Become a better teammate with one simple trick: ❌ don't bring your ego ✅ bring manchego

Judging by Miller’s statements over the years, I’m assuming it’s a Grand Dragon.

I saw this earlier today and can’t stop repeating the final sentence to myself

A lot of advice for improving team velocity looks like speedrunning: sequence break as much as possible, any% everything in between. But life isn't a video game, and shoveling crap at colleagues and customers is not a winning long-term strategy. No LLM can stand in for actual human teammates.

"kids will take the toy out of the box to play with it and that makes me MAD"

The hard part happens ~after you write the sentence. When you read it back and realize you've just committed to an idea, and damn it but you've got to actually believe it. 2/7

Sure the new moderation policy doesn't make any sense, but all of us on this website are already in violation of another, higher rule

Does this mean I should RSVP "no" to my Thursday meetings

Gremlin posture: check ☑️

The stats don't lie, which means there is only one thing to do if we want to stop gun violence without abolishing the 2nd Amendment: make it illegal to own a gun unless you are trans

I'm not even trying to be a snob, I just genuinely don't know what any of us think "normal" looks like anymore. The Biden years were an attempt at a low-key restoration of normal, they failed in no small part because we didn't need "normal," what we needed was an extraordinary response to Jan 6.

The only hot honey I care about is MY WIFE

I remember about 15 years ago when FSD boosters breathlessly claimed that self driving cars were so great because they would be better than a human driver Which was a belief they held because they defined FSD as "better than a human driver" rather than something based on what the tech could do.

Frankly I'm so stoked that sunsets have outlived the British Empire.

One thing I have noticed is that people cannot fucking Read a Text, which is to say consume a piece of information and then meaningfully integrate what it says into their decision-making from that point onward. Unrelated to whether or not they remember or agree with it, new info gets no traction.

sound up for purrrrrrr

Lobbying my representatives to support the Sheriff Keith Swank No Felons Or Domestic Abusers In Office bill.

Only cottage cheese gives you the calcium you need for strong bones. And only strong bones will let you frag noobs.

Ah that’s very good. I hope people are learning that that biggest doomer statements about AI are made by the AI companies, because it’s marketing.

That’s never bothered Americans before.

Anyone play the mobile version of King of Dragon's Pass? How's the quality of the port?

*youth pastor voice* you kids love hypnosis but you know who else was hip to gnosis?

Happy Feast of Opinion to all who celebrate

Wayne Connell, Chief HR officer for @washingtonpost.com, voluntarily put his name on a letter informing a Black woman that men who believe she is genetically inferior are a protected class and that she engaged in misconduct by criticizing men who have historically advocated for lynching Black people

You Are Not Immune to Slopaganda

@astrezh.bsky.social did a post years ago about why Taleb's "skin the game" interpretation was a bad heuristic. if someone is punished for things beyond their control, they will simply be more conservative. and at the top leaders often realize how little control they really have over effectiveness

True tales of terror: your cat drags you out of bed in the middle of the night because it is hungry.

The PCWHF (Popular Costco-Waffle House Front) would bring in an unprecedented age of logistical resilience.

@aptshadow.bsky.social has the rare decency to not only write well but also write a LOT. Sometimes it's sad to finish a book because you don't get to enjoy it any more, but then you find out there are 9 more in the series and a 10th coming out.

That last line is one of the absolute single scariest things to me and that it was said with such casual happiness is even more disturbing. Not distressing. Full tilt disturbing.

May as well dive right in. Did you know that dogs in ancient Mesopotamia also refused to drop the ball? According to a Sumerian proverb, “The dog understands ‘Take it!’ It does not understand ‘Put it down!’” Source: cdli.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/artifacts/34...

TIL wild oats evolved a special fiber that twists as it dries, allowing seeds to "walk" from where they've fallen until they hit a depression in the ground where they are more likely to grow.

Beige-brained thought leaders echoing "good cheap fast pick two" exhaust me. The formula is meant to be an upper bound, not a default. You should feel privileged to achieve ONE of the three. Most orgs get none.

As you read the pundit takes, mentally substitute "cancel culture" with "accountability"

something I’ve been thinking about is that all our content retrieval systems are biased towards recency rather than quality which makes it extremely hard to discover old good books, movies, blog posts, etc

We're so cooked, folks

cbs once renewed a cancelled show cause fans mailed them too many peanuts, it can be easier than you think to sway studio execs

The two modes of teleconferencing: - looking at the faces of your colleagues to mimic an in-person conversation - looking at your own face the entire time to make sure you are making a Normal Expression

"21% of Americans are trans" factoid actually just statistical error.
