I'm unreasonably upset that this guy pops up when I google "jelly roll" instead of an actual jelly roll

This is “agentic parenting” folks 😆

Teaching erosion to our science pod today, making a coastline with a beach and then subjecting it to waves 🌊

I use AI to plan and log lessons, but our kids education looks like this 😎

In adults, limiting smartphone functionality to texting and calls and blocking all social media and mobile internet for 2 weeks significantly improved attention, self-reported well-being and mental health. 90% of participants experienced a benefit.

I just a big turkey strutting happily around a suburban yard this morning, which put me in a very good mood, which then sparked the realization that my moods make very little sense.

Block and Spiral just launched Loupe, a free AI-powered vulnerability scanner for open-source Bitcoin projects.

The tool scans Bitcoin codebases for security flaws across millions of lines of code. It is available as a free "scanning-as-a-service" tool for any open-source Bitcoin developer.

As Bitcoin secures hundreds of billions in value and the codebase grows more complex, automated security scanning is no longer optional.

Block and Spiral say it is "mission-critical" for the ecosystem, especially as open-source developers face growing pressure to secure infrastructure that most of the world's financial system is increasingly building on.

The pork industry lost with voters. Lost at the Supreme Court. So they turned to Congress—and got the "Save Our Bacon" Act buried in the House Farm Bill. It's the biggest rollback of animal welfare protections in U.S. history. A thread. 🧵

[The Humane League @TheHumaneLeague]

Last week, the House passed a Farm Bill that would roll back protections for millions of animals. Now the bill is headed to the Senate, and this is our chance to stop it. Congress needs to hear from you right now: https://t.co/oSbd5HVOkr

We used to go to a special website, ask strangers for help with programming, and get humiliated in return

@cardamomkiss I'm loving the color-coded book shelf.

@frogandtoadbook No onesies? :-)

[Steven Pinker @sapinker]

It may be unrealistic to expect the world to become vegetarian (at least not until synthetic meat is produced at scale), but that doesn't mean we must treat farm animals with vicious cruelty. Small protections can reduce massive harm at tolerable costs. Tell your senator to vote NO on the Farm Bill if it includes the "#SaveOurBacon Act."

Tim Heidecker is the new InfoWars host? This is the best news ever.

THE NEW INFOWARS….

I have a feeling Alex Jones won’t like it.

And yes this is real.
