A close up picture of a rock covered in orange lichen, in the foreground a of a sunny, rocky seaside landscape, a cartoony drawing of Kyungsoo is perched upon the rock. He is holding a bronze spyglass in one hand, pointing at a bird blocking his view with the other. He looks a little frustrated, wearing a white long-sleeve shirt and a pair of dark wash jeans. The bird is standing on the nearest rock, looking away. It’s a gull.

I’ve had the same editor since 1967. Many times he has said to me over the years or asked me, Why would you use a semicolon instead of a colon? And many times over the years I have said to him things like: I will never speak to you again. Forever. Goodbye. That is it. Thank you very much. And I leave. Then I read the piece and I think of his suggestions. I send him a telegram that says, OK, so you’re right. So what? Don’t ever mention this to me again. If you do, I will never speak to you again

Those pushing AI written work fundamentally misunderstand the value and point of writing.
Writing can’t “optimize” for word patterns or “token frequency”—writing is about experimentation, externalizing inward experience, and making connections, writer-to-reader.

Right now where you live healthcare for trans kids is either being made literally illegal by your state or made functionally illegal by the unlawful threats of the federal government and a care infrastructure glad to sacrifice trans kids on the altar of appeasement.

To my non tech normies, PSA: when you share a link, everything after the ? is tracking. Those “query parameters” tell companies exactly how you arrived, what app you clicked, which ad or email sent you, sometimes a unique identifier tied to you. You can delete everything after the question mark.
In a close up picture of a sun-drenched rock covered with moss, a cartoony drawing of Kyungsoo stands on the rock. He is grinning with all his teeth, carrying a large bouquet of Forget-me-nots. He’s wearing a yellow cap, a fluffy sea green jacket, and some light red corduroy trousers. A couple of flowers escaped the bouquet.

me after i get stuck on a scene for two days and realise the problem is further back than i thought:
time to rate some more amounts of money
$414,910: that's a whole bunch of money where i come from
$50: nice and neat. i love it!
$1.06: no offense, but this isn't very much money
$1000: don't bullshit me
$1002.17: yeah, that's what i thought
$614.05: solid
$0: hey, wait a minute!
$18.93: bad salad
Signal has a setting to stop this (Settings > Notifications > Notification Content). It's likely not an issue limited to just Signal, but more fundamental friction between secure chat apps and phones. Very interesting data point when talking about forensics www.404media.co/fbi-extracts...
D20 unlocked a core memory of walking through Kingdoms of the Night on a slow day and being alone for a good chunk of it. rewardingly creepy experience, would go again even if [redacted spoilers]

"I think Jeff Pagglioca has a belief that he’s unimpeachable because he helped bring the championship to Chicago. I don’t think that’s necessarily a unique story in business or sports... The Chicago Sky story right now, more than anything else, is one of stubbornness." - @aghaubner.bsky.social
i like to arrange my mac os dock so that frequently-used, low-memory apps like notes and calculator are right next to an app called Globohension Extracticrash Agnostify Compression Engine Mk. XIX that takes 45 minutes to load, five hours to close, and can only be used outdoors
