Tell me I'm crazy — shouldn't this show me day of the week, too? "November 4" means nothing without also sharing that it's a Wednesday. #shortMicrosoft

Honestly, of all the things I need in life, last among them is Copilot.

I had the FitBit One (literally the first one) and it was perfect. The device itself, the app, everything. All I wanted then and now. ... Then Google showed up.

I need your help. I can't keep going on Threads. It's awful there. Folks are thick and argumentative. No humour, no finesse. Where are the good accounts? Where's the scene that reflects the Twitter of old?

@grammargirl.bsky.social Is there a term for when people accidentally mash-up two idiomatic expressions, e.g. "Push the needle" or "Tick off some targets"? I have a colleague who is addicted to this madness, not ironically or on purpose.

Folks, what are we doing about the unchecked propagation of fake-ass shit on the internet? Not even AI-generated — just genuinely unoriginal content. People are re-sharing stories from AOL chain letters c.1995. They are filming themselves doing an entire skit that someone else made. For clicks?

What the actual hell is @adobe.com smoking here? I'm in the middle of my working day — why would I want to send a PDF on WhatsApp?!?! I don't even have an account. And I never — ever — need these animated pop-ups in my software.

I lived in England. Even with so many similarities, there's still a feeling of being a stranger in a strange land. The notion of "home" is compelling, even to those privileged enough to choose where they reside. I can see them also choosing a form of political asylum. Things are wild over here!

Used this last week to faithfully create a large vector version of a client logo. It worked seriously well — a blessing for those of us who've been re-making crunchy logos for 25 years.

I nerd out for Passive Haus and other high-performance building technology. Triple-pane glass, cork spray coatings, hempcrete, recycled plastic roofing, hydronic cooling, etc. etc. People think I'm a weirdo. But go ahead and turn on the weather. Tell me we don't live in an extreme climate.

Indeed, some adaptations are too immense for the big or small screen. Ready Player One comes to mind. (Sorry Mr. Spielberg.) But for anyone who didn't read the book, dropping into a world created with cinema-first rules might not be a bad thing.

Serious question: Is this more offensive to Muslims or Christians? On the one hand, the most blasphemous, least pious individual ever is mock-praising Allah, but on the other hand, it's literally Easter Sunday! Also, Bridge Day sounds like a plausible Catholic holiday, a la Ash Wednesday.

Reminds me of a lecture I saw once with Richard Dawkins where he equated distance to time. The Industrial Revolution was 🤏🏽 *this far* in the past, but the Mesozoic Era was the distance from London to Moscow. That sort of thing.

Right, but do they get guidelines on what embodies a "Best Picture"? Or just a free-for-all based on what they feel like?

Prescott Perez-Fox @scottperezfox.bsky.social · 16/03/2026

But seriously, what does it mean to be Best Picture? Are you saying everyone with eyes should see it? Is it the overall best-made film? The cleverest idea? The one that pushes the state of the art? Or just the one with the highest score of like/dislike according to the voting pool? #film #oscars

I was surprised Hamnet got so few trophies. I thought it was exceptional from top to bottom, and I usually don't like Chloe Zhou's movies.
