Why aren’t grapes berries? Why are these blueberries as big as grapes? Why won’t anyone answer my questions?
Josh gave me a pep talk in his newsletter, and it’s great advice. Thanks, Josh!
Josh Gondelman@joshgondelman.bsky.social · 2d agoThis week's newsletter is about how people want art that their brain can chew on, at least a little bit, and also how not all hard feelings are good (but some really are)!
I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses
The lyrics to any Rammstein song are easier to understand and sing along to than any Pearl Jam song, even if, like me, you only speak and comprehend English.

Catherina Gioino@catgioino.bsky.social · last wk.I wrote about how much Americans wagered on sports betting in 2025 and how it’s more than they spent on movies, art, museums and music combined. Read my article @fortunemagazine.bsky.social fortune.com/2026/07/26/g...
The @ncte.org is a dead organization as far as I'm concerned. Worthless to those in higher ed and writing.
One of the charms of The Fifth Elements (1997) is its commitment to anti-exposition. I've seen it half a dozen times and I still have no idea what or who the many antagonists are, no real sense of the broader political and social context. Shit just happens and it looks cool as hell. Great movie.
The only thing inevitable about AI is its failure I would love to put on a cap & gown and give this one-sentence speech to hundreds of CEOs
Futurism@futurism.com · 2w agoIt's a bloodbath.
The most powerful people in our society are spending hundreds of billions of dollars in the attempt to make artificial human minds, while millions of real human minds are being left to die of disease, starvation and conflict. Of all the sick things about the “AI” quest, that is the sickest.
I guess the reason they do third place matches is they are hilarious?
The commercial for the Odyssey says, “He’s coming home” twice. Kinda British-ey. DURING the England game. IT’S COMING HOME!!

Well, we may have lost but at least we look like we cheated
Tried writing an article about how hard it is to get into pedagogical theory as a pre-teacher. I’d never taught before, and most pedagogical theories assumed experience. Feedback: your lack of teaching experience undercuts your argument.
S R Jones @aegisimmemorial.bsky.social · last mo.If you see this, please tell me the worst/most baffling bit of creative feedback you've ever recieved. Mine is still the time somebody told me my aliens had names that were too alien. Not that they were unpronounceable, just that they didn't sound enough like human names.
I absolutely believe the women’s team can cheat just as well as the men and that’s what makes me an ally
Donna - sooo tired of this whole administration.@m00dswing.bsky.social · last mo.Amusing how the US women's soccer team have won 4 world cups w/o having to resort to cheating like this.
A suspiciously favorable administrative decision means we're a real soccer country now.
Played this game way more than I’d like to admit. Bring back the Noid!!!

Me, reading a first-year college student’s essay, and it’s the first time they’ve used APA 6th edition, but they figured out the “different first page” function. (This is for zero people)
