Not the main point of the current JKR discourse, but it still confuses the hell out of me that someone could both be a raging transphobe and write a series where the obviously-most-sympathetic character is Remus Lupin.

Any mutuals who do freelance graphic design? Looking for quotes for a small project.

So they snuck Trump out in a covfefe cart?

And as @scalzi.com foretold, everyone will call theirs Asshole.

“‘In a couple years, the main way we’ll talk with our AIs is with our thoughts,’ Bashkansky says in her blog post. ‘They will not be a super-smart automated intern or coworker that you desperately try to keep up with. They will be a natural, joyful extension of you.’”

At least someone likes my eggplant parmigiana.

The Facebook ad algorithm has very suddenly decided some extremely specific things about me, and I really want to know why it thinks that.

The look of deep betrayal in Pumpkin’s eyes on the way to the vet… (Fortunately his brain cell will probably forget about it in an hour)

I’m sorry if I don’t follow anyone back right now, need to sit at this for a while!

Wondering whether any of my Finnish connections would be willing to send care packages... after 3 weeks back, my supply of lakritski kastike (among other things, a shocking amount of which is licorice-related) is already dwindling dangerously low.

Plum hybrid season is the best fruit season. Yes, I did buy apriums, plumcots, AND plum cherries today.

Love the algorithms that decide that because I've just been looking at the website of the make of the car I recently bought, it's a good idea to advertise to me that I might want to buy one of their cars. I think I'm full up right now, thanks.

The mosquitos have gotten so bad they’re even going after me, who is normally the blood of last resort.

Today's trivial complaint that actually pisses me off: I really like Five Guys, but they always make this fucking mess of your takeout bag where the fries are leaking everywhere and making the bag fall apart from grease. Every time I go, it pisses me off enough to keep me away for months.

I recently bought a plug-in hybrid vehicle. Some states give tax credits or rebates for that. Some states treat them the same, no incentives. My state charges me MORE for it. 😡

Good news, we've firmly pinned down the position of the global quantum capital! Bad news....

Governor JB Pritzker@govpritzker.illinois.gov · 3w ago

Huge news to help Illinois become the global quantum capital. PsiQuantum has signed a $125M agreement with DARPA — helping our state and nation build the world’s first utility-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers.

Yes, I am that geek who is reading the manual of my new car. I mean, not cover to cover, but the last time I bought a car was 2007 and this is much fancier (plug-in hybrid) and I actually want to understand what it can do!

Shoutout to my invite code father @tepickering.bsky.social

Tomorrow is "Shoutout the Person Who Gave You a Bluesky Invite Code" Day. It was a cool time for cool people to drag other cool people here.

We could have had Kamala Harris.

First true vibe-coding experiment, and it is both deeply impressive, and occasionally makes... odd... choices under the hood.

That’s not a word.

Been home less than a week and already lamenting my dwindling Finnish licorice supplies. Next time I need to bring an entire extra suitcase.

As someone who has observed at Parkes, my incomparable Sam Neill role will always be in The Dish. RIP

Well, that was not the aging male Republican senator who went along with Trump despite knowing better with a round chin whose obituary I was expecting to wake up to.
