I am obsessed with the Brazilian porcupine Rico, so we drove down to Cincinatti for my birthday to meet him. 5 out of 5 stars.

This is Tellen. She went to work with her human today. The only agenda item on her calendar is dropping toys in the hallway until someone plays with her. 14/10

An LA organizer I trust shared this General Resource Spreadsheet with me. It includes nonofficial shelters and other resources for people affected by the LA fires.

I see the light. I'm going to mine small data for a living and get back down to the things that really matter. Maybe I'll pull some 32 mb microdiscs from the closet so I can dream smaller. youtu.be/eDr6_cMtfdA?... Thanks, @krazam.bsky.social.

This is why discovery research can save you more money than evaluative or summative research combined, but you'll never know it because that is how avoiding big mistakes entirely works.
Don't think there is a better illustration of AI-in-everything-whether-we-want-it-or-not than an AI bro buying an AI toy for his child who played with it for a bit and then seemed singularly unimpressed with the AI and turned it off.
He keeps turning it back on, and she keeps turning it off.

Pro tip: if you are prone to motion sickness and own an iPhone, go into accessibility settings and enable vehicle motion cues. It’ll add dots to the sides of your screen when it detects you’re in a car.
Usually if I’m on my phone in the car, I’ll feel motion sick but this actually worked for me.
