The IMLS recently revoked a $500K grant to the Museum of African America History (MAAH), on Boston's Beacon Hill, saying it "no longer serves the interest of the United States". ✨ they are wrong ✨ 1. go visit! (it's a short, pleasant walk from the Common) 2. consider a donation? www.maah.org

what UX research told ESPN that sports fans want the "looking ahead to the offseason" notification 0.02 seconds after their team is eliminated? Are there sickos who like this???

America, if tonight is your first time hearing Lou Merloni... welcome to Red Sox nation 😊

How are things going? I just used CMake to convert a semver string to a hexadecimal and pass it as a compiler define, and that dosn't crack the top 10 most cursed things I read this week.

Screamo Friday is a proud tradition in my home. Some of these "metalcore" playlists on Spotify are super soft though. Gimme a band recommendation!

Never been more Red Sox pilled

The train I'm on is 99.99% zoomers going to Lolla, 0.01% me going to the allergist. Thankfully there's Bluesky, a social site for old folks like me 😊

is "Dear Maria, Count Me In" the official song of the A's or something? I've heard it at least 3 times during the Sox game tonight (not a complaint!).

What my brain sees when I land on a cppreference.com page.

POV: it's July and you get Pats push notifications from the @espn.com app

I would rather eat a bucket of chalk (dry) than listen to this Apple TV MLB broadcast for one more inning omg go Sox, though 😙

Annoying the Viking-hatted Norwegian couple rowing next to me: "SO YEAH IT'S CALLED 'LIGHT THE BEAM', SUUUUPER SIMILAR VIBE, YOU SHOULD CHECK IT OUT"

🎉 Less than one month until #SciPy2026! 👉️ ti.to/scipy/scipy2... When people ask what SciPy is, it's tempting to say it's a conference about Python for scientific computing. But SciPy has always been much more than that.

Found a Dunkin card from 2017 (forgotten Christmas gift tucked in a book). Redeeming it in the app just worked. Should be unremarkable but I 100% expected it to fail. Shout out to simple, boring, reliable tech stuff that works 🥰

Hard to overstate how universally loved the Bears are where I'm from. More than any other sports team, celebrity, food, music genre, etc. People who say "I don't really watch sports" know what happened in the Bears game last night, know who Caleb Williams is. They belong here. This sucks.

Straight up, if you weren’t a Sky fan when we were in second to last place, don’t come hopping on the bandwagon when we are third from last place 😌 #WNBA

Dom Smith is the one that got away 🥲

And the Amtrak drops you off downtown on both ends, 0 cab/Lyft/bus required! Chicago folks who've never trained up for Summerfest - try it this year 😎

I see far more local chicago content on here than i ever did on the bird app - it brings me so much joy. My politics is now happy neighborhoods and a sunny chicago day is the best

Hate that playoff basketball requires a streaming subscription, love that the broadcast team is D-Wade, Candace Parker, and Kevin Harlan. I'd listen to another 100 games of this.

bout 7 years ago, I bought $10 tickets to see Cory Booker give his stump speech at a restaurant in Chicago. Made a typo in my last name, one I've never made elsewhere. 7 years of relentless unsubscribing later, still getting fundraising emails from random out-of-state Dems, addressed to that typo 🙃

✨everything sucks ✨ [1][2][3] [1] the big, obvious one [2] "AI" garbage everywhere [3] only villains and boring teams left in the NBA playoffs

There's a secret other game inside every Laker game! Try watching Marcus Smart off-ball (offense and defense) for 60 seconds, you'll see.

Really good piece, expresses clearly what I've only been able to describe with "ugh 😫". Thank you @ky.fyi ☺️

Just caught someone trying to sneak a security exploit into LightGBM via a plausible-but-huge PR 😫 They wrote out exactly how they were trying to trick us in a public repo. If I weren't so angry I'd think that was funny. 😡 LLMs made the big do-evil button easier to reach, a human chose to push it.

This is a Neemias Queta fan account.

It's official ... LightGBM has moved to its own GitHub organization 😬 We hope it'll improve the health of the project and clarify its governance structure. If you encounter any issues, please report them here: github.com/lightgbm-org...

If you look closely you'll see it... this is a Dave Roberts appreciation post 😁. Go Sox.

I love this thread. I did a 26-hour Amtrak once and this is making me want to again.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

🚨 SPORT CLOSE 🚨

“It is not simple. I do not know what that means.“

I cannot stress this enough - Chicago is not to be fucked with

outrageous pickup at Trader Joe's in the Chicago burbs today

more of this plz

Go birds, but gotta respect how hard Kiké is Marcus-Smart-ing tonight

Thank you PSF! This took courage, at a time when it's badly needed.

it is 2-2 in the 6th, why tf does Marlins Man have his visor rally cap'd lol

Went to NBC to "just get eyes on" NBA opening night. An hour has passed and I'm still here 😅

Gary Graf, a Chicago Heights Catholic priest, began a 50-day justice walk from Pope Leo’s boyhood home in Dolton to New York.

The most fundamental political debate of our time: You are integrated into and have responsibility for our complex, imperfect society vs. Nuh-uh.
