The way capitalism backs us into a corner where we start to see scale and speed as goals is so depressing

I cannot be the only person thinking about how Surya Bonaly was treated for doing the same back flips on the ice that these white boys are getting applauded for at the Olympics today

The Winter Olympics really is the best show about stuff I never want to ever do

y'all they got the Air Force patrolling the subway. This is literally the opposite of where they should be

"Chappell, do you have any questions?"

*Me looking up from 37 open tabs about Samantha Guthrie's mom*

Peak 2026 energy is spending your day talking about AI against your will and then coming home to an email that the chair of your art school had to resign because he was in the Epstein files

some days at work I reach a point where if one more person talks to me about AI, I'm going to make them donate to a charity of my choosing

A minimalist black-and-white illustration of a human and a humanoid robot facing each other in profile. The robot’s head and torso show stylized circuitry and mechanical details, while the human figure is smooth and organic, suggesting a face-to-face interaction between artificial intelligence and a person.

I'm trying to find an icon to represent AI that isn't a sparkle or a brain because AI is neither magic nor smart. I searched Noun Project and they recommended this and I have no notes

Right? I think "settings" own the gear

I'm on hour 3 of watching a guy kitbash Gundams out of 90s office desk phones and it's the calmest I've felt in weeks. Humans having weird little hobbies is one of our best features, I'm really glad they never patched out that bug

A Google Images results page showing multiple API-related icons and logos, mostly stylized gears labeled “API,” cloud-and-gear symbols, and network diagrams. The thumbnails come from stock image sites like Shutterstock, Freepik, Adobe Stock, and Icons8, arranged in a grid under the heading “Images.”

so we really never got around to coming up with a universal visual representation of API did we

A warmly lit kitchen with dark wood cabinets and a small built-in breakfast nook. A yellow laminate counter extends into a two-seat table set with bowls, placemats, and mugs. Recessed lights are set into a wood-trimmed soffit overhead, and a wall-mounted yellow rotary phone hangs beside a stainless steel oven. The space features earth tones, clean lines, and vintage details.

The 1970s really had breakfast nooks that the mind cannot comprehend

Screenshot of a news article paragraph with several blue hyperlinks. The text states that on February 3, President Donald Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that he planned to call Guthrie about what he described as a “terrible” situation involving her missing mother. It adds that Trump vowed to support federal agencies assisting in the investigation into Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance, which is being considered a possible kidnapping or abduction.

I'd let that go straight to voicemail

tbh AI doesn't bother me nearly as much as dishonesty. My kingdom for us to just be honest about our motivations

Now that I'm really digging into and studying metadata for AI governance I feel like I'm losing my mind. There is SO MUCH that can be done to control AI models and so many people building this stuff care very little about it.

it's wild how everything interesting on Twitter is *still* lifted from a few weirdos keeping the lights on at Tumblr

True growth is realizing just how much High Fidelity is not a rom com, it is a horror film about the Worst Man who didn't deserve a happy ending

y'all sometimes I think I'm running out of things to think about

whoever decided we should refer to it as "burning" CDs knew the importance of making things sounds cool as hell

hey fam, I don't know if it's the cabin fever setting in but I couldn't remember the term "dry run" and I almost asked someone at work if they wanted to "raw dog" the deck

A tweet from user iamchriscoroo. It says: If that groundhog see his shadow Monday he going on the grill

get the charcoal babes

Interior of a compact car with a playful, toy-like design. The dashboard, steering wheel, gear shift, and door handles are brightly colored in blue, teal, yellow, and red, with rounded shapes and oversized buttons. The upholstery features a patterned fabric, giving the cabin a whimsical, late-1990s concept-car aesthetic.

Imagine breaking up with someone in the MCC Smart Eco-Speedster Concept Car (1993)

ah I can see the combination of cabin fever from 10 straight days of below freezing temps plus a new drop of Epstein files is something that people are handling in a perfectly normal way

yeah I look forward to everyone realizing that 99% of this isn't tenable so that what we're left with is something actually maybe useful

This is exciting and very important! This was also the seat held by Barbara Jordan, the first southern Black woman elected to the House 💜

definitely but the cool thing about being a solvent company is that time isn't your enemy

Everyone has clowned on Google's AI attempts, but I can't help but think the people who basically made the semantic web what is are the most likely to win the AI race when it comes to knowing what good content looks like and how content actually freaking works on a basic level

I'll be logging off now, thanks
