News flash: MIT rediscovers coupling and cohesion and the idea of a well-structured distribution of responsibilities.

Holy. Shit.

At the age of fifteen, he had already learned silence.

Here’s to 2026

bluesky is where elder millennials enjoying internet retirement meet younger millennials with untreated depression

Iä! Iä! Cthulemon fhtagn!

tidal.com/track/134388... holy shit, this track popped into my mind and damn if the lyrics aren’t super relevant, some decades after.

Explore @adamroberts.bsky.social’s review of THE SHATTERING PEACE by @scalzi.com: “his approach to storytelling and character is ingenuous, direct, heartfelt.”

Nice suit

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.

This is what sand looks like under a microscope. Amazing.

The Dunning-Kruger Effect and the Streisand Effect, when merged, become the Bari Weiss Effect

Oh ffs , not Chris Rea :-(

TIL the gish gallop.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

Shameless self-plug: In addition to free open source ITAM software, Grokability also runs a free form-based email verification service called GoodForms. We don't list-wash, we don't store email addresses, we don't resell your signups and it's a one-line JS drop-in. Give it a try! goodforms.com

Going “intergalactic with your feelings” is peak @mandykathryn.bsky.social and long may it continue

Speaking of AI as a technology being fundamentally fucked even outside of LLMs, especially in medical contexts

AI or not, there is no such thing as a “perfect” software system.

Parents! Carers! Anyone taking care of children over the Christmas holidays! My regular reminder of this thread of TOYS you can make from scrap materials, all of which work due to some sort of interesting scientific principle

Aw, man. Gil Gerard died. It's near impossible to be a Gen-Xer and not have grown up with him as a hero. A soap opera actor turned lunch box superhero, he absolutely dominated the late 70s as Buck Rogers. He was also Jake Rizzo on Sidekicks and many will remember him from THE NICE GUYS. Legend.

“try water fox or ice weasel” try chill penguin. install flame mammoth. you just download bubble crab. literally just use boomer kuwanger. sting chameleon has a search bar, use it to find toxic seahorse.

lol it’s so genuinely fun seeing Cory take decades of fluency in how these systems are broken and serve it up for a mainstream audiences. Even if you know “enshittification” well, this is worth the watch. And love to @eff.org! youtu.be/d2e-c9SF5nE

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

You alright man? I keep seeing small damage numbers coming off you

"Elon bankrolls the Euro extreme right in order to dodge the DSA penalty on Twitter" is the future of politics, isn't it

Poland‘s Vice President Radoslaw Sikorski absolutely torches Elon Musk.

Elon Musk and his Russian friends call for the abolishment of the EU
