earlier, my wife sent me this picture

a small gray and black cat has his head being shoved by a large black and gray cat's hind leg. The two are tangled together.

can’t tell if my antidepressants aren’t working or if they just weren’t built for this. like, zoloft was introduced in the 90s it barely needed to work then. if you got sad you could just buy a house.

It is not accurate to report that “millions will pay double what they are paying now” for health insurance. That is impossible. Those millions cannot afford to pay that and will not do what they cannot do. Millions of Americans do NOT HAVE an extra $1,200/ month just lying around.

this is very cool: Kodak quietly relisted Kodak Gold and Ultramax on its website and confirmed to me it is selling the films directly to photography stores again. this is a big deal because for the last decade, Kodak has not controlled distribution of its own film

Kodak Quietly Begins Directly Selling Kodak Gold and Ultramax Film Again

Kodak appears to be taking back control over the distribution of its film.

I'm so tired of people being shitty about boundaries, and the entitlement of so-called "people in positions of influence". I do not owe you my attention or my knowledge and you don't deserve to see me, especially if you are incapable of discerning the existential threat to humanity that genAI is.

Blocking hatemongers is one thing but this trend of using mass block lists to avoid hearing from people who might or might not hold points of view you expect to disagree with is unhealthy imo and hurts the platform.

Bluesky was better off with folks like Margaret Mitchell and Giada Pistilli on it.

Margaret Mitchell, who was famously fired from Google after co-authoring the seminal "Stochastic Parrots" paper, has been posting on X lately because she is caught up in mass blocklists of AI industry people on Bluesky, making the platform borderline unusable for her.

Here she's on X quote-tweeting fellow AI ethics researcher Giada Pistilli, who is in the same boat.

Pistilli said: I really wanted 🦋 to work, but it looks like I’m on the worst block lists out there. Oh, well.

Mitchell said: I think what many 🦋 Bsky users may be overlooking is that they’re blocking people in positions of influence *who want to listen to them*. As someone influentialish in AI ethics, it’s important for me to know what creators, critics, Luddites, etc., are thinking and seeing.

Mitchell added in a second post: I’m an advocate in tech directly aligned with a lot of their values in the very spaces where decisions that affect them are being made. I need the stats, articles, hot takes…all the deets they can give me so I can be prepared when talking to regulators,academics, techies, etc

Teen Vogue has had more guts to dissect and expose the truth when so many veteran media outlets have bent their knees to a criminal despot and his regime and this news is absolutely appalling and unacceptable

Lex McMenamin (they/them) @leximcmenamin.com · 15h

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Abbott's joke about putting a tariff on people makes sense if you read it in the context of hoping to be able to own people again.

Mark Chadbourn @chadbourn.bsky.social · 15h

They’ve all gone mad.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott: “After the polls close tomorrow night, I will impose a 100% tariff on anyone moving to Texas from NYC.”

looks like battery compartment springs are like $8 on Amazon, other places said wrap a rubber band in tinfoil and seat that crossing the gap.

Might be a good story!
