Physics Nobel announcement tomorrow. If you know and dislike a famous physicist, this is the day of the year to call them up in the middle of the night, wait 10 seconds, and then do you best Swedish Chef impression...

Organisatie: 250.000 mensen bij Rode Lijn-protest in Amsterdam

hey ur phone is ringing pick it up

Thank you to the Alaska Raptor Center for telling the truth that birders already knew: every bald eagle cry you hear in an advertisement is a red-tailed hawk.

Tens of thousands of protesters in Amsterdam are unified today in their call to stop supporting Israel’s genocidal destruction of Gaza.

Good morning, your fellow humans are a constant pain in the ass. That pain is what keeps you alive. Machine learning tech makes everything smooth, the runway of your biases and fallacies is clear and open, straight to the open grave.

Work from home benefits: my laptop and I have relocated to the lab on the floor.

In food history, we notice how super-refined foods--gelatin, vienna sausage, white bread--lose class and become horrifying once they become industrialized. Suddenly, fingermarks in bread dough demonstrate skill, not clumsiness. Post-chatGPT, I'm feeling this about writing. Smoothness feels gross.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

While I’m at it: You guys know what to do!! youtu.be/jPCJIB1f7jk?...

I have been haunted by this statement all day www.kgw.com/article/news...

real belonging, and a genuine sense of purpose, the void will be filled elsewhere. And when it is, it will not care about decency, nuance, or good intentions. What do you think?

Watching the crowd, listening to the chants, it became clear: decent people can, with the best of intentions, be swept along by forces they barely understand—and history, if nothing else, urges caution. The lesson is simple, if uncomfortable: if we fail to offer ordinary people real pride, 👇

I finally cleaned up my messy cablework

I lost it at “FUCKING KYLE!” #caturday

Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.

“The ECHR isn’t Brussels meddling. It’s the foundation that protects you from your own government.” 👏👏👏

Tuesday.

A new Pi 500 was released today, the Pi500+. The keyboard is pretty nice and goes rather well with FatScreen #3. ☺️

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

I know I am only a humble speech pathologist, but for the professional record I reject everything that RFK says or will say about autism, and it’s important to recognize what he’s really saying is that to be neurodiverse is worse than to be dead

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

Just to be absolutely clear: there is no evidence whatsoever of a link between paracetamol/acetaminophen and autism. However, many, possibly most, women will have taken this painkiller during pregnancy and so, undoubtedly, there will be autistic children whose mothers took it. This is NOT causative

Happy Birthday to the late, great Chuck Jones, born 113 years ago today

Op rechts is vandaag een enorme meute met Prinsenvlaggen en bivakmustsen politieagenten en politiepaarden aan het bekogelen met zwaar vuurwerk. Op links is vandaag een enorme meute ... [checks notes] massaal hardop uit een boek aan het voorlezen.

They said they wanted guns to keep their freedoms. Turns out if you let them keep their guns, you can just take their freedoms

‪@clpolk.com‬ A decade or two ago there used to be a cynical joke that the best way to get VC funding in silicon valley was to move away from home for the first time, figure out all the things your mom used to do for you that you don't know how to do, then pitch it as a service via the internet.

Don’t you dare call us fascists, they say, as they force people off the airwaves for criticizing them while vowing to crush and criminalize their opposition.

Happy birthday to the MOS 6502! It was 50 years ago today that people were able to buy their first samples of the chip from a jar in a hotel room at WESCON. Here's my oldest 6502 from the 52nd week of 1975. Still works perfectly!

I had no idea dial-up still existed. Fellow elder millennials, this is for you. 🫶🏽

Hey, @scornflakegrrrl.bsky.social - they're playing our tune!

@windytan.bsky.social has a poster for you: www.windytan.com/2012/11/the-...

When you look at what Kimmel actually said, he didn't mock or celebrate Kirk's death, or suggest he had it coming - he was simply criticising the Republicans' response. ABC and other media cos queueing up to cancel shows over criticism of the government, without the government intervening directly.

In many ways, this is more chilling than the apocalyptic pronouncements from the regime itself - this is private individuals and companies anticipating the regime's wishes and doing their persecution for them. This is how fully functioning fascist societies function, and that should scare people.

Senior professionals don’t just appear. They become senior through years of practice, mistakes, and experience. If AI eliminates junior roles, we’re not just cutting entry-level jobs. We’re cutting off the very path that creates future seniors. No juniors → no seniors. It’s that simple.

Predictive text models do not ever "answer your question" They predict what an answer to your question would probably look like. Which is very, very, very different

En nee: ambtenaren werken niemand tegen, ze voeren (te) braaf uit wat bewindspersonen willen. Ook als beleid in strijd is met wet- en regelgeving of totaal onuitvoerbaar is. DAT is het probleem. We hebben betere bestuurders nodig, DAT is de oplossing.

Wat een waanzinnig goed verhaal van NRC. Dit is nou een voorbeeld van slecht bestuur, ingegeven door wat ambtenaren bedoelen met ‘waan van de dag’ en ‘àlles draait om de positie van de minister’. www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/... www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...

Menschen werden auf offener Straße verschleppt, ein FOX-Moderator fordert Euthanasie für Obdachlose, Universitäten melden der Regierung Professoren und Studenten, die sie für links oder antisemitisch halten. Die USA eilen in Siebenmeilenstiefeln in den Faschismus.

Now that Star Trek Strange New Worlds is over I really could use a new season of Lower Decks bring it back you cowards thank you for your attention to this matter! 🖖

Let's give this a try!

All I saw was cheesecake boat and ocean for at least 5 minutes

It's a standard tactic of narcissist bullies to blame those abused within the situation the narcissist created for the effects of the situation the narcissist created, as a pretext for enacting further abuse. It's not necessary to accept it, though. It's actually pretty important not to.

In 2023 it was calling enemies "vermin" who were "poisoning the blood of the country," and promising "I am your retribution." In 2024 it was never-ending promises of violence to cheers and applause of people who wanted to see it done on their behalf. In 2025 they've been doing it. It's their world.

In 2021 it was an actual attempted overthrow of the government, along with the attempted assassination of the Vice President and Congress. In 2022 it was laughing about the attempted assassination of Nancy Pelosi and the brutal attack on her husband by a deranged hammer-wielding maniac.
