It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

Life tip: if you're laminating something you're gonna hang outside, cut the corners off before you laminate it, so that when you make holes for the string or pins or whatever you're using to hang it up with, the holes are just in the plastic and don't create an entry point for water into the paper.

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

It is morally wrong to want a computer to be sentient. If you owned a sentient thing, you would be a slaver. If you want sentient computers to exist, you just want to create a new kind of slavery. The ethics are as simple as that. Sorry if this offends

another way to get a free drink from a bartender is to pick a nice nearby spot, show up regularly, tip generously, and don’t be a psycho. you’ll be getting lots of free rounds in no time and, as an added bonus, you are making new friends instead of debasing yourself into a two bit swindler.
Cool how one of the most prevalent tech stories now is “here’s how to be a creep and/or convincing fraud.”
How I Used Smart Glasses to Trick a Bartender Into Giving Me a Free Drink
How smart glasses can be used to con, cheat, and manipulate—and how to spot if someone is doing it.

I appreciate their enthusiasm, but the group I do a Friday Bible study with pause and everyone says "Amen" after every single line of a prayer, and that's way too much.

I have been traveling and today I present to you...the thing I saw in the Frankfurt airport.
Is it efficient? Undeniably. Does it probably work better than the normal way? Oh certainly. Produce less of a mess? Probably?
But the existence of Condiment Udders gives me a deep, aghast disquiet.

This is a REALLY good video that gets into the *specifics* of how AI is degrading our information environment and putting truth further out of reach for the average person / the population as a whole
I walked into the lounge last night to find my teenage son watching this. We have long admired @kurzgesagt.org and found their videos to be extremely illuminating. But this one in particular I think is so important right now!

I want more protest songs that work along the lines of sea shanties.
A simple refrain with repetition, easy to memorize. Kinda call-and-response.
