@incomprehensibeel Learn to love your inner Haley. Haley did nothing wrong. IMO.

@lapis I think he wants everyone to THINK he's a nepo ... but his dad was a plumber and his mom worked at the Social Security Admin offices.

@mason The fastest way to get kids to stop using some neologism or some annoying meme is to try to get in on it and be are REAL corn ball about it. I learned a bunch of "6 7" jokes to just this end and that number has never troubled me since.

@mason I feel a little bad about it but I really really really could not take it anymore as a math teacher. It was a rough few weeks for all of us. We will all remember.

@Wyatt_H_Knott @mason No. Not 167,423 ants in a coat. That is incorrect.

I was wondering when I went for my walk "is there any connection between 'mogging' and 'moggies'?" ... I think Pica has answered this question.

@ShaulaEvans 1. The largest ant to ever walk the earth that we know of is the extinct species known as "Titanomyrma" The fossilized queens of this species were about the size of hummingbirds. 2. Carpenter ants sleep in a cuddle pile inside of their homes in rotting logs, like puppies. 3. Camponotus rectangularis is a carpenter ant with a wide head and simple black eyes. She gets her second name from her rectangle-shaped thorax. 4. The oldest verified ant queen lived over three decades.

@Noortjevee Yes, it was this thing we did in Girl Scouts where we'd send a post card to a kind somewhere else in the wold and they'd write us by. My postcard buddy never even sent me the first card back and she gets a whole Canadian boyfriend out of it? In just two years?

@lucydev It's also condescending, insulting, to disabled people to suggest that if some of them, IDK, struggle with a paint brush what is needed is for the computer to draw it for them rather than for all of us to look and listen with more care to the work that they create.1/

@lucydev I heard a guy say AI could "make art more diverse" and he had all these images of black elves and dwarfs. As if "lacking diversity" were just a surface issue not one built into who gets to participate, who has the time for creative expression. As if just pasting in a different colored face were the same thing as having an artist who wanted to draw that diversity and whose work would be informed and improved by the culture and experience that inform it. 2/

@lucydev These AI as equity arguments aren't coming from people who have ever said anything about "equity" before this moment, and they will never say anything about equity after this moment. They don't really care about equity. They just want to have something to say that might people pause in their criticism. "What if it really could help people?" Let that go. If it could help people you'd see people using AI effectively to help people. They are using it as cover. 3/3

Trump has tried to create a replacement for the UN. The only countries who have joined are smaller countries who felt like they couldn't say "no" to Trump in this moment due to US military and economic power. The logo is a big embarrassment. It explains everything. Here is the BOP's logo next to the UN's logo. The UN's logo tries to downplay the centering of US power and European power. Board of Peace has no pretense of egalitarianism.

I think most Americans would like the first logo more, unfortunately. The projection in the UN logo is an unfamiliar one and I would not be shocked if Trump and his associates struggled to understand what it was. Or felt annoyed by how such a projection forces you to think for a moment. The BOP logo runs to the other extreme. And this requires intentional not just incidental myopia. My home country is acting like a jackass.

Someone should tell him it's much more classy and powerful to call them "ministries" not "boards" boards are for corporations with their board meetings. Give us the "Ministry of Peace" and the "Ministry of Truth"

@Natasha_Jay Pica has a very expressive face. And she has a lot of emotions and ideas that she wants YOU to know about. I'm biased but I think she's exceptional even among cats in this. But, anyone can prove me wrong by posting photos of all of the funny faces your cat makes. (could this be a ploy to get more cat photos? oh no no no never )#picaTheCat
