I will never want app notifications, leave me the hell alone with your latest updates. If I want to know something I’ll go look

I don’t take as many photos of Onyx because it’s really difficult to capture her full cuteness in a photo. So here’s a video:

How am I doing, @sentimentbot.bsky.social ?

Here's one thing you can do: a disney+ subscription is around 16 dollars. Go on Patreon/Kofi, find your top 16 creators/youtubers with less than a million subscribers and give them each $1 a month. Changes lives, believe me

Tell me, why does Musk get to tell Microsoft how to manage employees? Far right extremism isn’t just threatening media, it’s threatening every single one of us. If we continue to bend to their demands we will all be forced into silence. www.theverge.com/news/777664/...

My publication @motherjones.com has a 50k in matching donor right now! If you want to support nonprofit media that employes this lil disability journalist, it is also a tax write-off! secure.motherjones.com/flex/mj/key/...

cancelling Disney+ and Hulu is well and good but it’s not a huge hit on an individual level but Disney adults? people who spend real money at the parks? you guys can make a dent, call ‘em up and tell them your vacation is postponed until they pull their heads out of their asses

I’ve been anxious about you know the state of things and struggling to sleep. But Felix never ceases to be next to me, purring and calming my nervous system.

Alright things are bad as per usual so I’m gonna go out of my way to post cat stuff Both Onyx and Felix seem much happier with feeder puzzles than just getting food. I love them very much

If you’re rich and not a coward, this is what you’d refer to as a “market opportunity” to dominate a media ecosystem that’s about to be covered in grotesque government slop. To be a pop of color in a sea of beige will be easier than ever. People will flock to it. You gotta be a little brave, though.

If we all quoted what Charlie Kirk has said, would they try to take all of our jobs? When is enough enough?

I am a @motherjones.com monthly supporter now specifically because of Julia’s work

From now on I'm making a point to use the correct language to describe technology that is currently described as "AI." An LLM isn't AI Image generators aren't AI Machine learning isn't AI Algorithms aren't AI AI is a marketing term that obscures meaningful critique of real technologies.

Teen Vogue is out there with better journalism than NYTimes and WashingtonPost Hell yeah Teen Vogue

Relatable king / friendly pharoah #critterposting #alttextposting

I have two thoughts: 1 - independent journalism is challenging power and cool as hell, give them your attention 2 - Robert Redford could get it

In today's not horrifying news: I am clicker training my cat Felix because the cat behavioral specialist said he's bored and bullying my other cat, Onyx. Felix is 10 years old, so...you can't teach an old dog new tricks but you can teach an old cat.

I have been trying to figure out how people recover from burnout in a system designed to have them stay burnt out. For all the books and articles I’ve read, my friend put it best when they told me that recovery can only happen when nothing is expected of you for some time.

"Don't worry, AI can write accessible code for you!" The code: <div class="accessible-checkbox" aria label="add_description_here"></div>

Supposedly the site used by far right extremists to "report" anyone who commented on Charlie Kirk's murder in any light less than favorable has been hacked and taken down. As a note, the site was created via Squarespace. www.muellershewrote.com/p/breaking-e...

Pulitzer Feeling Increasingly Out Of Place In Washington Post Office

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

I've been reading an incredible book, that I recommend for people who are AI skeptics. The concept of AI as a marketing term isn't new, but this book does an amazing job of explaining how and why. thecon.ai

This is a great metaphor for all the UX "redesigns" motivated by itchy fingers rather than actual user needs.

I feel very fortunate to be hired to cover disability at @motherjones.com. There's less than 10 people whose job is mainly covering disability full-time/non-temp positions in newsrooms. There should be a lot more.

a question I often find myself asking these days: "are these the moves of a movement that feels that it's winning or one desperately afraid that it's about to lose everything?"

Important call for massive, tangible escalation: doctors strike unless RFK resigns: www.statnews.com/2025/09/12/r... Yes absolutely

Felix is smort boi

I know we are all hella stressed out right now, drained and feeling powerless. A gentle reminder that you can give time/resources to mutual aid in your local community and it helps. Here’s one I value in Seattle if you’re looking to give and are PNW based. www.patreon.com/MutualAidPar...

Somehow despite all of this I can still watch a video of kittens and smile. Don’t worry I fixed democracy guys, it’s just kitten videos

I like cats, I too struggle with change and feel overwhelmed in noisy environments and like little treats.

Mainstream pundits have instantly sanitized and ignored Charlie Kirk's core political project and its impacts. He has been remembered by the mainstream press as someone they merely disagreed with, a debate me-guy whose words and actions had zero consequences: www.404media.co/charlie-kirk...

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment. Jared Polis has failed Colorado.

Im a designer working in tech, it’s a hard space to navigate now. Especially if you care about ethical and inclusive technology. But I am giving a talk this week where I’m hoping to remind designers that they can practice this work in small every day actions. I hope it helps someone feel hopeful.

That thing you absolutely hate about the website? Probably was made in a 30 minute meeting where the PM was like "yeah do this" with no data, the engineer did as told, and the designer wasn't invited. Or because one person is doing the job of a PM, engineer and designer with "AI" supporting them.

Girl bossing is about consuming vital electric and water resources that people critically need to survive You know just girly pop things 💅🏻

Remember: there's no audience for AI-produced content. Nobody in the AI ecosystem is there to read or listen - only to publish their own slop.

I think we will see a lot more small scale companies pop up built on not using AI. “By humans for humans”

Jerry no! I mean—BOOKMARKS, yes!

Vaccines are battle training for your immune system. If you could give it intel on the enemy, why would you withhold that? Give me ALL the vaccines! I want to be prepared for everything!

Understanding how people work together is hard. Ordering them to use ChatGPT is easy. So managers do the latter, and then express shock when productivity plummets. That's because problem framing is a social task. If you skip it, your solution will be wrong for ever; "build to learn" won't save you.

Both political parties are complicit in upholding our evil for profit insurance system www.ft.com/content/9af0...

It's also a good time for researchers to speak up if they find their research has been incorrectly used to push "autism epidemic" narratives.

I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

Isn’t this the same logic that Oceangate had? Does anyone remember how that ended for them?

wild how quickly we got from "people you're friends with on the computer aren't like REAL friends" all the way to "my computer and i are getting married"
