Slightly increase a band: The Flying Burrito Siblings

Toffee time! Orange-rose-pistachio toffee.

Fuckin hoppel poppel never misses.

incredibly funny how the outbreak happened after the two main countries involved, the united states and argentina, completely obliterated their public health and regulatory agencies for insane kulturkampf reasons

Monthly ebook releases on Amazon were basically flat before the release of ChatGPT and other LLMs. Now around 2/3 of all ebooks released on Amazon are fake.

We've gone from throwing rocks at each other to throwing exploding rocks at each other. We've gone from burning wood to burning fossil goop. We taught rocks to think, but it won't matter if it doesn't help us stop throwing and burning.

The Pundit's Fallacy is basically ubiquitous now. No one even tries to avoid it. For those unfamiliar: the pundit's fallacy is when you say, "the way for [politician or party or movement] to succeed is by [doing my exact policy preferences."

Teachers: "Please help us get AI out of schools, it's ruining education!" Students: "Please don't make us use AI, it's ruining our lives!" Politicians: "We hear you and we want to help you harness the power of AI." #NihilismAndTechnology

This is my Tom Holland Doing Umbrella. I must RT it whenever I see it.

just overheard a 4th grader telling her friend, "if you ever need to distract some boys, literally just draw an X in the dirt. they'll stop to dig it up, they can't help it" which is the only gender metric I'll be using, moving forward

Joan Baez and the Indigo Girls covering "Don't Think Twice It's Alright" live and it's a SPECIFIC time they did it live and the version on Spotify isn't the right one youtu.be/1pS6_VvIiuk?...

Today at work, a non-engineer told me their non-engineer boss directed them to use an LLM to *access a database to grab some information*. 1. Never, ever, ever do this. 2. If this is where things are heading, we're in trouble.

Is that bad? Seems bad

It pays to have friends....😂

When you use AI to do your writing, you are telling your audience: “I deserve your attention, but you do not deserve my effort.”

Today an editor emailed me to debate a single word in a forthcoming story. And they were right. So delicious to taste what they were tasting in that sentence. Thanks for fighting for our work in all the ways, editors out there!

this is super fucked. do not do this.

Things go better if they can keep him out of the room.

Writers, here's a useful tip if you're working across multiple files and you need a quick word count estimate without having to open up each file individually. For most text editors (MS Word, G-Drive, etc), 1KB of text ~ 200 words. 📖 😀 You can see file sizes in your Finder or File Explorer.

An egg salad sandwiche ys the perfecte foode for when you are feelinge downe. An egg salad sandwiche wil not make you feele bettir, but synce it ys a sandwiche that doth looke a litel depressed itself it wil be goode companye and be able to sympathyze.

Record profits are unpaid wages and unpaid taxes.

Kaine: "You don't sucker punch somebody in a bar and then blame your buddies when they don't join the fight with you. If the president wanted the support of allies, he should've respected them instead of putting tariffs on their economies and trash talking them."

We cannot risk the world nor the wellbeing of our nation any longer,” she wrote. “Whether by his Cabinet or Congress, the President must be removed from office. We are playing with the brink.”

Writer friends! Best places for speculative-fiction / flash-fiction author interviews?

Okay, you got two weeks to relieve this crazy fucker from command.

We are currently open for reprints from Anthologies and Collections published, or due to be published, in 2026.* Books only, not magazines or periodicals. Anything up to 6000 words (we like flash!) escapeartists.moksha.io/publication/... (*Strictly 2026. We’ll open for general subs in August)

No big deal just a solar eclipse as seen from the moon streamed to us here on Earth by astronauts who are farther away from their home planet than any human has ever been

This is the face of a lunar scientist who has just been told that the #Artemis II crew saw SEVERAL impact flashes (the flashes when meteors hit the lunar surface) in real time 😃 🌓💥

1970s: There were 1500+ murders per year in NYC in the 1970s. There were several active serial killers. That's not counting the DeMeo crew that killed ~200 people, including random civilians for "practice." 2025: NYC had only 75 murders, the lowest number ever recorded since record keeping began.

Do all baseball games feature good boys picking up after their humans? I’m just saying, y’all could have led with this when tryna sell me on the sport.

Soon AI use will be disrupted by the cheaper and more reliable alternative that's sweeping the business world: hiring human experts to do the work instead

😂

Oooh, good ques-FUCK YOU

From Dec of 2024: I think the major thing I would update is that loyalty to Trump, by itself, is not the only criteria for military promotion now. Officers must also fit with Hegseth's white Christian nationalist selection process donmoynihan.substack.com/p/you-should...

Contact your senators and get angry. This here is the theft and selling of Your Land, Your Forests, Your Country. Absolutely unacceptable to even think of doing this.

"None of these things have materialized. In fact, we have fewer manufacturing jobs today than we had a year ago, according to the most recent data. We have not had a manufacturing renaissance." @crampell.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social discuss the one year anniversary of Liberation Day.

Median family income in the US increased from $10,000 in 1971 to $106,000 today, a 10x increase. However, the median cost of homes increased from $25,000 to $445,000, a 17x increase. And the average cost of healthcare per person increased from $350 to $14,600, a 42x increase. THIS IS INSANE.

😖🤷‍♂️😬

I hope this is driving home to folks that anti-DEI/anti-woke are functioning mostly as a way to make racism more palatable by framing it as a kind of defensive reaction to an imagined unfairness.

Many years ago, this would have been a huge deal. Now it barely registers.

No doubt VOTE like your life depends on it... because it does...

good post

I think one really cool thing about our return to the moon is that we just have vastly better cameras now

I can't believe Katherine Johnson used to do these sorts of calculations and simulations BY HAND. I'm flabbergasted.

No kings means we don’t bow. Not to ego, not to power, not to fear. You answer to us, or you’re done. #WeSayNoKings

The final No Kings map just dropped and it is COVERED in blue dots. 3,267 events around the world. They said we were fringe. They said we were few. Look at that map and tell us that again. See you tomorrow! 👑🚫 #WeSayNoKings
