Check out my new AI-powered service. Once you share everything about you, your relationships, your health status, and your religious beliefs, Youlogy generates a video of what your funeral would look like. Everyone crying and saying what an amazing person you were. Childhood bully in shambles.

As an addition to the meme that Alex Jones is just a good upstanding citizen from the #Warhammer40K universe, I think Candace Owens is too but she's recently been corrupted by Tzeentch

I love Quora ragebait

No no babe, I'm pretty sure "gaslighting" has always just been a synonym for "lying." I think you're the one who's misremembering it. Are you sure you're still taking your medication?

lol so the term Clarke came up with for people in the future who would be obsessed with filming their every waking moment was "tapeworms". [from: Imperial Earth, 1976]

Another compelling case for universal basic income is that if we had it, there would be a LOT more #reddit mods

May all the goodness, love, virtue, and justice this year was deprived of come flooding in in 2026

I must say that using some ginger and a little rye flour kicks the already delicious sticky toffee pudding up a notch #bakingsky

2025: the year of the unforced error

The ascendancy of "laying" in favor of "lying" (for lying down) has been interesting to see. I think it will soon be a full-scale language change, as I've seen it in prestige news outlets by this point. I guess the inflection ambiguity is preferable to the semantic ambiguity for most speakers now.

After someone is like, "Oh, you handled that so smoothly!" www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBgL...

Wouldn't be surprised if this song came back as a TikTok sound www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtDV...

I don't mind when other people drive poorly, as long as they're not actively dangerous. I'm just relieved I'm not the worst driver on the road.

Prediction: in the next few years, there will be a brief fad as backlash to the extreme anti-aging craze currently taking place, where some people in their 20s will go too far for the "silver fox" look and get aesthetic crows' feet surgically added around their eyes

'portmantoe' is my new portmanteau meaning "men's shoes"

I'm sure I'm the millionth person to observe this, but some of Dostoyevsky's Underground Man's screeds could be basically WORD FOR WORD posts on incel forums.

If for whatever reason you need a "soul leaving your body" cardio workout, this one definitely fits the bill #FitnessSky www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXln...

Prediction: there will be an #influencer scandal where it's uncovered that someone used AI to make their new pet look morbidly obese, so they could put it on a compelling social media weight loss journey

This made me think that there should be an ANTM-style reality show on like, Animal Planet, where pet parents compete across several weeks/challenges to have their dog or cat become the next spokesmodel for Chewy or Petsmart or something. ANTM x Best in Show would be exquisite entertainment.

Possibly the coldest take ever, but argh, OutKast is sooooo good. How they can weave such melancholy and bittersweetness into things, without overdoing it one bit, is just remarkable. The staying power of their sound is eternal. I put them into the very highest level of my personal musical pantheon.

Sad this boingboing article about the Squonk didn't mention the Genesis song! boingboing.net/2025/11/06/t... song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aRj...

Is gender a wave or a particle?

'The math is not mathing' also sounds like something Latour would say

Credit to 2013 Jaden Smith, "How can mirrors be real if our eyes aren't real" is probably a question Isaac Newton would have loved

New Nordic jail where the guards are all just cats who sit on your lap and purr and look at you in betrayal if you try to move

Product idea: three-dimensional Humpty Dumpty puzzle. Finish it, put it on your mantel or something, knock it over (or let the cat do it), it comes apart obviously, then do the #puzzle again.

Anyone read *Shikasta* by Doris Lessing? What did you think? At about 1/5 through I can certainly see the Olaf Stapledon influence, but I'm not sure what to make of it. 📚🪐

My brain can't de-associate "giardiniera" and "giardia"

For those of us who will never be willing to invest in the full tabletop experience, a #Warhammer40k board game would be an amazing sweet spot. Maybe you even have to paint your own game piece or something. #gamesworkshop

Going to start a much superior granola bar company called Artifice Valley #naturevalley

Someone in #STS needs to study the social media exercise science crisis expeditiously if not sooner

Not a sports person but I do like that the #Cubs have the cute baby name of the animal as their team name. We need to do the Kittens and Puppies as well.

For October #Zillow should add a "haunted/not haunted" filter option

What's the most challenging *fiction* book you've ever read (and completed), and what made it challenging? 📚💙 #booksky

Very very helpful FYI

Who, indeed :P 📚🪐 (From *The Futurological Congress*, 1971)

I think one of the greatest general virtues of good #humanities teachers is their ability to ask fruitful, stimulating, "guiding," but not overly *leading* questions at the right times in a person's knowledge acquisition process. That is actually a really difficult and subtle art.

New #cozymystery idea: "Cold Cuts and Cold Cases," where a whimsical deli employee has to solve a decades-old murder

People who grow giant pumpkins are the feeders of the #gardening world

I'm about 70% confident that *The Worm Ouroboros* was easier to write than it is to read. 📚🪐

Misophonia: the sound of miso

There's something very noble and romantic about spending months painting a painting, which can then be 'consumed' by a viewer in less than a minute or two, if that. Is there any other art form with such a huge discrepancy?

Just two days until our EXTENDED deadline of August 7 to apply for our hybrid #CSCW2025 workshop! You still have time to share your ideas and experiences with us :) #cscw #civictech
