If you had a deer, you would say it was part yote (yotes look like half deer)

One of my favorite cross-cultural things is that everyone looks at their regional funny not-dog and automatically assumes "trickster spirit."

The five pumpkin spices grow only in tiny pockets around the world and can't really be cultivated in the US. To see how global prices would be affected by tariffs, Michael McDonough, Bloomberg's chief economist of products and the man behind the bacon, egg and cheese index, built a pumpkin spice index using several sets of international data, some of which he'd never seen before: "Who knew there was an intraday futures price for cloves?"

On Trans Day of Remembrance, My Grief is My Power | ACLU As the trans community remembers those we’ve lost, I find strength in understanding why the grievous injustices that continue to harm our community must be stopped.

On this Transgender Day of Remembrance, we mourn those whose lives were lost to anti-trans violence.

We honor those we lost by continuing our fight for justice.

Me neither. All of the headlines today baffled me. Permanently deleted labor statistics and the end of the endangered species act. So pissed

YouTube video by Eddy Burback ChatGPT made me delusional

It's all very bad. This video does a great job showing how an LLM can feed a person's most delusional thoughts. This was on a more friendly model (that people loved btw!), but it's not hard to make the new ones do similar things. Scary stuff.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

Maybe Don’t Talk to the New York Times About Zohran Mamdani It’s remarkable, the people you’ll hear from. Teach for even a little while at an expensive institution—the term they tend to prefer is “elite”—and odds are that eventually someone who was a studen…

I havent read such a banger of an essay in a very long time. This is so well-written!

Every actual quote I hear about the sandwich trial is what I imagine the trial of the Hamburglar would sound like when he finally got hit with those RICO charges.

Remember when Aaron Swartz downloaded JSTOR archives that he had full legal rights to download and the FBI hounded him literally to death for it? Anyway,

Meme graphic where news anchor asks: Where does this government shutdown end? Senator Warren responds: I think it ends when Donald trump tells the republicans “okay, sit down now and negotiate.” They don’t do anything without Donald Trump…it’s as if they have all had their spines surgically removed.

Here’s how the government shutdown ends.

I appreciated the hell out of this

I didn't see in the article where she did that but honestly, I don't know most of these people and don't think much of the ones I do recognize. Social media has fed me Joe Lycett and Taylor Tomlinson and that is about the limit of my comedic input

Anyone of them could donate their earnings to a gay rights org

Former USAID official here.

The current Administration has done zero impact analysis to estimate the effects of its obliteration of USAID on deaths around the world.

It just keeps saying "no one has died" as a mesmeric incantation.

The facts, below. 🧵

all of these videos are horrifying. what feels so singularly striking and scary to me in all of them is the individual seething contempt and rage of these agents
