fascinating! but their comparative testing with robots produces the best quote:
"Both humans and the robot achieved close to the maximum sensitivity researchers had predicted. In other words, robots can take our jobs, but we can still find things buried in the sand with slightly more precision."

The perfect Thanksgiving NYC indie film almost didn't get made
At the turn of the century, Katie Holmes starred in "Piece of April," James Hedges' now-cult classic.

The witch works with the season. When the year begins its slow striptease, she reads the language of the trees' wooden bones. Reads tomorrow in a fall of phyllomancy. When birds come to harvest high berries, auspicy is her share. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

Honestly. Im an "old" but Im gonna be ageist here. Anyone over 65 in politics needs to retire. As much as I love Bernie, this includes him. We need more AOC, Jasmine Crocketts

It's not just that Schumer is weak, it's that he's complicit. He hates his constituents and wishes they'd just leave him alone to make deals for the corporations he represents. After the clearest mandate to DO SOMETHING ever seen in modern times, he sold out the entire country.

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

$7.2M, seems reasonable 😆
The Charlie Parker Residence at 151 Ave B in the East Village is back on the market with a $7.2M ask. The landmarked 1849 townhouse, where Parker lived 1951–54, includes 4 full-floor apartments (plus a penthouse with a private deck) facing Tomkins Square Park. It was last listed in 2015 for $9.25M.

happy #bbsky anniversary! I'm having so much fun as a small part of this successfully transplanted community. And thank you again to @tvtater.bsky.social y.social and @bbgossip.bsky.social who originally helped me with the transfer from the bad place. And finally, go Izzy and Paige!

just sitting here at my desk with my belly performing a loud orchestral piece that must be audible from two cubicles away. I can only blame Dunkin, as this morning I left my lovely homemade coffee sitting on the counter at home

I am so much enjoying the new Theo, played with quiet fury by Tyler Joseph Andrews. I'm judging the character as chaotic good for now -- but he does seem to be growing in a Stefano beard and mustache, so who knows #DaysofOurLives
