Most of the world’s brightest minds are hard at work developing new ways for you to get depression from a computer

I am happy to say the "Followers only" reply setting is getting implemented. We're also adding a way to set default reply settings If you want your posts to default to "Followers only," that'll become an option

An an Aussie, I think our cultural reliance on “she’ll be right” can sometimes be a problem. Because sometimes she isn’t right, actually.

you're panicking about the news, i'm in the lab brewing up whole new kinds of perceived slights and discourses. did you know it's actually rude to not own a blu ray player so your criterion friends can loan you blu rays? well i'm a maladjusted shut in here to tell you it is

bluesky’s public launch was one year ago today

Pro-tip: The key to cleaning up your BlueSky home feed might be the use of the “muted words and tags” in Moderation Settings.

you need some schemes bro. bro it’s time to start plotting. you need some machinations. some mackies bro

It wasn't an "ad hominem". I'm calling you an idiot because your argument sucks, not saying your argument sucks because you are an idiot. Subtle distinction, I know, to understand. Especially for an idiot like you.

Something I want to ditch in 2025: The irrational belief that when bad news breaks about something completely beyond my ability to influence, then it’s selfish to be living my life and otherwise be in a good mood. My leisure time isn’t being bought with someone else’s pain and suffering.

Oh good, just downloaded and installed the update that includes Apple Intelligence on my iPhone and Mac. ... First thing I did was switch it off :)

Ow! My bones are so brittle. But I always drink plenty of... Malk?

Been a while since I posted a cute Echidna, so here you go! Came across this intrepid one at Mulligan's Flat. To get the shot I put my camera up on the log and shot while hiding my face out of view. Got pretty lucky I must say! #echidna #wildoz #australianwildlife

#RecipeOfTheDay is a regular in Casa Lawson: Warm Spiced Cauliflower and Chick Pea Salad! And for all that I call it a salad – not entirely sure why I do, except that’s how I think of it – it is actually rather gorgeously hearty. (And also #vegan, btw) www.nigella.com/recipes/warm...

It's beginning to feel like the most radical thing you can do at the moment is to log off from as much mainstream social media as you can and just read a book.

Going to the gym helped distract me from how we’re witnessing fascism take over America

Making animated movies into live action: tiresome, unnecessary, lame Re-making every classic film into a muppet movie with a single human actor: sophisticated, erudite, revolutionary

What are your reading goals this year? I need to get through those books gathering dust on my shelf that I’ve had for 15+ years and still have yet to read… app.thestorygraph.com/profile/btni...

Conference feelings... the roller coaster

I am a climate scientist and this is correct ⬇️

we're thrilled to share that we've started the year with a new addition to our team! he's extremely smart, capable, charming, persuasive, and boasts a wealth of museum experience

I always check the children’s book section: 1899 edition of Through the Looking Glass for 20cents.

Just finished reading: “Simon vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda” by Becky Albertalli. Simply adorable. The film “Love, Simon” differs from the plot of the novel quite a lot... app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/6610...

Classic Doctor Who Writer: Right. This story I've written has a really wild twist at the end of Part One. You won't see it coming. Classic Doctor Who fan: What's the story called? CDW Writer: The Dalek Invasion of Earth CDW Fan: Is the twist; 'There are Daleks'? CDW Writer:

Not saying I believe this as a cat owner, just that it would explain an awful lot.

insanely fucked up that it's 2025. it should be 2018 *at most*. ideally it should be 2015

Just finished reading this classic. HG Wells had some dire warnings for humanity. Fittingly ahead of his time. app.thestorygraph.com/books/bdbdcb...

Do any human want to live in this kind of dystopia? on.ft.com/41MbAp3
