we should've all been really supportive of richard branson when he was always trying to hot air balloon around the world. that could be what all these guys are doing if we'd acted like it was bad ass. at least a couple would've died by now, died balloon deaths. and all we had to do was be nice

We're in the era of incompetence & cybercrimes headlined as "unprecedented model capabilities gone rogue." So OpenAI & Anthropic are trying to one up each other with such incompetence because the "press release as a service" performing media & clueless politicians parrot pre IPO CEO talking points.

Four years ago, a coordinated right-wing smear campaign condemned Monticello for "going woke." Bridget Gillespie was working there at the time, and she gives this revelatory inside account of the harassment staff endured and ultimately how the institution buckled. Amazing piece.

Y'all have been using "lucent" and I never even noticed until today? I had to look it up? ("Glowing with light, luminous.")

Screenshot of Google Books Ngram Viewer search for "lucent." It starts in 1800 and the squiggly line is fairly steady until it takes off in the 1950s, hitting a peak of about double usage and going into a valley around 2000 that's still higher than pre-1950, then rising to an even higher peak before another modest decline ending in 0.0000114154% in 2022.

Shout out to all the other loud-noise-averse, vegan recovering alcoholics out there! Hope you have good noise canceling headphones and can get some good "me time" in today. Third time was a charm figuring out the magic ring-- I slipknotted the end of the tail so it didn't come loose again. #crochet

#10 Crochet thread in color heliotrope with 41 stitches worked into the magic ring. The tail end is slipknotted around a soft neon orange hair tie so that it won't slip through until I'm ready to sew the end in. My pillowcase background is light blue, and the handle of my crochet hook is neon greenish-yellow.

The #PrairieCorridor smelled so good in #LNK this morning. There was a trail use detector set-up near the entrance for a user count in progress, so I felt good about doing my bit to keep the stats up. It was absolutely gorgeous out there. I hope y'all have time for a spirit-replenishing hobby today.

Sunrise on Bison trail, orange in center, subtle pastels streaked into blue sky. Trees are dramatically silhouetted on either side.

Sunrise on Prairie Corridor, peachy yellow in center with streaky clouds radiating from sun. Evergreen on right of trail, various smaller trees silhouetted near horizon on right. Dainty yellow wildflower backlit in foreground, plenty of lush green prairie grasses on ground.

Dainty yellow wildflower in froont of pastel blue and pink sky. Ground covered in prairie grasses and green trees on horizon.

Orangey-golden light flooding from sun peaking through trees in background. Rabbit running on gravel trail in foreground, with lush green prairie grass on either side.

Anyone else in #LNK see what looked like a #sundog this morning? (Photo taken on Bison trail near Salt Creek bridge.) I've never seen one in warm weather before, so I'm not sure what this is.

The sun has just risen over horizon and there is a faint semicircle of light around it with some subtle rainbowy spots on either side. There are small clouds covering the sky and trees on the horizon.

As odd as it sounds ... Many Ableists can't conceive that disabled people who depend on Alt text can't magically manifest that Alt text on their own ... As if they believe that we are just asking for Alt text to be annoying or obnoxious to them.

the "I am very intelligent" meme.

The person with the bushel is labeled "Disabled Person"
The person in the well is labeled "Ableist"

Disabled Person:
Please add alt text to make images accessible to disabled people.

Ableist:
Screen Capture of a Skeet with user data removed that reads
"Nothing is stopping you from retweeting images with your own alt text."

Then the traditional element of the meme: "I am very intelligent.
