Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

I've said this before, but there are two kinds of people in the world.
- People who have suffered or been traumatized by something, and think it's unfair unless everyone else also suffers
- People who have suffered or been traumatized by something and don't want anyone else to experience that.

I had a relative ask what I want for Christmas during Thanksgiving and I’m still messed up about it. She asked in a very thoughtful way (I was talking about how we’ve been cutting back, times are hard etc) and I don’t know how to explain to people that like… I’m sad about the world. 1/

Social media is now the number one form of information and entertainment on earth.
We are all television. Some of us are news, some of us are comedy, documentaries, reality shows, dramas, but we are all TV.
And the platforms that distribute, our content are the new TV networks.

Genuinely…. What’s the point in paying for health insurance anymore? It’s literally cheaper for me to pay out of pocket unless something devastating happens to me. And at that point man… in this country…. Might as well just pray at that point bc ur getting a bill either way.

Well… I need to go through and figure out where I went wrong pred-proofing bc I just lost potentially two? Chickens and one of my ducks has an injured eye. I check on everybody every night and the fact this all happened last night has me a bit in shock :( I put so much effort into safety…

Listen, if you tell me that “taxation is theft” I’m going to need you to quit driving on highways or walking on sidewalks or attending a public school or using police or fire services or city snow removal.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Before, if you plagiarised you'd get booted out of the academic community and your name was a black mark
It was so bad during every BA semester, we'd have 10 hours of lectures that were just threats, and I had profs allowing only presentations to avoid accidental plagiarism
NOW, however....

I beat P3R a few days ago and I’m still really messed up about it. I understand why it’s /the/ Persona game to play. I had so many friends playing it around me at the time and just had no access to it, and finally committed. What a worthwhile play :) Even the side dialogue was peak.

🚨 New working paper 🚨
Can LLMs with reasoning + web search reliably fact-check political claims?
We evaluated 15 models from OpenAI, Google, Meta, and DeepSeek on 6,000+ PolitiFact claims (2007–2024).
Short answer: Not reliably—unless you give them curated evidence.

Maybe I’m just able to find art easier on bsky, but I do have to say I enjoy finding artists (new and ones I followed) on here more than on other platforms. I feel like whatever nightmare algo I was being fed was just not getting me LMAO

i just read something about grief from C.S. Lewis and his book, “A Grief Observed”
basically, when someone you love dies, it isn’t just them that you miss, but the parts of yourself that person brought out of you that can never be brought out again.
i feel that with my dad.

My grandma died a few years ago, & as the holidays come up it makes me think of her. She honestly could be p bad (she was racist in that gross casual way, referring to me as “exotic” to her friends) but she always made holidays feel like holidays. My dad did too. I’m so terrible at it by compare.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

One of my quails managed to pop in such a way that she may have given herself a head injury… I’m so sad. I’m praying she pulls through, but she’s still having trouble standing.
