Proof that Trump is chicken! Specifically, an economy class in-flight chicken parmigiana dinner.

Donald Trump in an airline meal trolley. (Probably photoshopped, might be AI, don't care: it's obviously a fake, but stands as political commentary.)

Donald Trump destroys the lives of young girls in an effort to distract from hius past destruction of the lives of young girls.

This feels like an excellent explanation of why trans people are more visible than previously - despite the bigotry things are getting better, so people are expressing who they are. If someone else's gender identity makes *you* uncomfortable, don't make it *their* problem.

Mostert with the plan B - park the car and let the safety crew drive home - so cracking a tinny. Hope that entitles the spectators to another case so they don't run short.

Oh dear. My friend @martiell wanted a picture of an angry porg, so he typed "cross porg" into ChatGPT ... chaos.social/@judy2k/11525813722149…

A porg. Nailed to a wooden cross. (I have no idea what a "porg" is. Some kind of animal with big eyes, a sad expression, and a hat.)

I'm a bit worried about the working week at Duolingo.

Duolingo screenshot showing the text "Streak Society", "199 day streak", then "You've extended your streak during the same hour 15 days this week!"

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Auburn, recently used my second-place finish in the 1,600-meter run, and that of my teammate in the 800-meter run, to malign Soren Stark-Chessa, the trans-identified athlete who finished first.

One of the reasons I chose to run cross-country and track is the community: Teammates cheering each other on, athletes from different schools coming together, and the fact that personal improvement is valued as much as, if not more than, the place we finish.

Last Friday, I ran the fastest 1,600-meter race I have ever run in middle school or high school track and earned varsity status by my school’s standards. I am extremely proud of the effort I put into the race and the time that I achieved. The fact that someone else finished in front of me didn’t diminish the happiness I felt after finishing that race. I don’t feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points.

We are all just kids trying to make our way through high school. Participating in sports is the highlight of high school for some kids. No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby, who want to take sports away from some kids just because of who they are.

I know it's tarring an entire profession due to one member, but I can't help but wonder if there's a connection between these two headlines.

This looks like something out of a David Lynch film. Wouldn't it be lovely if they were a dystopian fantasy instead of reality?

Marking exams makes me wonder if half the problems with LLMs stem from using student work as a source. Lots of confidently spouted incoherence and inaccuracy in plenty of answers.

@techconnectify.bsky.social , this occurred after you began evangelising heat pumps, therefore you can take credit for it. Congratulations on improving the world. (While the first part is tongue in cheek, the previous sentence is a real sentiment. Thanks Alec.)

Trump's inauguration picture looks a lot like his mugshot. Which seems appropriate since I feel he's about to embark on what will hopefully only be four years of crime.

Couldn't let this thread die with twitter, so I've brought it over! I always feel good after swimming. It can be meditative, physical, and spiritual. So, this giant thread is a quasi photo essay of some of my favourite pools to swim. Normal pools this thread, and ocean to follow. /1
