Cartoon titled "know the work rules".

The first panel, labeled "appropriate" depicts Garfield the cat in a business suit leaning around the edge of a cubicle and pointing to a woman at her desk while saying, "coffee lasagna Mondays am I right?" to which the woman responds, hands clasped together, "awww you're so funny"

The second panel, labeled "inappropriate", depicts a far side cow leaning around the edge of the same cubicle and speaking with a word bubble which contains only the shapes of the 4 cow tools.  The woman fearfully picks up the 
Phone and says, "hello , complaint department??!"

This is a strong contender for β€œok boomer” style universality whenever a man laments a trend because he can’t comprehend a woman’s experience

Is there a worse example of an American actor in a big budget period piece just straight up refusing to even try the accent than Kevin Costner in "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves"

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

Time to Fight: H.R. 7661 Call To Action

πŸ†• Never Post! News Post: On the Impending Silicon Goods Shortage When the chips are down...

Oh, hi! There's a new @neverpo.st today, in which I talk with @ripefly.bsky.social of @rogue.site and @rorycarroll.bsky.social of @alloymag.bsky.social about the impending chip shortage, and *Arrested Development Newscaster Voice* what that means for your weekend.

This was a great conversation that really drives home just how far-reaching the effects of AI data centers are. Thanks to @mikerugnetta.com, @neverpo.st, and @rorycj.bsky.social for a fun (and bleak) chipchat.

re: hockey, Muhammad Ali, one of the greatest boxers ever to live, gave up three years in the prime of his life β€” years in which his fighting would have been at peak; actual money incalculable β€” rather than fight in an unjust war, so noping out on grandpa’s burger bash should be an easy choice

it took an expensive, coordinated effort & a lot of people saying β€œthis doesn’t matter” to get from a bathroom ban costing one state $400 million & a gubernatorial race to β€œtrans people must turn in their documents which become invalid in a few hours or face fines & potential jail time” in 10 years.

Chapter 1 of Moby Dick, page 1 

The phrase β€˜Call me Ishmael’, the first sentence of the book, is highlighted in blue, with careful highlighting on the very big C at the start. Above this, written in ballpoint pen β€˜His name’

I understand why chatbot cheating happens but every time I read about it I want to gently remind everyone that the point of schoolwork is not for the submission to exist. Teachers are not just greedy for more essays or solved equations. The point is to do the work WITH YOUR OWN BRAIN, FOR LEARNING.
