"We see a future where intelligence is a utility like electricity or water and people buy it from us on a meter and use it for whatever they want to use it for. The demand that we see for that..." - Sam Altman
These bros are not okay.
Loved this today.
Favorite hybridizers: Ferdinand Cayeux. 'Geneviève Serouge' from 1932. I got this in error in a trade many years ago and fell in love. I have grown it ever since. Sublimely beautiful. A nice color blend that is heavily diamond dusted and sparkles like crazy. Great grower and bloomer too.

"Something ineffable happens when you write down a thought:
You think something you did not know you could or would think and it leads you to another though. The process of writing itself leads to previously unthought thoughts [and] crystallizes half-formulated or unformulated thoughts"
- Lynn Hunt
Aw, look how excited he is
Karl Weick (organizational psychologist, foundational work on sensemaking) had a great refrain: “How can I know what I think until I see what I say?” I often think about this in relation to how AI can interfere w/ thinking by substituting its words for ours. This experimental study offers evidence.
This is Summit. He is a friend to pretty much everyone he meets. But has a special soft spot for the little critters who stop long enough for him to say hello. 13/10 (IG: bakerbarnes)
I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.
State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.

“…if you want a livable city you put the pedestrians and the bicyclists in the central areas. You put them in the best squares and the best roads. That shows the priority and the future view of traffic in the city.” 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
Crowds were sparse too.

a tan long-haired dachshund with incredibly floofy ears sits with his front paws on a window sill and his nose pressed up against the window. he's accompanied by his stuffed squirrel friend. their reflections stares back at them. Stevie the dachshund does not see the irony in watching for squirrels with his squirrel friend. he's too busy being locked in on the happenings outside his window.
This is Stevie. He's on squirrel watch. His stuffed friend is also a squirrel, but he's one of the good ones. 14/10 (IG: longdogstevie)
Just walked by a colleague's classroom after my class finished and he was talking about Elvis, getting blank stares and so he had to ask "Does anyone know who Elvis Presley is?"
It's rough out here on these teaching streets.
I can't compete with this.
#OtD 9 Mar 1914 women battled police in Glasgow during Emmeline Pankhurst's speaking tour of Scotland. They used jiu-jitsu and barbed wire concealed in flower bouquets, and one woman fired blanks from a revolver stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1092...
Delightfully savage take. #Andrew #SussexSquad
Thanks! I wondered about the cracking, too, although the recipe calls for either kind. Perhaps HEB will move eastwards.
I have HEB, so I can get fresh corn or flour tortillas (yes, it is a blessing). Which do you recommend? These look insanely good, and I almost never want to cook at night anymore.
Reddit screenshot from Glasgow thread. Bright flames rising out the side of a Victorian building.
Video screenshot from Reddit. Building is now a shell with flames visible in every window.
The roof has collapsed embers rise into the night sky.
The fire at Glasgow central station is utterly devastating. Shops, homes and our transport link to England are being wiped out.
I am amazed by the limited news coverage.
Drawing of Tolkien characters. Arwen in the center is holding an open Red Book of Westmarch. She is surrounded by Goldberry, Galadriel, Rosie Cotton, and Eowyn

My family farmed in the Texas Panhandle during the Dust Bowl.
They used to have to run inside and seal their windows when they saw the dust storms coming and breathe through wet rags inside. You could get lost from barn to house in a bad one and had to strain sand out of the milk you’d fetched.
It me. 💙📚
omg, nailed
THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
Photo of a beach in the Winter. Fresh white snow with dunes off to the right leads to sand and water with a bright blue sky and a few white clouds. A haiku on the photo reads… Winter beach quiets the Soul soothes the senses —Kim Campbell, Books, Butterflies, & Being Photo by Kim Campbell

I was thinking about doing a rewatch soon. Loved it.
And Ingrid Bergman has never been more beautiful. I’m in awe of her clothing too. Somehow she fit all those lovely dresses and hats into a suitcase while on the run across Europe. Goals. 👗👒
I don't know how to explain this but Casablanca is a movie for adults.
There are lots of movies built on an element of fantasy about being young or brave or defying the odds.
Casablanca is not that. Everyone in that movie has back pain and they have all just accepted it.
