Gotta love a sport where two teammates can unwittingly wipe each other out during the quarter-finals (true story) (happened this morning)

Snowboard cross is awesome. More racing sports should have light obstacles and 4 people going through them concurrently with no lanes or anything!

Truly the most unrealistic thing about Heated Rivalry is how Shane and Ilya still had their shoes on at Shane's parents' cottage
Sneakers on? Indoors?? Sitting around the dinner table??? Absolutely not

When people celebrate the individual genius of folks in science, they should also
mourn the collective loss of genius of folks who were actively discouraged or disadvantaged from a career in science because of the same person(s)

The comparison (metaphor? simile?) in the second-to-last paragraph is *chef's kiss*

No Good Art Comes From Greed | Defector The packages arrived square and thin and carefully wrapped on Saturday afternoon. There were three of them, but only one was mine. If I could have rejected my package, sent it back from whence it came...

The state of online media is such a bummer, I sometimes think: who cares? Then, I read something so smart and so funny and so uniquely the product of this compromised but generative space, that I remember: I care!
This, by @mckinneykelsey.bsky.social, is a tour de force. defector.com/taylor-swift...

A split screen of a woman and a man talking. The top is the woman (Tina Fey as Liz Lemon) saying β€œWhat a week, huh?”. The bottom is the man (Alec Baldwin as Jack Donaghy) replying β€œLemon, it’s Wednesday.”

Guardian article. Drawing of young people looking scornfully at a trio of women taking a selfie. Text reads Cringe! How millennials became uncool
They are mocked by gen Z for everything from their trainer socks to their mom jeans and selfie technique. A maligned millennial asks: how did we get here?

Teens & 20-somethings think 30-40 year olds are uncool? Wow this is a brand new phenomenon.

Studie: Bedingungsloses Grundeinkommen macht zufrieden und mental gesund | MDR.DE Das bedingungslose Grundeinkommen – ohne reduzierte Arbeitszeit – steigert Zufriedenheit und mentale Gesundheit. Das geht aus der ersten Langzeitstudie zum Grundeinkommen hervor.

The results from Germany's big 3-year UBI experiment are out!

122 people got €1200/mo for 3 years. All were age 21-40 and employed with incomes between €1100/mo to €2600/mo

They were happier, healthier, saved more, gave more, enjoyed more social time, and DID NOT WORK LESS than the control group.

Need more middlebrow fiction goddamnit. Some of us are too cultured for total genre slop, and not cultured enough for some MFA’s exploration of the intersectionality of grief! Give me something written at an adult reading level with emotional depth that also has a murder or a vampire or some shit!

I just witnessed a metro beep? Didn't know they could do that

Also: there is something deeply uncanny about seeing a completely empty train just keep on going through a station without stopping

At the local textile college; I had a nice time going around the different looms, seeing what interesting colours/materials people used for their vertical threads

Cleopatra lived closer in time to 'yeet' being in the dictionary than to the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

Love it when I see other people (in this case: on a plane) watch a 20 year old show I've already watched (itc: LOST) and I have a vague idea of where they are in the story (itc: season 1, because they haven't found The Hatch yet and it's a Charlie backstory episode and [spoilers] is still alive)

Yes. I recently listened to researcher explain that they’d done a study with Gen AI to see how many *more* new creative ideas teams would generate using it alongside normal methods.

The answer was negative. Fewer new ideas. Because people stopped thinking, and the AI just spat out unoriginal slop.

If you’re using generative AI to be an artist, consider the possibility that you might not actually want to be an artist.
