Goddammit.

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

I was a clue on Jeopardy! I think this means I made it, right. That’s the top of the mountain.

you can't be serious. This reads Meta/Facebook/Insta is looking to grant itself the rights to scrape websites across the open web - and train Meta's AI - if a company after Oct 30, 2026 uses Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp or other Meta services. So every biz. Read that again. Outrageous. 1/5

Welcome to #TransTuesday! There is NO ethical consumption of Harry Potter Not the books, movies, or tv show. Not licensed games or merch. Not fanfic. Not even pirated. EVERY bit keeps the franchise alive and enables JKR's transphobia If you truly care about trans people, you need to let it die

There are two types of people

One thing that excited me about an earlier sneak peek was the fact that we get all EIGHT PresAux survey members! I missed Volescu and Overse in the TV show… 💖💖💖 Volescu, voted most sensible client (for retiring from surveys) Overse who calls Arada a “terminal optimist”

A rare solo #NobelPrize in physics goes to neutrino scientist Francis Halzen “for decisive contributions to the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and the discovery of high-energy neutrinos of astrophysical origin”. Full coverage here: physicsworld.com/a/francis-ha... 🧪⚛️

I realised I'm at the age when I need a friend with a garage and a CNC machine to mill cabinet doors for me. Hmm

@flightradar24.com Any way to find out what this heli is doing and if they have permission for that? Polish so lookup is closed. It did the full sweep Ursvik-Akalla at ~100 ft it looks like.

This is 100% why people who've been on X for years now get so weirdly bummed out by Bluesky or any other site. It isn't that bsky is a 'bubble', it's that being a shithead in the replies gets you an immediate nuclear-block, rather than immediately rewarded with Skinner-box treats

People are turning down highly-paid jobs working on H Potter related productions. They are giving up six/seven-figure sums on principle, because the money raised will be used to harm trans people, including trans children. Yet you can’t give up playing a game, watching a movie or buying a book...?

The first-ever ‘STAR WARS’ and ‘MARVEL’ crossover comic book event is releasing in January 2027. • Written by Kevin Smith with art by David Marquez. • The story sees ‘A NEW HOPE’ take place on Earth-616 due to a reality-shattering spell. (via ew.com/star-wars-ma...)

this little and easy-to-digest book o’mine comes out tomorrow! how about that. I did a lot of goofy illustrations for it. Hope it’s worth something to someone! www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/kc-gr...

I've spent weeks profiling orgs listed in Amnesty UK's reports. Methodology, definitions, & inclusion criteria should have been explicitly stated. They could've republished a revised version with that included. Instead, they capitulated to anti-rights bigots. www.transgendermap.com/issues/group...

I'm using Claude to find APIs for charging stations, something that seems like it should be open data. But considering how much they don't want to tell you how much it costs (barring a few brands), it's not surprising.

Weird, I thought the whole point of git was that it should be serverless. Yet it really doesn't like when there's nothing to push/pull to and I just want two computers synced. Huh

Apologies for the conclusion in the initial explanation. Recalculating

I recently learned that this Aussie ant species, Polyrhachis femorata, plays possum when threatened. But not just as individual ants. The entirely colony self-contorts into death poses and just lays there like the aftermath of a creepy ant suicide cult. connectsci.au/zo/article/7...
