"People used to be excited about tech, now they dread what data you're going to steal next, they dread what violation of privacy or the environment will turn up next."
this whole missive will make you want to stand on your desk and yell "O CAPTAIN, MY CAPTAIN!," but that bit really got me good
The morally correct answer to the trolley problem is to design better safety into the public transport infrastructure so that people are not getting trapped on the tracks in such high numbers.
If you put waterfalls in your game and there are no caves behind any of them, your game is instantly worse than it could have been
I don't make the rules
Fortune favours the prepared. Unexpected TOOF has been replaced with a sticker, ä Sacajawea gold dollar, and a Hot Wheels car.
Note that I disliked Carolyn Bessette Kennedy a lot, when she was alive, because I disliked her bland and boring look which was sold to use as a fashion icon. But just because I didn't want to look like her, doesn't mean she deserves this posthumous dragging. Nor does Daryl Hannah, who's still alive
I just finished Piranesi by Susanna Clarke and that book, its vision of humanity, of identity, of memory, of magic, of portals, is so GOOD. It's a worldview in which goodness is an active agent in the world because good people choose to do good. Really extraordinary. Just wonderful.
‘Hey’ came before ‘hi,’ and ‘hi' came before ‘hello.’
‘Hi’ is most likely a variant of ‘hey.’
‘Hello’ is not related to either.
Goodbye.
I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...
My mom nearly died from polio and spent several years of childhood bedbound, to the point where more than 7 decades later she still carries trauma from it. Fuck off with this fraud talk. Give me all the vaccines you have.
I keep being disappointed when I have to use a public restroom and I realise there is no bidet attachment.
Europe did this to me. I installed one at home! (Well my husband did.)

From the looks of it, this seat went from R+13 in 2024 to D+4?

👀 ICE deported two U.S. citizen children with their mother to Guatemala, even though she had apparently elected to leave them with their grandmother in Florida.
The govt is now arranging their return under court order: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Hrm.
Like…is it like a barium shake?
I listened to like six Gorillaz songs in a row before I remembered why I was.
Did you know they make frozen chocolate covered banana slices you can just buy in the store? Like in a resealable bag, and everything.
Well now you do.
I think medical maybe or some kind of weaponry.
theorizing chuck tingle identities as a little treat
Chuck Tingle is the only identity of Chuck Tingle I need to know about.
Chuck Tingle is our Lady Whistledown!
By which I mean a Super Sekrit Writer whose identity folks love to speculate about in between anticipated writing drops.
I think the boats thing was “leaked” bc the real folks don’t want the glitter thing known.
Because nobody would be surprised or upset abt glitter in boat paint. Nobody. It’s in car paint, why couldn’t it be in boat paint.
But the key clue is surprise & them not wanting it known.

Sun Tzu (D-NY) - “When your enemy is making a mistake, fix it for him at great cost to yourself.”
This and “what is the real glitter use nobody knows,” are my two favourite Roman Empires that don’t hurt people afaik.
I don’t believe the boats thing. A) people floated that during the initial guesses B) at that time it didn’t match the things they hinted c) I think somebody got really itchy
While “Chris Pine is secretly Chuck Tingle” I don’t think that’s the case for reasons. But I think the fashion vibe was similar.
