If you want to learn to crochet I strongly suggest you DO NOT spend $30-$190 on a Woobles kit. Get a 5mm (or 5.5mm or 6mm depending on what the yarn label says) and some inexpensive 4 worsted weight yarn. That’s about $10 or less! Watch videos and read tutorials. Learn to make chains and do basic…

Woobles is charging $30 a little bit of yarn, a hook, and stitch markers. That’s insane! It’s literally a money grab by a woman who worked for Google!

I acknowledge that there’s a whole space of “I want to make my computer do this very specific thing for me right now” folks who could benefit from AI coding assist. That’s different from formal software engineering, just like DIYing a shed is different from building a bridge.

Do you want early detection of Alzheimers and various types of dementia, or do you want a shit autocorrect that takes you three times as long correcting its bullshit than it would to have done the work to begin with?
The world needs one, but we can't afford it because of the other.

I genuinely hope his passion and love for his community inspires more folks to run for politics to replace the heartless corrupt gremlins still clutching onto their positions
Everyone in the world comes to get married at the NYC Marriage Bureau. Last week, the Mayor stopped by to officiate a few of those ceremonies.
Thank you to all the couples who shared their joy with us. Happy Valentine's Day, New York.

BREAKING: Bugs Bunny has been banned by Bluesky trust & safety
One of my favorite jokes of all time is "Adolph Hitler Commits Suicide" being a tiny headline under the banner story about a hare-vs-tortoise race ... in 1943, two years before Hitler committed suicide. He was alive and well when the Warner Bros. cartoonists made this joke.
