Oh my god the person greeting me as I walked into this Ace Hardware sounded just like that lady doing the Abercrombie-in-2000 parody videos.

"Hiiw'comiiin"

Btw this is why this guy shouldn't run for president (among other things). The machine will grind the useful things out.

Overheard this cold evening in Chicago:

"Hoodie. Cargo short. Shoes.

Malört style."

Also absolutely love the fact that our group, fresh from seeing Sunn O))) and debriefing after all that fog and noise, was approached by a tall 20-something to ask if we had watched the Coachella streams, and to let her know what our thoughts were

They got served lobster the night before the start of the war, I heard

AI Use Appears to Have a "Boiling Frog" Effect on Human Cognition, New Study Warns A new study claims to offer the first causal link between AI dependency and cognitive erosion. Researchers warn of long-term implications.

NEW: A new pre-print study offers the first causal evidence that outsourcing reasoning tasks to AI can rapidly erode users' independent performance AND their will to persist despite difficulty.

Why does Trump keep referring to Iranian enriched uranium as "dust"?

I only just realized that my confusion when people around me get excited about James Blake's music stemmed from the fact that I was confusing him with James Blunt.

Waiting for the supercut of the NASA video commentary saying "erection" of the front porch platform

I feel like I will be the n+1th person to tag @raaleh.bsky.social with the news I'm sure he was expecting about Delve

A doctor writing next to a stuffed toy a kid has brought in

The Finnish news photo prizes for the year were announced today. This isn't one of the winners but depicts a medical student writing care instructions for the boy's toy bunny at a day designed to lessen kids' fears about doctors and to train junior doctors on approaching kids. I just thought it cute

Haw haw

Yeah pretty good. Less "post"/"sludge" than I was expecting. Interesting mix where the bass is prominent.

Yeah, but that's a negative connotation to me. Like, powerful, yes, but also strapped in to drudgery

Today's NYT Connections puzzle had a word for "muscular" that I'd never seen written down. I always thought it was "yolked" like lots of eggs.

Yeah must be from that conversation!

When you get on your way from the bar and load up the music player to downloaded albums and go "huh where did I get recommended a band called Acceptance? Oh well, here goes"

"American Standard" is the region 1 "Armitage Shanks" change my mind

Oh, Amtrak scheduling more trains than I had dared to hope!

And I bet there's like 2 departures a day rather than one every 90 minutes

Were they ever...?

unsurprisingly, this is just AWS shitting the bed again

maybe letting one company host the whole internet isn't a great idea

Bicyclist dead, woman critical after SW Side hit-and-run Police are searching for the driver responsible for a hit-and-run crash that left a bicyclist dead and a 22-year-oild woman critically injured early Sunday in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood on the c…

When people say the Southwest Side doesn't need biking infrastructure, we need to think about the young people dying while riding their bikes on these roads. 18 years old. Devastating for this family and community.

Relationship with Trump may be beyond repair, Keir Starmer told PM gets widespread backing after president’s mocking impersonation takes US-UK relationship to new low

I genuinely would want to play one of those multiplayer strategy games like Neptune's Pride or whatever and just play it with this kind of jester energy to see how others react

“When Neil Armstrong first set foot on the moon, he and all the space scientists were puzzled by an unidentifiable white object. I knew immediately what it was. That was a home run ball hit off me in 1937 by Jimmie Foxx.” – Lefty Gomez
