I have seen the leaked pulsar timing array announcement and it’s largely about a new licensing agreement with Guy Fieri to debut a new hot sauce blend called “Gravitational Crave” at his Flavortown franchise of family restaurants.

I'm never buying ASUS anymore. Service is a trainwreck. I've heard stories, but didn't realize the hit rate of disaster was near 100%. Every time I talk to a rep I get a completely different story.

Plenty of other manufacturers with the same products.

Okay, @60Minutes is saying that Google's Bard model "spoke in a foreign language it was never trained to know." I looked into what this can mean, and it appears to be a lie. Here's the evidence, curious what others found. 🧵

@malxavi "at the expense of (everyone else)" HOW SO, CAITLIN? How does this hurt *anybody?*

@JSussman @MNateShyamalan I also had to go back to the profile for confirmation, where I found rudely proud transphobia, so, nope, not parody. At. All.

@DaveBlass @_Pundus_ This is amazing to see! It's essentially what we (me friends and I at least) came up with from the episodes. Even the reason, loss of the shipyard! This art is so cool. Thank you for sharing

I'm joining the Carolyn A. Lynch Institute to present a #teacher #ProfessionalDevelopment course on "Digital Citizenship," a course I built for Emmanuel College, and how to adapt it for your teaching.

@cherrykoda_ the key is to say the whole phrase, at 8:30am Dunkins speed, ideally in a noisy environment: "whoalmilk" and "oahlmilk" start to merge

[Mark Sherman @profmks]

For coffee reasons, it's unfortunate how similar "oat" and "whole" sound in the New England accent

@razmig @elonmusk Meanwhile I still can't log into my other account because it needs a 2FA backup code, the checking of which was apparently an "unnecessary microservice"

grocery store chains: we set record profits this year

retail chains: we've never made so much money

energy companies: we just posted our best quarter on record

news article: who is to blame for inflation? you peasants wanting wages, probably

Threats and vandalism did not stop TST West Virginia from installing their holiday display at the State capitol this week alongside Jewish, Rastafarian, Kwanzaa, and Festivus displays. Together we can ensure public spaces represent more than Christian hegemony.
