this is what happens when web search gets broken, y'all. people giving the Wall Street Journal credit for coming up with the ~brilliant~ new idea of group productivity sprints... six years ago lmao. first time I hosted one of these was in like 2015 and I did not claim to be inventing the concept

this has the energy of a post-it note left on the dishwasher after a long, draining argument. FINE, KEVIN, PUT THE TUPPERWARE ON THE BOTTOM RACK AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS

“A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy.” Colombia President Petro: "A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy. To keep Epstein's list from coming out, they send warships to kill fishermen and threaten our neighbor with invasion for their oil. They want to turn the region into another Lybia, full of slaves." A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy democracy in Colombia.

This energy is what the world fucking needs.

this is horrifying. they have been doing this for a long time, but it seems to be getting worse.

I hear it was an eventful game! hope Skinner's okay, I have a particular fondness for him bc he used to be a figure skater and sometimes when he gets bumped into he does a little pirouette to keep his balance lol (also after he did the ice bucket challenge he covered his nipples which was adorable)

hey that's MY sport

tell her I'll go, I'm learning Norwegian

ty!

internet search is SO FUCKED jesus. does anyone know if this egg is okay or if I should toss it? rest of the carton looks normal

things I need to start allowing into my personal Overton window of possibilities in life

it would make it more accurate? I wouldn't consider breaking out a kitchen scale to be simplifying

who tf has the time to wash measuring cups 5 times a day

I've been vaguely meaning to track macros for a few days again (to make sure I'm getting enough protein/potassium, not for purposes of restriction) and I keep putting it off because who tf has the time to count blueberries

I tried to track macros for a class decades ago and it drove me up the wall bc I ate almost exclusively meals made from scratch without measurements for a large family. the poor teacher would be like "well start with how much rice went into the whole pot" and I'd go "you fill it one knuckle deep"

it took at least 3 posts from different people before I realized the "Trump blew Bill Clinton" thing is not just some bizarre joke meme

come for the forecast, stay for the absolutely jawdropping sunrise photo

Blow for OpenAI in Germany as court rules song lyrics used illegally A German court ruled on Tuesday that OpenAI violated copyright on nine popular songs in a lawsuit that marked another attempt to prevent the free use of artists' content online. The Munich Regional Co...

Open AI loses copyright case in Germany.

Judge Elke Schwager summarized the case saying that if you want to build something and need components, "then you purchase them and do not use the property of others."

I wish I'd been aware when I was young that every time an older person blew up at me with "HOW can you POSSIBLY not have heard of [thing]??" they did not mean "you personally are inadequate and should be ashamed" but rather "oh shit is the zeitgeist losing this thing that is important to me"

Have you ever thought, ‘What I really need to survive the dumpster fire that is 2025 is a picture of a puppy racing to show you her pink foam ball’? If so, then today is your lucky day! Enjoy!

the last 10 years of my life have been a gradual realization that the main reason it took me so long to identify my ADHD is that my mother and just about every person I've ever strongly clicked with has also had undiagnosed ADHD and/or autism so I thought all my symptoms were just human condition

lately i've been thinking about how LLMs must feel really amazing to use if you're a dumbass, but incredibly frustrating if you're just basically competent in life.

there are like 4 people in the QTs going "aww, the olden days were so pure" like they really think this shit was sincere XD

I must have missed a roster move lol

I'm pretty cynical about capitalism, but this took me off-guard. are younger people genuinely not even aware of selling out as a concept? I guess it's true that the phrase is less common these days, but I didn't think it was at a "what's a cassette tape grampa" level of obscurity

Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

“Katie was a political unknown facing a million and a half in spending from Bruce Harrell’s allies,” Mr. Mizrahi said. “That tells you something about the level of dissatisfaction with the status quo.” See more on: U.S. Politics, Zohran Mamdani More on Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani

Mamdani is mentioned one (1) time in this article—it says he and Wilson are similar on policy but do not "share a vibe"—and somehow he is in the headline, the tags, and this "more on" section at the end

How to respond to rampant public camping was one of the big policy differences between Ms. Wilson and Mr. Harrell. He promised more crackdowns. She preached a more patient, forgiving approach, which turned off Tom Graff, a real estate agent and commercial property manager in the Belltown district of Seattle. On Thursday, [highlighted text] Mr. Graff said he was willing to give Ms. Wilson a chance — if only because nothing else has worked. [end highlighted text] “I’m going to be optimistic and hope she can be a change maker,” he said.

lmao @ this random real estate agent magnanimously telling the NYT he's ~willing to give Wilson a chance~ on Thursday i.e. today i.e. after she won the election
