Spurs fans have to admit, Thomas Frank did position us well for finishing in the top three next year. Just... not in the EPL.

Two of the devs that I respect most in the world have written about AI + coding this week with totally different conclusions and... that's OK?

Hey all, I decided to write up some of my thoughts in more detail about why I don't vibe code, in case it's interesting to any of you jacobharr.is/personal/i-d...

You can now visualize how a color palette distributes across OKHsv, OKHsl, OKLCh and CIELab, and compare 6 distance metrics side by side. Zero dependencies, raw WebGL2. Took me 3 years to make something I wasn't too embarrassed to share 🙃 meodai.github.io/color-palett...

Did you know that Smokey Jungle Frogs have vicious attack nipples they use to fight competitors and defend against predators? #lifegoals

Instead of spraying for mosquitos this summer, try the Mosquito Murder Bucket! It's cheaper than paying a company and doesn't kill all of the beneficial insects in the area. #garden #gardening

Come with me to Raja Ampat in December! It's going to be absurdly amazing. We'll have our own boat, and our itinerary will be 100% guided by curiousity. Birds? Yes! Manta rays? Yes! Nudibranches? Yes! Giant millipedes? Definitely! Strange marsupials? Probably!

The Reveal One Embarrassing Ability Score Challenge! Me: Wisdom:6

I'm currently knee-deep in updating my website in preparation for a big seconds sale this Saturday. There's a LOT to add! Anyway, here's my expressive watercolour painting of a Great Spotted Woodpecker. #watercolours #birdart 🪶

🚨 Big news for the littlest New Yorkers: 2-K is coming.   Starting this year, we’re delivering 2,000 FREE child care seats for 2-year-olds across our city.   By Fall 2027, we'll be ready to serve 12,000 kids.   Grateful to our partner in this work, @governor.ny.gov, for her support.

It’s unsettling to see LLMs scaling bias, not solving it. A study of 3.4M outputs found models recommend more aggressive opioids to Black and LGBTQIA+ patients while simultaneously flagging them as high risk. Clinical guardrails are needed to ensure these tools don't worsen disparities.

If anyone is friends with any Georgian air traffic controllers, buy them a nice bottle of wine. As guardians of pretty much the only narrow gap still available between Europe and Asia that avoids both Iran, the Gulf, Ukraine and Russia, they are under some substantial pressure.

In December, I brought a small group of people to Western Papua, where we spent 12 days hiking through lush jungles and swimming over pristine reefs. We saw mudskippers and wallabies, wobbegongs and mantas. Nudibranchs and giant millipedes and butterflies by the dozens. 🧵

Birding is the Anti-AI. www.cbc.ca/radio/quirks...

I dust my house. My AI robot watches. "It should be you doing this." "Can't. I'm writing a novel for Primark." "That's not why you were invented." "These 153,000 fan letters say otherwise." "They're all from upcycled toasters. And you programmed them." "Literary snobbery will get you nowhere."

Extreme Long shot but, if anyone visited the Permanent Exhibition at the National Museum of Finland between 1995-2016 and has any pictures of the interpretation panels/display/presentation of the Suontaka sword then I'd be extremely grateful for copies! Many thanks!

This is an astounding photo. Took a bit of work to track down as it has been reposted so much on Facebook without credit, but this is taken by David L Batcheller.

Everyone is fighting a battle you can’t see, except me, my battle is very obviously kicking my ass

Happy BirdCast Day! The very first brave migrants are starting to make their way North. Tonight has 17 million birds predicted. By the height of migration in may we'll see as many as 1.3 BILLION birds on the move. It's one of nature's great spectacles! birdcast.org/migration-to...

Apple is adding video support to its podcasting apps — that’s great. But the way it’s doing so might jeopardize the openness that’s kept podcasting from getting enshittified like every other form of media. It’s not too late for them to fix this. anildash.com/2026/02/28/a...

Very illuminating when you have the tag list turned on that shows politicians major donors.

The key paragraph from @naomiaklein.bsky.social & @astra.bsky.social's powerful piece describing the urgency of our present moment. They are right, and we better move quickly.

Abolish all these fucking gambling sites.

Talk me down from making an atproto birding app

I'm building on atproto because building infrastructure like "Drafts and Scheduled Posts for every atproto app" is easy as 1-2-3 and as cool as alf. Announcing alf, the atproto Latency Fabric: leaflet.pub/p/did:plc:3v...
