It takes fairly little effort for a person to tell their AI bot to research and draft an email, but it takes the recipients real time to dig into these tips and separate hallucinations from tips that might actually have some basis. They're basically DDOSing journalists.

I ate a three-day suspension for nothing, of course the Claude that does moderation on this website doesn't know Portuguese...

Must have accessories for all cervids.

Greatly enjoying the stock photos used to illustrate news stories about emergency stockpiles. Because it'd be unthinkable to go a week without horseradish sauce 😃

It sounds like a joke, but this here is genuinely a wind-powered rocket ship.

The "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" game is bullshit and always has been. These crazy bastards used data science to prove it: pudding.cool/2026/10/kevi...

Welp, there goes another one: pillowfort is shutting down in december. Just too expensive to run, between dev and moderation and low user numbers, regardless of how much they cut their overheads (and I think they were paid rather less than the cohost team were). www.pillowfort.social/posts/8413273/

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

If you're backyard is close to water, consider building a frog sauna to help treat chytrid!

Ho boy, do I have a story for you. The question of how ice breaks has been central to glaciology for well over a century.

This one is going on the list. I can’t quite place what the art style reminds me of, but i really like even the tiny amount that’s on the steam page.

A fascinating little ring from the Punic necropolis on Ibiza. It depicts a bearded man in profile, but his hair and beard are composed of two birds (!), and his collar is a dolphin. 😮 The Punic inscription reads 'Belonging to Abdim'. 🏺 1/ 3rd-2nd c. BCE. #MuseoArqueológicoNacional 📸 me

So, happy 89th anniversary of the day Oswald Mosley tried to sell fascism to Liverpudlians—and someone concussed him with a brick

New damage-resistant knitting pattern discovered using maths! I’m slightly disappointed there’s no nice image of the actual knit, other than a tiny photo of how defect propagation is limited. Diagram (b) and photo (e) show the robust knit. It doesn’t look simple, but I Am Not A Knitter.

I'm sorry, but the audiobook of Gromit's autobiography should be marked as "read by the author" and then just be 8hrs of silence.

Fun new bluesky failure. Couldn’t log in to bluesky itself or view my profile on clearsky, but it was visible on bluesky and blacksky. Seems a bit careless to break with such an unhelpful error.

Bruno spoke ill of the pedophile class running tech, and we can't have that on Bluesky dot com

They suspended fucking Bruno Dias? Coward shit

It’s wild to imagine a United States where the death of 8 children resulted in actual policy change. More on brand to see that the response to a bunch of vehicle accidents was to blame the time zone.

I’ve been caving in waterlogged spaces only just big enough for a helmet to fit through, but this photo produces substantially higher feelings of claustrophobia and fear of drowning in me. Being sliced up by the lost teeth of former riders embedded in the tube seems like schlock horror writing 😬

Lighthouses of the BC South Coast. Cool. mapped.earth/lighthouses/...

Whilst out and about and cake-bothering booksellers, I saw my first Hookland sticker out in the wild.

Qingshan Lake Water Forest in Lin'an District, Hangzhou is a viral attraction sometimes called "Matcha Lake" for the emerald green duckweed (subfamily Lemnoideae). These black swans (Cygnus atratus) & their cygnets are enjoying a nutritious buffet of aquatic plants. Let's learn about duckweed.

The Saving Wildcats project has confirmed four wildcats released into the Cairngorms National Park this summer has brought the total number released since 2023 to 50 👉 www.thenational.scot/news/2...

No one wants to admit it but the first step to fixing TV is going to have to be making it 4:3 again

Do not carry a cold beverage in their presence. Politely decline any drinks or sweetmeats they may offer. Keep a plain iron nail in your left trouser pocket and a sachet or paper twist of coarse salt in your right shoe. Enter and leave your chair moving clockwise. Follow up with a thank-you note.

Artists, show how much you’ve improved in 34 years:

if you quit corporate to become a beekeeper, does that mean you broke out in hives

back in 2016 i made a mesoamerican riff on the oneill cylinder/bernal sphere in "HABITAT"- i love every mossy tube city in space

This is cool, but I really wanted to know where the actual bouy was. It seems to be at an experimental wave power site called SEM-REV, near nantes. juliusvonbismarck.com/bank/index.p... fondation-open-c.org/nos-sites-en... cartes.gouv.fr/explorer-les...

Augh, jumpscared by a near-lifesize cardboard cutout of mr beast at the tesco checkout, advertising “his” “book”. I’m angry I even know what this jerk looks like.
