Grace Slick later said that she felt the band sold out when they became "Jefferson Starship" and started seeking pop hits.

I've visited San Francisco, Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston, and London.

I would love to live in London. I could get around on the tube and bus with ease, and there's small grocery stores everywhere. SF is second in that regard, just because of all the cool people there.

I work in procurement and our vendors have been rolling out AI systems and... it has been a disaster. The AI gets everything wrong and I have to navigate a labyrinthian telephone menu to get to a human to fix it.

This has big "We'll colonize the moon in 10 years!" Musk energy.

We just found out our AI has been making up
analytics data for 3 months and I'm gonna
throw up.

So we've been using an Al agent since November to
answer leadership questions about metrics. It seemed
amazing at first fast answers, detailed explanations,
everyone loved it.
I just found out it's been hallucinating numbers this
entire time.
Our VP of sales made territory decisions based on
data that didn't exist. Our CFO showed the board a
deck with fake insights. The Al was just inventing
plausible sounding percentages.
I only caught it by accident when someone asked me
to double check something. I started digging, and
holy shit, it's bad.

Kid me figured out how to fast-forward certain tracks on the 8-Track to get back to "Crocodile Rock," which was my favorite song on her Elton John greatest hits album. I played it over and over again in the car on the way to/from school.

we just rolled out an experimental integration with @germnetwork.com, an E2E encrypted chat app that integrates with atproto.

Germ users can add a button to their profile so others can message them from Bluesky.

we're exploring ways to connect your profile with other apps in the Atmosphere.

This weekends storm will bring an excessive rainfall risk to many across the central and southern U.S., Friday through Sunday.

A marginal risk (level 1 of 4) for excessive rainfall and flash flooding is in place today and Sunday. A slight risk (level 2 of 4) is in place on Saturday.

I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.

Meta’s internal memo said the political tumult in the United States was good timing for the feature’s release.

β€œWe will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns,” according to the document from Meta’s Reality Labs, which works on hardware including smart glasses.

this is comically evil. brazenly anti-social. just absolute black-pilled nihilism. we will not have a republic, we will not be free, until we regulate these companies to the point where β€” at a bare minimum β€” they're too afraid to put stuff like this down on paper.

NEW: Oklahoma regulators discovered strong signs of oil pollution, including high levels of salt and toxic metals, in one family’s drinking water.

But for two years, they repeatedly delayed basic tests to find the culprit β€” then closed the case.

Can a woman not just cook for a man without expecting a man to take care of her entire livelihood?

Can a man just not be a labor-digger and cook his own food like an adult?

A man can do that, but if that's the case, then he has no use for you if you're not willing to take certain burdens away from a man, he won't be with you. He will just find another.

I remember the Biggs scenes from the GIANT Star Wars comic books. Then I saw the Biggs scenes a few years after Star Wars was released.

I still have the Star Wars comic about Luke flying his sky hopper with Biggs and others to kill a womp rat nest.

Just watched the Biggs Cut with my wife. Deeply satisfying. I completely get why 80% of Biggs was cut from the final film, BUT if you don't care about pacing and are just interested in character development, SO MUCH ABOUT LUKE ONLY MAKES SENSE IF YOU KNOW ABOUT HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH BIGGS
