One thing I admire about Red-winged Blackbirds--they really belt it out. This guy is putting everything into his song. Spotted along Central Park's Harlem Meer. 🎶🎶🎶 #Blackbirds #CentralPark #birding

Omg what???

Yes I’d like to see them be held to some accountability as in having their business destroyed by lawsuits.

A porcupine perched on a tree trunk that has been partially uprooted by the wind, so it’s nearly horizontal

You may need a thing about now that isn’t awful. Here. Have a porcupine in a tree that I spotted near the St Lawrence River. I talked to them for a while and told them they were cool. I hope they got the vibe.

Grammarly Is Facing a Class Action Lawsuit Over Its AI ‘Expert Review’ Feature The feature, which Grammarly shut down Wednesday, presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academics—without their consent.

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.

Fuckin’ heroes

Elizabeth Sampat @twoscooters Follow I don't wish we could abolish gender, I just wish it were less an identity and more of a hobby. So you'd get people who are like "Oh yeah, l'm a woman when I have the time," or "I'm a man but I'm not very good at it yet" along with the CrossFit gender types who are SUPER INTO IT

A friend just saw this in the wild and you know what? I stand by it

This morning on Exmoor …

Banging little 🧵

I love foxes and hate AI so this was an easy share for me.

“Why do you want to shit on entire swathes of human endeavor and wreck the planet while you’re doing it? Why are you so determined to be awful and amoral? Everything about your priorities is messed up, and you should all be heartily ashamed, abashed and embarrassed.”

IKR?? 😆

I hate this for you. This has definitely become a bigger issue for me since menopause.

Literally cackled with laughter multiple times.

A purple mug with a texture pattern of black crows in flight.

Murder of crows mug. Hand-built. Stoneware. One of a kind. Just listed. Surly.etsy.com

we actually keep trying to convince crows to work for us by making little machines they can drop trash in in exchange for treats. but the crows reliably figure out some way to cheat the machine and prefer to do that so it never works out. i love that for them

A job offering by Giant Freaking Robot to hire a freelance writer who hates Starfleet Academy to write hate articles about the show

Don't ever take this site or anything it publishes seriously. It is actively looking to hire people who hate Starfleet Academy to write about it.

As of 8 pm on 10.3.2026, this is live on LinkedIn.

Ask me again why I think the anti-SFA sentiment is manufactured.

Thank you! *mops brow dramatically*

Thank you! Gah. I know that feeling well! Hopefully you're in the homestretch now!

Thank you! I'm expressing that gif internally even as I flop backward into the nearest chair. 😆

a man in a suit is standing next to a child in a hospital bed and says there , there . Alt: Jack from 30 Rock is stroking Liz Lemon on the back with a broom as she cries next to a toilet. The words "there there" are beneath her.

I know this feeling too well.

But given the rising costs of computers, don't.

It will be okay in the end.

I finally, after over a year of working on this draft, typed the words "the end."

It's just a 1st draft. It's by no means polished and ready to publish.

But by God, it feels good to have reached this point. Like crawling mud and wire on an obstacle course to finally cross the finish line.

Good words of warning here. AI models are generally designed to read and incorporate (and, in a sense, believe) virtually everything they find online, with very few guardrails. The information can get divorced from its original source, context, & rebuttals or retractions. That's a really big problem

Same. And the dissonance is like walking through a park with velociraptors snatching people left and right while coworkers ask you what you're having for lunch today.

You start wondering why no one else sees the velociraptors and if you're just crazy and then you hear another scream.

Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are ‘just circling back’ to see if we can ‘move the needle’ on ‘key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.

“Girls Just Want to Have Fun” peaks at #2 today in ‘84

“We got every racial group of girl—mixed, Spanish, white, black, Asian,” said Lauper, “so that every little girl who looked at that video would .. understand that every young woman, older woman, every person is entitled to a joyful experience.”
