I just thought everyone should see this

If you are in Seattle, please go patronize this store because this is amazing content/promo 😂 (laughing to keep from crying, and I do kind of low-key want that orange spider plant I have never seen that before) Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DTQrTqZ...

This is your reminder that Hungarian-Jewish scientist George de Hevesy dissolved two Nobel Prizes in aqua regia to keep them out of the hands of the Nazis. He then left the dissolved solution on his shelf and fled to Sweden. (After the war he un-dissolved the gold and the prizes were re-cast.)

We are so excited to unveil our special edition set of the first two books in the international bestselling fantasy series The Dwarves by Markus Heitz in association with @orbit! ⚒️ The first set will include The Dwarves and The War of the Dwarves. ⛰️

Every example of ai being useful begins with "okay imagine you're in a situation, and you are very dumb"

Von 100 €, die für Games in 🇩🇪 ausgegeben werden, landen 5,50 € bei deutschen Studios und Publishern - eine von vielen Erkenntnissen der Games-Studie, die Forschungsministerin @dorobaer.bsky.social und der @gameverband.bsky.social heute in Berlin vorgestellt haben.

What is a cozy book? Rachel's trying to sort them all (or at least a fair number of them) starting with the excellent The Witch Roads by Kate Elliott 📚🪐💙 rachelgutin.wordpress.com/2026/01/01/t...

I choose to take this as a positive omen. (As named and drawn by Paul Kidby, illustrator of Discworld.)

Do I have this right? A Wall Street financier is shaping opinions for a newspaper owned by hedge funds to manufacture consent for technology built on intellectual theft to consolidate wealth and power into the hands of narcissistic billionaires while pouring gasoline on a climate crisis? 🤔

I will quote Cory Doctorow about talking with Cryptobros, which unsurprisingly matches exactly the conversation with GenAIBROS: "This is literally what happens when you argue with Scientologists, and life is Just. Too. Short." Read his blogpost instead of that letter. pluralistic.net/2025/12/05/p...

My entire existence has been summed up in a t-shirt . . .

The black cat atop the stones at Stonehenge during the Winter Solstice 2025 celebrations, delivering its blessings for the coming year.

The tipping and tapping on top of the roof, The swish of a sleigh and the stomp of a hoof, As the squeals and the snorts echo out through the night We know that the Hogfather's started his flight.

The wheel turns; the summer ends. The light departs, the cold descends, And we are left to hold the light Against the cold and longest night. The wind that howls around the door, The tracks of snow upon the floor. Reach for your loves and hold them tight Against the cold and longest night.

Dick Van Dyke is 100! 🤯 My eternal Bert, because even though Mary Poppins came out 16 years before I was born, it's probably the movie I watched the most during my childhood. He had notably dabbled in sci-fi with a Twilight Zone parody in The Dick Van Dyke Show: It May Look Like a Walnut (1963).

I too would much rather kiss on the beach than talk about AI

A discussion about @aptshadow.bsky.social s writing speed on Discord led to this comment: "Chat-Adrian-T is the UK competitor to Open AI. Sure, the Americans have billions and billions of dollars and massive data centers to power their models. But we have Adrian Tchaikovsky and a large pot of tea."

Currently dorking out over this graph about child mortality with my brother. Just mind boggling to take in.

Heute vor exakt 3 Jahren wurde ChatGPT veröffentlicht. Statt der Utopie haben wir: - Damit überforderte Bildungssysteme - Propagandamaschinen turned to 11 - Scientific Fraud - GDP Steigerung nur wegen Kreislaufgeschäften der großen Tech Firmen - Dead Internet - "Ich habe GPT gefragt ..." Cool.

This is why I pay for the World Wide Web. Because it delivers ART!

stupid young people, stop buying a new phone every year if you don't want to be broke. wait no, not like that.

Die @bpb.de hat sich von X verabschiedet und wird deswegen massiv von rechts kritisiert. Ich denke, da sollte man mal reinfolgen.

Erwachsensein ist ein langer ruhiger Fluss aus „Was wollte ich noch nochmal?“ und „Huch, schon so spät?“ Ab und zu gähnt man.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you?

In an era filled with tech dipshits who never developed emotionally past the age of 13 & use their wealth to become odious monsters ... ... listen to Steve Wozniak.

I made this clip to illustrate my 10 year love-hate experience on Twitter and what made me finally walk away. 🤣😂

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

Hey, computer - yes, I’m looking straight at you- stop trying to change what I write. No, I don’t want your suggestions on what to write - you’re a frickin computer; stick to your lane. I have your replacement - she and I worked well together for years…

Earlier today, I was notified that someone was at my door. This is who it was:

14/14 (c) „Post-hierarchische Fiktion“ Das Wissenschaftssystem wirkt flach und kollegial – aber Hierarchien werden nicht abgebaut, sondern entformalisiert. Verantwortung wandert nach unten, Entscheidungsmacht bleibt oben. → typische post-neoliberale Organisationsform.

Every few years I feel compelled to post about the best hotel hack ever, because every time I post about it, it turns out to be new to lots of folks …

just learned we won an award for our blog post about Tom Holland and stormwater management. remember, when you see an article about stormwater management, you repost it. i don’t make the rules.

KI-"Kunst" verfüttert den tiefsten Ausdruck der menschlichen Seele an eine automatisierte Hackmaschine, stückelt daraus bizarre Frankenstein-Zerrbilder echter Kreativität zusammen und nennt das dann Arbeitszeit-Ersparnis.

authors you have the chance to do the funniest thing right now

Pope Leo absolutely cooking

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

@adapalmer.bsky.social I would like to get a better understanding of Norse Myths and especially the Edda in preparation for Hearth Fire, do you know any good books in that direction (maybe commented translations or straight non fiction)?
