Tax these people out of existence.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

A Newly Discovered Recording Lets You Hear Delta Blues Legend Robert Johnson in Stunning Clarity Great swathes of rock music since the nineteen-sixties would never have existed, we're sometimes told, were it not for the recordings of Robert Johnson. Certainly the likes of Keith Richards, Eric Cla...

Holy SHIT someone found the test pressing of Robert Johnson's Cross Road Blues and it is clear as a PIN www.openculture.com/2026/04/reco...

remember when celebrities seemingly randomly started coming out talking about how much they loved NFTs and thought it was super valuable and the future?

I was so annoyed about wrong information on the internet that I decided to make a video about how non-trinary neutrinos move and what quantum tunneling is. Andy Weir may be more bestselling than me but I'm more expert lol 🧪⚛️

Our version of Skynet will nuke hallucinated cities so we don't even get to die quickly.

Lake Sturgeon spawning

After disappearing from the Milwaukee River in the early 20th century due to overfishing and habitat loss, the new discovery of an adult sturgeon 20 miles upstream from Lake Michigan is a milestone in a massive restoration project that’s been underway for 20 years www.wuwm.com/lake-sturgeo...

“Why aren’t college students protesting” stories are almost always wrong (they are protesting), omit crucial context (they were brutally punished for protesting before), and somehow suggest that 19 yr olds have more moral responsibility than elected officials three times their age

I've wanted to be a skiffy writer since I was 13 or so. Don't know if this is perfection in life, but it beats the hell out of a cubicle farm.

As for maturity, well, you're only young once, but you can be immature forever.

Scientists invented a fake disease. AI told people it was real Bixonimania doesn’t exist except in a clutch of obviously bogus academic papers. So why did AI chatbots warn people about this fictional illness?

Scary experiment: create a FAKE disease & upload FAKE studies to preprint servers to support and PRESTO AI thinks real.

Ugh. Good example of how easily AI can warp knowledge base...

Trump post

New U.S. bargaining position has no mention of the strait, or proxies, or ballistic missiles. Basically the president is begging for a return to the Obama nuclear deal but with Iran adding a massive new revenue source.

Scientists having a hard time kicking that habit called 'eugenics'

A 'Dinosaur Smarties' Easter egg.

Erm, they're called palaeontologists, actually.

I don't know how anyone else feels about this, but to me, sharing a screenshot of chatbot output to make a point of some kind is an excellent way to undermine any credibility that might otherwise be granted to you in the context of whatever you're trying to say.

Wilhoit’s law remains undefeated.

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

RIP to a great man. He was the unnamed UN official I was alluding to in an earlier post today.

As a global health scholar, Mr Lewis was a towering figure in my field. The nation should truly mourn this loss.

Diagram of shoulder anatomy, but both the anatomy and the labels are wrong and very obviously AI-generated.

There are so many no-good, terribly bad, wrong, AI-generated anatomical diagrams out there. Here's one I found on the website of an actual clinic in Minnesota. Yikes. Be careful out there.

There are two types of people who know a lot about war - those who glorify it and those who study it to try to have it happen less, like an oncologist studying cancer.

Edgelords and students.

X kept the former, the latter moved over here.

Journalist friends, anyone want to investigate if this great white shark that washed up near-death the next day nearby was the same shark?

Illegal fishing harming a protected species is a better story than “wow look at this cool fish someone caught.”

Alice is preparing for the winds of change.

One thing about these big camp systems is that they inflict a tremendous amount of harm through sheer momentum. When a system is built to be both negligent and punitive, it tends to cause suffering by default.

It's like they read a book about the Gilded Age and thought, wow, we should do all of this again -- tariffs and trade wars, massive corporate power, white supremacy and immigration fights, a creepy sex panic and, of course, unlimited acts of brazen corruption and graft.

Here's another story about the #drone footage showing #orca and #whitesideddolphins cooperating to hunt #salmon. The #dolphins use sonar to help the orca find fish, then eat scraps

Even by cult standards, this is just bonkers.
