the concept of willingly growing boobs and losing muscle mass and facing mass abuse by the general public just to *checks notes* beat other women at a sport for significantly less pay and recognition than the average male professional golfer

🙄. If Scottie Scheffler held a press conference tomorrow and said my whole life has been a lie, I’ve started HRT and I’m going to compete in LPGA tournaments from now on, that is transparently absurd. And defending his (or her) “right” to do it is insane.

let me tell you about a little science communicator using AI named Every Working Mathematician and Software Engineer

If you’re a science communicator and you use AI, read this. This is about what’s happening to Hank Green.

Truly we are in the era of Pleasant Women. The Tame Impala song is the edgiest song on here and the second edgiest is Ariana's.

just found out about the sinead o'connor bratz doll. i need a minute

This has so, so many RTs but as far as I can tell, this is just an extrapolation of the congressional travel per diem, which they'd only get when traveling on official business, not a flat stipend they get every day and every week?

I still can't get over the fact that our politicians get $558 per week for meals... WTAF? While kids get cut off SNAP 2,232 per month, just for meals. I will be mad about this for a long time. They have the nerve to deny low income kids food

The irony of this being a fake quote, shared exclusively by people crowing about how they're smarter than everyone else

any time taco bell comes up thousands of people go "ummmm how do you eat taco bell? don't you hate getting DIARRHEA?" my response is this happens to you because your soul needs to be saved. it does not happen to people who god's light shines down upon. also eat more fiber.

imo most things that people disliked about 'woke 1' were academic lab leaks of a sort: concepts and frames that are reasonable and appropriate, or at least defensible, when you're developing very precise arguments in conversation with other similar arguments that got distorted in the wild

Scarlet Ibis 55-72 cm are highly gregarious wading birds. They build their nests tightly clustered together in mangrove trees and shrubs, often sharing a single tree in tropical wetlands and coastal mangroves of South America and the Caribbean Diet: crustaceans, small fish, aquatic insects

a huge part of my childhood was stuff like this. just sort of puzzling over the Letterman Top 10 Book and trying to reverse engineer what the Iran Contra Scandal was from it

Furthering my theory that this entire website is for people who owned Doonesbury collections as children and understood about a third of it.

The phrase "he's not heavy, and he's not my brother" has simmered in my brain for like 30 years now because of my childhood Doonesbury book

hey can any monkey scientists chime in here. my son is insisting monkeys would never eat toast and i'm pretty sure that's not true but have we ever actually observed a monkey eating toast

Rumor is LeBron is leaving the Lakers to play for the Democratic Socialists of America. Great pickup for the DSA, which really has some momentum right now.

Adorable southern emu-wren Australia's smallest bird, 15-18 cm It is endemic to Australia. Its natural habitats are temperate forests, and shrubby vegetation, and swamplands. They have weak flight capabilities, spending time scrambling and hopping through dense shrub eating insects and spiders.

the headline here is obviously far too strong given a variety of sampling issues, but this is a very clever and interesting study design they find that companies which are adopting AI at high rates are also adding jobs at higher rates econlab.substack.com/p/we-can-fin...

We can finally say AI isn’t killing jobs

At least not in the overall sense, no promises on your specific job.

Hot take maybe, but I have no problem with using AI to recreate the voices of dead people, especially if they have next-of-kin permission. The dead don't own anything, we don't owe them anything

Netflix unveiles the trailer for its new Willy Wonka-themed competition show, which uses AI to recreate the voice of Gene Wilder, who died in 2016 aged 83.

please stop telling my horrible son to touch grass. we try to keep him indoors as much as possible

It's honestly remarkable how much AI art is boosted on this platform purely by haters who look up AI art for the purposes of replying about how it's not really art or whatever. Like do people not understand how the attention economy works? If you want it to go away, you should ignore it!

It's a very dangerous Trump-era instinct to take a celebrity you and your peer group feel a lot of goodwill towards and project both good personal politics and presidential ambitions onto them. That's why I think a more realistic ceiling for johnny knoxville is ambassador to the UN

Can someone just explain the Tim Onion controversy to me? I don't feel like picking through the garbage for this one I'd also love any receipts on Will Stancil's supposed transphobia, which I'm also seeing bandied about this morning
