"Does the role really require a woman?" "No?" "Or youth?" "Er... No?" "Is being royal or nobility a must?" The dragon hesitated. "It's traditional..." "We can mention that it's a position traditionally filled by a princess," the HR consultant said, "but we do welcome all applicants." "Okay."

It’s wild because I have a buddy who’s been working with LLMs forever and he’s having a whole crisis because he sees other people getting rich by lying and he’s not built to do that.

The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

Wearing a unitard around like I’m going to workout at any moment, on the cusp of cheetah like speed, gotta be prepared for movement. *lays on couch

It is beyond insulting for @aaas.org to plan to host Brian Greene, an associate of Jeffrey Epstein, for a plenary talk at #AAAS2026, then cancel it the day before, only for the replacement to insist Greene was a “good scientist” and that he wished we could all hear from him.

Two of our senior mini horses, Jack and Dolly, breaking a trail in the snow. It always fills us with joy to see our older residents still living full, active, healthy lives!

It’s just a flowerpot.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon. Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

It was a long-simmering and deepening dismay with what this post describes that motivated me and @cnygren.bsky.social to propose this as one of our four frictions. www.publicbooks.org/four-frictio...

Fire Escape in Snow, NYC — Fred Stein, 1946

Explaining the plot of Scooby-Doo to my daughter and realizing the central irony of the show is that the gang cruises around looking for magic and mysteries that never pan out, while the only truly supernatural element is the talking dog they all ignore.

I wonder when we'll be ready to talk about how schools are now full of gameified dopamine slot machine apps for learning times tables, science, even reading itself, that are priming an entire generation for gambling and gaming addiction.

Happy Valentine's babe, I hope you like the nunchuck video I made for you.

I feel a strange need to repost this art. Sometimes art needs reposting y'know? Like this art. Did you know lionesses sometimes take out their males when the pride is under intense pressure? Apparently bees, ants, & termites do this too. #art Available as a print! www.inprnt.com/gallery/pala...

Weeeeeee!

When I think about CASABLANCA (all the time) I think about how when it was released the war wasn't over.

Gotta pay the turkey tax in this neighborhood, my friend.

Ofelia Torres, the teenage Chicago Public Schools student whose fight against cancer while her father was detained by ICE came to represent the federal government's overreach during Operation Midway Blitz, has died. Brave young woman. I will never forget her. RIP.

When my Dad worked in IT in the early 80s his computer room looked like this. It was air conditioned and we’d play hide and seek in it when he’d work on the weekends. It was rows or whirring tall blinking light towers and spinning circles.

Timeline cleanser 🫶 Never forget when Steve Irwin settled a fight between two kookaburras by speaking their language.

Just in time for #caturday, I noticed something very interesting on this ancient Greek pelike (jar) featuring Poseidon and Amymone. A very rare representation of a cat. It doesn't seem to be very impressed by the presence of the gods. Perhaps this is a scene from a play ... 🏺 1/ #MetMuseum 📸 me

Someone give Rockford some lip balm my god. He looks so parched.

Look alive Michigan aurora chasers! We have some tall, red pillars going up now that could be visible with the naked eye! If you have clear skies, look north NOW! go.theauroraguy.com/webcams

In my estimation this remake deserves MUCH more love. Such a solidly constructed and executed slasher that the non-3D version plays great too. That said! I will never forget seeing this opening night and having a fucking JAWBONE thrown at me the the theater. That sort of shit earns lifetime loyalty.

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading. Now we’ve got mumps rolling up. Expect more. This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.
