FIFA is hopelessly rotten, but some of those guys might actually respond to public pressure (remember Disney and Kimmel):

Holy shit, it works. Replies come along for the ride. But (I think) likes might get lost.

This is a test post from Anisota (and this is an edit!)

Protesters have now started to storm government buildings in Iran. aje.io/77do6o

we need to overthrow dance dance fascism and form a new system of dance dance government, for the dance dance people and by the dance dance people. what we need is a dance dance r— *is hauled off stage with a comically large shepherds crook*

My spouse insists on extracting every last penny of savings when shopping. And I'll say "surely, the amount of time you've spent haggling is not worth the $2 you'll save". But she says she actually enjoys this, so it's worth it. Anyways, this is a post about arguing with strangers on the Internet.

"The President really wants us to bomb something on Christmas." "How about we bomb that empty field and call it ISIS?" Sounds unfortunately plausible these days.

The AI is management and the GPU is labor, I’m not interested in what the suits have to say

Study in Helsinki indicating benefits of portable air cleaners on lowering infection risk in daycare centers, less absences & parent absences from work in intervention vs. reference (no air cleaner) groups. Cleaning indoor air is not difficult and it works. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

OK, but what if Gaston survives but resents the prince, who incidentally resembles him, and he pouts until the French revolution happens and an angry mob wants to guillotine the prince but then Gaston switches places with the prince and it's a far, far better thing he does than he has ever done?

Researchers have found two new vulnerabilities in React Server Components while attempting to exploit the patches last week. These are new issues, separate from the critical CVE last week. The patch for React2Shell remains effective for the Remote Code Execution exploit.

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment. They are openly saying this. Who would want to live in a country that works like that?

I put the founding date of Free Law Project as the BlueSky birthday of @free.law, and so that’s how we lost access to the account today:

No one's left. Everything's gone. Kharak is burning...

I thoroughly recommend reading all of Cory Doctorow's recent speech on AI skepticism, it's crammed with new arguments and interesting new ways of thinking about these problems pluralistic.net/2025/12/05/p...

There was a recent post grumbling that the Dells could have had a bigger impact with a targeted project rather than just giving every kid $250. And, this might be one of those? Like, "replace the air filters" is mosquito net levels of effectiveness for the EA-inclined.

“She showed up as scheduled, and when she arrived, officers were asking everyone what country they were from, and if they said a certain country, they were told to step out of line and that their oath ceremonies were canceled.” www.wgbh.org/news/local/2... @gbhnews.bsky.social

@bencollins.bsky.social It'd be nice if there was a way to gift an annual subscription to The Onion in a way that I can physically hand to someone. Like, I can go to the website and enter in an address. But it'd be cool if I could also order a box and inside is a voucher for a subscription.

We are constructs. We do not attend dinner parties. We merely observe poorly secured social event feeds.

A perfect CVSS 10 🧑🏻‍🍳💋 CVE-2025-55182: Unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability in React Server Components The vuln is in versions 19.0, 19.1.0, 19.1.1, and 19.2.0: react-server-dom-webpack react-server-dom-parcel react-server-dom-turbopack Upgrade immediately!

Are there any Chinese literacy peeps who know how this is supposed to work with Chinese? Kiddo is in elementary school and uses phonics for English, but they're definitely three-cueing / whole-wording characters when reading Chinese.

Appception: British Airways’s app using a WebView to embed their website, which recommends installing the app I’m already on 😅

"A non-profit built AI, but it's a machine that steals intellectual property and regurgitates it in new ways for almost free, and it might not be economically sustainable" is also a very particular interpretation of "fully automated luxury space communism"

Kavanaugh stop. Smashed the kid’s car windows and arrested him. He told them he was a U.S. citizen. The officer replied “I don’t care.” www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

LLMs are word generators. They were trained on the writings of humans who describe their own consciousness, so the fact that they mimic (or outright replicate) those writings when told to be more factual isn't strange. The idea that any of this output is eerie is propaganda.

A "simple" thing that would improve the @bsky.app following feed is an option to hide reposts of posts that I've previously liked.

Health care plans

It'd be nice if there was a way for other users to dispute a @safety.bsky.app moderation label. Like, if I see the "rude" label applied incorrectly to a post I come across, I just want to mash a button to say "no it's not".

Here's an example: If you set up a sensor to record the temp once an hour, you have a set of data What makes that be *information* about the hourly temperature at that location is the calibration to a shared system for measuring temperature, and a working process for accurately archiving a reading

TIL (derogatory): GitHub rounds up action usage time to the nearest minute. So if you have 60 action invocations that run for 10 seconds each, that counts as 60 billable minutes, as opposed to the actual 10 minutes of actual clock time.

you'd think the forced displacement of 10 million people from one of the oldest centres of civilisation in human history would get a little more news attention than beltway journalists writing essays on how Olivia Nuzzi is a genius because they want to bone her and you'd be wrong

Trump's censor in chief at the FCC, Brendan Carr, just sent a letter to the heads of BBC, NPR and PBS informing them he's launching a "news distortion" probe into the BBC's editing of a documentary on Trump's Jan. 6 activities. Here it is:

Inside you are two wolves. Each wolf is working on an AI IDE.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”

This is like a reverse version of xkcd.com/538/. Once you get to a certain level of wealth and power, you realize you can just brute force your problems.

The fact that there's no built-in way to search for labelers on Bluesky is a travesty.

Video game idea: You are a raccoon on a spaceship. You have no idea how you got there, but there is a crazy AI giving you missions. You can help the AI take over the ship, but you can also just do raccoon stuff and steal people's space trash. Basically, System Shock meets Untitled Goose Game

This is incidentally my take on Slack. Well, that and notifications. I don't need an AI summary of my notifications. I just want more granular control over when I get notified.

The room is almost all elephant. Almost none of it isn’t. Pretty much solid elephant. So there’s no room to talk about it. -Kay Ryan, “The Elephant in the Room” #everynightapoem

Your numbers depict the topology of possibility, not probability. Each ship, each captain, each intelligence must still trust the other. For even if you have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries, without charity, we are but blind, moving through a forest darkly.

Facet spam is apparently a thing! My preferred "solution" for this would be to just show the hidden mention rather than hide the messages altogether.

Attention passengers: Please refrain from high-fiving the maintenance drones.

There are streets in my neighborhood that, as a pedestrian, I always thought of as flat. They look flat. Now that I cycle them, I'm very aware of which direction their 1 to 2% grades go.
