my old ass when everyone else at work is talking about a TV show

We should be two “D&D Honor Among Thieves” sequels deep.

Whispered Apologies was a thing started by @ryannorth.ca where people submitted comic art with no text or dialog and then somebody else wrote the text or dialog. This comic about relationships was drawn by me and written by Ryan and is still probably the best comic I’ve ever been part of creating.

In a new paper with Huili Chen, Stephen Grimm, and Olga Russakovsky we offer a TAXONOMY of accounts of machine understanding, introducing model-based or ability-based accounts that can be augmented with etiological or phenomenological requirements: doi.org/10.1016/j.ti...

Just found a subreddit that pairs people with fucked up balls of string with people who love detangling balls of string and it is *very* wholesome

It’s so creepy! There’s something fundamentally damp and sticky about every Anthropic statement.

The idea that emotions/affective states are some extraneous bolted on thing and not an essential information-carrying component of cognition is, like, the Big Lie of artificial intelligence.

This is still easily my favorite stutter so far: womens.

idk how this plays into lettering but it's also I think I'm always begging new comicers. plan out the direction people will read the page otherwise FUCK

During his talk at RBS, James Malin—not on Bsky—showed this title page from a 19th-century catalog for Alfred Nobel’s Nitro-Glycerin Company I’d like to nominate this image for the most metal cut in print history—we need to make something with it for Halloween @skeuomorphpress.org

This brought me joy.

Remember the outrage over the "um" quote from the NYT AOC-in-Munich Feb story? I checked it out: just 8 of 36k (!) quotes that day across popular US news included um or ah 🤔 My latest in Storybench shows how I did it & connects to racial/gender news biases www.storybench.org/whose-quotes...

REMINDS ME OF THE BEST FILM REVIEW OF THE BEST FILM EVER featuring THE GRANDMOTHERS I NEVER KNEW I WANTED

God I love this film so much lmao, I remember seeing it in cinemas when it came out and it just felt like... I dunno like I had *no idea* it was gonna be that good going in, just blew my expectations out of the water. I honestly can't look at action films the same way, why aren't they all like this?

Chad Johnson is CEO of 'Grain Weevil'. His son did robotics competitions in high school, which inspired this little fella that breaks up hardened surfaces & levels grain to ensure it behaves like a liquid, avoids clumping. This probably saves 10-30 human lives a year. NO BOOTS IN THE GRAIN.

One reason FDR's court-packing plan failed to catch on is that the Supreme Court was perceived by many Americans as apolitical and therefore a victim of unwarranted aggression from the president. This court, however, is nakedly partisan. And any Democrat in power should be saying so early and often

The Purcell Principle means it always too late for courts to fix something racist and never too late for states to do something racist

In every academic book there is a secret second book hiding in the footnotes. Sometimes it is the first draft that had migrated there to escape the revisions. Sometimes it is the author's tortured secret rebuttal of their own claims, and sometimes it is the incipient form of the their next book.

Apparently, Stephen Miller and Kash Patel were seen rolling the president down the hall to the White House Juicing Room.

this time we did get in to see The Christophers! and it was in such a teensy little screening room that i can see how it managed to sell out. but then also! it only cost TWELVE AMERICAN DOLLARS for the pair of adult tickets! and most importantly, the movie was great

we were going to see The Christophers with friends tonight, but when we got there, it was sold out! maybe this happens to some of you all the time, but it has been a zillion years since it's happened to me. i was a little disappointed but honestly it was also thrilling. good for you, theater!

Went to a physical art supply store; had significant revelation about the linguistics term "calque."

I wish there was a non-xenon 0vbb gas with electron drift, don't you? That's what this paper is about. To find a new 0vbb gas, we dug through every chemical catalog we could find to identify every easily-vaporized species of Ge, Se, Te, Zr, Mo, Sn, Pd, Nd, Ca. 6/

people think this is AI and I am here to tell you that “sits peeing down” is the most 100% human-written thing I have ever seen

people fucking died for the voting rights act. to wave it away with a magic wand is just so grotesque

"The Story of Webster's Third'? *That* Morton??" "You know it?" "Of course! I cite it in both of my books! Everyone who works on dictionaries knows his book!" She clasped both her hands to her chest and shouted, "YOU KNOW ABOUT UNCLE HERBIE??" Reader: boy did I. 3/n

20/ “Elements of Surprise: Our Mental Limits and the Satisfactions of Plot” by @vtobin.bsky.social I can really nerd out on books about writing books.

It's a shame that "defend your culture" always means "hate strangers different from you" and never "enact anti-pollution laws so that you can go fishing with your grandkids the way your grandpa taught you."

truth coming out of her cup noodles to shame mankind

leaving aside for the moment the somewhat obscure reasons I chose to bring this up the study of the navigational system of the saharan desert ant is incredible science. They mapped out down to the level of individual axons how the dead reckoning the ants use is wired up! So rad.

*incredible* ten minutes for this rule

Social media is no longer social. Most of it is passive viewing of videos and pictures from people we've never met. But we're still studying social media like it's 2010. We've entered the post-social media era — and research needs to catch up. osf.io/preprints/so... preprint w/ Richard Rogers

Looking forward to reading this!

ME: Ah, but one of us only lies and the other tells only the truth! OTHER GUY: (to the adventures) He does this every time. You guys can just go in

was recently reminded of one of my all-time favorite bits of sequential acting, drawn by Natalya Lobanova

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars. We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director. Please stand by for more.

It's in the dictionary next to Upton Sinclair's famous line that "it is hard to get a man to understand something when he is a massive dumbass"

for an idea of how big a deal this is, my mom was in great shape when she got diagnosed and she lasted less than sixty days. six years is insane.

Trump is reported close to a "deal" with himself under which US taxpayers would pay him $10 billion. I served in multiple communist and authoritarian dictatorships, but I never witnessed corruption on this scale or this blatant.

Dude, this comes from a theatre program. It isn't a composite. Just because you couldn't find the ad doesn't mean that I must have fabricated it.

this is the zombie hello kitty piñata custom ordered by my sweet sweet 4yo daughter 🤩😅

My dad gave me one dollar bill 'Cause I'm his smartest son, And I swapped it for two shiny quarters 'Cause two is more than one! And then I took the quarters And traded them to Lou For three dimes -- I guess he don't know That three is more than two!
