Everyone’s pets better be getting huge Christmas bonuses this year for the work they’ve been putting in

“Have Yourself A Merriam Little Christmas” Merriam, a career-oriented lexicographer from the city, returns to her small town for the holidays and meets Webster, a ruggedly handsome librarian, who shows her the true DEFINITION of Christmas.

This Giving Tuesday, we're fundraising for the people and pets who need us most ❤️‍🩹 15outof10.org/2026-clinic-...

Today is a good day to make Mychal Threets proud of you. Read a book that brings you joy. Some people read by listening. Some people read by touch. Some people read with their eyeballs. All reading is reading. Remember your meds and have some water!

No matter how big or bad, I have always “pushed through” obstacles w/sheer force of will. Yet, a grocery run now can leave me collapsed in a sweating, shaking heap of anesthesia- grade fatigue & fog. I don’t expect most folks to get it, but occasional acknowledgement that this is hard would be nice.

#WaysToHelp I found a page with a list of book drives for various reservation schools and other needs. You order the book and have it shipped to the school/site. I used my favorite, @roomofonesownbooks.bsky.social, but bookshop.org has free shipping today, you could take advantage of that!

A Google software engineer won his battle against MetLife to receive disability benefits for Long Covid. This is huge Long Covid has a lot of stigma attached to it and it can be hard to get disability. You’re told to “try harder”. It’s “not that bad”. You can “still work”. Not everyone can

I dunno, buddy, maybe if it didn't encourage young folks to kill themselves, or drink all the potable water, or pollute the Infoverse with fallacies, or add glue to recipes, or be that guy who lies rather than admits a mistake, or, and this is important, buddy, or IF WE WERE GIVEN A FUCKING CHOICE!

A concussion has left me with major light sensitivity anyway, and driving at night and on rainy days is absolutely excruciating. I really hope this leads to some safer alternatives for everyone.

Powerful.

🧵 Rest in power, Alice Wong. @sfdirewolf.bsky.social A trailblazer, a fierce advocate, and a relentless voice for disability rights. Her work changed the landscape for so many. /1

Happy 2nd Gotcha Day to our sweet Maisy. ❤️

I really, really hate this timeline.

Did you know that a typhoon just hit Alaska & displaced over 1,000 people and washed away entire communities? If your media isn't covering this, it's bc these are Indigenous communities.

My heart wasn’t prepared for this today. 💔

I’ve had debilitating symptoms for over 5 years now. There is no way to articulate just how huge it is that some of these participants regained so much of their lives with an *existing* drug already approved for another condition.

“So while our art cannot, as we wish it could, save us from wars, privation, envy, greed, old age, or death, it can revitalize us amidst it all.” - Ray Bradbury

Let’s put this in charge of all the things! What could possibly go wrong? 🙄

Love him! ❤️ This is the best news I’ve seen in nearly a year.

Oh, Jane Goodall. You were such a good'un. We'll struggle to see your like again - but we promise to remember what you tried to teach us about extending curiosity and kindness beyond the selfish, inward-looking needs of our own species.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Just finished I See You’ve Called in Dead by John Kenney. It has some really powerful, poignant themes delivered in a wonderfully-crafted story with hilarious dialogue. I’ll need to process awhile and do a re-read!

Do YOU remember “the 21st night of September?” Earth Wind & Fire’s co-writer Allee Willis said she told the band: “We can’t leave ‘baa-dee-ya’ in the chorus. That has to mean something.’” Maurice White replied: “No, that feels great. That’s what people are going to remember. We’re leaving it.”

He shined in every role. 💔

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

Anthropic says a hacker used its Claude chatbot "to an unprecedented degree": Claude identified vulnerable companies, wrote infostealer malware, analyzed stolen files for extortion purposes, calculated extortion amounts, and wrote extortion messages. www.nbcnews.com/tech/securit...

Happy Dog Day from Maisy. 🐾

Yuuuup!

I have probably canceled, declined, or postponed other things in order to have that energy to give to you.

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

Slightly diminish a band: Bikini Injure

“LLMs are about to be integrated into physical humanoids, into semi- and fully autonomous cars, and we need to truly understand how to secure LLMs before we integrate them with these kinds of machines, where in some cases the outcomes will be safety and not privacy,”

Living in the darkest timeline even as life throws personal curve balls is not fun. It helps to be reminded that we are not alone.

Share less with people who aren’t rooting for you. As simple as that sounds, you know who wants you to succeed. Do not explain yourself, or ask for approval/guidance from those who aren’t invested in you finding peace and growth as well as a good life for yourself.

All the dire implications notwithstanding it is hilarious how evil this technology is. Billions of dollars spent on this greasy lying stupid thing that was literally built to replace people, and everyone that uses it gets weaker, lazier, dumber, and sadder for having done so. Well done all around.

Ok one more Tom Lehrer song because some of you may not know you know him from Schoolhouse Rock

It’s astonishing how, sometimes, you have no idea how much a burden something was until you can set it down.

Not all hurt people, hurt people. Some of them remember how much it cost them and couldn’t imagine putting someone else through that.

We should have listened when the modems screamed at us.

Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday. I'm using mine to read. 📚💙

Book binge! Over the last several weeks, I’ve been gobbling up the entire Slough House series by Mick Herron. Exceptionally crafted and thoroughly entertaining, I will be re-reading them all on a routine basis. For those who enjoy audio books, Gerard Doyle’s narration is pitch-perfect!
