Diego’s (my all time favorite summer shoe) mails their espadrilles in little paper bags. It’s so smart.

My aunt Eilish: “No job is that important. The Pope died and there was a new Pope two weeks later.” Gonna cross stitch it on a pillow honestly

No cops at Pride includes the cop in your head who tells you to police other queer people. Learn the difference between being uncomfortable and being harmed. Deal with your discomfort on your own time. Pride is for the community, not just you.

This is rad as hell. I’ve been learning tapestry this year, and it’s a wonderfully different way of creating art.

This is a huge part of why I think people with IA skills are so essential to DDD. We are good at identifying conceptual duplication and showing the tradeoffs of fixes.

June is bustin’ out all over, all over the meadow and the hill, All the bugs’n’ out of bushes and the rum an river rishes, and all the little wheels that wheel beside a bill. And the did of the bridger and the did a the bejeepers outta all the morning glories o’er the fez! youtu.be/Mrma76T5Wa4?...

Man, just looking through 50 watts’ homepage, every single one is a total banger. This might be the easiest shortcut to good presents I’ve ever found.

Just saw a comedian say "If vaccines caused autism then America would have trains" and I almost spit out my drink.

“What AI is is an ideology—a system of ideas that has swept up not only the tech industry but huge parts of government on both sides of the aisle, a supermajority of everyone with assets in the millions and up, and a … growing sector of the journalism class.” aworkinglibrary.com/writing/tool...

Hi! We just released three new pages. First up, we break down the devastating defunding of medical research in the US, including grant terminations and delays representing nearly $5B in funding losses, cuts to future funding, and attacks on training programs: unbreaking.org/issues/medic...

Mandy goddamned Brown on “artificial intelligence,” everyone: aworkinglibrary.com/writing/tool...

I see this fallacy almost every day, in tech and politics: 1. There is a problem 2. We believe that our solution will fix the problem 3. We built the solution 4. Therefore the problem is now fixed Bitch, no. You have to check. Let's talk about leading and trailing indicators.

This season of TASKMASTER has this weird added layer of tension because I adore Mantzoukas and am like "oh god he is the first representing AMERICA, this is such a huge responsibility, and HOW IS THIS COMING OFF TO BRITS!?!??!?! ARE THEY GETTING HIM!!?!?!?"

To expand a little: I was raised by small to medium time criminals, who were bizarrely dedicated to perpetrating continual small cons. I dealt with this in a very cliche way, by becoming a Rules Person.

ooooo while i was submerged working on intertwingler, it appears @theiaconf.bsky.social put my talk up: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FjF...

Give the 8 a bus lane you cowards

I really enjoyed this, it codifies a lot of things I've sort of been noodling on about collaborating with other disciplines, especially engineering.

Hell yeah. Here's my manifesto: close reading for all. On Sigrid Nunez, and Karl Ove Knausgaard, and Erich Auerbach, and why close reading is an answer to AI. Thanks to @brandyjensen.bsky.social, rockstar editor, who rules. For @defector.com defector.com/close-readin...

This is a very good thread. I don’t drive and basically played a game of chicken, betting we wouldn’t have any emergencies come up until my kid was big enough to legally use a booster seat. Now I can put him in a cab using a very nifty vest.

One of the all time best

As someone with a BA in English, I’m embarrassed to admit that it kind of hadn’t occurred to me that it was common to graduate with that degree without being able to do this.
