Being completely disillusioned with professional sports after decades of endless scandal leaves me really wishing I could not be on the Internet some days. Congratulations to all who celebrate, condolences to all those who mourn, and a good rest of your day to all.

An $18bn data center project in sulphuric springs Texas that broke ground in June 2025 is being sued by the construction firm that has been left unpaid. Project is halted due to the developers not getting funding. Our first horseman has arrived msbglobalservices.com/matrix-data-...

The Privilege of Daily Writing (And the Ableism of Prescribing It) Part 1 Once in a while, someone says they can’t write every day, and it isn’t about their raiding guild or their after-dinner drinks or their inability to skip their beauty sleep to get up half an hour early. Once in a while, they…

They stole the internet’s knowledge and all the work that went into it and they want to sell it back to us for a fee. What a business model.

Here's the YouTube version, this is my favourite monologue episode I've ever done www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQqh...

Two days ago a sitting US Senator was pepper sprayed for protesting ICE and it didn’t even become national news.

seeing a lot of AI boosters out there making weird little comments about how "it's a baby bubble" or "some bubbles can be good," they're afraid

It's a matter of when not if and it'll snowball as more companies reckon with their digital pantsless emperors. We should also remember that given the option to permanently replace all humans all major companies said yes

Here's my parenting tip: Stop making laws that hurt LGBTQ+ kids.

let this be a message to Americans who join the military. the GOP will campaign on your death and use their power to delete your existence from the history books once it becomes inconvenient.

I will agree with this, and amend slightly that having someone read an older book and acknowledge that it didn't magically start to suck as soon as it left the new release shelf is like being kissed by a pixie in the autumn sun. Back lists keep the lights on!

This cartoon by Ella Baron from the Guardian today actually made me well up a little. We will keep fighting. Together.

Hey Judge Doctor Reverend @iwriteok.bsky.social , I too watched seaQuest, AND had the added bonus of living on Florida's Space Coast at the time. I walked where they filmed! So yeah, I reached out. What do I win?

SCOOP: The CDC quietly removed a page (against court orders) on safer sex and public gatherings info for avoiding mpox transmission a week before Pride month. “This is in effect high public health treason,” Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, a former top CDC leader, told me. www.advocate.com/health/sexua...

Jesus christ! OpenAI had a negative 122% operating margin for Q1 2026 and growth in ChatGPT has stalled. Very nice Mr. Altman! Well done sir! www.theinformation.com/articles/ope...

Counter-point: Bring it up so that we can laugh at you.

The last little bit of severance pay deposited today. I've had a few nibbles but nothing has stuck. The IT industry is brutal right now.

I love Tennessee. I am deeply angered and hurt by the increasingly oppressive environment there.

Whoo! Y'all! Marshawn brings it!

If I just heard that absolutely no energy advert correctly, a gentleman by the name of Phoenix Salmon is selling Apple Curd for @slate.com . I know I heard that wrongly, but also, Mr Salmon that is one hell of an accent.

Read this whole thread. It's extra worth it.

"Claude was evil because the Internet says AI will be evil, and AI is trained on that Internet data, so it's not Claude's fault" is amazing logic that reinforces the core problem of these models; they're fed garbage & are expected to alchemically make gold. www.businessinsider.com/anthropic-cl...

AI may be making us dumber, but it's worth remembering that the stupidification process has been going on a long time - the Internet has taught an entire society to log on and post angry detailed comments about articles they proudly refuse to even read

Every day is STFU Friday, pass it on.

I remain an ethical objector to using AI. Hundreds of users get harassed every year for downloading copyright protected materials for personal use and threatened with fines or legal action, but it's okay for large companies to download all the things, store them permanently, and profit from that?

trying new form of analysis

These absolute vacuous shells had the audacity to not only engage in that specific combination of vile acts but also had the idiocy to do so in the one county in Florida that runs more sting ops like this than anywhere in the state, and possibly the country! 🤣 How terribly stereotypical.

Happy to share a new zine we just finished that's an updated version to "Recognizing Hate". This zine is a reference guide to identify various nazi dog whistles, and includes a list with brief descriptions of the most active far-right groups currently in the US. www.wewillfreeus.org/farrightthre...

There is no level of transphobia high enough that Republicans won't accuse you of being pro-trans. Please take note Democrats because no amount of capitulation will stop these kinds of attacks.

The @pittsburghpenguins.bsky.social haven't won a playoff series since that dumb group from Boston bought the team away from Mario. Might just be me, but maybe that wasn't the best move for the team, ya know?

May Day started in Chicago. Not as a holiday, but as a fight for the 8-hour day and basic dignity at work after the Haymarket Massacre of 1886. That fight didn’t end, it went global as International Workers’ Day. This May Day: Strike. Boycott. Disrupt.

Been sitting with how many Black Civil rights leaders bled and died to ge the voting rights act only for it to be struck down by this white supremacist supreme court. This is from bloody Sunday which catalyzed passage of the VRA. It's hard not to shed tears at what we've lost.

Meet the 42 House Democrats who just voted with Republicans to renew warrantless surveillance power for Donald Trump and Stephen Miller — pass it on clerk.house.gov/evs/2026/rol...

If you're an outdoor professional in Big Bend, hit me up in the DMs please and thank you.

• Trump using race criteria to enact travel bans is constitutional In short—race criteria that centers white people is constitutional, but race criteria otherwise is unconstitutional😐 3/3

Hey @edzitron.com , didn't you anticipate something like this?

For the last time: if you are attending the Correspondents Dinner and you are not planning to actively protest the presence of Trump and his henchmen (who want you dead) and yet you claim to be a journalist and a patriotic American.. You are neither a journalist nor an American STAND FOR SOMETHING

My favorite financial show and my favorite tech show have combined!!! 🥰

The number of angry messages I got from insecure men on my article demanding men be accountable for rape culture & 'Rape Academy' reminds me to share my article repeatedly. Men: Stop being insecure. Stop being pathetic. Start holding rapists accountable. qasimrashid.substack.com/p/men-we-nee...

I've become convinced that #Pinterest is a scam. Why do I need a bunch of bookmarks with photos in a separate app when I can just bookmark the site directly?

So-called AI from the likes of OpenAI and Anthropic have error rates, hallucinations, or whatever you want to call them at way too high a rate. We know this. People accept this. But why? We know garbage allowed into the dataset results in garbage output. These LLMs are indiscriminately trained. 1/
