Jeez, things are not great inside Google www.linkedin.com/posts/amshal...

Please let this happen!

I can't stop thinking about this video since I saw it last night

Saw a photo from my kid’s school which had a poster in the background which said “Progress over perfection”. I wish I had that hammered into me when I was his age! Hoping to make good progress on a work project today. Perfection will have to wait.

My first newsgroup post was in 1989. I don’t think it was archived. That’s a good thing.

Ballroom’s haunted.

These stickers are all over the gas pumps here! Nice!

May 5, 2014: This day at @twit.tv was amazing! We had an executive from Arby’s on a show and he sent over a ton of food!

A reminder to my friends and family back in Maine. You have rank choice vote and don’t have to vote for the guy with the nazi tattoo and terrible Reddit history. Andrea is a union leader, teacher, and more qualified than an oyster farmer!

Boston: “Finally! This is our time to shine!”

In May 1995, I started a “CHiPs” web site with my friend Tim Lewis. I still have it running.

A class at my kids’ school put up little statements about the good they want to do in the world and I was over the moon about this one - then I learned they meant to say “teach people in jail” which is also good!

I think about this all the time.

A normal President wouldn’t even be asked to take ONE cognitive test. The only reason to take THREE is if you didn’t do as well as he claims he did on the first two.

this is why I enjoy pointing out that the COME SEE FOX NEWS GUY TALK ABOUT HIS PLAN FOR AMERICA speech at the civic center generally draws fewer attendees than the COME SEE A BUNCH OF TEENAGERS ROLEPLAYING AS NARUTO CHARACTERS TALK ABOUT THEIR DAY at the local anime con

my latest for @theverge.com is about something i’ve been hearing constantly: Gen Z hates ”AI”, and many young people are deeply resentful of the jobs, schools, and institutions that are now pressuring or forcing them to use it.

that’s right @govpritzker.illinois.gov do it

Supreme Court Overturns ‘Right v. Wrong’ https://theonion.com/supreme-court-overturns-right-v-wrong-1819573211/

Every time I see someone talk about Claude I think about how they switched from female to male names as soon as they wanted the robots to seem like experts vs personal assistants.

Last August, Trump claimed that his tariffs had collected "trillions" & that everybody would get a fat check & no taxes. ... So why is nobody making a bigger deal out of the fact that 6 months later it was revealed Trump Tariffs had collected only $166 billion? www.forbes.com/sites/tylerr...

Remember when Trump kept promising that NO tax dollars would be used for his ballroom because he already had $400 million in private donations? So I guess one of the impeachment investigations will be, "what happened to the $400 million in private donations?"

I am so excited to be getting off of Wix. It used to be a bit basic but usable, but these days it is Windows 11'ing HARD. Cramming AI into every orifice, getting buggier and stupider, spamming you at every turn, trying to upsell you. Sooooooon

I went to see this with my cousin, Kristian, and a guy got up and left during the credits for This Island Earth and missed the end of the actual movie. 😅

I’m amused this phone-in-pool loser has blocked @fancons.com and @trainshows.net which have absolutely never interacted with him nor (that I recall) posted about AI. He’s just blocking massive amounts of accounts because he feels threatened. 😅

Yeah, and I could drive a half-marathon OR a full marathon faster than this robot. Big deal.

We love seeing readers discover the Berrybrook Middle School series! BookCon attendees! Head to booth 136 to grab copies of Svetlana Chmakova's beloved middle-grade comics, and find out more info on the upcoming release of Fight!

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

I wish Dad got this vaccine six years ago. 😭 Fuck cancer!

With the upcoming release of Fight, the next installment of the Berrybrook Middle School series, there’s no better time to revisit Svetlana Chmakova’s beloved comics. Booth 136 at #BookCon is your stop for middle-grade favorites: Awkward, Brave, and The Weirn Books!

I have no idea how big that banner is, but I want it!

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

Lolololol

❗NEW TITLE ANNOUNCEMENT❗ We have some exciting news for all you Berrybrook readers on this wonderful Friday! 🎒🏫 Head on over to our friends at School Library Journal to learn more about the new installment 👉️ buff.ly/YoZCZKq

sources tell me the head of the Chongqing Metro was a big fan of going to the dentist's office as a child

Yeah, I’m gonna need the Senate to come in on Saturday and work on those TPS reports, m’kay?

Big news today at Good Comics for Kids: After a four-year break, @svetlania.bsky.social returns to Berrybrook Middle School for Fight, the sixth book in the series, coming later this year from @yenpress.com: goodcomicsforkids.slj.com/2026/04/17/s...

"some teenagers in a car drove by me, flipped me off, and yelled at me." "were you driving a cybertruck?" "what i drive is unimportant!"

Quote post with something good that lasted longer than the Confederacy (1861-1865) Linus the bunny lived nearly 4 times as long!

I assume this taxes a certain guy who lives and votes in West Palm Beach but owns New York property. Good.

I think I just figured out Stu’s plan for Tokyopop… 1) Collect underpants (or go public) 2) Announce you’re pivoting to AI 3) Profit!

Post your favorite film from the year you turned 18

Just to give a sense of the insane scale of billions of dollars…MacKenzie Scott got about $38 billion after divorcing Bezos in 2019. She has become the world’s most generous philanthropist, giving away over $19 billion…and she’s currently wealthier than she started. Just. Tax. Them.

Five years today and I still think about you every day, Dad. 😢

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

The new social media ban in Massachusetts is so sweeping in its definition of "social media" that it would require age-verification for Wikipedia. You don't protect kids by cutting off resources. acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:...
