And do your part by refraining from "smell-this activism."

"Did you see this awful thing this awful man said? Here, look. Isn't it awful? Isn't he awful?"

...Why are you doing that?

Why are you the free street team for the worst people online? Why are you signal-boosting misery?

Don't do that.

Atlanta. Top three followed a moto taking the wrong turn in the last mile, fourth went straight and won it.

Race organizers are promising to make those three runners whole, but TBD. (They’ll have missed out on prize money, contractual bonuses, and spots in championship races.)

Disability accommodations are a rare thing that actually trickles down. You like curb cutouts? Auto-opening doors? Jar openers? Ramps? Hand rails? YOU’RE WELCOME

Even as an abled person you use disability accommodations every single day.

Supporting accommodations actually helps everyone.

honest to God that might be what actually gets some movement from Congress

so deeply dystopian to catch myself going "maybe the Destroying the Environment caucus can get through to the Senseless War caucus" but here we are

I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.

"you need to learn how to use gAI or you'll get left behind!"

counterpoint!

the absolute fastest way to render yourself unemployable is to build your skillset around a tool that does your thinking for you, that everyone has access to, and that one company can change or take away at any time

very aspect of life in this country is designed so that people do not form bonds or relationships with other people, it's wild to watch in action. Never seen divide and conquer applied this rigorously to a domestic population that is not under foreign occupation

Would love to see some systematic testing of this, but I would hypothesize that β€œAI is driving up your electric bill” works better than any other argument against it for persuasion, including β€œit’s going to take your job” and β€œit’s hurting the environment”

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.

And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

My experience as a year-round outdoor runner (and dog owner) in greater Boston this winter taught me one thing:

Virtually every city and town did not shovel out intermediary pedestrian islands. Those tiny, critical bits of infrastructure that keep us safe crossing extra-wide streets: all untouched

This is not just cursed, its monstrous. The digital resurrection of a historian who died in January of this year, all so Grammarly can get some more clicks and engagement from students and/or scholars and/or others.

It feels so wrong on so many levels, these ghosts enslaved to AI forever

As it is with our clothing, so it is with our names. We can have trans rights, bodily autonomy, gender nonconformity, and freedom of expression, or we can have none of these things.

There’s no third option.

"This is not about consolidation" says the guy literally consolidating streaming platforms. The only thing this guy is reinventing is the Hollywood studio monopolies from the early 20th century.

The 2026 Chevy Equinox EV has 17.7-inches of driver touch screen distraction!

How many crashes and deaths will this cause?
