I like how the Jays logo looks like he has a flower behind his ear but it's a maple leaf :)

Remember: if it's white smoke coming from Dodgers stadium, a run has been scored. If it's black smoke, we play another inning.

The Jays and Dodgers will break for Christmas Eve to share a drink in no man’s land, show each other photos of the family they left back home, before heading back to their respective trenches.

Congrats to baseball fans for getting into edging

I asked Microsoft PR about this—specially the DHS using Halo IP to recruit for ICE—and the company declined to comment.

Stuff I Like

Donald Trump has intentionally instructed the federal government to withhold emergency funding for SNAP - that is already paid for and set aside for just this purpose - that would cover almost 3 full weeks for all of the 42 million Americans who rely on it. Media is barely covering that fact at all.

Apps that are blue love changing to being a subtly different shade of blue

Saw a tumblr post saying AI is turned on again in a hidden Google Drive menu, but its not a menu you can find on mobile; its only desktop. anyhoo. here it is with a picture and clearer directions Google Drive > MyDrive > (Gear Icon top right) Settings > Manage Apps [switch off Gemini here]

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

I don't think we understand just how bad the decline of the Internet is to knowledge. 3 years ago, I could perform a very basic search in any engine and get an absurd number of relevant links, research articles, etc. Today, I can perform the same search and find absolutely nothing.

Reminder that food banks have the ability to buy food in bulk and can make the most out of the economy of scale so cash (if you have it) is always preferred. But also, they're not going to say no to your pantry items. 💚

Thread reminds me of that quote from Thatcher about the greatest victory she ever had was seeing Tony Blair take on her policies in the Labour party. These days you don't even need to wait to see it happen if you look close enough, today's enemies policies become tomorrows allies slogans so quickly

Jackasses braying about how there need to be fewer (x) depicted in their (y) because they have been interacting with (y) for YEARS and have never ONCE met an (x) who likes it are self-reporting on a cataclysmic scale, and don't even have the decency to realize it.

The glass octopus (Vitreledonella richardi) is a deep sea octopus species that is almost completely transparent and colourless. Only its digestive track, eyes and chromatophores are opaque. Being transparent helps them avoid being seen by predators as they float in the open ocean. #OCTOtober

British English is maddening. They stole all the words and then decided to call everything "pudding" anyway

still thinking about this article today. so many societal ills are caused by people white-washing what actually happens. it's awful to see games do it too. can't wait for cozy domestic violence simulator or cozy kkk simulator

One thing the techbro grindset linkedin culture does which I absolutely despise is glorifying endless crunch as something laudable.

rushing to integrate undercooked, misrepresented, and misunderstood technology into every corner of our lives just so a handful of terrible people could make more money might have been a bad idea
