Crowdstrike heard all the calls for "general strike" and said "well we fit half the demand but we can do most of the goal" apparently

Returning briefly to say that the ICJ ruling is significantly better than even I expected. Not only was the occupation ruled illegal, but the Court said it constitutes a racial segregationist and apartheid system. The Court advises the world to act. The Court ruled we are entitled to reparations.

Please send good vibes because my work life....took a dive 😐

Lee Jung-Jae had such a top tier Star Wars performance. I'm still in awe of what he managed to accomplish in such a short amount of time. Beyond bringing Sol to life, it seemed like he genuinely enjoyed being part of this universe. What a stellar actor. #TheAcolyte

Star Wars just gave me narratively satisfying food. I AM CONFUSED BUT ALSO WOULD LIKE MORE #RenewTheAcolyte

I just read an article that said "Why is it taking so long for your favorite movies and tv series to air? Blame the writers and actor strikes" No I won't. I'm blaming that ✨single✨ motherfucker at the studio who makes $250 million dollars a year who's one job is supposed to make this shit happen.

The world sucks and things are bad but hey, you know what you can do right now to make things easier on yourself and others? Wear a face mask. We have to be alive to fight back.

No shame in feeling scared, overwhelmed and not knowing what to do. To me feeling one's feelings doesn't preclude taking action. These are confusing times. Give yourself some grace.

slightly less virulent version of brain worms you see on here: people conceding that Palestine is an issue but treating it as simply one among many similarly weighted issues, as if disagreeing with a candidate on genocide is like a disagreement on tax cuts

I imagine those of us who keep talking about the US-backed genocide in Gaza will be increasingly portrayed as crazy or unrealistic in light of Trump but I'll be damned if folks get to peacefully forget what this country is supporting to ease their conscience

The only two pieces of writing advice I consistently give are: 1. Write worse. Lower your standards as much as necessary to get the words on the page. 2. Finish writing before you start editing. It doesn't work for everyone, but it's the only approach that has ever worked for me.

Reminder that Aaron Swartz was facing 35 years in prison and financial devastation for trying to programmatically download and open the contents of JSTOR, which led to him taking his own life. But OpenAI is going to scrape all of academia and make billions by plagiarizing it.

New version of chatbot reaches level of function where it responds to all queries by making a little twisty-wrist gesture with pinched fingers and saying “But isn’t it more *complicated* than that?”

If you or anyone you know needs somewhere to cool off this week, your local public library probably has air conditioning and a water fountain, plenty of books to read, computers, movies, craft supplies, etc.
