We (girls) didn’t do anything too harmful to others but we did try to make our own alcohol by squeezing rowanberry juice and leaving it for a while to ferment 🤣

My brother and his friends built a trebuchet and terrorized people with it. I knew a kid who'd snipe his neighbors w/ his airsoft guns from his window Like yeah the internets rotting their brains, but you have to replace it with SOMETHING or they'll gonna get REAL creative in a way you won't like

Alright Twitter is done 😅

I hit the mean streets of the Upper East Side with @dreamfornyc.bsky.social to see how voters in Cuomo Country really feel about Trump, Musk, harassing women (allegedly), and how many politicians it takes to fail New York's public schools.

Hello, Elite & Competitive athletes who have been pregnant between 2018-2024! Please help out with this research study at NAU! And please share 😘

I watched ER growing up - haven’t missed an episode. So this new show on Max fully has a grip on me. Noah Wyle is back like he never left, the storytelling is immaculate.

Hear me out. HP should use Humane acquihired people to put AI onto a typewriter 👀

Wow, I need one of these! A distract-free typewriter. Thanks to @cassidoo.co for sharing. Full article here: cassidoo.co/post/micro-j....

Now that we’re safely back, I can complain. The messiest air travel experience I’ve had in my entire life this past week. Two overnight stays in Miami against my will, fuel leak on our plane, the CBP agent on the ‘express lane’ making 5-minute small talk with every person…

We are visiting in-laws. Took a sunset walk, saw a bat. 10 minutes later… No one: … My husband: So I’m reading a research paper on bat sightings in this region….

The Mrs just called Jalen Hurts a specimen (in comparison to Mahomes).. Rethinking having sent her all of those wardrobe pics/tweets/jokes during the (post)season

Bowerman pros are now part of Swoosh TC. All Nike distance athletes have access to Swoosh TC even if they have own individual coaches… tldr Fisher is basically still at Bowerman. Big day for @predamame.bsky.social

Fast Women@fastwomen.bsky.social · last yr.

Lots of good details about the Swoosh TC, just announced by Nike, here. And it's great to see Diljeet Taylor be set up for success. There are still so few women coaching at the pro level. She was already a pro coach, but now she's one with a lot more resources. www.runnersworld.com/news/a636929...

Is Jenna Prandini now training at Altis? 👀

This is an interesting finding: people who use AI a lot can identify when AI has been used by others. So, if you're a college professor, time to start really playing with these models.

People who frequently use ChatGPT for writing tasks are accurate and robust detectors of AI-generated text

In this paper, we study how well humans can detect text generated by commercial LLMs (GPT-4o, Claude, o1). We hire annotators to read 300 non-fiction English articles, label them as either…

Amazing things unfolding on LinkedIn. Avinash Kaushik penned an ‘A/B testing is dead’ essay with some valid points but a very narrow definition of A/B testing as CRO, Ronny penned a debunk amply peppered with ‘that’s not been my personal experience’…

Just found that our neighbours are trying to sell their sofas on Facebook for £3000! Who the hell has three grand to spend on sofas and is buying second hand ones?

Ah fun. This is my former state senator aka one of the most hated people in the neighborhood. Incredible consistency, very impressive.

Seth Pollack@sethmpk.bsky.social · 2y ago

This longtime associate is Jesse Hamilton. He was elected to the State Senate as a Democrat by Sunset Park, Park Slope, Prospect Heights, and Crown Heights. Then in Albany he sold out his constituents to keep the GOP running the State Senate until he & his cronies were defeated in primaries in 2018.

Not Calm app ending a 10-minute serendipity meditation with a story about Larry Page meeting Sergey Brin 😭 just like that I am jolted back into the stressful world of tech instead of being nice and sleepy 😭

Even for experienced folks coming of grad school, a lot of US employers don’t care about your exp abroad. I came here with 6 years of exp and having done World Champs and gotten one masters already - my first job post US masters was a minimum wage job at ICC organization committee

Q: Why do H1-B people need entry level jobs anyway? I thought these were supposed to be the best and brightest? Shouldn't they all be advanced level?

It is only Jan 3 and a stakeholder is already trying to pitch me on shifting only a tiny little portion of our billing to a stripe competitor that doesn’t even have a stitch or a fivetran connector. Nuh uh, the roadmap has been printed and laminated and sent to the board with a carrier pigeon 😭😭😭

2024 tried me in various ways and I’m sure 2025 will try me as well, but there were some highlights too: 🥰 seeing my mom for the 1st time since 2021 🎤 joining choir and doing 2 shows 💍🇫🇷🇬🇧 seeing my bff get married (+taking kid to Europe for the wedding) 🧒 🤯 watching my kiddo grow into a big kid

Once again I am obliged to mention that I recently worked in a school district where the policy was teachers were not to accept gifts from parents worth more than $5 lest it affect our grading.

Got 2 years added to the original case for falsifying documents. Lysenko walked so Katir could (not) run!
