@minnesotaorchestra.org I’m disappointed to see Harry Potter on the calendar again There’s a direct line between the Harry Potter IP and ongoing material harm to the LGBT community. You should not be helping Joanne Røwling in her crusade

…But AI deskilling might be a new pattern— make yourself the only option by dulling the cognitive abilities of your competition, which in this case is humanity.

More and more I’m worried that the neural impact of intense AI usage is part of the plan. Tech has an established history by creating dependence, whether by undercutting or leveraging addiction patterns…

So what actually keeps meat moist? 1. Don’t fear the fat. Marbled cuts are the most cuts. 2. Brining uses osmosis to bring water into meat fibers 3. Thermometers are your friend. Cook to temp, not time. 3. Leave the lid down or the door closed until it’s finished!

Spencer KR @spencerkr.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

“Water smokers are for keeping meat moist with steam!” Meat can easily become dry in a steamy environment. In fact the driest meat you’ll ever eat is boiled chicken, because the meat loses moisture at a cellular level.

“When making skewers, smush the ingredients together!” Smushing skewers reduces surface area which increases the cook time aaaaaaand dries everything out!

Spencer KR @spencerkr.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

“Leave the fat cap on the pork shoulder!” The alleged basting effect is dubious at best. Why a tiny trickle of pork fat running down the sides of the roast should keep it moist on the inside is beyond me

Spencer KR @spencerkr.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

“Baste your turkey!” Basting requires opening the oven repeatedly. Opening the oven cools it, which extends the cook time, which makes the turkey drier

“Searing seals in juices” Searing creates flavor but it doesn’t seal anything. It ruptures cell walls and that releases moisture

When I was in the heat dome, there was nothing you could do. Cold shower? The cold water is hot. Go get a soda? Nobody has ice. Rent an air conditioner? Doesn’t help, your apartment is a greenhouse. Still 100f inside. The floor is hot. The walls are hot. Every direction you turn it’s just hot

Spencer KR @spencerkr.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

Watching Americans make light of the European heat wave hits different after surviving the Pacific Heat Dome. Like, until you’ve experienced a heat wave in a place that’s built from the ground up for a different climate, you don’t know what you’re talking about

Linkedin is essentially overrun by bots, and what’s worse is it wants to be overrun by bots. Like spam, popups, and software before it, the malicious attack has been repackaged as an innovation.

Right now the world is full of people who want to code and write and paint and film stuff and people who want to play and read and look at and watch stuff and nobody is allowed to do any of that because some unrelated third guy isn't making enough money off the deal

This gets really frustrating when you want to try to answer a basic question like “is this character racist?” (usually yes) The South Park fandom will swarm at the first sniff of this to caw the mantra “it’s just a joke!” while Kyle sermonizes the evils of disability accommodations or something

Spencer KR @spencerkr.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

So this creates a really weird dynamic where the average episode of South Park is basically a wrapper for a persuasive essay, but if you want to respond to the nested essay in any way, South Park’s defenders can go, “ha! Manbearpig! Triggered!”

Characters will literally monologue an opinion directly at the fourth wall, characters the creators freely admit are self-inserts. So the show has opinions. But the show has also spent decades casting anyone who has opposing opinions as over-sensitive ninnies.

Spencer KR @spencerkr.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

Yeah, South Park, why not. South Park has this really weird status in our culture where they have extremely clear deliberate political messaging, but you’re not allowed to talk about it as rhetoric or else you’re a wet blanket THREAD TIME

I’ve noticed a trend where young people refer to pre-HD game consoles as analog, and I’ll admit my gut reaction is “what are you talking about, there’s a computer chip in there, it’s digital” but I guess if you’re referring to just the video signal it kinda makes sense?

But now the risk includes the prospect that the skills we spent lifetimes honing will *no longer be waiting for us when we return.* This adds an especially gruesome note to the stories of mandatory AI adoption in the workplace.

Spencer KR @spencerkr.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

It has a profound effect on the risk-reward scenario for early AI adoption as well. Choosing to be an early adopter once seemed basically risk free (perhaps provoking some social kerfuffles, easily avoided.) And if the predictions of post VC price hikes come true? Just go back to doing your job

I don't know about you, but this sends a chill down my spine. I value the skills I have like a home I built with my bare hands, and the thought that something could erode that home without me even noticing sends my equilibrium out of whack www.businessinsider.com/ai-deskillin...
