Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

I appreciate that article because people need to know that AI search results are garbage but the fact that the author was so surprised is a little discouraging. So many people have been tricked into thinking LLMs should be good at things they’re 100% not designed to be good at!

I have a lot of science and news on my Bluesky feed. I need more books, art, and comedy.

Suggestions welcome!

Folks if they’re following 20k people - this is a scam. Block block block. Do not follow back. Just block them. No human can keep up with 20k accounts.

Talking to people right now is so wild.

“You okay?”
“Nope. You?”
“Nope.”

Agnes Martin is an amazing painter and I wanted one of her paintings as a print. None of the one I wanted exist as far as I can tell. So I decided I’d just make my own. Except, I made something completely different along the way. And I love it. Thank you, Agnes, for being an inspiration. #funaday

Folks I created a blocklist for these aggregator accounts for a reason. Please stop also screenshoting them so they don’t infect our timelines.

I seen a screen shot going around about Netflix from an account called DiscussingFilm. I could be misremembering but I thought that account occasionally posted completely fictional stories.

Health insurance industry PR is working overtime right now diverting blame to physicians for claim denials and rising costs. I feel compelled to remind everybody that Optum (UHC) is the largest employer of physicians in the US. We have never had less power in healthcare than we do right now.

@hankgreen.bsky.social literally just posted a video* on the topic on his personal (not vlogbrothers) channel. (Tagging him in because he might be interested in the thread, therefore.)

Blocking anyone who is mildly sus immediately and without particular emotional engagement is obviously the best way to go but once in a while it would be nice to have a block option that ALSO produces an animation of the profile being flushed down a toilet or maybe the text melting gruesomely away
