New study finds that "employees are using AI tools to create low-effort, passable looking work that ends up creating more work for their coworkers." hbr.org/2025/09/ai-g...

Linguistics.

Conservatives love to darkly say stuff like “you aren’t prepared for what’s next, we’re not going to be moderate anymore, you have no idea what you’ve unleashed” and then cry like babies when you call them fascists

Goebbles or Miller?

Lmaooooooo

Every corp wants to steal your data to train their LLMs ("AI"). Go turn it off in LinkedIn, now.

In his own words. Mass psychosis in Arizona today. "Joe Biden is a bumbling, dementia-filled Alzheimer's, corrupt, tyrant who should honestly be put in prison and/or given the death penalty for his crimes against America." CK

I'm very grateful to environmental scientist Sam Matey-Coste showing me these Our World In Data charts when we had a chat recently. (sammatey.substack.com/p/a-conversa...) Yes, so much is a worrying, enraging mess right now. But the bigger picture is a little more reassuring.

Holy smokes is the new Mission Impossible film unwatchably bad. Shoulda been called The Final Recapping based on how many info dumps there are in the first half.

Yet another reminder that it was never about free speech. Quite the opposite, in reality.

This is very interesting.

If you're still giving money to Bezos's Washington Post, I urge you to stop. The only "offense" @karenattiah.bsky.social committed is honesty. Read downthread and consider diverting your support to her work.

Elon Musk spoke by video to Tommy Robinson's anti-immigrant rally in the UK today. "You're in a fundamental situation here where, whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you," said Musk. "You either fight back or you die."

Gavin Newsom really posted that the best way to honor Charlie Kirk's memory is by continuing his work. Fuck you, Gavin.

It would be a shame if this email address were to be signed up for a bunch of sketchy websites and bombarded with spam and false reports from anonymous email accounts

Worth noticing that Ukraine defended itself far better than NATO and against a much more extensive Russian attack at the same time. If we want to be safe we have to help and learn from the Ukrainians.

The FBI is being run by people who have no interest in real justice, other than the one that benefits their own extremist ideology. Tread carefully. 📣

This is class solidarity. In case you’re at all confused.

“Black women do not have the brain processing power to be taken seriously. You have to go steal a white person’s slot”. -Charlie Kirk

Abolitionists have been screaming it from the rooftops for decades and maybe now everyone will finally listen: using police and other armed state agencies as unquestionable sources of truth in reporting is inherently supportive of fascism

💯

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

This is a couple of weeks old, but i just saw it. Holy crap. This is big news, and I'd guess a harbinger for our economy as companies flee the uncertain status of well, everything. here.

The pattern of capitalism everywhere, even before LLMs. Training is expensive, and if you don’t treat employees well they’ll take that training and go elsewhere. So corporations decided to not bother with training. And now complain about incompetent workers lol.

Could we please send out for a O-line? #fortheW

Awesome article in the grossly misunderstood em dash in the paper today! Thank you for defending its honour against those who don't quite understand what's going on... @jenzoratti.bsky.social

I am so tired of adding asterisks to every federal entry in our style guide at work, please keep your he-man dress-up make believe in your own room, thanks

Reminder: the popular "fact" that goldfish have vanishingly tiny attention-spans seems to be complete bollocks. Goldfish memory & cognition is well-studied, going back decades. One study - by a 9th grader, no less - suggests they retain a spatial map of their surroundings for 6+ months. 1/

Incredible thread--thanks for sharing this part of Canadian history!

The thing about living in a human society is you either decide that everyone (except those for whom it would be medically dangerous) has to take VACCINES into their bodies or everyone (with no exceptions at all) has to take VIRULENT PATHOGENS in from those around them and, look, the first is better.

Sometimes research studies are amusing: "Self-identified experts had the lowest multiple-choice question accuracy overall." arxiv.org/pdf/2505.10409

I was told these things were spectacular--miraculous, even--time savers

AI companies are hoping that spending enough money on corrupt politicians will silence the ever-growing controversies and legal problems piling up ever since their silly incel toys were released.

The more computer illiterate you are, the more likely you are to believe large language models are magical instead of the silly incel toys they truly are.

Well, the list of books being banned from EPSB is appalling. And it's very likely that an author on this list will get their other works pulled too, especially in the absence of teacher librarians. There are books on this list that changed my life. This is what the UCP is taking away from kids.
