@zachweinersmith.bsky.social saw your update (I'm a long-time reader). Out of curiosity, if I wanted to buy an ad for my information security consulting business on your site, might that be an option? Or if my kid wanted to do it to advertise art commissions? Is this sort of thing an option?

Seems like too many people are talking about the price of eggs being high and too few are talking about how so many people live so close to the edge in the U.S. that an increase of $3.00 is enough to destabilize our country.

I saw someone use the word "Ur" for "Your" and, as the alternative is working on a paper, I give you ... #UrMamaJokes.

Once we have science funding again, can we try to genetically engineer a chameleon that has one scale that is always 18% grey.
It would make photo processing a lot easier.

Sometimes I have smart thoughts. Sometimes I have:
"If Batman were on an island shrunk by Brainiac, he wouldn't be able to break free with his now lower-mass batarangs ... but if he used a stick to get more leverage on his throw, he'd paddle to a batlbatl battle in a brittle bottle."

Happy Monday everyone. Let's roll against the Random Dystopia table and see what we're dealing with today. Hmm, a 7 and a 2.

In the past day I’ve heard two people who really should know better say they asked ChatGPT for factual info.
ChatGPT is not a search engine. It is predictive text based on other people’s stolen writing; its whole job is to make stuff up. Please do not ask it for facts. Tell a friend.
