This sort of “civility” talk always boils down to “everybody just needs to calm down and make peace with permanent, everlasting Republican rule.”

I suspect some “AI productivity gains” in tech are actually people being overworked in a bad job market. Uber laid off 3,300 workers this month after employees complained about too much coordination. Its CEO also says employees should answer weekend emails and “don’t come here if you want to coast”

Didn’t have the greatest summer gardening season this year, but I’m still really proud of this monster globe basil plant I grew from seed. Amazing what happens when you prune something correctly.

Very large globe basil plant, spheroid in appearance with a few flowers starting to come out, almost overtaking a sizable horse trough repurposed into a gardening container.

The doomsday stuff from AI researchers is so annoying. It’s like hey the weirdest guy you know keeps saying he’s going to blow up your house. He won’t show you the bomb. Every time he does this he gets another $1,000. But also he might do it. Wyd?

fwiw this is terrible survey design if what you are trying to capture are addictive or counterproductive behaviors. it makes no distinction, for example, between a guy who spends a few hours each week playing madden and a guy who has no other interests other than obsessive gaming

@wmata.com You really have to do something about these D60 buses stopping for breaks in front of stop 1001220 at Franklin Park. They block the D24, A49, and D6X buses from being able to pull over or even see people waiting and they skip the stop. It’s ridiculous

SCOOP: 404 Media placed a tracking device in a shipment of rare books to see which AI company was buying it. What did we find? It ended up at an Amazon facility where Amazon scans and destroys books. Yes. This is literally the logo outside the Amazon warehouse door. Read now:

Furious that Chris Nolan would disregard historical accuracy in adapting The Odyssey by making a "movie" with "cameras" instead of memorizing the entire story and then going on a nationwide tour to sing it to us while tripping on ergotized barley

It also goes beyond science to impact basically every federal grant and cooperative agreement. I’m not seeing that discussed a lot but since so much service delivery happens through local non-profits, the effects of heavily politicizing that will also be quite bad.

the most surreal thing about this era of open yelling about masculinity is that, if you grew up anything like I did, you were exposed to several sets of standards of masculinity and would be hard pressed to identify which of them the Paxtons and Millers of the world are living up to

Sriracha is a nice add on I’ve seen to the Seattle Dog as well. I love the story (probably not true) that the cream cheese came from a guy trying to sell bagels out of a hot dog cart and people kept coming up to him asking for hot dogs so he started serving hot dogs but with the cream cheese.

Off to a decent start at the community garden here in DC - garlic scapes just starting to appear, tomatoes with plenty of blossoms, and I have three surviving pepper plants by the looks of it. Echinacea, as always, is invincible, and my blackberries are just starting to ripen. #gardening

This 1952 memo from the Pentagon UFO files is superb There is no point preparing for aliens ‘because no one of consequence is going to take this rubbish seriously unless it happens. At that point, our policy will be determined in the traditional manner of grand panic.’ 🤣 www.war.gov/medialink/uf...

There likely is nothing to be done at the moment to prepare for these possibilities (the only body of writing on the subject available in an emergency is science fiction), because no one of consequence is going to take this rubbish seriously unless it happens. At that point, our policy will be determined in the traditional manner of grand panic.
