AI application that I would use every day: See this Youtube video about ancient civilization? It looks interesting, but also like it might be woowoo-crackpot. Can you look at it for me and find out so I'm not accidentally telling the algo to show me more about how Atlantis welcomed aliens?

I finally got around to reading and watching "Project Hail Mary." I think I have a new favorite alien.

Finally read Hail Mary; awesome nerd read. Now I desperately want to make an Eridian Clock.

“Since inoculation began, there is no such thing as a plain woman.” Mrs Hardcastle, "She Stoops to Conquer" 1776 When written, inoculation had only been popular for ~20y. Suddenly young people were more attractive than their parents had been, because they weren't marred by pocks.

TIL that people are even gatekeeping spoons now, because disabled people don't have enough to deal with, apparently.

Dear #Youtube, I have been blocking the triggering Pocket.FM ads many times a day for weeks now. Maybe it's time to stop pretending that block does anything. You'll show anything to anyone if they'll pay you enough. Or is this a way to punish me until I pay you to make it stop? Not a good look.

This "Fill-in-the-blank Situation is crazy" situation is crazy. Wait. No it's not. It's just the newest clickbait meme.

Let's talk about destructive scanning. It's arguably problematic in at least some cases, but if you've ever gone to the library to use the microfiche machine (or looked at the digital version), you're reading something that was destructively scanned. (1/...)

Peter Howell @peterbhowell.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

TIL that much of the "they're scanning and destroying RARE books!" in social media is a guerilla marketing campaign by an audiobook subscription service.

It just struck me: You'd think having an identical twin would be great for constructing alibis, but it's the opposite. If either of you doesn't have a strong alibi, then you're both suspect.

Ever been to Udvar-Hazy? It's amazing, but there's something backward about having billion dollar museum to warplanes but not one to the evolution of tractors, the machines the feed us.

I'm in the Eclipse live feed. The people in the comments who think Jesus is coming because because a shadow is going to pass over their country is... sad.

And Season 2 would feature ART heavily. I'm going to be disappointed if it's not voiced by Patton Oswald. That's who a hear in my head when I listen to the audiobook, even though it's not him reading it.

Guys. Heads up. Let’s talk about Hantavirus. There have been SEVERAL bad takes and BLATANT misinformation circulating regarding this outbreak so I figured it was a good idea to make a thread about it. Stay calm. Stay vigilant. Know your facts. Here’s ALL you need to know. 🧪🧵⬇️

If you ever find yourself wanting to say "people who disagree with me are just brain washed," remember that that's exactly what a brain washed person would say.

We just finished the new Malcolm in the Middle thing. It's an excellent reprise of the characters and a lot of fun, but I'm becoming the curmudgeon who longs for the "good old days" when studios had the balls to commit to a season at a time.

I like to coin a new term:"Point slop." It's when a "creator" just plays a video with them in front pointing and making faces.

We're going to battle AI slop, by.... having an AI arbitrarily hammer channels that real, breathing people made ,and other real breathing people like enough to watch and join, because humans don't get to decide anymore. -Google, apparently. youtube.com/post/UgkxUJY...

I'm still trying to figure out if this woman is a scammer or totally delusional. I think it's the second, but I kind of don't want to. Also, don't really want to give her more attention, but wow. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZ__...

It may be more common and therefore "normal" but more and more I think it needs a DSM entry: Let's call it DPD - Drab Personality Disorder. youtube.com/shorts/7Kv0y...

Unpopular opinion: sunk cost is often not a fallacy. It's the main thing that gets the project across the finish line.
