Anyone want to help me figure something out? I picked up a temple rubbing at an estate sale last year. It's of a pretty big carving of Skanda riding into battle. I found a similar panel at Angkor Wat but it doesn't match. It's probably from Cambodia or Thailand. #art #arthistory #cambodia #asia

Working at a research university means there’s an equal chance the person passing you in the parking lot with a giant squishmallow Pikachu seatbelted in the front seat could either be a patient or a world renowned pathologist.

Honestly need to do this to give Temura Morrison another shot at Boba.

Mandalorian and Grogu looks…really good actually! I don’t care if it links into a larger story, I just want it to be a damn blast and so far it looks like it will deliver.

Me: My water main has a leak, I need help!
Allstate: You're in good hands! *does insurance things*
Also Allstate: Your house is too risky now, we're going to drop your coverage.

New chapter: I’m looking for a comms role (higher ed, nonprofit, corporate, freelance). I’ve built a career on resilience, clear communication, and delivering results. Time to use that energy in a healthier workplace. Leads appreciated!

I love how @moment is just like “you and I both know what it looks like, so fuck it, wanna pre order a case before Apple even announces the phone?”

I just discovered Cultflix, and now I want to do a Red Letter Media/Best of the Worst-style series. Who's in?

Cabinet of curiosities. Even though life has shrunk down, it’s nice to add a little bit of myself in this tiny space.

Good morning to everyone who drinks too much coffee, yet somehow not enough.

Twenty minutes into #alienearth and it’s hitting more philosophical notes about AI and consciousness than Ridley Scott did in two movies.

Driving over the speed limit in the middle lane this morning and a Nissan Frontier felt the need to pull up alongside me and scream during rush hour.

My guy.

I Don't Care About Benchmarks—This Prompt Is How I Test LLMs and ChatGPT 5 Failed Numbers don’t lie, but they don’t tell the whole story either.

For anyone over-relying on ChatGPT: don't.

@scalzi.com randomly came across your iPad road test article while drifting away from work and towards a rabbit hole. Have you played with any of the iPadOS26 betas and, if so, do you think any of it positively affects your outlook on using the iPad?

Hey @audible maybe don't make this the norm.

How’s your Friday going? I’m playing chess with a redneck brontosaurus on chess.com.

My exes' profile just popped up on Bumble. She has a whole diatribe about how she hates IKEA, which makes me wonder if the one time we went there in 2016 was the reason we divorced.

Old people admit the 45 Gen Z and Alpha slang words they secretly love ​"I love using Sus and Sketch and my kids hate me for it."

I totally said Milky Way, like a poser haha.

I went down a rabbit hole while writing this, but I wonder why they haven't released any high-rez photos of Uranus. I want to stare at crazy gas planets damn it!

I remember learning about Pluto in school. It was a blue ball at the ass end of the Milky Way.

This little guy is WAY more fascinating and beautiful than we've thought for ages.

What a time to be alive that these books are #2 and 3 on my library's most-read Libby books

Battery is right at 80% and there’s an issue with my lightning connector, but that’s $100 tops at the Genius Bar.

For the first time in kind of a long time, I’m looking at my iPhone 13 Pro and not seeing a really good reason to upgrade. Sure better camera and whatnot, but I have actual cameras. Apple Intelligence? I’m using Perplexity. Have I finally hit gadget Nirvana 🧘‍♂️

@lydiaetc.bsky.social Hey! I saw your post over on X re: Business Insider pitches. I don't use X anymore so I figured I'd drop a line over here! Super interested in pitching and working with you!

Is this wind the collective howl of people who over-rely on ChatGPT realizing it's currently down?

Honestly I'd love if Apple let you select the default AI engine you work with, because I'd prefer using #Perplexity instead of #ChatGPT. I understand why it's locked in right now though, since they're extremely task-focused. But it will be a nice thing to see in future updates. #appleevent

Local audio capture? Hold up.

iPadOS update Finally gives you desktop clutter. That's it, I'm done watching, that's all I wanted.
