It's so exhausting. You think you get the respect of your (male) peers only to find they join in on trashing you as soon as they're alone

Oh thank God - I thought Tom Servo hit hard times and sold out

we couldn't use government funds to buy coffee (like, folgers ground coffee) when i worked on a CDC outbreak emergency response

It's "those dumb federal employees are a waste of space" but from the left

A million times this

I'm glad I set myself a minimum to donate if the Patriots are going to play like that

So openAI's commercial about Codex featuring science and tech didn't include any women because we're all too smart to use AI, right?

I actually agree that there is going to be a skill gap between people who regularly use AI vs those who refuse to use it, and it's that after the bubble pops the refusers will be fine while the AI-dependent will be missing or have let atrophy basic skills

Cake week will be lit next season!

I love supporting independent journalism and creators, but relying on a Substack/Patreon model to fund everyone isn't practical unless we all suddenly get Catherine de Medici rich

If that does happen, I call dibs on the poison gloves, but until then we need real investment in independent media

My grandma grew up on a dairy farm and there's a reason she said absolutely TF not to going back after meeting my grandfather in WWII. Moving 500 miles away to his people in the city at a time when that meant almost never seeing your family again was better than living with the cow shit

I have been told for ten years that calling your representatives is very important and makes a big difference, and I'll be honest, I have not seen an ounce of evidence to support that in the behavior of congress

Behold the logistical supremacy of @thebugle.bsky.social with my voluntary subscription reward showing up on #NationalPuzzleDay

1000 pieces is appropriate for those of us with the patience to endure 18 years of pun runs

A black dog on a grey couch, resting her head on a pair of running shoes

Gretchen thinks you should consider stealing shoes to rest your head on because it always helps her feel better

A world of pure imagination. So thrilled we've decided to tank the environment and world economy for this

There was a chance for a real discussion on whether new companies were at a disadvantage compared to the legacy designers and how best to handle that.
When your backers are all the tech bros who are happy to pull the profit ladder up behind them, it's clear you don't really want THAT discussion

High five - I ate the rest of the Christmas candy they thought was already gone while mine (14 and 9) did the same
Did they do a perfect job? No.
Am I freezing cold right now? Also no, so I win

i hate living in the second act of CABARET. i miss living in the first act of CABARET

A new ope.

can I just get clarification on who "we" is in this sentence, because it seems to me that the person who invented the resource-guzzling shit extruder and profits from the resource-guzzling shit extruder is surely the one who needs to come up with a purpose for the resource-guzzling shit extruder.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Nor is your professor obligated to let you use the ideal gas law for a liquid, even if you state it in your assumptions up front as I sadly found out in undergrad

I want a TV with worse resolution so I stop seeing how awful the weather is for the NE/Texans game

Best Patriots post season QB since Brady

Or you could, you know, stop funding the death police altogether and start charging everyone with the crimes they are blatantly committing in broad daylight on video for the world to see?

This bridge is part of my family's insult collection - if anyone gets too whiny, someone inevitably says "ok, Trenton"
It's fun to see which outsiders get the reference and which are confused

For years I would constantly tweet and tweet and retweet about politics. I didn’t help a single person doing that. It just eroded my mental health a little every day. I promise that actually DOING something, even one small thing, feels a lot better than reposting a million memes.

Endoscopist deskilling risk after exposure to artificial intelligence in colonoscopy: a multicentre, observational study Continuous exposure to AI might reduce the ADR of standard non-AI assisted colonoscopy, suggesting a negative effect on endoscopist behaviour.
