I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

I would watch the crap out of this.

Gently: instead of whatabouting the Kimmel thing, you can use the win to motivate people who are new to collective action.

Don’t punish behavior you want to see, especially if you want to see more of it.

When I got out of work last night, there was a notification on my phone that my hold on @tkingfisher.com's Hemlock and Silver had come up. So I hit borrow but it was a long week so I didn't start it until this morning. I just finished it. The dedication especially made me smile.

José was one of my professors for my MFA and was on my thesis committee. Going to go ahead and say this is worth a read.

“IP law is increasingly a one-way system of rich over not, as Internet Archive found out.”

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

PREACH!

That's part of what burns me. I'd be less salty about every single LLM including the entirety of my legal blog (via Common Crawl) if Internet Archive hadn't been held liable for lending out single-copy scans of books it owns. That's not a coherent system, that's "big money always wins."

Getting lost in Jeffrey Epstein file is that Pam Bondi was the Attorney General of Florida (2011 to 2019) when Epstein was running his child sex ring in Florida. What is in the Epstein files about Pam Bondi? Did she protect Epstein as Florida AG?!! Did she protect Trump? More reasons we need file!

Probably asked ChatGPT to make it for them.

The things I miss by staying off social media...

I cannot express how much I adore the teas from Friday Afternoon Tea. Their wide range of delicious decaf teas mean I can enjoy something hot and tasty with breakfast. Bonus points if you like nerdy stuff, too, because they carry some incredible fandom blends.

The incident was five days ago??? And I'm getting an alert now? This gets more and more inane. Go to hell and step on every lego brick ever made on your way there, whomever decided to send this out.

And for that matter, why can I turn off Amber Alerts but not blue? if I'm going to be forced to care, it should be about a missing kid, not a cop. Especially in a city 4 hours away. Fuck off.

In the wake of the flooding in Kerr county and the lack of adequate alerts there, I can not emphasize how little I fucking care about a blue alert. Shit like this is why people have their alerts turned off.

One of my city's nicknames is Military City, USA. I'm worried about what is going to happen to all my international students. I've seen it get ugly here before.

Same.

Ooh need to spend some time with the resources here.

Tornado warning! We'll see if the 1604 barrier holds. Usually things break up when they hit the heat island of the city. Pouring rain, but not hearing any hail, thankfully.

this is how I’m envisioning the musk trap

Luddites weren't anti-tech.

They were against technology being used by the capitalist class to capture wealth at the expense of the worker.

I am a Luddite, and a tech enthusiast. They're not in opposition. I want technology that makes MY life better, not that sells my life piecemeal to corps.

Wrath month!

Similarly, my doctor gets to know that my period is regular and normal. No need for dates unless I'm there specifically to talk about that. I trust her, but records can be seized.

<3 Well there's one bit of good news.

Repost with your first crush.

Was gonna marry her.

“just because something is really stupid and evil doesn’t mean it can’t hurt you” seems to be a frighteningly poorly understood concept right now
