Being in Mission Control must be like being the sober one watching your mates experience an amazing mushroom trip. “Man you can see everything is all connected we’re all one” “sure, jay’

Digital sketch of Sherlock Holmes as seen in the game The Beekeeper's Picnic - older, retired, wearing a cream cardigan and dark colored trousers and tie, smoking his pipe while he reads a book on a bench peacefully. His straw hat is deposited next to him. He's wearing round glasses. He looks peaceful.

I think everyone should go play the Beekeeper's Picnic v///v

The Tesla Influencers Leaving the ‘Cult’ The EV manufacturer is supported by a robust online community. But Elon Musk’s politics and overblown hype about Full Self-Driving are turning some loyalists away.

News outlets are putting their @secondmentions.bsky.social in the headlines now to force people to click into the story to find out which "niche yellow powder" they mean

we're doing this community challenge on our discord server and the intention was that our players post a lot about our game on bsky but I think I'll need some of you to help out here by following the studio account 😇 @thoglistudios.com

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.

1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish.

2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

[update] Completed: The scheduled maintenance has been completed.

The degree of self-centeredness that it takes to
a) have personal beef with an entire species of bird because you think it sings too loud
AND
b) think this means you should be able to dictate where and what that bird eats
AFTER
c) you put up the fing bird feeder to attract birds in the first place

You are ABSOLUTELY NOT going to regret listening to this bird:

*If a child died in a freebirth, Saldaya also taught her students not to “kneejerk” call 911: “Dead is dead.” If grieving families chose to illegally bury their children on their land, Saldaya passed on advice once given to her by an underground midwife: “Dig a little deeper.”*

When parents are appropriately prosecuted for not providing 21st-century medical care to children, including infants, we'll see changes.

So (baseless prediction, do not panic yet) it'll be enabled silently after about a year and start deleting your shit because it thinks it's helping. Yaaay

Was at car dealership today. Noticed something funny. The normal cars had door poppers and overwhelming screens. The $120,000 car had physical door handles and tons of buttons.

May be obvious but I speculated years ago this would happen. Electronics cheaper than craftsmanship, because it is.

Do your funders know you're hiring 'someone keen on AI' to run the shop?

be fair, I don't have a ladder

I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.

Minority representation on TV causes outrage There has been widespread support for prominent Reform MP Sarah Pochin after she complained about the over-representation of minorities on television. Said one angry viewer, "She's right. Every time you turn on the telly there's another Reform MP being interviewed by Laura Kuenssberg." She added, "I respect their way of life and their strange customs, but Reform MPs comprise only 0.7 percent of the House of Commons. Yet Nigel Farage is on Question Time more than Fiona Bruce." "I'm not prejudiced. Some of my best friends are swivel-eyed loons, but enough is enough. There are too many people with angry red faces on television.”

Gotta love Private Eye.
Always cuts through the crap.

AT LAST SOME GOOD NEWS

Basil Rathbone standing on some brick steps outside of his home. He's wearing an overcoat that comes down below his knee. He's also wearing what appears to be gray trousers and black dress shoes.

A Suitsupply model wears a navy "overcoat," which barely reaches mid-thigh. He pairs it with a navy turtleneck, gray pleated trousers, and black shoes.

The effect of car dependency: in 1940, Basil Rathbone was photographed wearing an overcoat outside his home. As more men relied on cars, overcoats became shorter to accommodate drivers. Today, the right is marketed as an "overcoat," even if it would've been considered more sport coat length in 1940.

This isn't how birding is supposed to work!

Everyone say hello to Tupi, a lil’ capybara baby at the San Antonio Zoo. 🥹

Incredibly embarrassing admission

“The books would have all looked new,” I scream impotently at another costume drama.

The thing that's so difficult in fighting pseudoscience is that its followers fundamentally don't believe in expertise.

Exceptional people? Sure. The naturally gifted? of course.

But I've talked to people face-to-face who simply don't believe people can get better at things.

Isn't it, uh, your job to listen to your constituents yourself?

The shitty first few drafts of anything (fiction, essay, business plan, etc) are how you figure out what the fuck you actually mean and want to communicate.

Outsourcing that to ai might make your 1st surface level idea look nice, but it's like putting frosting onto a half baked cake

The Beekeeper's Picnic by @jabbage.bsky.social is just the most wonderful thing. It's a Sherlock Holmes love story, set in his retirement village of Fulworth, and it's so utterly heartwarming. There's an incredible cast, and I adore everything about it!
