There have been situations where I have directly asked executives, “what about this technology makes you think this is possible” and none have ever given an answer, let alone one that makes sense. This wave was driven entirely by FOMO and CEOs who golf with each other gassing each other up.

Alito’s standard for racial discrimination in the TPS ruling, that racism has to be the *sole* motivation to count as discriminatory, is so deranged that it could arguably cover neither Jim Crow nor slavery. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

For comparison, the Big E has Deadmaus this year.

An elderly couple stopped me this morning and asked,“when are you going to paint your sidewalk, again? We look forward to it.” I felt so guilty as I haven’t done it since last summer. So, this afternoon I did a quick Kermit.

lmao wtf

You might personally choose not to use AI, but you might not have a choice as to whether your team or office uses it. If your organization is using AI to write alt text, always review it to make sure it's accurate and appropriate. AI won't necessarily understand how or why an image is being used.

Today I was discussing Executive Dysfunction with some folks, and how in our household we call it "The Sits" I decided to make an info poster. It's based on my personal experience with it. Yes, the person is me 😆 #neurodivergent #memes #executivedysfunction

Very active at the Wrenhouse today. Was able to confirm at *least* 3 hatchlings, and I'm pretty sure there's a fourth, but it's *very* hard to see that many at once through the entrance, even with the awesome scope @walelaruby.bsky.social got me! (Photos with the EOS R5 & telephoto lens) #birds

When I read about AI labs hiring philosophers, it makes me think of Ronald Fisher, the "father of modern statistics" who died arguing on behalf of tobacco companies saying that the studies showing cigarettes caused cancer were correlation not causation.

“Why is Mamdani getting all the attention for doing stuff every municipal Democrat does?” Because he brags about it and they brag about means-testing playgrounds! People don’t want that shit any more!

One recurrent problem in both business and politics in the US is that experience in a senior position is seen as an adequate qualification for further senior positions. *Success* in prior positions is not considered a requirement.

PSA to people on Instagram: people who don’t have Instagram can’t see your posts! They see a login prompt. That information about your business or your event? Literally inaccessible

Dave Eggers: ‘Once you have a machine think and write for you, you’re cooked as a species’

This is the ur-issue in American politics. Everything else is downstream of this. Without this we don’t have a country.

If Republicans maintain their majority in Congress, Speaker Mike Johnson intends to spend the next two years running an anti-oversight “protection program” for the White House and its allies. I’m honestly a little surprised he admitted this out loud and in public. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Along with the prior repost of UK being halfway to net zero and Australia getting free electricity from renewables there are a lot of these quiet victories going on. The fossil fuel industry is in full thrash and thunder trying to assert how irreplaceable it is but inch by inch we’re getting there.

this supposed incident took place 20 minutes after i saw them let a white guy with a bag of knives go

No. No. No. Not OK, NYPL. Revert this decision. If you need help getting $ for it, speak up and people will help. This is LIFE and DEATH for people inside Rikers. I beg you to close my local library branch before you cut off library access for people stuck at Rikers Island.

Hello, we are officially here to break hearts/the internet/your piggy bank ⚰️ blackphoenixalchemylab.com/collections/...

I think since being prime minister of the UK has such a high regret rate, we should: * Open Prime Minister Identity Clinics with 2-250 year wait lists * Ask candidates how they masturbate * Allow them to stand for the election only while they undergo talk therapy to convince them that they can't

These kinds of folks used to just become HOA presidents and stalk yards to complain about lawn lengths. Now they have the power to talk social media accounts and narc to the government about thought crimes.

And make no mistake, when the Klan was ranting about unassimilable immigrants in the 1920s, they were very much talking about Italians whom they attacked as Catholic pawns of the pope, as a "criminal race" whose members were all tied to the mafia, and as a non-white threat to white women.

You know who else has never assimilated? Everyone who keeps flying that fucking Confederate flag.

Ask how many more shifts they’d let a surgeon work after a week in which they severely harmed 12-15% of their patients

It’s always been funny to me that they treat Reddit, Instagram, and Facebook posts as legit. Of course there are legit things posted in all of those places but the sources need vetting.

In a 7-2 decision, the Supreme Court sided with cancer.
