One of my best friends is from a sleepy, wealthy small town in the south-west of Germany. He said, so many of my parents’ neighbours are rich and bored, with little to complain about, and they’ve radicalised themselves at dinner parties and online. In their aimlessness, they’ve bonded over hate.

I went from a chatbot, to a broken link, to a phone call with AI, to a conversation with an actual human being this morning, and that human being fixed my problem within 15 seconds. It took me 40 minutes to get to that 15 seconds. Don’t call this “customer-centric”. Just don’t.

I've been digging into the science of learning a lot lately, in an effort to better understand my kids and what they need. I've found what we traditionally called 'gifted' kids fall into one of two categories: Kids working really hard, generally because of family pressure. And neurodivergents.

I worked on a project where the publisher insisted to me that people preferred 2-player co-op to 4-player co-op until, near the end of the project, someone else on the team said "I don't know why you were told that. We have no data that suggests such a thing"

Social Security has a payment accuracy rate of over 99 percent. Only 0.3 percent of Social Security benefits are improper payments, which are typically caused by mistakes or delays. That's better than any private insurance company. www.cbpp.org/blog/setting...

Beautifully put by Miranda 💜 #IndieAnimation requires the time and passion of mainstream animation, often with a fraction of the funding and resources. Everything you see made is like a small miracle. Please value all the love behind the scenes over expectations of ‘polish’ and ‘perfection’ 🙏🏻 ✨

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

Say what you want about Kendrick but the fact that people are figuring out what “40 acres and a mule” in 2025 is why any education to black history is important, no matter no big nor small.

Don't be gaslit: They are Nazis. This is a Nazi salute. They are not hiding it, or dog whistling, they are announcing it. They have come out as Nazis. Show the people in your life these images all together. Make them understand this is not an accident, or a fluke. It is happening here.

This is another reason I created the Verified Observer, and why I've considered expanding its scope, but I would need help. Bot impersonators trying to influence the narrative are something we must protect against here on Bsky! Luckily, they take moderation very seriously as well!

Doc's right (he's right a lot) about how "weird" isn't taught. Everyone is a product of their environment and sometimes that environment makes your art a little bit more off-kilter. Like my art often incorporates uncanny valley because I see it in everything.

Hey look it's why I'm on the "it's fascism" side of that debate. Maybe it's reductive but the whole debate just seems like the Europeanists and theorists didn't read Behind the Mask of Chivalry, and don't think it's fascism, but Americanists who did, do.

A president rapidly sundowning into full-blown dementia ambiguously handed power over the entire government to a delusional billionaire drug addict in a made-up illegal quasi-office and the Cabinet is split over whether their departments have to listen to his mad orders. It's day 34.

I'll say what I said at the time: 99.999% of people offering blanket condemnations of Luigi Mangione, for "violence is bad" or "slippery slope" reasons, has thought that someone somewhere has deserved to die before. And they will again.

I honestly hope that if people hear this coming from me then maybe it will sink in you DO NOT need to get arrested. We live in a surveillance state, an arrest now does not carry the same consequences as arrests in ‘68. The state is violent & will escalate on you. You should avoid arrest if possible

Your mental health comes first, always. No relationship, not even family, should come at the cost of your peace. It’s okay to walk away from toxicity, to set boundaries, and to put yourself first. Healing starts with choosing what’s best for you.
