I couldn't breathe because I was laughing so hard. That bird's an asshole! 😂😂😂😂😂
Best with volume up.

One of the reasons that the willful blindness about AI from people with platforms on the left is shortsighted is that “hope it goes away” doesn’t have a great track record as a strategy for contesting control of new political domains and technologies.

This is so damn cool.

☄️ The sonic “boom” heard from Ohio to Kentucky was from a meteorite traveling 40,000 mph that exploded upon entering Earth’s atmosphere, strong enough to shake homes in several states.

I was asked this once at a Walmart and instead of showing the guy my receipt I took the item to the customer service and returned it because I will not put up with that.

My preorder should be here in the next couple of months! 😀

I was going to ask if that's in F or C but when it gets that low I'm not sure it matters 😏

Thank you - I didn't - but I feel a collective responsibility that my fellow countryfolks did twice - clearly something is not right and it will take all of us to fix whatever it is.

Why Star Trek’s “City On The Edge Of Forever” Is So Important "The City on the Edge of Forever" is considered Star Trek's greatest episode.

Still rolling through Star Trek by Star Date.

Tonight, wrapping up TOS, S1. Remarkable how well City on the Edge of Forever holds up. Harlan Ellison's episode with Joan Collins. Classic Trek.

Wow (not the good wow). Give it a rest, folks 🙄 <waits to appear on all the block lists 😏>

It's hard to make myself go in the other account to repost when there is so little nuance on the topic and if that account is ever positive about AI it gets branded a heretic by the ones who wear pink on Wednesdays. Showing my "practitioner" roots 🙄 (re: the snobbery you mentioned in another post)

I would welcome our new 🦙 overlord

So pleased to see @jennyradcliffe.bsky.social is thinking along the same lines I am about the type of person who might have commissioned the Louvre heist - someone who is upset money can't buy everything (except maybe robbers). Someone who fancies themselves Napoleon & has letters in common 😎

TIL! www.onlinepianist.com/virtual-piano (explaining major keys versus minor keys to my husband - my real-life physical - clearly not played enough...- keyboard is goodness knows where in the house...)

Cartoon showing ancient Egyptian characters. One is giving the god Anubis their literal anatomical heart. The next scene shows Anubis weighing that heart against a feather on a set of old-school scales. A crocodile is grinning in the lower left corner.

I hope this email doesn’t find you I hope this email doesn’t find you—at least, not for a while. I hope you’re far from your inbox. I hope you’re somewhere without Wi-Fi. I hope your heart remembers what it’s like to breathe freely. I hope you’re so lost in today that your phone is face-down in the other room. I hope this email doesn’t find you because you’re resting. I hope your alarm clock is sunlight. I hope your coffee is warm and uninterrupted. I hope this email doesn’t find you because you’re with your people. I hope you’re gathered around a table, or a campfire, or a kitchen island, soaking in stories you’ve heard a hundred times but still love. I hope someone hugs you longer than usual, but not in a weird way. Wherever you are, I hope you feel at home. I hope wonder finds you. I hope joy finds you. I hope love finds you. But this email? No. And if for some reason it does find you, I hope it brings a gentle reminder: it’s okay to slow down and step away. tanner olson | @writtentospeak
