“Just calm down and let people enjoy chatgpt.” Sorry, no. I find it creepy that folks are treating a machine that mimics human speech as their friend / therapist. It is feeding you lies. It is destroying your thinking abilities. Shut it off. Talk to other humans. Go outside.

I am once again begging people to realize that the law is words on paper and is not self executing. "That's illegal" is not and has never been synonymous with "that's impossible" or "that can't be done." "That's illegal" means "you might get in trouble for that depending on who you are."

Ok. What’s some weird regional shit I should try when I’m in the UK? My goal is to eat weird crisp flavors and I want to get an Irn Bru in Scotland. What else should I be looking to try? What’s the London equivalent of RC cola? What’s a snack cake you only find in the north?

Woke up and couldn’t move my right leg. I freaked out for about 10 seconds before realizing there’s just a fat cat sleeping on it

When I was a kid, evangelical Christians were losing their entire minds over bar codes being the Mark of the Beast. You may not remember this because absolutely nothing came of it. Make Evangelical Nonsense Irrelevant Again.

FOSSIL HELP: I found this lying on the beach at Hunstanton and it looks very tooth-like to me. Am I just kidding myself? Any ideas what it might be?

There is so much wrong with this. One is that “healthy” means “having a robust immune system” and you know who doesn’t have a robust immune system because they haven’t been exposed? Children, particularly infants and toddlers.

Hey, just a quiet reminder: it’s not true that people get more conservative as they age. Populations get more conservative as they age because poor and marginalized people die sooner. nymag.com/intelligence...

This. An emergency recall of parliament on a weekend for British Steel. Nothing at all for UK HE which employs far more people, has already shed 10,000 academic jobs, with several institutions on the brink of collapse. A reminder: we train all the doctors, teachers, engineers, nurses, lawyers &c &c

This piece basically sums up the harms that can be caused by predatory consumer medical tech companies flogging the worried well tests they probably don't need. @mgtmccartney.bsky.social is really good on this kind of thing; you should read her stuff www.thetimes.com/life-style/h...

For @thefence.bsky.social I'm collecting EXTREMELY PETTY MONEY SAVING TIPS for the coming recession, eg using white bread instead of pencil erasers or buying a 1981 calendar for 2026 because the days will line up. If any of you can beat this absurdly niche example I've just been sent, I'm all ears.
