So LinkedIn can't even upload a photograph lmao, does anyone even work there any more or is it all AI agent-driven?

If Let's Game It Out been around in the 1980s

Jameela Jamil diagnoses how self-righteousness isn't the strategy that beats fascism. Forego the cheap shots against allies and work towards something strong enough to defeat them. ✊🏼

meta is so bad at what it claims to try to do, why in the hell would I want to see a promo for a show that happened last month? Posted over a week ago? Idiotic.

Researchers at Stanford University modeled how many people could die or be disabled in 25 years if vaccines for polio, measles, rubella or diphtheria were no longer available. We decided to illustrate it.

There have been studies done about comprehension and understanding. Often humans misinterpret words based on internal biases. Yes, even nouns! Writing with 100% clarity is possible, but people can still misinterpret! Just write.

LinkedIn is using invasive techniques to fingerprint your browser. Together with its understanding of your identity and professional history, it has the ingredients for an incredibly detailed profile. werd.io/linkedin-is-...

Kind of amazed there was no timecube face for Pebble until now!

I may be desperate for a job, but I'm not THAT desperate, whoo

This is proof that sometimes you never know how good things can get, and even then, they can sometimes get even better. 13/10 for all (TT: matiastapia2409)

And just for fun, today we also launched a site for @surf.social swag!

a cognitive scientist here: there are no functions (brain or otherwise) dedicated to "performing" human feelings

I heard “boneless couch” and now I’m sick

Got a copyright demand over something you didn’t post? Don’t assume you’re liable—you may have strong legal defenses.

This worship of efficiency kills creativity. Every transcript I have, every piece of research, I go over again & again, looking for detail, pattern, illuminating anecdote. It’s not efficient. I flail sometimes! But it’s essential. It’s how I learn to tell the story to myself, so I can tell it to you

Once as a kid my mom took me to K-Mart and we came out of there with "art gum" erasers, which my five year-old brain interpreted as "gum AND eraser" and proceeded to chew the stuff, lmao

Call me a crazy dreamer, but I think stuff should work more often than not.

If Artemis is going up then it gives me an excuse to once again post this photo, the only one to contain every human being in the universe but one.

A few people have replied to my Artemis posts with links to Gil Scott-Heron's "Whitey on the Moon." Here's a story from Space.com about Artemis II pilot Victor Glover, currently en route to fly around the Moon, and his connection to that piece. www.space.com/space-explor...

Only 58 tortillas!?? WTH, NASA? – and I'm going to have to see that "hot sauce" #NASA #ArtemisII

Fun fact: There will be zero profits when our species is wiped off the face of the planet because we couldn't stop burning petroleum.

If you don’t believe people born in America are American you are the fucking worst and I hate everything about you. The reconstruction amendments are the only things that make this country worth anything.

Republicans: we’re originalists who respect the intent of the constitution, even though it was written when muskets were state of the art. Also Republicans: the world has changed and we have to re-interpret the constitution.

Just so you understand, this is as if you prepared for argument in front of a panel that included Cookie Monster, and Cookie Monster asked you a question about cookies, and you had not thought about cookies in advance.

lmao

When the birthright citizenship decision comes out, people will say it could never have gone any other way, that the law was obvious. But the mere fact that SCOTUS took on the case is evidence enough that we are living in a time of democratic precarity.

Of course we’re doing the global financial crisis again, but this time with AI data centers.

Every single day I see more reasons why @goodpotatoproject.bsky.social needs to exist. Flooding the web with bullshit is EXACTLY why I started this whole thing.

one downside to a chronological timeline is when someone posts something over and over and over again in rapid succession... hey, plz do not

In the spirit of April Fools' Day but without sacrificing the Supper Mario Broth veracity policy, here is a fact that seems so outlandish as to be a joke, but is actually true: in 1993, a Sega ad campaign briefly planned to use profanity to slander Mario.

The Backyardigans

I learned to sharpen my knives with a whetstone and I gotta say, it's one of the most satisfying chores around. On par with unclogging a drain.

Well, my #Java journey has come to an end. Today my role at Oracle has been terminated. I’m open to any job leads y’all may have.

I’ve had tech folks ask me how we scale @goodpotatoproject.bsky.social and my answer is always the same: one person at a time. The same way humans have been connecting for thousands of years. It’s also why we’re prioritizing artists.

For Trans Day of Visibility, here's Claude Cahun, nonbinary French Jewish artist and anti-fascist activist, sentenced to death for resisting the Nazis. "Masculine? Feminine? It depends on the situation. Neuter is the only gender that always suits me."
