics.

Why bottom tomorrow what you can top today

Someone very likely paid thousands of dollars to make sure you heard the phrase “Clavicular brutally framemogged by ASU frat leader” through a system of opaque ad networks where paid content is not being disclosed

The older I get, the more I understand why Watterson quit. Being this on the money, all the live-long day, must have been exhausting:

Sometimes while doing homework, I just have to peek my head out to see what the aurora is doing--filmed last month near my apartment in North Pole, Alaska

Has anyone studied the cost of living crisis and the rise of polyamory

Talked to someone recently who mentioned something along the lines of “if you own a midsized home and can retire comfortably, you’re probably in the top 10%” It pains me so deeply. People would be so much more livid if they knew how bad the wealth gap actually is

Sorry but if you want to have political influence you need to get out of your left-wing bubble on Bluesky and start converting eight year olds to Marxism on Roblox

Beavers Are Ecosystem Engineers—and They Might Be Helpful Allies in the Fight Against Human-Caused Climate Change

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

I wish you well in your adult literacy journey

My throbbing, turgid brain, pulses with anticipation as Claude begins to respond

applying for unemployment, it asked what my usual job is, and I had to search it. I looked up "programmer" and "developer" and none of them seemed right, so I tried to search "software" but accidentally mistyped it as "dogy" ASSIGNED PUPPYGIRL AT UNEMPLOYMENT?

sure gas is headed to $8/gallon but at least cornell got rid of their gender studies classes. or at least i think they did, i haven’t checked and if im being honest i wouldnt really know if they had or hadnt because it doesnt affect me but it makes $8/gallon gas all worth it

IQ is fake. just like BMI.

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

Every time you blame an immigrant for the failures of neoliberalism, as Labour is always doing, you sow the seeds of fascism. Labour grew this far-right and now we're all dealing with the concequences

what a beautiful cultural exchange

the home alone shovel guy being categorized as a tsundere is the kind of sentence that would kill a victorian child instantly

At this point, solving climate change is cheaper than not solving it -- not only on some grand 50 year time horizon, but tomorrow, today, immediately. Soving climate change *is* affordability. Maybe Dems should tell voters about that.

I do not think starving the American people while also demonstrating that there's billions of dollars for making data centers and war is a good plan. "Let them compute" is a hell of a strategy.

I found a picture of the computer desk in my room in 2001 and I’m longing for the days that this was the only place the internet existed.

Utterly unserious, in fact dangerous, way to cover the outright unraveling of democracy

A bunch of extremely beautiful pictures of wind farms in China - all photographs by Weimin Chu e360.yale.edu/digest/china...

happy birthday to me, and my birthday twin John Brown

The rest of the world is watching and harassing Americans on social media instead of like, lobbying their governments to take action about any of the human rights crises, of which this is only one But it *is* a human rights crisis and an early stage of genocide

What say you, Bottom?

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

Virginia speaker of the house going "we respect the decision of the supreme court to disenfranchise millions of voters" really is the perfect distillation of the Democratic party

Hacking canvas? What do they think this is, the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum in 1990.

I don’t think it was a myth, I just think we need to update our mental models from “everybody agreed that Jim Crow was wrong” to “there remain people who think Jim Crow is right, and stopping them is an active, ongoing effort.”
