[Exit Murderer.]

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

is it just me or is it somewhat unnerving that the worst and dumbest people on earth are currently building an actual real life skynet

Television pioneer Fred Rogers, gone 23 years ago today.

His acceptance speech for the Lifetime Achievement Emmy Award is always worth a watch.

#RIP 💔

He will steal, sir, an egg out of a cloister. For rapes and ravishments he parallels Nessus. He professes not keeping of oaths; in breaking ’em he is stronger than Hercules. He will lie, sir, with such volubility, that you would think truth were a fool.

Masterful Troll, TCM.

I‘ve been a hockey fan most of my life. Players have very little difficulty taking it to fans if they become obnoxious. Can’t even imagine what they‘d do in this case.

Pope Leo tells priests not to use AI to write homilies or seek likes on TikTok "To give a true homily is to share faith," and artificial intelligence "will never be able to share faith," the pope said.

“Pope Leo XIV has urged priests to not to use artificial intelligence to write their homilies or to seek ‘likes’ on social media platforms like TikTok.”

“‘To give a true homily is to share faith,’ and artificial intelligence ‘will never be able to share faith,’ the pope added.”

All joking aside, I want to apologize to our northern neighbors.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIXED FEELINGS?

@nathithehumbleguy on threads: Ladies if you're always walking around with earphones or headphones on whether jogging or at the mall don't be surprised if no one approaches you. Most guys won't ask you to take them off just to start a conversation. Sometimes you might be blocking more than just the noise

he’s so close to getting it

When I first heard about Survivor, all I could think of was The Running Man (the novella and OG Richard Dawson movie)

there is one striking parallel, though. note the phrase "we must do something useful with AI" -- like NFTs, LLMs are a solution looking for a problem. real progress identifies a need and then meets it, not the other way around.

Bad ass Leila Edwards, in a blue USA jersey holds a hockey stick. A quote from Laila Edwards about leaving a legacy and inspiring young Black girls is displayed beside her.

A Black woman won an Olympic gold medal today! Her name is Laila Edwards. She's is the first Black woman to win an Olympic hockey gold medal in Team USA history. 👏🖤

I thought this was bad until I saw that there was a video which was SO MUCH WORSE

Writing is thinking.

It's not some marginal boring task you can skip. It's the heart of it.

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.

His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.

Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

Wow.

REMEMBER: All the "Don't use em-dashes" "don't use rule of three" advice because it makes your writing "look like AI" is because they stole actual writers work, and their "predict the next thing" stuff just simulates what WE FUCKING DO. Keep writing well. Use every style and trick you have. Fuck AI.

I'm not changing the way I write for the sake of weak thinkers. I don't care

Scientists create ‘Superwood’ that’s stronger than steel | CNN A US company has engineered a new type of wood that it says has up to 10 times the strength-to-weight ratio of steel, while also being up to six times lighter.

www.cnn.com/science/supe...

I think it's pretty exciting that we've invented wood that's multiple times stronger, more durable, fire and bug resistant, and can be made from bamboo, the fastest growing terrestrial plant on Earth.

I‘m an -ie person, myself.

Dear journalists: carbon dioxide is correctly written as CO₂

It is not:
C0₂
CO²
Co or Co₂ (Co is cobalt)
C02 or C0² (please, make it stop)

CO2 is just, barely, acceptable

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

Happy birthday to one of my favourite haters, Charles Darwin

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

Every Super Bowl ad was just “HEY REMEMBER THIS SHIT? HUH? YOU REMEMBER THE POP CULTURE YOU CONSUMED THAT ONE TIME IN YOUR LIFE WHEN NOT ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING FUCKING SUCKED. REMEMBER THAT?? brought to you by a company causing your electric bill to increase 287%”
