I experimented with asking Copilot for help thinking through my California mail-in ballot. It was mostly accurate and helpful, but it made one very important mistake: it completely whiffed on the subtext of Prop 41 as an attempt to undermine Prop 40 (which, as far as I can tell, is the whole point)

Stumbled across this “highly unexpected” 1965 book at a Berlin used bookstore. It might be great, or it might be terrible

Arts heads and directors did get that guidance from the dean’s office, and I know that at least some heads have passed it on!

I am calling for a complete and total shutdown of Mexican food in England until we can figure out what the hell is going on

Do you take that to be the contemporary epistemological consensus? I feel like James is treated like a weird eccentric uncle, amusing and to be tolerated, but not to be taken too seriously

One funny new AI thing is the way people make up fake AI pictures to corroborate excuses, in case where it never used to be normal to send a picture in the first place. In the past, when people texted "sorry I'm late, my car broke down," they just texted! they didn't send a picture

Although in endorsing a Lockean secondary properties view, Wookieepedia imo gets the basics right in a way that Wikipedia doesn’t: Wikipedia’s identification of colours with visual perceptions has a hard time accommodating the fact that blue, green, red, and yellow are indeed examples of colours

I did not expect to learn a cool new word from my Prime Minister, but here we are. What a world. "hydronym" is actually a pretty cool word though!

I logged into bluesky for the first time in months because I needed somewhere to vent. "Speed limits must be driven by common sense!" I knew we lived in a stupid world, but I didn't realize it was so stupid that a major political party would feel good about saying a sentence like that out loud!

Vancouver's ABC local government killed traffic safety measures, on the grounds that "speed limits must be driven by common sense, not ideology." Speed limits should be informed by the social wisdom of urban planning and public health. Relying on "common sense" is the way to defer to ideology!

OK so it turns out the Senate budget bill included a secret provision to provide public (i.e. taxpayer) payoffs to a handful of individual senators? I mean there's corruption, and then there's blatant, brazen, who gives a shit corruption

I actually turned it off halfway through and said “this is stupid, I’m going to bed.” BUT I do intend to watch the rest soon

Today I discharged the vague intention I've had for a while, and googled "Sydney Sweeney jeans" to finally learn what that's all about. It's much more boring and stupid than I'd been led to believe. 1.5/5, do not recommend

If you live in BC and are 16-29, please consider taking this survey about relationship equity. It's to help the research team (including me in a small role) measure intimate relationship equity in a more inclusive way. Survey link here: www.surveymonkey.ca/r/reimagynsu...

Hello, Bluesky! I'm Jonathan. I used to like twitter and I used it a lot, then I stopped liking it, then I stopped using it. I've heard mixed things about this new platform but I thought it was time to come give it a try. What do you like or not like about Bluesky?
