I made my friend write her own summary and elevator pitch. She had written a book. Herself, with her own thoughts and skills and imperfect punctuation, and she was going to hand the synopsis and pitch tasks to GenAI. fantastic-machine.com/ideas/we-sto...

Almost every dataset you work with has a time column, and it is still one of the hardest things to get right. Issue 6 of Nightingale Magazine is about that problem. Around twenty pieces from practitioners and researchers, in print. Ships in December 2026. Pre-order your copy: buff.ly/SFfNXgs

Short poem overlaid on a watercolor and ink painting in a range of blues from pale to very dark, and some shimmering, mica-infused gold.

For me, the tell is a blurry feeling in my eyes and general numbness. I'm sure I'm not catching it all this way, but I refuse to join the m-dash witch hunt (Emily Dickinson fan). I've been working on an app that helps writers by being a socratic and research partner that refuses to write for you.

Hi, friends. Justin here. In January, I had open heart surgery to repair a valve. The alternative was, basically, to die. So many beautiful souls helped my family. This is my new chapbook, THE HUMBLE APARTMENT OF MY CHEST. I'm giving it to the world as a free download to say thank you. Link below.

To me, apathy isn't the issue. It's the splintering of groups that refuse to work with each other because "the other ones are doing it wrong," "they're not [fill in the blank] enough," etc. It's not red vs. blue, but blue vs. blue vs. blue vs. blue

It's been fun & challenging! The mashup of physical model and spatial data projection has been really cool. After all the printing and projector calibration it's exciting to see data projected! We plan to add different visualisations/simulations with park team as part of a new visitor experience 😎🇻🇳

Not a great economy alert! Wall Street Bets users think Palantir spiked today because The Onion story titled “Palantir Acquires Pentagon for $800 Billion” hit their front page. They’re guessing trading bots indexed the top post on the subreddit reddit not understanding source.

Trump’s DOJ has charged 15 anti-ICE protesters in Minnesota. The charges are based on his national security memo that categorized “anti-capitalism,” “anti-Americanism,” and “extremism on migration” as domestic terrorism. This is what tyranny looks like.
