Oh, every one is always nostalgic for the geocites era web but when somebody actually makes a platform that crashes every 10 minutes, suddenly everybody wants future technology, I see how it is.

trying to post through it rn

I will die on this hill.

The Amoc is a major part of the global climate system and is close to the tipping point of collapse. This is the biggest news of the year if not the decade.

Happy birthday, Losoito. To celebrate, she's having a party in the mud bath – and judging by the splashing, everyone is invited. When our pilot first spotted her in Tsavo West, she was two years old and keeping company with a large wild bull. sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/losoito

I'm being told this is authentic - it's by the people behind this DDOS attack on @bsky.app

More coldly, authenticity is often metabolically expensive - it takes bandwidth to overcome any incentives not to do it under conditions of potential threat - and socially under-rewarded under those same conditions.

Fear is the gatekeeper variable nobody who yells about all of this talks about.

And plenty of people are afraid to drop the shields because someone communicated to them at some point that if they did, someone would spear them in response. Which I think is the thing we gloss over too much when talking about AI.

My hot take on this is that it will only drive a renaissance for authenticity if people are willing and unafraid to be authentic.

The fact that "being taxed on a wealth that would take most people dozens of generations to gather" is "the scariest thing she's ever seen" means the world isn't scaring millionaires and billionaires nearly enough yet.

And here is the confirmation. He literally quote Samuel L Jackson’s fake Bible verse at a prayer service in the Pentagon. This… I don’t know what to say anymore.

Showing that good things are possible lasts for one term. Showing that good things were always possible and we were just choosing not to do them radicalizes people for life.

In our chat, a key point for @brian-goldstone.bsky.social is that homelessness isn’t something families cause for themselves. More often it’s something that happens to them 1/4

Your child is a monster.

Another unprecedented abuse of the Congressional Review Act. This is basically all congressional Republicans do anymore.

They don’t need to work effectively. They just need to have the drone program running long enough to pivot to surveillance.

The generation that brought us "looks-maxxing" is mid-looking?

LOS ANGELES - URGENT! I'm heartbroken that my friend and neighbor has only a few days to live. We must find a loving forever home for her 2 kitties, Kit (F/grey/white) & Caboodle (M/black). Both 3-4yrs old, total sweethearts. Please ask around and send anyone interested my way, thank you ❤️

I wrote a new company policy that gives all our employees their birthday off as a paid holiday.

"Tech" wasn't /taken/ from us. We just never were willing to realize that it did not include us except as powerless users and customers. Love for "Tech" is often more akin to Stockholm syndrome.

I am so fucking hype for this bullshit popcorn movie.

How is “viewpoint diversity” not just affirmative action for people with bad ideas

it's VERY IMPORTANT you DON'T blame VIBE CODING

its good that posting is forbidden to be quite honest.

I'll have to finish reading this later. It's too upsetting. edition.cnn.com/interactive/...

“viewpoint diversity” is a right-wing political project, as lisa siraganian explores in great detail here: www.aaup.org/academe/issu...

The WNBA made history last month, and athletes in the room say it wouldn’t have happened without Deb Willig.

Yes, this is what Covid did to me: left me with damage to my vascular system, heart damage, and a range of associated conditions which are life-long and, unfortunately, life-threatening.

TRUMP, throwing insults at Pope Leo: “weak on crime” “terrible for foreign policy” “catering to the Radical Left” “owes his position to me” “sit down and mind your own business” POPE LEO, unbothered: “We are called to love.”

Holy shit

Oracle job cuts and AI spending could impact support, raise prices

40k-Mile 2002 Volkswagen Jetta GLS TDI at No Reserve

ICE activity in Chicagoland has been on the rise with the temperature the last few weeks. These incidents don't have the spectacle that characterized Greg Bovino and Border Patrol's raids in the fall, but people are still being abducted by federal agents across the city and suburbs.

Did I hear additional funding for NYC?? Sounds like a great opportunity for @mayor.nyc.gov to keep his campaign promise, and fund NYC Library systems at a minimum of 0.5% of the city’s expense budget.

Oh you asked Claude? Had a word with chatgpt? Yeah well I'm having a years long one way conversation with the clearly unattended Warp records demo email address

Just saw a dude on feeld who had very strangely angled photos and then I saw "clavicular" listed as one of his interests, and...I can't tell if it is a joke or not, but if not...Yikes. Being that much of a loser is a choice, friends. Make better choices.

There are funnier Ice T posts but I always find myself spiritually connected with this one

I am admittedly surprised Thompson's just...letting Luzardo twist out there on the mound tonight. They should have pulled him in the 5th, but sending him back out in the 6th? That was just mean.

He's really struggling. But he's fighting. Sorry for no alt text they're all of a sickly orange cat in my arms.
