This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.

The ring search party feature ain’t nothing but surveillance under the guise of being used for pets. it will be used for people

Macbeth: SHIT

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance required 9,852 theatrical pyrotechnics, nearly 400 costumed extras, and a lot of ingenuity. And yes, that was a real couple featured in the wedding. www.wired.com/story/bad-bu...

Alt-text: People dressed as tall bunches of grass rushing on to the field for the Super Bowl Halftime Show. 🤣

In her honor, please read her original essay about the term she coined:"Vocational Awe". Take a moment today to reflect on your relationship to work, especially if you are in a so-called helping profession, regardless of field.

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there. I need you to listen to these people. STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

This has absolutely no right to work as well as it does.

Working in coordination with standwithminnesota.com, I’m raising rent funds for Minneapolis immigrant families in need. We now have a $5000 match offer (!) and are going to help as many families as we can to stay housed today. V: @Ian-Coldwater CA: $iancoldwater PP: @coldwater Thank you so much! 🌷

We now have a $5000 match offer from an anonymous donor! In coordination with standwithminnesota.com and with your help, we’re going to pay rent for as many Minneapolis immigrant families in need as possible. I will post receipts! V: @Ian-Coldwater CA: $iancoldwater PP: @coldwater Thank you! 🌷

I know it’s intentional but we should stop calling everything AI, lumping useful machine learning techniques for science with large language models that tech companies are trying to cram into everything.

MacKenzie Scott has the chance to do the funniest thing right now.

Some years ago, I was chatting with a Retropolis reader, a young history student, and I mentioned there were several dozen people enslaved in New Jersey up until the day the 13th Amendment kicked in in December 1865. Y’all. He identified every one of them. njs.libraries.rutgers.edu/index.php/nj...

Know your rights in public spaces

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

Key points about this: Make sure they are UNCUT and not peeled. Who knows what that knife did before it cut fruit. Let the person with the food allergy/intolerance prepare it themselves. Do not be insulted if they wash it.

Jenn's quick guide to supplying something like bananas or oranges along with those morning donuts. It covers vegans, several common food allergies, several diets and preferences. It is cheap. Donut eaters will probably eat some too.

I regret to inform you that “1979” by Smashing Pumpkins was released in 1996, which is now 30 years ago. Meaning a similar song released in 2026 would be called “2009”

This is your reminder that food allergies exist and if you are supplying treats for an official work function. MAKE SURE THERE IS AT LEAST ONE THING FOR EVERYONE Being told, "hahaha, BYOD" (bring your own donut) because there is nothing I can eat at Dunkin', is frankly annoying and sad.

Just as a quick note while we discuss all the new (and familiar) names in the Epstein files: be careful about saying "everyone knows" about prominent people who are predators. People new to the field, people less connected (often marginalized folks), people who are adjacent, etc. may not know.

Also, while measles is really pressing for obvious reasons, we're also in a pertussis (whooping cough) resurgence and the vaccine for that TDAP (Tetanus, diphtheria and Pertussis) is once every 10 years but the pertussis part wears off after 3-4 years. Do with that info what you will.

Some notes: Yes, that’s a typo on the month. Date is correct on page 1 and other docs. Also, the scripture: Matthew 19:14 ~ Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” John 11:35 ~ Jesus wept.

Federal judge has ordered the release of Liam Ramos (the bunny hat boy) and his father. A brief and rather remarkable order. Clearly written to be shared widely, so please do. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Let's all take a moment to stop and drink a toast to the wonderfulness and luminosity of Catherine O'Hara. Here's to her.

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

The climatologist told me historians will wonder why we didn’t do more. The epidemiologist told me historians will wonder why we didn’t do more. The activist told me historians will wonder why we didn’t do more. The historian told me that nobody listens to historians.

You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.

reminds me of a friend who explained why recent years have felt so weird to so many millennials here and it’s because “we went into the pandemic young people and came out of it old”

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

AI leading to spamming of every public repository of human knowledge you can think of is a huge problem and so far I've seen zero good solutions This is even starting to happen to open source projects and Karpathy just predicted it's going to happen to GitHub itself

Your Libby rental was free for you, but did you know it cost the D.C. Public Library $59.99? The e-book boom (and a complicated pricing model from publishers) has left library systems strapped for cash. But D.C. lawmakers have a plan to fight back. 51st.news/ebooks-are-e...

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

Do it. I beg you. This madness ends a lot faster if billionaires lose money.
