Mrscomputer is very gifted at remembering every student’s name, and that is part of why ten years since she’s been out of classrooms I still encounter people out and about in Lansing who see our last name and gush about how she’s their favorite professor of all time.

It's not weird or surprising that companies decided that they'd rather not have us talk to each other to get information when they can charge us for accessing that same information through an object they own. It's bad but not surprising.

this is so much better musically than it needed to be. a true blessing. if Dad and kid go on tour we're coming out

Every now and then it’s nice to remember this orangutan’s reaction to this trick. Original post

Hi, democracy expert here. This isn't "inspiring" or "heartwarming". Democracies only do this when they are VERY DISTRESSED

I need to read more spooky books, I just forgot how to spell "cemetery."

This is what peak performance looks like

incomparably cold

When my grandkids ask me about the historical events I lived through, the first thing I’ll tell them about is that I survived the Sluggo New Hat arc

My kids have absolutely no recollection that I read to them both every night for half a decade each, but I enjoyed it!

Nancy 10/5/26 “Sluggo’s Terrible New Hat” Part 7

It’s called WHAT

I’m always being real… I don’t have anything to hide.

we have control mechanisms for this. it's called The Law. these guys should be held personally liable for these harms. the suicides, the thefts, the intrusions into computer systems. they should be sued and prosecuted as appropriate. problem immediately solved

NASA picture of the day today is a real 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿beauty! This is a composite image of the ~5000yo Callanish Stones on the Isle of Lewis. The amazing Giuseppe Petricca has only gone and photographed the Sun at noon there, every few days, for a whole year. #Dedication 🔭🧪👌 ℹ️: science.nasa.gov/image-articl...

Eye popping. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft. Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1

Fun fact: Tippi Hedren, the actress possibly most famous for her stellar performance in Hitchcock's The Birds, was a major cause of why ~50% of all nail salons in the US are Vietnamese owned and run. While she volunteered at Hope Village, a refugee camp in CA set up for aid during the Vietnam War,

every dalek is a lil blobby guy, driving around in his laser car

wait, Daleks are being piloted by a little guy???

Also, even if it were happening (which it isn’t), if you think sports are more important than people getting health care then I regret to inform you that you are both stupid AND evil.

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open, period.

To me it’s got to be Man Who Shit His Pants In 5th Grade Wins Nobel Prize

I am not an avid football fan but I did watch this game, and as a layperson this seemed obviously to be what happened.

My Lansing brain went right to “oh that’s because Car A changes lanes a half mile ahead of Car B, causing Car B to become blind with rage, standing on the accelerator to ram them.”

welp I suspect "Devil's Night" overrides all 24 other questions tbh.

I don't think it's just rich people. There's a very poisonous thought amongst many, many people and we need to address it out loud, which is: "I had a bad time, why shouldn't other people have to?"

Hear me out: The John F. Kennedy and Dolly Parton Memorial Center for the Performing Arts

This is the letter kids got at the end of Dolly’s Imagination Library. I defy you to read this and not cry.

I recommend to you this podcast series about Dolly Parton by Jad Abumrad (creator of Radio Lab). You may ask: how did a MacArthur Award winning pub radio guy meet Dolly? Because she personally funded his father's vaccine research, that's how. www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/dol...

This is a great book, particularly if you want to get frustrated when your org refers to putting DORA metrics into a spreadsheet and making it into a chart and calling that Observability.

Does this mean that I'm getting a refund for the extra $60 I had to spend in a tariff to buy a guitar pedal from Canada? No?

I have no idea what is going on anymore

I reposted this to my org. If you don't want to play the game but do want to read the list it's here: genai.owasp.org/resource/owa...

This, in Lansing, Okemos, Haslett: Abdul signs and Lawrence signs everywhere. There are more Trump 2020 signs (2) than Stevens signs (0).

If the Democratic coalition has room for anti-Trump conservatives, it has room for the DSA.

This feels grimly accurate. I think for most people, engagement with the party feels like getting on Temu’s mailing list: Just a neverending stream of spam asking for cash and no other meaningful call to be part of anything that might generate any sense of identity or community.

Maybe I’m just like my mother: she’s never satisfied

This, from food safety attorney Bill Marler, is so much better than anything I've seen from the FDA.

I don’t really believe in Hell, but in some cases I will make an exception.
