I see there’s a post about microplastics going around with a photo of drinking straws, so here is my semi-regular reminder that the 3 biggest sources of microplastics are tires (45%), synthetic clothing particles (35%) and paint (~10%).
Lay article attached:
One of the biggest microplastic pollution sources isn’t straws or grocery bags – it’s your tires
Every few years, the tires on your car wear thin and need to be replaced. But where does that lost tire material go? The answer, unfortunately, is often waterways, where the tiny microplastic particle...

My parents just came over, on Christmas Eve.
And brought their iPads.
Their emails have stopped working.
...
They have managed to sync 34GB of data to their 5GB free Outlook plan.

If you have a Remarkable, SuperNote, Kindle Scribe, or even an iPad, it's a good time of the year to order a 2026 Planner. This is a cool, one-person-company that generates a 1000+ annotatable *custom for you* PDF that you can use to manage your life. This is my 4th year buying one! hyperpaper.me

Another day of me being mad that people don't understand how haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords works.

Loving the comments on how stupid it is to enter your password into a random website.

My husband has gone out with his brother and isnt the driver ... so I've gone down a 3D printing rabbit hole on TikTok and I keep sending him videos.

Today I will log off with about 25 emails still in my Inbox which annoys the heck out of me. My brain is no longer functioning to action any of them, but what do you mean I have to pause all this stuff for two weeks. But also I really need to.

Listening to how a guy uses AI and wondering if it would have just been easier for him to draft the post himself.

In Australia, the blood donor response is so high right now, we've crashed the Donor website.
If you ever see news of a mass shooting and wish you could help, please go and donate blood.

Even if your donation doesn't go directly to those injured, it will still save lives ... even if you are in another country.

It's one thing we can't manufacture with money.

It's weird waking up the morning after the attack on our Jewish community at Bondi Beach.
Another public place we thought was safe.
Two extremists who could only see hate, or revenge, or whatever their motivation was.
Countless stories of people who acted, sheltered people or helped the wounded.
