Depluralize a movie: Un et demi. (de Fellini bien sûr)

One new thing in this reboot: every challenge has a Desmos link showing the final result for you to recreate. Most include hints (like the original list), but the actual expression(s) are hidden - so it’s still up to you to solve. For example, this one opens like this:

Depluralize a movie Le tour du monde en un peu moins d’un trimestre

How would you measure the rotation rate of a fidget spinner? Let's use your phone's magnetometer with #phyphox.

have you seen the new supply chain vuln? don't update tubu. it's literally on heebee. they got poodee's deps. they infiltrated dippy. roll back weeno. disable scripts in ~/.gumpyrc. it's in poob. do not install poob. do not update poob. uninstall poob right now. poob has it in for you.

Cherry blossoms in Japan.

Happy oviparous-lagomorph-on-a-stick day! And may your eventual AI upload simulation afterlife be glitch- and basilisk-free. (Trying to cover all the post-Christian bases here.)

Someone asked for an app to point your camera at a color and find matches. Cool. Here. BUT ALSO: I'm colorblind and never thought to make this for myself! Save colors ("new paint," "mom's fave"), get colorblind-friendly complements, simulate what you see vs. what others see. Legit using this daily.

There is a full universe behind that wonderful new Artemis II "Night Marble" view of Earth. Here's a breakdown of the stars (and one planet) in the field of view. Look at us! Just a planet hanging out in space. Annotation by Rodrigo González Peinado. 🧪🔭

¿Alguna vez has visto un arcoíris completo de 360 grados? Este fenómeno óptico es impresionante y difícil de observar desde el suelo.

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕

The Cliffs of Etretat are a stunning natural wonder on the Normandy coast of France 🇫🇷

Many of you are probably wondering how you can manage to get yourself into a similarly awkward situation. You're in luck; a while back I wrote a long thread on how to befriend crows. Here it is.

A view of Earth from Artemis II. If you can see your region, then you might be able to spot Artemis II with a telescope or binoculars. #astro 🔭

hello 👋 i have developed a new tool called blüuümpíi. blüuümpíi will convert every file on your hard drive to a .wav file without asking you, maximize your system volume, and play them on every bluetooth speaker you have ever connected to. if you offer feedback on blüuümpíi i will take legal action

how cool would it be if we had different words for "incredibly computationally intense and kinda troubling but startlingly effective coding tools seeing massive uptake", "dumb UI shit nobody asked for polluting everything", "cheating helper", and "computer program for identifying bird calls or wev"

I find it really tiring to wake up, open BlueSky & find a lot of random people insulting me for posting someone’s interesting & harmless AI project Of course: No I don’t think this replaces historians. Yes, a small AI model like this is limited. No, you are not actually talking to the past. Blech.

saw someone respond to an LLM trained on Victorian-era writings with "by trained you mean stolen?" some people are negatively polarizing themselves into intellectual property stances that would make Disney's lawyers blush

Imagine being such a terrible person that the Pope publicly declares that even God won't listen to you. Yikes.

An extremely good article on the horrific bombing of the primary school in Minab that puts it in the context of both the wider history and the recent technological acceleration of the error-prone process of military “targeting”. www.theguardian.com/news/2026/ma...

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

I think this is empirically true. In part because "critical thinking" has led to "distrust the experts," which is not the right message. It just allows people to trust kooky non-experts and validate their own biases, then pat themselves on the back for their advanced critical faculties.

Maybe the most depressing conclusion I’ve come around to in the past decade (and there are many) is that trying to teach & promote widespread “critical thinking” has been a complete and catastrophic failure. Most of the population is not capable of it, and it is socially disastrous when they try.

And here it is with spaces for text so you can use it as a meme template:
