Ugh, my sympathies. That's how I lost Merlin. He was worth $3900 and the insurance people were like, "It'll cost $4000 to repair it, so we're totalling it." Best of luck finding something soon!

What blows my mind with AI is the people who are like "how could you possibly function without it?" To which I say, "you, YOU literally did until what like 3 years ago? Did it degrade your brain that fast that you can't figure out how to do the thing you trained for years and earned a PhD to do?"

what was i thinking scheduling an mri at 6 o'clock in the morning (I was trying not to wait 6 months for the scan, that's what)

The US just approved its 1st new sunscreen ingredient since 1999. Europe has used it since 1999. Bemotrizinol blocks both UVA & UVB rays, breaks down more slowly than existing chemical sunscreens, & is absorbed less into the bloodstream than those same sunscreens. buff.ly/xxBcsP9 #ShareGoodNewsToo

stephen miller killed this couple, as surely as if he'd pulled the trigger himself

An entire article about the ways #ClimateChange is decimating the Bourdeux wine region of France — that never mentions the words “climate change.” This is journalistic malpractice. Not even high-school papers leave out such necessary context. #EndClimateSilence www.nytimes.com/2026/07/28/w...

Hey so also: it’s available on streaming, and I really think you should watch Supergirl, which is about women healing from trauma and beating the shit out of sex trafficking incels. news.chanda.science/archive/you-...

But each deed you do, each act, binds you to itself and to its consequences, and makes you act again and yet again. Then very seldom do you come upon a space, a time like this, between act and act, when you may stop and simply be. Or wonder who, after all, you are.

Hopefully pronounced "Pulaki"

These are all excellent reasons for wanting Betelgeuse to go boom, but I've now become more appreciative of Orion the constellation, and how this would ruin it. BUT -- I still want science and the cosmic fireworks. So ... a solution: LET'S SACRIFICE ETA CARINA. ⭐💥 NO ONE CARES ABOUT ETA CARINA.

JUST skimmed a piece in the Harvard Gazette that totally validates this "any little bit is better than doing nothing" news.harvard.edu/gazette/stor...

People keep using the "can't put a genie back in the bottle" metaphor for "AI", even though in the stories they always get back in and current "AI" is more of a "we're spending trillions of dollars and the energy output of a continent trying to keep this bastard out of the bottle" situation

“As a librarian, I think it’s important to see this as…helping people reclaim their autonomy over whether they want to use AI tools,” Bailey said. “It’s important, especially when it can be so difficult not to use them, and when the design seems to force adoption” Librarians to the rescue (again)

The brightness of Betelgeuse changes periodically. For decades astronomers had suspected that some of these variations could be due to a companion star orbiting around it. Now, the VLT has captured the clearest image ever of Betelgeuse B, a faint star orbiting Betelgeuse. 🔭 🧪 2/4

Surely the solution here is just *don't use AI tools* for your writing and research and continue to do your writing and research in ALL the ways you were doing it before you started using AI instead of doing the work??

I don't know one Irish regional accent from another—any chance he's from Northern Ireland?

Okay but he also doesn't understand what women are interested in, either. Hot sauce or no, he's gonna be a lonely guy until he figures it out.

Man: I'll maim myself to show how cool I am so you'll sleep with me Woman: That the actual fuck is wrong with you

male loneliness epidemic is here to stay

You aren’t deciding the risk for yourself if you don’t keep that risk to yourself.
