Sudden realization: oxygen is a deadly, volatile gas that’s a byproduct of the first hydrogen-eating prokaryotes four billion years ago. And we think it’s pretty great. How many other things have we gotten backwards and believe to be universal truths?

I love it. Trump taking Machado’s medal is like claiming I wrote Stairway because I have it on my phone.

I just put on one pair of glasses to find where I’d put the other pair of glasses.

Rich Brown is a friend and an inspiration. This is not your average electric bass album. I’m so proud to own digital, CD, and a first run vinyl copy of this work! The record arrived today. #ontheturntable #vinyl #music

Rockin’ in the studio. I never had lasers when I was five! Or a studio. Or instruments. I think we’d just discovered the wheel and fire!

Yes, it will be televised. Is this not enough?
What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids?
Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

Good morning! How to enjoy your tea on a Sunday morning while the world goes to shit around you. Even my five year old son can agree on Steely Dan. #ontheturntable #vinyl #music

Bunnies! I still love this phase of Rush’s career. I also popped Roll The Bones on prior to this. The mixes still sound thin, but the songs are still very special to me. #ontheturntable #vinyl #music

1. Headlines everywhere today read "Grok apologizes."
This is bullshit. A chatbot is not something that can apologize.
Pretending otherwise is simple laundering these companies' bullshit about what AI is, while diffusing blame away from the human beings that developed and released this system.

That’s right.
Unless I'm missing something, and I'm pretty sure I'm not, Twitter's AI is cranking out CSAM deepfakes, Elon Musk is making jokes about it, and nobody is doing anything to stop it or hold anyone at Twitter accountable for its creation and distribution.
Is that right?

I was really feeling this today. And remember, Otto Klemperer was the father of Werner, best known for his role as Col. Klink in Hogan’s Heroes. #ontheturntable #vinyl #music

Things a five year old asks at bedtime:
“How did humans get here?”
“If an asteroid hits one part of the earth, how do so many species go extinct?”
Nothing like telling them they have one more minute before bed and then trying to fit the entire history of life on earth into that minute. 1/2

Just watched the Christmas episode of #WILTY and you can see the change in atmosphere and editing. Jules saying “We’ll ask the questions” must have been the trigger. But still, it was nice to shut Walliams up. David’s full-on Morse explosion was a joy to behold.

This colour coding doesn’t make sense to me. It’s yellow, but the impact is high. It’s currently shattering down freezing rain (and has been for hours) so the confidence should be high. Shouldn’t this be red? @davesills.ca, this *is* confusing. I was wrong.

Listening to the last batch of #InfiniteMonkeyCage #IMC episodes and thinking how @robinince.bsky.social is such a great “every man”. When addressing complex topics, you need to have someone intelligent remember that they’re there to represent “us”. I hope he continues that.

This is how academia ends. Didn’t do the work? Make shit up and get your teacher shitcanned.
The University of Oklahoma has removed an instructor who was accused by a student of religious discrimination over a failing grade on a psychology paper in which she cited the Bible and argued that promoting a “belief in multiple genders” was “demonic.” https://cnn.it/4b6g3rd

Is it me or have others been seeing a trend with priests and kids? I also noticed that lots of American conservative pastors have been struggling with their sexuality and finances.
