To everyone pushing "AI", I wish you a very always having sand in your underwear everything tastes like rotten fish always feeling like you're chewing on aluminum foil day
SPEAKING OF
I have a very distant memory of my great grandmother having these dry crunchy cookies in her house with large sugar crystals on top but it was not mandel bread and the shape was kind of like an elephant ear but also wasn’t rugelah and I’ve never seen it in a Jewish deli so … ????
Reminds me of my new startup idea:
A graveyard where we bury you upright to save space
Phase 2? We liquefy you and pump you deep underground using directional drilling. We'll have budget options and spooky options (pump you under your enemy's house)
I'm in Maui and a Trump-bedecked boat like this pulled up within 100 yards of a rocky beach and blared shitty music, obviously to draw attention. Life guards went out on seadoos to tell them to move back.
When your whole political identity is being an asshole
The nephew is currently devastated and his life is over he will never experience joy again because his father sent a text saying he was trying to buy him a piranha for his birthday and then sent a correction 3 min later that it was actually pinata
I've shed a lot of my Okie accent etc but I still say howdy and nod at people in a friendly way. I grew up saying it like you would "hi" or "hello", but a lot of folks I meet nowadays interpret it literally as "how do you do?" and they just say "good". That causes my brain to stutter every time
He was…. less than pleased that they didn’t call first. The students had been carrying —among other things— hundred year old bottles of ether and cans of picric acid with corroded lids.
Hit a seemingly intractable problem at work where one of our devs spent an inordinate amount of time reverse engineering a previous employee's code, only to find that an arbitrary limit was too low
Also (don't tell anyone) a lot of times devs are just completely guessing at limits. "What should we set this to? Eh, seven is a good number, I like seven"
To focus a bit less on despair, happy #FossilFriday! It's my last day visiting the Field Museum collections, so of course I had to visit the museum's new Archaeopteryx! Archaeopteryx is considered the first bird, and is an important transitional fossils showing that birds are derived dinosaurs! 🧪⚒️
Whichever it is it fucking sucks. Pulling my kids into the bathroom, actual poop leaking out, then finding there's only a narrow patch of pee-slicked urinal space to even theoretically change a diaper.... transitioning to sheepishly telling my wife she'll have to do it because of ~*the way it is*~
Also reminds me of March 2020 when MSNBC had an epidemiologist on and @chrislhayes.bsky.social asked him "how bad could this pandemic get" and the guy (who plainly and blessedly had no media training) said "well the Black Death wiped out one third of humanity so idk pretty bad"
The OK state superintendent who just mandated a bible in every classroom hired Chaya Raichik shortly after she sicced her mob on a Tulsa school librarian to expunge "woke ideology" from OK school libraries. www.koco.com/article/okla...
Not often folks get to say this … but today I met one of my heroes and gave a talk on my PhD research at the pulsar timing conference, in front of her.
This absolute legend is a wonderfully warm human, and changed our understanding of the Universe forever with her discovery in 1967.
