"But when the team looked at the employees’ actual work output, they found that the developers had completed tasks 20% slower when using AI than when working without it. Researchers were stunned. “No one expected that outcome. We didn’t even really consider a slowdown as a possibility.” 🎁link

hmm

Going to the signing of the best holiday book ever.

It is so nice to know our governor skipped speaking at today’s No Kings protest to hang out in New Jersey

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay

Administrators at Indiana University baselessly fired the student media director and ordered the student paper to cease its print edition, so it'd sure be a shame if this excellent digital front page were to be widely shared today issuu.com/idsnews/docs...

while it may not seem like it to someone scrolling by with a cursory look, what i am creating is not ‘ironic’ nor a ‘get rich quick scheme’ and it is certainly not AI GENERATED. it is a genuine expression of my heart and my beliefs about sexuality and art and love and freedom and curiosity and joy

Cancer vaccines, twice annual PrEP injections, enzymes that convert organs into universal donors... Man if America's government hadn't disappeared up its own ass we'd be celebrating right now.

It's been 85 years since The Great Dictator first dazzled audiences in 1940. It was a big risk for one of the world's most popular performers to take a stand against fascism on film. n.pr/4n4s82s

Your enemies will tell you there is no point in fighting back. They tell you this to break your morale, but in so doing, they tell on themselves. They fear being stood up to, or else they would not work so hard to downplay it. If someone says fighting back doesn't matter, make it matter.

The news in the world is awful, but it's almost Halloween, so let's talk about pumpkin enrichment for big cats. This is Jinx the black leopard (Big Cat Rescue, Florida) enjoying shredding a pumpkin.

Holy shit, and also, great blessings upon the family of the human recipient mentioned in the article for allowing their loved one with no remaining brain activity to be a test candidate to determine if their body would reject a treated kidney.

Random thought… So how long until one of the various electric car charging apps require you to keep the app open and playing ads while charging…

Almost like we founded the entire country on opposing this exact sentence.

they don't make right wing freaks like this anymore, that pie would've put andy ngo into the ICU

Just saw on IG that Drew Struzan has died. RIP to the man who painted my childhood.

ElfQuest creators Wendy Pini and Richard Pini were inducted into the Harvey Awards Hall of Fame at New York Comic Con 2025. We invite you to celebrate this incredible recognition with us. Watch: youtu.be/pk4e_3kmdBQ?... @darkhorse.com @newyorkcomiccon.bsky.social @harveyawards.bsky.social

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78. Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

This entirely misses the point. The protests are to make government officials realize they should care more about the opinions of the people they represent than the dollars they can line their pockets with. Individuals not caring from their couch is just ignoring the problem.

Once novels a certain age novels should be offered with margin notes that explain the references which a modern reader would miss. It fascinating when one finds a novel they are reading was a response to something 20yrs before which might be less remembered.

So the largest power capacity currently built is 650MW, next one down is 315MW. Multiple 1GW datacenters built by various companies seems like an interesting goal

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving and One More Holiday Closer To Hallowe'en to all!

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

I am a mourning person. I mourn every day I have to be up so early.

Tomorrow I’ll be at Ann Arbor artoberfest from 10-4pm

TIL: about The Ashes Action. www.reddit.com/r/lgbt/s/Tc5...

On National Coming Out Day, know that I will always be an ally to you — no matter where you are on your journey. I know that times may be scary, but you are seen, safe, supported, and loved here in Illinois.

Come see me in down town Ann Arbor near Kerry town. Today 10-6 and tomorrow 10-4 (Oct 11-12).

It is amazing that there is no amount one can pay for an item where they won’t push ads now.

The emergence of Phoebe's everlasting grin, brought out by the first falling leaves of October.

New era of shanties has arrived @erinbiba.bsky.social

New art for Artoberfest in Ann Arbor,MI this weekend. Come see me on Oct 11(10-6p)-12(10-4).

Chiitan has a dream. I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past. I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination. Until then, let's all support each other🤍

The first falling leaves of October are all it takes to lift Phoebe's spirit.

Buy some furry history, help an artist out.

SHE LIVES

Healing

Ever wonder what would have happened if oil subsidies had been pulled and put into solar? Would we have enough capacity for everyone by now?

Whatever that praying means for you, get it done. That includes scientifically cheering for her wellbeing. Don’t fuss about it, just make good thoughts for a good woman.

Thank you again for everyone trying to donate a kidney for me. I don't have any new updates or anything--they're still working through the list and yeah we are really beginning to run out of time. If you're on the fence but would like to try, get started at iggyland.org Thank you everyone!

Sluggo does think of himself as a prize, but I’m giving you fair warning that he licked all those gumballs.

Hulk Fluffer sounds like a hell of a job. Safety precautions for human bodily fluids and radiation contamination!

Happy Birthday to @quackquackhonk.bsky.social! Hopefully the next trip around the sun is even better than the last
