What the actual fuck, Apple
Not satisfied with just destroying their own brand goodwill, OS companies are now using AI to try to destroy the good names of the apps users install. (Scrivener taking out adds to explain how it has no AI but Apple adds some anyway.)

Cosigned. As @pattonoswalt.bsky.social just said: Wood chipper, feet first.
I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

One of the reasons why Finland is the happiest country in the world is that the public broadcaster Yle sends a live feed of the first 8 weeks of a pack of puppies every fall. It’s already the fifth edition of ”Finland’s most therapeutic live feed”.

To be clear, when I suggest that people sign up to be election pollworkers, I'm not trying to be flippant. I'm dead serious. It's a vital civic service where you help your neighbors vote. And you learn an absolute *ton* about how elections actually work, as well as meet the officials who run them.

Earlier this year, I met a Croatian journalist who was in the US doing a piece on America’s politics and I asked her what surprised her. And she said, “What you all call the far left is just being normal.”

This isn't a closing election argument, it's Vidkun Quisling explaining why surrender is better than resistance.

Just gonna remind everyone on How to Apologize.
I have seen some half-assed apologies lately.
It is not a complete apology without making amends and a commitment to do better.

A charity is gaining momentum pushing for state-subsidised diners to be reintroduced across the UK to improve access to affordable, healthy, and climate-friendly food.
Not everyone is convinced, however, that there's a chance in the current political climate.

What if dinner was public infrastructure?
A Scottish charity wants to reintroduce state-subsidised diners for all—potentially a big ask in the current political climate.

We’re in dark times already, but the stakes are growing exponentially day by day.
So it’s a good time for a reminder for all of us: performative vs. effective solidarity approaches.
Everyone needs this reminder, especially when we already “know” - the heat of the moment can make us forget.
