This is Tub and Blue. They simply cannot figure out how to get their tennis ball that fell in the pool. Still 12/10 because they really are trying

Reading the press on Apple's supposed AI "letdown/failure" at WWDC & I think OpenAI and Perplexity have effectively broken the tech press' brains. I thought yesterday's announcements were a huge AI win for Apple precisely *because* they didn't mention Siri at all. And I don't say this as a fanboy.

Had a blast at Dolo park! We even got to see a hawk 🥰 Shout out to my darling model, @cobaltgear.net

There are whole movies that don’t have the twists and turns of this paragraph.

Really enjoyed getting to spend the day visiting Jefferson Park. The parrots even came to visit ☺️

Thunderbolts was surprisingly good! I think the last Marvel movie I saw was Shang Chi. Maybe becoming a Lewis Pullman fan. He’s been great in all the (2) films I’ve seen him in. No shakey cam and compelling characters. Solid.

Did you know the “weekend” and working only 8 hours per day used to be considered a radical, liberal idea? 139 years ago today, in Bay View, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 7 workers (including a 13 yo) lost their lives to advance this revolutionary idea. A 🧵

i don't think we should gatekeep the enormous 28 pound bunny that works as a service animal at giants games sometimes. i think we should share news of the 28 pound bunny with the wider internet

His sister is transgender, so his love for his sister extends to the whole community. I love Pedro Pascal so much ❤️

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid. So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

Musk's whole deal is to pretend that no one knew how government bureaucracy worked before, like it was this big mystery box, and it's exactly that combo of stupidity and arrogance that pervades silicon valley and leads to them reinventing a city bus and thinking they're Isaac Newton

Reminder to my BlueSky people! I largely still hang out on mastodon, and it would be awesome to see your BlueSky posts there. All you have to do is follow this account, and mastodon accounts can follow you! @ap.brid.gy

Are you a BILPOC #TTRPG designer? You can apply for a $1K micro-grant from the Roll Together Foundation! Deadline to apply is March 14th. Details on the website.

Curtis Yarvin misses the point. He’s so unserious, and the interviewer shows it. How is he so close to the seat of power?!

I know that there's a lot of tech industry folks on this here website, and I would just like to remind all of you that the world actually functioned before the computer.

Jeff Bezos owns his own spaceship. Meanwhile, according to a post I saw, the parents of a kid doing chemo couldn't get an insurance company to pay for anti-nausea medication.

Happy Friday everyone! 🏳️‍⚧️👋

I think businesses that survive this stage are the ones that are agile. BSky is about to show us which one they are. They’ve been agile with respect to accommodating the technical needs of growth, but the fact that Black users had to fight them so much about safety makes wonder about the rest.

I'm highlighting this post b/c I think @chanda.bsky.social in this thread has highlighted a lot of interesting aspects of how the values of the userbase that got here might be different than values stated in the architectural design documents around indexing, etc Click and scroll upward thru thread

The incredibly wonderful @bnewbold.net, who encouraged me to write up my "How decentralized is Bluesky, really?" blogpost, wrote up his response: whtwnd.com/bnewbold.net... I'm reading it now. I'll spend some time mulling it over before I make my "reply-reply" but maybe you should read it too!
