At Kagi, we're doing the opposite. We're doubling down on SlopStop: help.kagi.com/kagi/feature... We do offer AI features (all of them optional) but that's not a compromise on our core mission: defending the human web. That's why we also actively support the Small Web in our results.

A star is born every time someone in the pro-AI bubble talks to a normal person

You don’t have to do this to yourself. There are non-Google options. Kagi is one of rude best search engines I have ever used: kagi.com

The NAACP is urging Black athletes and fans to “withhold athletic and financial support” from public universities in states that “have moved to limit, weaken or erase Black voting representation”

Without the pandemic-era PPP loans, I do not think the Jan 6th attack on the US Capitol would have been possible at anything like the scale we saw. Name any prominent Capitol insurrectionist or Jan 6 organizer and there's a good chance they fleeced the PPP program for thousands up to millions.

The Trump $1.776 billion slush fund is not mere corruption. Trump is giving his brownshirts money for recruiting, logistics, AR-15's and tactical gear. Nobody in the national media seems to be talking about this, or about how the Paycheck Protection Program played a central role in funding Jan 6

As tick season ramps up, keep in mind importance of preserving any tick that attaches. In theory, a tick not engorged cannot pass on disease, but there can still be infection and for peace of mind I always send them to the Tick Report. Testing is fast and not that expensive. 1/2 www.tickreport.com

My book also has a MUCH better cover that deserves its own independent review

Reading this review which points out that NDT doesn't seem particularly interested in science fiction and thinking about how the NYT *Books* section completely ignored a book that came out last month which did exactly that You can buy that book here: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/746817...

There are a lot of unanswered questions concerning the need to put a 64 square mile water-guzzling data center in a desert, but one thing is already clear: Kevin O’Leary is a liar

Alberta, let's join hands with Utah and destroy Kevin O'Leary to save the world.

If Democrats had the political instincts and media machine Republicans do, in 48 hours 95% of Americans would know Andrew Paul Johnson's name and be LIVID that the government is getting ready to give him some of your tax money

Farewell, Tom Kane

In memory of the late Tom Kane, here's possibly my favorite Professor Utonium moment, ironically not from the show itself, but from a Cartoon Network bumper. youtu.be/HMD19RaADsQ

This brought me joy.

I’m so furious about how stupid everything is

One more week/episode to go, partly because the season I bought inexplicably did not include episode six, but after that… I’m going classic. I’m thinking of starting with this gem.

In 2013, BBC Earth gave us a Walking With Dinosaurs movie. The 2025 WWD episode "The Journey North" leads us back to the same narrative form, with some of the same wobbliness around the science My latest I Want My DinoTV entry, exclusive to premium subscribers.

We lost another legend. Tom Kane has passed away today, who was best known for voicing Professor Utonium and HIM from "The Powerpuff Girls." His voice will always be with my childhood. Thank you for the wonderful memories, Tom. May Rest in Peace🕊️

it's cool that the president is trying to steal two billion dollars from my taxes to give to his pedophile friends and i'm supposed to like keep doing my job or whatever

New Pinned Post, who dis? This is the official bluesky of Tone Deaf: A Theatre Nerd's Guide for their Musically Challenged Spouse! We're a musical theatre and comedy podcast chronicling the journey of a theatre nerd bringing musicals into the life of their musically challenged spouse! 1/?

Racism so fucking dumb, because why would you be against seeing more of THIS

the president is raiding the treasury to put your tax dollars into this mans personal checking account as a reward for what hes doing in this picture

Not nearly enough reporting about what's happening in Cuba, which the administration is attempting to squeeze, punish, and coerce into submission and violent self destruction. This is so much worse than the embargo. It's hideous. Haiti, Cuba, ongoing boat strike murders: anti-Black foreign policy

I do not and never will use AI for or in my writing. I love writing. It genuinely brings me joy. The days and hours of thinking through exactly how I want to write something out are hard work that I relish doing. Why would I ever turn the best part of my job over to a computer? How could anyone?

Did you read a book if you skipped the prologue, epilogue, and everything that isn't dialogue? Is the epilogue even part of the story? Are prologues just "author yap"? Are they even "in the book?" New Video: "Maybe You Don't Like Reading" youtu.be/gZUCHqotnwA

who called it wikifeet and not footnotes

Well, it happened. A client disregarded my advice about using generative AI and guess what? It gave them bad advice AND the judge ruled that by using it, Client waived confidentiality and ordered us to turn a bunch of private stuff over. STOP USING GENERATIVE AI FOR LEGAL THINGS. I BEG YOU.

again, staying completely silent on the actual merits of ai, the initial ai boosters basically campaigned on "this will eliminate your job, forever, and make me personally rich." it should not surprise *anyone* that this provoked a backlash.

jesus christ do i have to do everything around here
