TFW you get a notification from some retailer that something on your wish list has become available and you're going "What the hell is that and when did I put it on my wish list?" It's not necessarily wrong--you probably did add it--it's just confusing.

🦀 Fiddler crabs play love songs in the sand 💛 with a four-step courtship routine, males drum their claw on the ground to attract a mate Those with larger claws make higher energy seismic signals, which prevents dishonesty about claw size 👇 bit.ly/4cmjWXP

I spent the last week on a cruise, more-or-less without any internet. After only about 1 minute of Bluesky doom scrolling I really wish I could go back to that "ignorance is bliss" time.

Admittedly it's very "back of the envelope" but based on numbers I happened to see at a meeting yesterday, my rough estimate is the NIH indirect cap of 15% will immediately cut my university's entire budget by about 6%. Some universities will have it worse, others not as much.

As others are finding, my MS Office family plan was secretly hiked $30 to give me "Copilot and AI" which I of course never wanted. By going to cancel the plan it let me revert to the "Classic" plan which leaves out the AI bullshit. I was never charged as the annual fee is months away, but still...

After years of dilly-dallying over it, I finally deleted my Facebook account. It's a nightmare in a bazillion ways and I had little justification for staying. I downloaded my data prior to deletion and discovered it was almost exactly 20 years since it was first created. Not going to miss it.
