Nanoraptor@nanoraptor.danamania.com · 2w agoYou suddenly get a narrator describing your life and there’s no way to turn it off - everyone can hear it. While shopping, at work, at home, with friends - the voice narrating your every move goes on. Who do you hope is the voice of this narrator?
Yes, things are still awful. But it is so much fun watching my hometown lose their collective minds over LeBron coming to Philly.
you europeans saying i need to chill a bit but you have to understand that life is good here in the states too it's only midnight on friday and im kicking back drinking a beer while writing a grant proposal to a federal funding agency that probably no longer exists
JKR and her new org apparently helped get the new Amnesty International report on how TERF organizations destroy lives taken down from their site. Well, guess what? The Streisand Effect is real. Here's the entire report in a thread. Read it. Share it.
Alejandra Caraballo@esqueer.net · 3w agoAmnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

The original Toy Story movies made kids (and adults) want to go home and play with their toys. Toy Story 5 makes parents want to go home and play with their kids.
At the Reflecting Pool, and guys, this doesn’t look right.

Since I did do my PhD in cyanobacteria growth and treatment optimization modeling AND work in the water treatment industry, I’m gonna share my theory as to what’s happening here and how to fix it. People are focusing on the painted bottom of the pool increasing residual heat, and while that 1/19

Generative AI can create lazy marketing copy but only a human brain could come up with a perfect word like “incellionaires.” I will be stealing this term. Brilliant.
tru@thetrudz.photo · 2mo agoAn artist I like succumbed to using Slopinator 5000 output. Hurts since real photographs of them eat down all the time. I will never forgive these incellionaires for bringing this into society. The most antisocial losers having the time of their lives being architects of destruction in the arts.
I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”
Forbes@forbes.com · 2mo agoScientists have reached a consensus that human behavior is a big driver of climate change—but Americans aren't buying it.
It’s truly astonishing to see how comprehensively the US government is tearing down every part of the system that has made it up until now a world-leading power in science, research, and technological development. The entire world will suffer from this wanton destruction.

Fascinating long thread about the disability use-case for Meta glasses and its broader implications.
Sarah Rose@thesarahrose.bsky.social · 3mo agoThe good taxpayers of New York have given me a pair of Meta glasses because I am low vision disabled, and I seem to have used them more than a lot of people on here, so let me say a little about my experiences:
People keep asking Alan Moore questions about comics he's disowned when they could spend more time asking him questions about things he actually gives a shit about—and get answers as glorious as this.
Karlin Lillington@klillington.bsky.social · 3mo agoWell this post went a bit wild while I was off gardening over the bank holiday Sunday and here's the link for your enjoyment, esp for people unfamiliar with The Observer (or alternatively, in an international context, which Observer) and not sure where to look: observer.co.uk/culture/inte...
It is astounding how everyone thought Elon Musk was the real-life Tony Stark, and then it started to look like he was really Justin Hammer. Now it turns out he was actually Milhouse all along.
