A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is about to go on an angry rant, as Green raises his tail to halt him. Blue: And don't get me started on- Green: Wait! Before you start... Blue frowns at Green as Green looks at him calmly. Green: Do you want solutions, or do you just want to complain? Blue: Can I just complain? Blue looks surprised as Green looks over his shoulder. Green: Sure, but let me make myself some popcorn first. As Green leaves, Blue looks stunned towards the direction that he left. Blue: I may do some warm-up screams while I wait. Green, already off-screen: Just don't start without me!

Happy Trans Day of Visibility!!

So the AI company who stole all of of books and now has to pay us what is really a small amount of money went about ti by AI coding the backend of their claim system, which scraped up data in clumps and spits out new numbers all the time because...it is AI coded. Anthropic: Nailing It.

"The IOC already tried mandatory sex testing. For decades, every female Olympic athlete was screened. In all those years, it never caught a single person deliberately misrepresenting their sex. What it did was destroy the careers & lives of women with intersex conditions they didn’t know they had."

The actual reality of what’s going on with NASA is a real trip when juxtaposed with what a hit the NASA-saturated “Project Hail Mary” film seems to be.

I wonder how many people who enjoyed the film are aware of just how much this admin has shanked all the cool real-world research it featured.

Frank Herbert's Dune

I'm constantly trying (/failing) to get this point across.

If you're a trained expert in a field, then it may be worthwhile to question the scientific consensus of your peers.

If you're not, the scientific consensus is absolutely the best you can do and it's arbitrary foolishness to disregard it.

in general it is very strange for anyone — even gutter racists — to imagine the mediterranean world as somehow looking like northern europe.

you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review

wikipedia turns 25 today! the last unenshittified major website! backbone of online info! triumph of humanity! powered by urge of unpaid randos to correct each other! somehow mostly reliable! "good thing wikipedia works in practice, because it sure doesn't work in theory" - old wiki adage

i know writers who use subtext and they're cowards moment

"megachurches are shen yun for white people" is an incredible and damning true statement

White men are 30% of the US and if they look around the room and see it’s less than 90% white men they think it’s affirmative action.

Does Firefox not realize who their user base is?

It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser " Just like Google plan with Chrome, Mozilla aren't sitting still on expanding Firefox into something resembling a web browser but with more AI.

As said of old:

not to put too fine a point on it but every guy doing the “we need to reboot masculinity!!!” schtick has fewer masculine virtues than I do and I’m nonbinary

For comparison, every robotic mission NASA has ever sent in its history, from the dawn of the Space Age 65 years ago to today, from Mercury to Pluto and beyond, has cost less than $40B.

I know which one has done more for humankind and which one should be dismantled.

Panel 1: A happy brain with sparkles in its eyes is throwing up its hands and yelling "I LOVE DOPAMINE!!!!!" Panel 2: The brain is happily running towards a door labeled "social media". Panel 3: A metal gate is abruptly descends from the top of the door, shutting it and blocking the path, bringing the brain's run to a screeching halt. Panel 4: The brain, now stressed and with clenched teeth, is running towards a different door labeled "video games". Panel 5: This door too, shuts in front of the brain, bringing its run to a screeching halt. Panel 6: Behind the brain, Shen shows up, holding a remote with a red button that he's been seemingly using to control the doors. He has a shadow over his eyes and an overall very serious expression. The brain, in the foreground, is sweating bullets. Panel 7: A closeup of Shen's hand, pointing towards something seemingly far off to the side. Panel 8: His hand and the brain (still sweating) bookmark the frame as it's revealed that what Shen is pointing at is a very far away door. Panel 9: A closer view of the door reveals that it is labeled "actual life goals". Panel 10: The brain has his face scrunched up in a crying expression, still shaking and sweating, saying "ouuuugh I-I hate you ouuuuughhh you're so mean to me..."

COMING SOON: AI + Guy™

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

Friendly reminder that dishwashers made after 1995 or so are so water and energy efficient that even if you ran them twice fully loaded it would still use less water than handwashing the same load.

So many "green" things feel like sacrifices. Dishwashers are not one of them.

Visualized here. Hot tip for journalists: the real question isn’t why Wilders lost, but why the far right has consolidated — despite Wilders's ineffectiveness in government.

Updating my LEGO White House

This absolutely is Jeff Bezos’s fault. I feel sorry for the excellent journalists and other staff caught up in his mismanagement, but this is his doing. And it will only lead to the Post doing even worse, which will then — almost inevitably — lead to more layoffs.
