It's so funny how we all have a device with capabilities such as "Essentially Infinite Knowledge" and "More Art Than You can Ever Appreciate" but the people who make the device and its software only ever want us to use the "Brain Disintegrator 3000" and "Involuntary Mass Surveillance Node" functions

The first (1955) Danish edition of Ray Bradbury’s FAHRENHEIT 451. Later editions did not convert the title, so this is the only SI-compatible edition! 🎢

G1 tbm ta noticiando de maneira acrítica que 78 de 99 tinham "histórico criminal".

1º, e daí? Não existe justificativa legal para matar quem teve alguma condenação / prisão.

2º, então você tá me dizendo que 21 não tinham qualquer histórico. Mesmo na lógica bizarra da direita, 21 de coalteral é ok?

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

🇧🇷Bem-te-vi
🌎Pitangus sulphuratus
Conservação:Pouco Preocupante

O bem-te-vi é uma ave passeriforme da família dos Tiranídeos

📷 Rudimar Cipriani

Um pássaro de plumagem predominantemente amarela, com dorso e asas marrons, empoleirado em um galho. Sua cabeça apresenta uma faixa preta acima dos olhos, e uma crista amarela vibrante se destaca. O bico é escuro e pontudo, e o olhar parece direcionado para um conjunto de flores vermelhas vibrantes à sua esquerda. O fundo é um borrão verde, sugerindo folhagem exuberante.

They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.

A man at a fancy hat store in Santa Fe, on finding out we were a group of ornithology students: "I like roadrunners, but I worry about them. They seem to have a lot of angst."

This is, of course, entirely true, but rarely so directly stated.

do you ever have things that someone has said to you that live forever in your head (non-serious edition)? some older boomer hippie guy said “hahmmus gives you fahts” to me 26 years ago at a free fridge and i think of it every fucking single time i buy hummus to this day.

And people say the British press doesn't know anything about Ireland. They got this scoop, didn't they.

“You’re one of the good ones” is a terrifying sentiment because it means “I at some level think I am an arbiter of your social value” and, well, who asked you buddy

Musa Okwonga @okwonga.bsky.social · 7d

Very revealing that several Germans have got in touch to say that their chancellor’s comments about migrants were not directed at me. First of all, that would imply I shouldn’t care. Secondly, to imply that non-white races are inherently more likely to commit crime is an attack on *all* migrants.

I was just thinking today about the start that the date where most children get killed by cars is Halloween. Which is clearly an argument for no cars on Halloween, but that's not how it's seen..

Charlotte Lydia Riley @lottelydia.bsky.social · 10d

“This letter gets right to the heart of debates about children’s right to play and their right to the street. It ignores the fact that cars have encroached onto streets, which had previously been regarded as social spaces, not the other way round”.

I am just a little bit of a media historian, but I've read enough to say that I think this has a pretty easy explanation: there was a time where if you wanted to be a movie exec you had to socially succeed with other movie people; now you have to socially succeed with finance and tech bros.

David and Larry Ellisons’ sloptastic vision for Hollywood is coming into focus:

“Paramount has reportedly signed a $200M+ multiyear deal for Higgsfield AI to use mass-use Popcorn AI model that ingests dailies and script notes, then outputs regional cuts: new leads, alternate jokes, revised endings”
