As you use AI to simplify easy yet mundane tasks, like writing emails, you get increasingly dependent on it.

You get lazy, less skilled, use your brain less, and (you may not want to hear this) get stupider as a result.

Don’t let them take away your ability to think. Stop using it. Now.

I think I played this scene in Werewolf: The Apocalypse in, like, 2002.

Just posted my second video! It's about one of the oldest, if not THE oldest, Indo-European folktales, so it kinda... got long. And I still haven't figured out decent lighting on my nonexistent budget for this endeavor.
Anyway! Folktales! Yarn! Tea! Snarky commentary! Go watch (pretty please)!

If you were being mad that the kid was getting a C because they never turned in homework (do... do they do homework in preschool?) that'd be unreasonable. But being mad that the place that is supposed to look after your kid while they're in their care doesn't know where the kid is? Very reasonable!

Some parents are too helicopter and coddle their kids and get angry when the kids experience consequences.

Still isn't an excuse.

This should be completely uncontroversial.
And yet.

There are objectives beyond distract from the Epstein files and mage Teump/Hegseth feel big and manly? Wow!

Dang, didn't it used to be $100?

Whyyyyy

The thing with being a mystery fan is that after a while you start to think how many of these murders etc. just would never have happened if there was a good social safety net, most especially a well-funded, well-staffed, and well-run child and family services system that included therapy services.

Please tell me these are dogs and not humans.

We still have snow here, but soon. Sooooooon.

I wonder how long it was in circulation before then.

I'm sorry, did you expect him to be competent at anything that you can remotely discuss in polite company?

What a sweet face! I wanna smoosh it and feed her bits of chicken.

I swear it is actually a sweet book! It has some sad and scary bits, but it is sweet and hopeful overall.

Here's some cool biomedical news to brighten your evening.

I am pretty sure that the only way a ferret would lie nice and quiet around your neck is if it were asleep. Also this reminds me about ferret legging, which is up there with cheese rolling for "only a drunk person could have invented this sport".

I wonder how you would dilute a human. It probably involves drinking.

Even as a cynical scholar of rape culture, I'm shocked that this isn't the headline story on domestic politics everywhere right now. It's just an unfathomable abuse of power, in clear violation of the law.

Mississippi has enough problems. They don't need any more.

Must read: xAI is poisoning Mississippi, captured via thermal imaging.

Tonight is definitely a pizza, Doctor Who, and playing with yarn night.

something that could snap this sort of purely speculative trading detached from actual material conditions might be "they've got thousands of mines in the strait all the oil tankers have to use"

There's a book my Nana had about a pigeon that got drafted into war and then still found its way home... gotta go dig through my book fort/hoard later. I think you'd like it, even though it's pretty old (old enough that "gay" in the title means pretty or joyful)

I’d just like to point out that it’s the *male* loneliness epidemic they’re always yammering on about, and hyperindividualized drinks are so female-coded they’re called “girly drinks”

like pick a hill, man. you know what to do after that

Thank you @bsky.app Catch Up for putting this in front of me. 🙄😂

Have you looked at the fancy pigeons?
