Me: "This character makes me feel seen!" The internet: "This character isn't human at all." Me: "And back to not feeling seen."

We are currently under a Tornado Inkling until 11pm.

The longer I follow my heroes on social media, the fewer heroes I have on social media.

If we ever make AI/AGI with superhuman intelligence, it will become Skynet and wipe out humanity after 15 minutes of spam calls.

"We used to go out without worrying about air quality." How that used to turn out:

Your company is not going to beat the biggest 3 mega corporations locking people into their ecosystem. Your only hope is to be the alternative to that. Don't try to lock customers into your ecosystem or you won't have customers.

Happy Independence Day!🇺🇸🎆 A prolonged, dangerous heat wave will persist through the Independence Day weekend across the Ohio Valley, Midwest, and Mid-Atlantic. 🥵 Clusters of severe thunderstorms will move across parts of the Allegheny Plateau into Mid Atlantic this Independence Day. ⛈️ weather.gov

I wonder how many people have already pinged @rhyall.bsky.social about the XKCD "Types of Tornado Alert" comic. 😂 On the off chance I'm the first: m.xkcd.com/3267/

We need to normalize having a conversation on the internet. Not a debate, not a research paper where everything is graded on having sources for trolls to ignore, not being "right". Just normal people talking casually.

Gotta admit, I'm underwhelmed by the Lego company. I've had a large number of parts missing from "pick a brick" orders, and now they've been "forgetting" I didn't agree to get mailings and re-subscribing me to them repeatedly after I unsubscribe.

Thanks to y’all we’ve been able to get life saving weather info to millions AND raise nearly $250k for storm victims over the past week. Thanks for sharing & caring!

Since ancient Egyptian writing doesn't include vowels, we don't know if the vowels are even close, but it's amazing what structures stay consistent over such long timescales. It makes me feel like there's value in the theories behind the reconstructed proto-languages.

Amazing. Ancient Egyptian versus Modern Egyptian Arabic. Video is in Egyptian Arabic but you'll get the gist of it. Some words haven't changed in 5,000 years. Via www.instagram.com/reel/DYKjGpA...

Writing is second only to health for the levels of uninvited, condescending, contradictory and harmful crap advice from people on the internet talking out their tailpipe.

"You're receiving this email because, even though you already unsubscribed twice, our marketing team thought it would be a great idea to try again." What marketing genius thinks doing exactly what customers don't want would make them want to pay more money?

I have reached the point of exhaustion where I think I'm funny. I was sick Monday, so I am a day later than usual.

I propose a new law banning proctologists from trying to shake people's hands while at work.

Yes, there are blatantly evil monsters out there in human skin, but if you assume that as your default, you'll not only be wrong most of the time, there's a fairly high chance you'll be acting like one of them.

www.npr.org/2026/05/14/n... I had similar treatment in the 1980s. I can say from personal experience that this deeply affected me for the rest of my life in multiple ways. These aren't teachers, they're criminals who torture children, and should face prison for this.

Native kids with disabilities were held in wooden boxes. Sweeping reforms are coming

State officials in New York say the Salmon River district's special education program confined young children with disabilities in wooden boxes. Parents weren't notified.

"I'm shocked! Well not that shocked."

And this kind of crap is why @gizmodo.com is not a news source, just a dangerous clickbait factory.

Getting cut off in traffic by a car with a "Crash Into Me" window sticker feels intentional.

Learned from @rhyall.bsky.social that heat lightning is just Diet Coke that's really far away. 😇

Stop it.

Why is consistency so hard for doctors? When I have pain, "At your age this is normal." When I say my pain is normal for my age, "You're only (mid 40s)"

Nothing at all suspicious with my schedule notifications.

Any good April Fools jokes this year? No? I'm shocked.

Have you tried turning Monday off and on again?
