My favorite part about chatting with editors is that I can luxuriantly use the subjunctive and they don’t look at me like I were ridiculous.

@mb I love this for you!

the court accepted my name change documents today. you may reply “good job mb” or similar.

A typical AI data center uses as much electricity as 100,000 households, while the largest under development will consume as much power as 2,000,000 homes — according to @NPR.

A fully mask off moment.

@MorePerfectUS Not that I don’t believe you. But [citation needed?]

Amazon has canceled orders for beach chairs, scooters, air conditioners and other products made in China and additional Asian countries in response to the tariffs imposed by Donald Trump.

@mb Heck yeah, MB! Youuuu got this!

switched to injections and just did my first shot. can i get a “good job mb” in the chat?

@PeoplesCDC If I might ask, is your podcast also on iTunes? (I tried searching iTunes for “People’s CDC” and “The Weather Report” but I couldn’t seem to find you?) I’d love to be able to listen to you if I could!

Not able to read the Weather Report? No worries! Now you can just listen: open.spotify.com/episode/4NxA8W…

@baynewsmatters @ILRLaborAction While I fully stand behind the drivers’ efforts to win fair wages, I might just add that Uber and Lyft are no more “ridesharing” services than American Airlines is a “flight sharing” service. Rather, I might lean toward phrasing such as “ride-hailing services.”

Texas Observer writer @stevanzetti uncovered an ICE prosecutor in Texas who ran a white supremacist account here on X. I checked his account and discovered I'd already blocked him — which means at some point he had said something vile in response to one of my posts.

New by me —> Trump wants news outlets to get on board with "Gulf of America" — or else. So, will they? I asked a bunch of major news outlets, and the answer is basically "no." niemanlab.org/2025/02/trump-…

I cannot believe my school tried teaching me French instead of Mandarin. There’s never gonna a BaguetteNote

I’ve been stuck at the Dallas airport since yesterday morning. I have spent a total of NINE (!!!) hours on waiting to take off on the tarmac, and my flight was delayed again, in part bc Texans can’t handle snow I need to distract myself what FOIA requests should I file????

@MorePerfectUS I like the sound of this!

The NLRB has classified ‘Love Is Blind’ contestants as employees. This case could open the door for unionization across the reality TV industry. Actors on these shows are often paid low wages and subjected to atrocious conditions.

@Flighty @rjonesy Is there any additional information that I might be able provide that may be helpful for this?

@FriendlyAshley @rjonesy I’d have to see the full timetable. It must be early versus the schedule.

@Flighty @rjonesy A potential bug in Flighty? (We had boarded, but then we deplaned due to an issue. We’re hoping to board a new plane soon.) So we haven’t taken off, and Flighty itself acknowledges that takeoff will be in 36 mins —but Flighty still says our takeoff is “early”?

@rjonesy Would you happen to know of any weather apps that might be planning on making use of either of those models? (And bonus points if any of them might include, uh, lines depicting weather attributes?)

🚨🚨🚨 Currently ECMWF is the best weather model by far. But it's ~$250k/mo and takes ~4h/run on a supercomputer. Google's Gen 2 AI weather forecast model runs in 8 mins on one Cloud TPU and is more accurate in ~97% of scenarios. IT'S HAPPENING deepmind.google/discover/blog/…

@fuckyouiquit By chance will you also be on Bluesky? (I’d personally just prefer not to participate in Zuck’s empire is all.)

Looks like people are abandoning this place in droves. If you do and are staying on socials, Threads will be my other hub. Hope to see y'all there. @fuckyouiquit" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">threads.net/@fuckyouiquit

In England "booster shot" is spelled "borchestershire shot".
