My least favorite thing about zoos is seeing local, native wild animals just being free on the sidewalk. Get out of here, dudes, you’re not canon to this exhibit.

Just in case you’re feeling a bit down about life; my Grandfather had to use corn cobs and pages from the Sears catalog as toilet paper.

Planted some White Aster last Spring. It’s blooming!

I've been on a personal quest to make the best tasting BLT, and have prepared and consumed at least one BLT per day for the past 5 days.

I’m not advocating for being single, but I’m pretty sure if I were coupled up I wouldn’t be having fun watching a baby oak tree forest develop in my back yard right now.

This afternoon I took a walk around Alder Pond in Goodyear Park. Heard laughter echoes from other park hikers. Saw lots of turtles, a muskrat, and fish jumping. #Akron

Damn glad I got my 5 cans of fire roasted sweet corn, today www.axios.com/2025/07/02/d...

Holy Crap. Just straight up looting at this point. Or like was already looting. But just bringing in a semi to haul out the loot faster.

My back yard is normally filled with wildlife all day. Squirrels, groundhogs, chipmunks, birds. Not today. Wildlife is laying low during this heat wave.

Have any other parents preemptively mixed the protein with the refried beans on taco night because the teenagers hoard the protein? Or am I the only pettiest mfing parent-chef out here?

The silver lining of getting MAGA fundraising mail sent to my place is that sometimes I get to do this.

Literally every time I call Akron 311 to report an issue they respond immediately with services from the appropriate department to remedy the issue. Sometimes they will even call me back with follow-ups. Also, literally every Akron rep has been super friendly and helpful. #Akron #AkronOhio

This exchange is so very telling. Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this: "I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"

Prepped a super duper Cobb salad for days. Every meal I forget to add prepped ingredients.

Something else to consider: this highlights something that's already true: it's unconscionable dereliction of duty that House Democrats haven't introduced impeachment articles. That they would either be voted down or result in acquittal is immaterial. Do your job, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social.

Dave Chappelle nailed it 🤣🎯

BREAKING: The Department of Defense Inspector General has launched an investigation into Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for sharing secret attack plans against the Houthis using Signal.

I’m gonna make it simple since it seems a lot of the liberals on this site right now are having trouble with this. It was illegal to protect Anne Frank and it was legally required to turn her in to the Nazis. If your reliance on the law dictates your morals you have already lost to the fascists.

Founder of Signal 👀 🔥

Do you get it yet, law firms? What’s happening isn’t an isolated threat to Paul Weiss or Covington or Perkins Coie. It’s an existential threat to the independence of the legal profession. You’re a fool if you think you won’t be next. Say something. Do something.

It isn't really Claude's "fault" here, since its search did come up with two of my posts, the most recent and then one I wrote back in December. It then uses that info as context for the answer. The issue is that the AI "trusts" the search result too much. Same issue with RAG in other use cases.

Claude now has a good version of web search, which is really useful, but it also has the same issue as all non-agentic (that is, not Deep Research) AI uses of web search or RAG, which is that the model only gets a small amount of context from search & then sometimes over-extrapolates based on that.

MORGAN STANLEY: “.. we lower Tesla's auto deliveries for both the first quarter and the full year driven by competition, an aging lineup and a buyers’ strike from negative brand sentiment and upcoming new product – FY25 lowered to 1,615k (-9.8% y/y) vs. 1,924k (+7.5% y/y) previously ..”

There is no enforcement mechanism in place to enforce judiciary decisions when the executive branch disobeys them.

This is a very sad story, but what makes me crazy is that people tried to explain that this is what would happen and got caricatured as "woke" hysterics www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

When I was in college my German roommate insisted on some warm days in the winter that we open all the windows. I thought he was a little loony at the time. But fast forward to present day, I have the furnace off and all windows open. Lüften

political laziness is dems nervously adjusting the dial to see how legacy media feels about their policy rather than actually going out and talking and listening to real people and taking them seriously because that would be work and wouldn't gain extrinsic approval from perceived authority figures

Kevin Allen Hassett, Trump’s new Director of the National Economic Council, explicitly said that the Trump Admin is engaged in a trade war. In 1999, Hassett argued that the stock market was about to have a massive swing upward. Shortly thereafter, the dot-com bubble burst.
