Quick thinking having a tablecloth handy. I didn’t even notice the twitching from that dead robot.

These Google Workspace ads (for *paying* customers!) are driving me crazy I don't know why I would need a "virtual receptionist", what "Voice Standard" is, who "my callers" are, and why I would need to "guide them automatically" Is Google Workspace losing its mind? What next: proper ads?

Hunter speaks! Dems need to listen. 🙌🔥

⚠️Google director resigns, citing the company's military deals: "management has lost its moral compass" Including a concern that Google's Pentagon deal could mean mass surveillance of EU citizens. Google's own staff don't trust them anymore... we shouldn't either.

Hilarious and deeply insightful writing by @brianphillips.lol.

You know what we don't talk enough about? Queen & Annie Lennox/David Bowie rehearsing 'Under Pressure' in 1992. So much going on! Everyone's clothes, Bowie with a lit cig throughout, where Annie PROPER GOES FOR IT, George Michael singing along in the background. The amazing vocals. Yes, please!

Happier times. #TwinPeaks #DavidLynch #LauraDern @kyle-maclachlan.bsky.social

"As long as I live, I'll hear waterfalls and birds and winds sing. I'll interpret the rocks, learn the language of flood, storm, and the avalanche. Il acquaint myself with the glaciers and wild gardens, and get as near the heart of the world as I can." - John Muir

"One-third of all Americans killed by strangers are killed by police" 10,000 family dogs killed by police every year (DOJ: "epidemic") "White nationalists pervade law enforcement" "Portland police Nazi ties to be erased" "Police solve just 2% of all major crimes" "50% of municipal budgets":

I’m sorry WHAT

Sometimes I like to sit and reminisce about simpler times. Like when the big scandal of the Obama presidency was that he put his foot on a desk in the White House.

Throwback Thursday: I really was proud of this video capturing Gimli with pine cone looking like a stogie set to music with lyrics "old stogies I have found, short, but not too big around" #corgi #corgicrew #dogsofbluesky Not as good as I remember... Ah well

My enjoyment every day my site and my stuff is online, when half of the internet breaks. Self-host takes a little more effort, but the independence is freeing.

Thinking back to when the Matrix came out and I saw it in theaters 3 times in 5 days. Wonder if there'll ever be a movie that makes me do that again.

weather forecasts in the bay should tell you if it's Warm 60 or Cold 60

The Hasan Piker dog collar incident shows that proponents of the surveillance state, like Larry Ellison, who claimed that mass video surveillance would lead to more accountability, are catastrophically wrong.

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

The Animatrix is free on YouTube in the US right now. It's a great collection of shorts and features material from people that worked on Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop, Aeon Flux, and more. Check it out if you've got 100 minutes to spare. youtu.be/QNVeOWDOvvU

In the winter of 1988, on a break from shooting DEAD POETS SOCIETY, seven of the young actors from the film traveled into New York City, 5 of them auditioning for the same role in the Jack Lemmon film DAD. The other two brought a video camera. I live for this stuff.

It is disappointing to see Google and others pushing zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) for age verification. As EFF points out, ZKPs aren't enough to protect our privacy, and without a federal privacy law, they're just more fuel for data brokers. Some additional thoughts 🧵 www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

EXCLUSIVE: Democratic voters who skipped the 2024 election favor candidates like Bernie Sanders and AOC. Polling shows they believe inequality is at the heart of America’s problems and health care should be available to everyone.

People underestimate how much payment processors and insurance companies dictate the terms of commerce and drive behavior.

Okay, for those who asked, here's the simple version: * 1 can Cento tuna (in olive oil) * 1 stalk celery, finely chopped * a big glob of Duke's mayo * about 1.5 tbsp of pickled red onions, finely chopped (like so: www.anildash.com/2022/11/15/c... ) * paprika, salt, pepper, and parsley to taste
