Regardless of anyone’s views on anything, it’s so, so funny that every Cuomo endorsement is like “I despise this man with every atom in my being. And yet…”

Wake up nerds, the first images from the Rubin Observatory just dropped! Rubin’s specialty: a wide field of view and speed. This gorgeous image of the Trifid and Lagoon Nebulae combines 678 exposures taken in 7 hours. 📸: RubinObs/NOIRLab/SLAC/NSF/DOE/AURA

Second year in a row I got really excited about the NBA draft then felt completely deflated when I remembered they now spread it over two days

Some people get into journalism because they’re skeptical of power, and others do so because they’re impressed by it. Moments like this are clarifying with respect to who’s who.

Re: a number of major things going on in the world right now, I think "I can't support this because I'm worried about the long-term effect this will have on people" is a perfectly valid and sufficient position to hold.

I can't fathom someone wanting war. My brain can't process it. In one million years I couldn't understand someone who thinks that way. No amount of speaking with someone who thinks that way could help me understand.

she doesn't know that everything is bad and only getting worse

This is your reminder that nothing human-made is inevitable and you hereby have all the permission you need to reject bad/harmful social, technological, and political paradigms and to work toward something better.

As a former educator I understand that I’m protective of the sphere, but few things grind my gears as much as “the education sector is slow to adopt new technologies.” Educators are responsible for formative developmental years. They shouldn’t be experimented with.

The clarity of @mmasnick.bsky.social: "Most people aren’t looking for a debating arena. They want to talk with people they like about topics they care about—whether that’s knitting, local politics, or professional interests." www.techdirt.com/2025/06/20/c...

I'm honestly kind of stunned how many people I've seen post the same assessment of AI: "It's incredible and will undoubtedly eliminate jobs, but it could never eliminate *my* job"

This is why serious UX designers never talk about "delight" - it's not actionable in any meaningful way. There are always much more specific ways of expressing something that would be delightful to your audience, once you understand them enough to actually delight them.

One thing I feel that I'm curious if others feel: This sense that, in the absence of principled leadership, people are offloading proxy grievances onto anyone they can get a hold of to direct their anger *somewhere*

This is such a funny framing. What does it matter lol the *players* aren't all from Canada

Sometimes we don’t have much of a choice in businesses we use. Banks, phone companies, utility providers etc. There are however many instances in which we do. I wish more people would shun businesses who are frequently shown to behave poorly. We have more power than we sometimes think.

Early game translations get a bad rap, but nothing has ever been translated to be this hard since Final Fantasy Tactics (and even the retranslation isn't as good)

how's that rebrand going?

I love that a politician can say something like “I believe mice naturally spawn out of grain” and the news will now just treat that as a legitimate line of thought

Man I am such a sucker for a hand-numbered thing. Whose hand? No idea. Who cares. Doesn't matter. They wrote on this, to me personally.

1. I ALWAYS framed it like this to my students. Why include a seemingly unimportant detail? 2. I just had a conversation about the “so-and-so is acting out because they’re too smart” reasoning. Thing is, in most cases: It isn’t true! They’re worthy of help, but not because they’re “too smart”

This is very well said. “Bubble” and “echo chamber” is just a pejorative way to say “community.”

one of the underlying assumptions in student assignment at chicago public schools is the space utilization formula i was just having this conversation with a friend - we could build different assumptions in like having a cost neutral room for parent resources, a room for counseling to be private

A very informative approach when you catch yourself in a debate: Asking the other person, “What would you need to see to change your mind?”

personally i am really enjoying life in the web3 metaverse, which is real and happened

My most boomer-coded opinion is that things used to be good and now they are bad

THIS NIGHTMARE WILL BE IN FULL COLOR

Absolutely love this Behind the music clip

the more this goes on the more I am convinced that one of the most important things in the entire world is art, fucking human made art.

Weizenbaum was right. thetech.com/issues/105/16

Don’t ever forget every single human deserves human rights and there’s no other qualifications you need to bring up on that matter

I have been logged out of my toothbrush.

New slogan for tech just dropped.

Olympic gymnast Simone Biles has called former US college swimmer Riley Gaines "sick" for mocking a social media post about a high school softball team with a trans player.

Kat’s playbook is dizzyingly simple: 1. Focus only modestly on fundraising 2. Have and defend authentic positions about people’s well-being 3. Bait pundits into amplifying those positions 4. Reach the most likely voters with minimal funds What’s more genuine: An ad or an interview?

Serious question: To what end? What would be the outcome of this?

“I’m just going to say it, shame on any of us who throws a trans child under the bus for thinking they’re going to get elected. That child deserves our support. Don’t worry about the pollsters calling it distractions, because we need to be the party of human dignity.”
